    I personally believe that sending flowers online is quite feasible though it costs a little extra but you can do it at your own ease and rest assured your flowers will be delivered to your loved ones worldwide. And its not always that the florists are given less profit not atleast from Flora2000.

    Laura: I talk about this in my lens about ordering arrangements. You must have missed that. Ordering on line from one of these sites will always get you less for your money. These companies merely send your order on to a shop in the town you are ordering for and that shop fills the order, but only after fees are taken out. And, that local shop that works so hard every day only gets a very small profit as the order-taking company syphons off profits. You could have contacted the same shop or another directly and bypassed the middle man. Plus the specialists at the shop would have advised you on what they have available that is fresh and beautiful. They wouldn't be trying to copy the picture that you chose and using what they could find to make it work. The people who answer the phones at the big companies usually don't know much about flowers. They are order-takers in a phone bank. I'm a long-time professional florist and this is not my opinion. It is fact. Nancy
