The Downside of Online Flower Delivery: Why Local is Best
We have rebranded to North Texas Flowers to reflect out boutique style and large flower delivery area for custom arrangements made by floral designers for delivery to you.
We receive countless calls about people looking last minute to replace bad flowers shipped in a box. We even get tagged in bad reviews for flowers we never saw.
WE ARE DIFFERENT! WE ARE A LOCAL FLORIST.
The Downside of Ordering Flowers to be shipped in a box instead of hand delivered from a local florist
Ordering flowers online to be shipped and received in a box can take away the special nature of the gift. Here are a few reasons why:
- It's not as personal. When you order flowers that are shipped in a box, a florist does not prepare the arrangement for you. This can make the gift feel less personal.
- The flowers often show up dead. Flowers that are shipped in a box can be damaged during transport. This can make them look wilted and lifeless when they arrive. Texas is HOT and flowers should not be sent in a hot delivery van with no water. Our drivers deliver the flowers quickly and in the right environment.
- You have to arrange the flowers yourself. When you order flowers online, they're often sent in a box without any arrangement. This means that the recipient will have to arrange the flowers themselves, which can be a hassle.
If you want to send someone a truly special gift of flowers, it's best to order them from a local florist. This way, you know the flowers were chosen with care and make sure that they're fresh when they arrive to your loved one.
Here are some additional tips for ordering flowers online:
- Choose a reputable online florist. Not all online florists are created equal. Do your research to find a reputable florist that has a good track record. Or come visit us in person. We are at 710 E Main Street, Suite B, in Allen Texas, 75002.
- Order your flowers early. This will give the florist plenty of time to source the freshest flowers.
- Choose a delivery date that is convenient for the recipient. This will help to ensure that the flowers arrive when the recipient is home to receive them.
- Include a personalized note with your flowers. This will add a personal touch to your gift.
- Save money by cutting out the online fees The local florist is able to make a much nicer arrangement when the do not have to pay expensive commissions. They also never see any of the convenience fees, and are often not told what you were promised online.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your online flower order arrives safely and looking its best.
In conclusion, ordering flowers online can be a convenient way to send flowers to someone, but it's important to be aware of who will prepare the flowers. If you want to send someone a truly special gift of flowers, it's best to order them from a local florist.
