America's sweethearts and suitors will spend more than $ 1.9 billion on flowers this Valentine's day, according to an annual survey by the National Federation of sales. Online flowers sellers compete for unexpected holiday with daily specials and sales on a no brainer volumes that include candy and teddy bears. However, in a recent comparison of the major players promise cheap flower delivery, Cheapism.com to mount a negative rating. The local florist may require a little more effort but to show better value for money.

Online or off, sending flowers is a somewhat risky: Bouquet and Valentine Day doesn't do much good when it comes to 15 February. Even the rose petals are drooping and Browning at the edges. These scenarios will appear much more often than you might think in the online site rating service. In a recent study by J.D. Power and Associates a full 15 percent of consumers reported problems with transportation when you buy flowers online, compared with only 7 percent to 5 percent for clothing and shoes. The evaluators also rails against additional fees that appears just before the purchase and the arrangement that hardly resemble the online photos. Review of Teleflora is cheapism tells the story of one case where an order for a dozen long stem roses brought a mixed bouquet of carnations, lilies and roses only three.

Certainly the local flower shop are not beyond reproach, especially on one of its busiest days of the year. They may suggest a bouquet of flowers around the available inventory, suggest the best flowers for the price and be held accountable if the agreement does not meet expectations. They can even charge less than the online flower retailers. Comparison of the price of a standard Cheapism, Valentine's day delivery of red roses and came up with an estimate of about $ 50 for delivery by local flower vs. $ 59 to $ 86 online. It is based on a quote from a flower shop in New York City and California--hardly cheap markets – and the input from the society of American Florists, the national trade association of the industry. Savings through four pages of the main flower in the range from 15 to 40 percent.

Course prices vary depending on location and the flowers you choose and can be lower online. But even then, how FTD Cheapism's Review explains, the floral delivery sites often rely on local flowers for the fulfilment of the order. Directly contact your local store, you can cut out all the fees, which could translate into a mediator and wind up with a better bouquet at the same price. A search on Google maps or Yelp should also lead to a flower shop near the intended recipient. You can also try the society of American Florists national florist directory.

The convenience of online ordering if it remains too attractive to resist, ProFlowers, tops the list of dealers online florist in the J.D. Power and Associates ' report on customer satisfaction. ProFlowers is cheapism review also found that the site makes on slightly better feedback than the competition. Be sure to note that the bouquet will probably arrive in a box via FedEx--perhaps not the bow you are hoping to organize.
