Interflora or <insert as appropriate> ?


Recommended Posts

Here's what I have done instead of paying the extra money for Interflora. I can't afford flowers much but on special occasion I thought I would do this.

Google to find the nearest flower shop to the person you want to receive them.

(Google Earth to see if they look like a nice shop if necessary!)

Phone the shop and ask for a delivery and pay them straight into their bank account.

It's worked for me!

Definitely this!

Seasonal flowers, either as a bouquet or a box of cut flowers (not as pretty when they , but a small box has lots of flowers). Long lasting and fresh.


Grown in England, so fewer flower miles. And excellent customer services (when I messed up the order first time round).

I go with the PR plan - find someone local to the receiver. Essentially your local Interflora florist just sends the order to them anyway and takes what? 15-20%? Remove them from the equation and it can go into the actual flowers. I've done this for orders both UK and internationally.


Given how easy that is to do these days I'd say Interflora's day's are numbered..

    • I remember the Tuesday property supplement that must’ve earned them a few bob - all disappeared when right move et cetera put it all online.  I think Southwark news took the stories ( and the readers) that SLP didn’t touch
    • Shame. I wondered why they were asking for donations to help with running costs in last weeks issue. Been buying it for many years but only recently was thinking of giving it a miss as over the past couple of years it had become too politicised. Their South London Opinion page was particularly biased.
