Some years back, the method of sending flowers was through wire or telegram. Through the years, the way of sending flowers through FTD florists has somewhat evolved: one can even place orders through the internet.

How do FTD florists operate?

The consumer goes to a flower shop and orders the flower arrangement of their choice. You pay for the flowers and the service fee, and your order is sent by fax, email or any other form of communication available to the FTD florist in the part of the world your loved one belongs to. The florist that receives your order takes charge of getting the flowers delivered.

FTD florists are also available on the internet. This is the most convenient way to purchase an arrangement of your choice: FTD florist websites show pictures of the types of floral arrangements, gift baskets with teddy bears, gourmet food, balloons and plants that can be ordered. You make your choice, make your payment using your credit card, afterwhich the FTD florist sends you a confirmation of the order you placed. Arrangements for the delivery are then made.

When placing your order with FTD florists there are some things you should know:

Do expect that if you make your choice from the FTD florist’s manual, that your order will not always be perfectly identical to the picture on the catalog.

Always provide the correct contact details of the recipient to avoid delays in delivery. Some FTD florists even call the recipient prior to delivery to ensure that someone is around to accept the delivery.

You may give the FTD florist an “open order” which is paying a certain amount to them, and allowing them to work on your order within that budget. Whenever you give them a certain amount of money to work on, make sure that you give them an amount enough for them to work on a nice arrangement.

Always have a second or third choice available so that you are not disappointed when the FTD florist is out of a particular item that you want.

Allow FTD florists ample time to deliver your order. Orders going to another part of the world need more time than orders that need to be delivered in the next city.

Do not forget to leave your flower with the florist, so that they can contact you in the event any problem regarding your order arises.

FTD florists operate in a similar way; it is best to check however, on the terms of conditions that each FTD florist has before deciding to order with them.
