Mrs TP Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The florist on North Cross road sends their own beautiful flowers by post. Also high street shops such as Next and M&S have their own systems. All good.

PeckhamRose Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 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!

camberlou Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Wiggly Wigglers. http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/shop/category.html?activecategory_id=15&-session=shopper:95F1657A0572922412iGFE0C0FC3Seasonal 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).

ruffers Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 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..
