Can anyone recommend me a flower delivery service? Hello! I am looking to have flowers delivered to my girlfriend and would like some recommendations for a flower...

Tip from a ex-florist. Don’t order online and don’t let anyone know you won’t see the flowers in person. Some shops get guilty of sending out less than stellar work in these situations. Call and talk to someone in person. Always ask what they have that is fresh and beautiful. Describe what your girlfriend likes and be flexible to get better pricing and style. Build a repot and you will get better service as well. If you will order again in the future let them know they will work to keep your business. Almost 100% of shops take card payment by phone. My personal choice is Sammy’s Flowers on West Burnside

Call a local florist near where you want them delivered. Never use a website or service. Trick is to find something you like online, but call a local florist and let them know so they know what you are looking for. But because you called you will get at least 100% increase in value for your money. The wire services and website middlemen gouge the florists unbelievably. I help business consult with a florist and the gouging that gets done to them is criminal. You put $100 order with FTD partner florist website...lucky if the filling florist actually gets more than $40 of that after all the commissions and fees they charge the florist for.
If you do go online despite my advice at least avoid Wesley Berry like the fucking plague...
