Best Place to Order Flowers Online

February 1, 2010
With almost 20,000 florist shops in the US, it can be daunting to decide where to order flowers online. Most florists are connected to one of the florist organizations like FTD or Teleflora, making it easy to find the florists near you and what they offer on these websites. The prices are competitive with what you will find at the shop, although it’s important to check for any service fees added at the end of your order. Use the following destinations for all of your last-minute flower orders, no matter what the occasion.
1-800-Flowers.com

Why it's best: The 1-800 Flowers people are really easy to deal with. The website is a breeze to use, and it’s also simple to place a phone order once you’ve found what you like online. There is a hefty $14.99 service fee on most orders, although there are occasionally coupon codes to bypass the fee, and special promotions that waive the fee. This site offers plenty of variety in flowers, baskets, and gift items, and the Martha Stewart collection of floral arrangements and baskets are great values. Read Full Review

 teleflora.com

Why it's best: Teleflora has a well-rounded offering of flowers and is more focused on strictly flowers than other sites (although it does offer a few gift baskets for the lazy gift giver). The prices for some of their larger arrangements are very reasonable with plenty of the deluxe arrangements available for under $40. Telefora also has a whole section of guides to help you find your special someone’s birth month flower, zodiac flower and the symbolism behind different flowers and colors. But keep in mind there is a $14.99 service fee on most flower orders (even that clearance bouquet you just found). Read Full Review

 FTD.com

Why it's best: FTD is the largest floral delivery website and a wide range of flowers, baskets, plants and gifts. The site is organized both by occasion and flower, and you can also choose your price range to help narrow the search. There are plenty of extras on the FTD website, like Dean and Deluca gifts and the Vera Wang collection of flowers, although her picks do seem a bit overpriced. This site is perfect for someone who wants the most selection and variety, and has a budget of over $40 to spend. The site usually offers a $15 coupon that basically eliminates the service fee on flower orders. Read Full Review

ProFlowers.com

Why it's best: This website is another great choice for finding the perfect flower arrangement online. It has a wide variety of fresh-cut flowers from roses to orchids and a deep selection of plants and potted plants as well. The service fee ranges from $9.99 to $14.99 for flower orders. ProFlowers also has some of the best values for roses, and there are plenty of beautiful arrangements for $20 to $30. The Flower of the Month Club is a good gift for the flower lover.

KaBloom.com

Why it's best: KaBloom ships flowers in water for even fresher overnight delivery. Their best values are in roses and seasonal bouquets. The website is easy to browse for inspiration whether it is an English Countryside bouquet or spa gift sets from Melt. The retailer guarantees same day delivery as long as you order by 2 pm (noon on Saturdays). Read Full Review

Used FTD to have flowers delivered for an anniversary 3 days ago. Not only did they not deliver the flowers but also sent a confirmation email on the delivery. What a rip off these buggers are. When I called the customer care, they said its too late to contact the delivery guy. They would however deliver it the next day with an apology note. I wonder who...
