Best Places to Order Flowers Online
No matter the occasion, few gifts have the same effect that flowers do on the recipient. Whether in celebration of a holiday or personal milestone or as a way of saying sorry, flowers are a traditional and tasteful gift that never go out of style. With the ever-expanding online marketplace, ordering flowers is simply a click away, and the competition from multiple flower vendors has translated into savings for the customer.
1-800-Flowers.com
Perhaps the most well known of the online florists, 1-800-Flowers originated as a company specializing in taking flower orders over the phone. The company has since transitioned smoothly to the online marketplace.
1-800-Flowers.com is arguably the gold standard for online florists, with the best combination of selection, customer service and price. The site is easy to use, and guidance and advice are available. It also offers convenient same-day delivery for those last-minute flower orders. Additionally, 1-800-Flowers often runs special promotions offering savings on specific arrangements and shipping options.
FTD.com
FTD.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Florists' Transworld Delivery, Inc, which is one of the largest floral companies in the world. Founded in 1910, FTD now sells flowers and floral arrangements directly to consumers through its website.
FTD also provides customers with an excellent combination of selection, price and service. Its website is easy to navigate and includes special sections for specific holiday flower arrangements. FTD.com was also rated a gold-star flower-delivery website, according to starreviews.com.
GrowerFlowers.com
GrowerFlowers.com is a more budget-conscious online florist, with reasonable pricing to go along with good selection. While its website is not as intuitive or flashy as other online florists, GrowerFlowers.com does offer same-day delivery, as well as the option to include a color photo along with any arrangement and greeting card.
ProFlowers.com
Another online florist with some inexpensive arrangements, ProFlowers.com also offers free shipping for a select number of items. While same-day delivery is available for some arrangements, there is less customization of your order available with this option than on other sites. Proflowers.com does provide good customer service, and its site includes floral tips and advice for shoppers.
Teleflora.com
Teleflora offers a wide variety of different arrangements for any occasion, and its website also includes several informative flower guides as well as gift advice for shoppers. Its arrangements tend to run more expensive than the competitors. What sets Teleflora.com apart is that every gift or arrangement includes a vase and is designed by a local florist from the recipient's neighborhood.
