Ordering Flowers
Here on the Florist Exchange website you can search for a florist in your required delivery area, choose and contact the florist-direct and place your order. Send beautiful flowers, bouquets and gifts to your loved ones without having to go to your local florist and use the expensive relay companies.
How do I order?
Start by selecting a country, then select the county and finally type in either the town or postcode where you would like to contact a florist. You will then be provided with a selection of florist profiles you can view and choose from, you will be given their direct contact numbers and you wont have to pay any relay charges. With Florist Exchange you get to cut out the middleman and get the privilege of speaking to the florist yourself, making sure you get good value for money and get exactly what it is you have ordered.
What next?
The florist will guide you through your order and make it as simple as ordering flowers on the high street! You will get to discuss what flowers and colours you would like to send and add your choice of ribbons, wraps and card message. Dealing directly with the florist allows you to choose exactly what you want, when you want it and gives you the confidence that your order will be executed without the delays or mistakes made in the transaction of orders between florists and relay companies.
Other details you may wish to discuss with the florist include, delivery times available, correct spelling of names and places, costs, and card messages, don't forget to ask for kisses on your card message if you want them. Always ask the florist to repeat the order when you have finished if there is a mistake it can be fixed before your gift is sent.
Finally ask how you are going to be able to pay for the order, most florists will take credit and debit cards, those who don't may allow you to pay in advance for orders by cheque.
