Here’s a tip when ordering flowers. Just do a search for a florist in the town, and zip code the recipient i.e. “florist in Macon, GA 12345.” When you call the florist, be sure to ask if it’s a free standing florist shop, and not a toll free “order gatherer.” To make double sure, you can ask to speak to a floral designer to help you make an arrangement or plant selection. Also, be careful if you’re ordering online, be certain you're ordering from the site of an actual “brick and mortar” floral shop.
Toll free “order gatherers” are a middle man. They take your order, and take their cut (usually a sizeable amount) before forwarding it to an actual floral shop. For example, if want to spend a total of $45 for an arrangement, the “order gatherer” will subtract $15 for their fee, and only send the floral shop $30 to work with. They don’t tell customers they’re an order gatherer and taking a hefty chunk of their cash.
You’ll get much more for your money, and have a much nicer floral arrangement if you deal directly with a florist shop.
