Thinking of Buying a Flower Shop?, DON’T!
November 17, 2025When customers want to send flowers many times they use a Floral Wire Service like FTD, Teleflora, or 1-800-Flowers—DON”T do this! You should call a Florist directly. You can Google Florists in the zip code you want the flowers to delivered to.
When you order flowers through these Floral Wire Services a percentage of what you spend goes to them! For example: When you order flowers through Teleflora they take about 25% of what you spend to pay for their services; So if you spend $100 the Florist actually only receives $75 to fill your order! Then the Florist is going to deduct for labor and delivery charges which only leaves you with around $50 for your order. Also, the Florist may not have the exact flowers you ordered and they will have to make substitutions.
The BEST solution is to call a Florist direct, like Beverlyhillsflowers.com. Speaking directly to a Florist will give you the information you need and your $100 will go directly to the Florist. The Florist will discuss with you if they have the exact flowers you want to order and if some substitutions need to be made; They can also tell you what the delivery charges will be, and some Florists don’t deduct for labor charges.
At Beverlyhillsflowers.com we are upfront with our customers, give them Full Value for their money, and discuss how we can make a beautiful floral arrangement that the customer will be happy and satisfied with!
