Best ONLINE FLOWER DELIVERY site?

One time I had a delivery guy try to deliver flowers to my girlfriend Valentine's evening on his way home from work, because they weren't able to deliver them during the day. Um.. right.. you mean I'd gone through the trouble of ordering flowers and not planning on taking her somewhere that evening? Another time, I opted for one of those cards they pitch you. Instead my girlfriend got a little printout that somebody tore out of the printer. That was worth the extra $5 or whatever.

I stick with Proflowers nowadays. They get delivered FedEx, so if FedEx delivers regularly to your gf's place of work it shouldn't have any problems getting there. The flowers are also a higher quality. They're always saying "direct form the grower", and I do find them to me much fresher. And they tend to last quite a bit longer than 1800flowers or FTD's, up to a good 2 weeks. Part of the reason is because (and I don't know if it is just because of the arrangements I got) they include different flowers in different states of bloom.

hmm.. thanks.. i think i'll go with Proflowers.. or maybe Urban Florists because they are located in Santa Monica, where she works... might be fresher/quicker..

I noticed a lot of these places deliver these flowers in a CASE through fEDEX or something.. I want them delivered not in a box but the way they are meant to be.. in a vase or what not.. would you guys know if there a florist available that would do such an act?

hahha... so far.. 10 weeks of going out... cash spent... too much.. =)

about a grand..

1st base.

not bad. hope you make it to 3rd base soon, which shouldn't be too hard once you got to 1st base.

I've done my research and i can't seem to find a general conclusion about what is the best online florist.

1800flowers.com and florists.com seem to be pretty good, but i wanted to get your opinions on which one you think is the best.

Also, do you guys know if they deliver to work places, say the 4th floor? I need it delievered to a specific individual at the office... Would they make sure that she would get it?

flowers.... *sigh*
your gf is lucky. what is the occasion?

It's not his gf yet. he still hasn't been laid by her. Read his previous infamous thread.

proflowers. you can probably find a free code for a vase or shipping or something too. their flowers are always fresh.

1800flowers and FTD do. That's why I went with the originally. But in the end my girlfriend has been much happier with Proflowers.


Since you're in LA..

Hands down, the best place to order arrangements: http://www.marksgarden.net/
People (her coworkers) will recognize their work, and if you want the best there are no alternatives.

Their site kinda sucks, but you'll find no better work. Maybe you will, but they won't have the name or the credentials. It's like getting a necklace that's as good as something from Tiffany. That's nice, but the Tiffany one is nicer because of the name and reputation.
