OK, I know this is late for Valentine's Day, but maybe it'll save you on the next event...

Anyone using Pro Flowers for deliveries, take warning from a lesson learned...

--Flowers show up in a FedEx box, yes, inside a normal box.
--Arrangement is NOT assembled. Reciever must put them together and in the vase
--Flowers are not in bloom. Haven't even opened yet.

Great prices, but that's the only thing going for them. If you're delivering to work to wow her and impress the officemates, this one goes down as a fail! Stick with the local shop or FTD.

 

I already knew all this, because I asked around.

Pro Flowers is not a local florist, of course they're not going to arrive arranged.

Flowers not in bloom? Great! That means they'll last even longer than other places.


I guess some people have to complain about everything.

 

they screwed my brother over twice! I never use em!

 

my wife's flowers came to her work in a pro flowers box this morning. of course they wouldn't be assembled, how do you ship water in a vase? she absolutely loves her arrangement

 

I use them all the time. The flowers last several days longer because they are not already open when you get them so the person you send them to gets to enjoy them longer. They have the best flowers and a great guarantee if you are not happy. The only problem I have had with them is occasionally missing the date. They blame Fed Ex and I can buy that as Fed Ex is not as reliable as they used to be but it doesn't get me out of hot water when my anniversary flowers are a day late.

 

Some people are so petty.

 

How? They refund you if you are not happy and they sometimes give you free replacements and 10 to 20% off your next order.

 

I hate any of them... Pro Flowers, FTD, etc... it's such a waste of money.

If someone ever sent me flowers from any of these places I'd tell them next time to send me a card with some money inside... could put the money to a much better cause.

In fact, I'd take it as an insult...

 

I have never had a problem with proflowers.com, I have used them on many occasions because of the great prices, great flowers, and how long they last

Compare this, a guy I work with spend 85 dollars to send 12 roses to his wife friday while she was at work from a local florist. Those flowers will probably be withering by tomorrow morning, florists around here are terrible! I spent 45 dollars for 3 dozen roses delivered from pro flowers, of course they had to be delivered yesterday but they where overnighted by proflowers for 9 dollars shipping and where there by 10am. She loves them, and has never complained about the flowers from proflowers!


I highly recommend them!

 

Wow...seriously guys?? Guess it depends on the effect your after. I didn't want my wife to ge a box, so shoot me for trying to help the next guy hoping to avoid that outcome.

 

I have wondered how it worked, thought maybe they used a local florists. I appreciate the info posted.

 

It's all about class. You seem to have some. There is allot more class involved with the guy selecting, and having the flowers delivered to a Woman by a reputable florist. It will score you many more points than flowers in a box.
The Fedx guy is cool and all, and yes, unopened flowers will last longer if properly cared for. But you have to know the flower types and what it takes to get to them to open

Yes, I do own Flower Shops among other business'.

If you ever need a recommendation of a flower shop, just let me know the zip code and I'll get a phone number for you.

 

I can never understand why someone would want to give their significant other dead flowers.

 

They're not dead, they're in the process of becoming dead.

 

They're dead.
