Overnight Flowers vs. Florist Delivery
|
| Two Great Ways to Send Your Best with Flowers |
|
|
Today, there are two great ways to send flowers. Both have several important
advantages and a few disadvantages, too. Which one's right for you may depend
largely on the occasion, timing, and delivery destination. Here's why.
|
| |
Flowers Shipped Direct |
|
With technological advances in order processing, packaging, and overnight
shipping, the popularity of direct-shipped flowers has blossomed in recent
years. It's no surprise! Beautiful fresh blooms shipped from select growers and
importers are delivered next-day by courier throughout the continental USA and
Canada, offering improved quality, freshness, delivery tracking, and savings.
The bargains are impressive, and the flowers often last longer than those from
traditional channels, because they reach the recipient faster from the grower.
No wonder discriminating flower lovers are flocking to a handful of leading
direct-ship flower sites. They understand the value of sending fresher flowers,
picked and shipped at their peak, and express delivered nationwide.

Florist Delivered Flowers |
|
Yet, despite the growing popularity of flowers shipped direct, the majority of
fresh flower gifts sent in the U.S. and Canada are still locally designed and
delivered by professional florists. Why? While florist delivered bouquets may
be priced somewhat higher, savvy shoppers recognize other important advantages.
Florists specialize in arranging beautiful flowers in attractive designs for a
more "finished" gift that's ready to be displayed on arrival. They offer
same-day and next-day delivery, and they can more readily schedule local
redelivery if a recipient is away from home or out of the office. In addition,
florists typically offer a broader selection of bouquets, plants, and gift
baskets, with more personal service and local delivery, so their flower
creations go right from the flower shop to the recipient's door.

How To Choose |
|
For same-day and next-day delivery of a complete arrangement, florist delivery
is your best option. So, it's no surprise that experienced flower senders turn
to florists for most floral gifts to the workplace, hospitals, and funeral
homes. Florist delivery is available Monday through Saturday and is best for
most international deliveries, too. On the other hand, if you simply want the
freshest flowers, the best value, and don't need it there today, send flowers
direct by overnight air. Direct ship deliveries are typically scheduled for
Tuesday through Saturday, and the recipient will have to arrange the flowers,
but they offer exceptional quality and freshness at a bargain price.
