WHY DEAL DIRECT ?

Going direct to the florist that will actually supply and deliver or dispatch your flowers has several key advantages over dealing with one of the numerous National or International Internet Services (commonly known as a Relay (or Network) Services) that blitz the internet, take your order and act as a middleman between you and the florist whilst publishing dubious testimonials to enhance their reputation.

VALUE: Unlike when you deal direct with a real florist, who normally would (or should) inform you of the total cost of relaying your order to another location, an Internet Relay Service does not reveal this cost to you. Of course you won't get the relay cost component from the delivery florist either, as you probably won't even know the name of that florist.

With some well known Internet Relay Services, as much as 35% of your order value may go in COMMISSION / ADMINISTRATION / RELAY FEES to the Relay Service that takes your order. The Relay Service then relays your order on to a local florist in the delivery area for processing with payment generally made to the florist in 30 days minus the (not revealed) commission / administration / relay fee.

ORDERING and PAYING DIRECT, ensures 100% of your order actually goes to the florist providing your order, giving you 100% VALUE FOR MONEY and cutting out this middleman inefficiency and payment delay to the florist.

IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING WHAT YOU ARE GETTING ? Ever see the same display image/s on a host of different Relay Websites? Ask yourself the question, what systems are in place to ensure that the local florist who is providing your order, matches the wonderful display that you are inclined to purchase from a National or International Relay Service, who often has procured the display image from a stock photography collection?

PERSONAL SERVICE, It is much nicer, efficient and quicker to deal directly with the person that will actually be supplying, arranging and delivering your flowers. You can correspond your requirements in far greater detail and be comfortable with the accuracy of your order. UPDATING your order, if needed, is then also possible and you can ensure the florist knows exactly what you require.

DELIVERY: It is so important that your flowers arrive when the recipient is in or are delivered to your specific instructions. By dealing directly to the florist you can find a delivery time or method to suit your requirements thus ensuring maximum impact when your flowers are hand delivered. When dealing direct, your florists can confirm your delivery directly back to you and a few even provide an emailed digital photo.

LAST MINUTE ORDERS: Whether you have forgotten an important date or simply need flowers in a hurry, you will find that florists are very accommodating and if they can deliver the same day, they will. Dealing direct, ensures your order is not being relayed through a middleman creating possible delay, error and less value.

ARE YOU DEALING DIRECT OR DEALING LOCAL?

Many Internet Relay Services have taken to falsely advertising that you are Dealing Direct or you are dealing with a Local Florist.

DON'T BE FOOLED... check the contact street address on the website (if there is one). If you are at a website offering delivery anywhere in Australia with a PO box, say somewhere in Sydney, it is unlikely that you will be Dealing Direct or Dealing Locally with a florist outside the region of the PO box.
