More flowers are delivered in Atlanta everyday than anywhere else in the United States. You’ll find a Florist in every nook and corner of the city, besides the endless choices available on the Internet. How then do you separate the wheat from the chaff?? To find a florist who will fit the bill you may have to do quiet a bit of Research. Recent reports and websites like floristdetective.com have only gone to show the extent to which people are being exploited by these so-called ‘florists’, and no where are these ‘scams’ higher than they are in Atlanta. You should consult with friends and family members before settling with a certain florist.
Most Atlanta florists have discount policies in place so you would do well to ask them what discounts they are offering. Also try to eliminate the middlemen, its best to buy flowers from the growers themselves. However here too you need to be cautious as many growers advertise as though they are located in and around Atlanta but are actually located as far away as Canada and you end up paying international surcharge on your delivery. Also, many buyers have been disappointed with the quality of flowers they receive as they look distinctly different from what’s on the website.
There’s no way of being absolutely secure from this situation. Your best bet is to tie up with a good local Florist who offers flowers at a reasonable price. In such a case at least you know where to go if things go wrong instead of going through endless IVR’s to be hung up on in the end. Why trust the guy behind the computer who doesn’t know one flower from the other when it would be just as easy to walk up to a real Florist and actually see the Flowers you are going to get delivered.
Lastly remember to ask your Florist to give you an itemized billing and be especially wary of ‘special charges’, ‘surcharge’, international surcharge’ because these are indications of a middleman being involved. Also just because Florists has ‘Atlanta’ preceding or suffixed to their names does not mean they are working from Atlanta!
