Flower & Gift Price Inflation Exposed By WrappedFlowers.com!

Aug. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Who are we?

We are an Independent Florist tired of all the Wire Services such as FTD, Teleflora, and 1-800-Flowers. We have created a Florist Directory that lists over 30,000 florists in the United States and Canada.


Flower Services such as Teleflora, FTD and 1800flowers have high membership fees, low sending fees, product fees, processing your order fees, transmission fees, just to name a few. On average Florists in the United States lose between 20-38% on the orders they fill and deliver for these wire services! To compound that problem, they do not include the sales tax collected, when you place your order through these services. The wire services withhold a minimum of 20% from your order and charge you an extra fee of usually around $19.00 just for taking your order. If you read the fine print on their websites, you can see that, you are being charged for these fees.

What do we do?

We will be listing Florists in all the cities that these wire services serve. We want you to be able to deal with another real florist and not spend extra on a service that is truly obsolete. These Wire Services makes their money by being a order gatherer, and basically forcing  all their florists members to accept their terms, fees, and products. All of these members pay for the National Advertising, yet the ads promote the Wire Services Brand so they can collect the majority of the ad money.


What we hope you do?

Until I have a complete listing of all the Florists in the United States I hope you will do a Google Search and find a Real Local Florist to place your Floral order with. When you find what you believe is a Real Florist in the City you are searching for please ask what city are they located in before you place your order. Why? because there are many people as well as these wire service spamming the local directories and web claiming to be a local florist in the city you're searching for.  If they can't answer you r question, hang-up and go to the next site, or listing. When you reach a real Florist in the city you were searching for tell them you are calling them to order directly from them and will you get a discount for ordering directly from them. They should give you approximately 20% or more off their advertised prices on the internet. Please let the Florist know where you found their information on WrappedFlowers.com and our mission to help the local florists and to save the consumer money helped you in making your decision to choose the florist you selected.

Sincerely,
Robert Ochoa
