There are a lot of choices, does it really matter which one to use or all they pretty much the same? I want to order today and have them delivered on the 14th.

all pretty much the same except prices.
so basically just price hunt

i go with local flower shops in my town though, cheapest i ever found was about $70, alot for a plant that will be dead in 2 weeks if you ask me but women= money so ya know.

Big national companies are fine for certain occasions, but I like looking up local florists myself and having them deliver.

Here is a good site for looking up local florists.

Local florists also give you more leeway if you want the flowers delivered on a certain day by a certain time.

FTD is running a deal for 18 roses and a box of Godiva for $39.99. They tack on like $17 for "handling", but it's still a pretty good deal.

Whenever I want to send flowers, I usually get on FTD.com and see what they offer, then I look up a local florist (that's FTD affiliated) and call them to order. If you order on the website there's an extra charge, but if you call up the florist you don't have to pay the "convenience fee".

Last year I ordered from them they never showed up. How do you explain to a woman that you ordered flowers but they never showed? Couldn't get anyone on the phone for 4 days afterwards and they never responded to emails. When I finally got someone they sent some half ass apology bouquet for free and offered me $15 off my next order which was a coupon code commonly available on the internet.

I wouldn't order from them again under any condition.

Strange. Every company has its issues I guess...

I've ordered flowers and gifts from ProFlowers for years. Never had a single issue, always on time, always fresh. Never a complaint.
