The old way of buying Flowers is fast disappearing – remember when you used to stop at a street corner or market and select a bunch from a bucket – remember all that?
These days of yesteryear are nearly all gone as more and more of us go online to browse for search through hundreds of stores offering everything from the humble sunflower to the most exotic gift baskets you have ever seen.
Whether it be to celebrate a newborn, an anniversary, a wedding, in sympathy or even a divorce! whatever the reason or occasion, it can easily be found and purchased with just a couple of taps on the keyboard – but are there any problems? Perceived or real? Of course there are, so here are a couple of tips for you:
1. Shipping: When comparing prices online don’t forget to include the shipping charges. Reducing the price of the product and having high shipping charges is an old ploy often used on EBAY to dupe the prospect into choosing their lower costing item.
2. Returns: Check out their returns policy BEFORE you buy – you may get a shock – they differ widely.
3. Delivery: How long will they take to deliver? You may need these Flowers for a special occasion so do not just assume they will be shipped the next day – some suppliers source from the manufacturer so it could take weeks before they are delivered. Check that the item is actually in stock.
4. Always do a search for a coupon code BEFORE you purchase. I have often been pleasantly surprised to find a valid coupon code just by doing a Google search first. Here is an example of a Teleflora Coupon Code web site: http://telefloracouponcode.com/
Most stores are reputable so do not be afraid to shop online for Flowers just be sensible.
