Like a Smile on the Wind, Send Surprise and Delight
To send flowers worldwide is similar to a child's intrigue with things that blow in the wind. The ethereal quality of flowers makes a connection to those child-like feelings of surprise, anticipation, delight. And, like flowers on the wind, we send flowers worldwide through our floral affiliates. Quality and value are guaranteed. The sending guarantee for international orders is within 24 hours of ordering; North American orders can be completed by our staff in same-day or next-day, depending on the time differences.
If you are ready to organize sending your gift and you know how the system works, to avoid the pitfalls of the masses of internet suppliers and #800s, please call us directly for that personalized service or use our local order form for next day delivery, or see our national or international order page.
SEND FLOWER SENTIMENTS WORLDWIDE.....SEND ANYWHERE Tracking software shows that people worldwide-- Singapore, Great Britain, Germany, India, Australia and all over North America --are now coming into this site to send flowers locally, nationally and internationally. Some phone directly to discuss custom design work and others use our direct-order page. WHY USE OUR SERVICE FOR SENDING FLOWERS WORLDWIDE versus hunting around online by yourself? Simple. In our 25th year of business, with loyal corporate and individual customers,you are our priority . And so we did our homework before aligning with floral affiliates because we wanted to be assured that you also would be their priority! Click and punch expediency for worldwide sending does not fit with our creative design and individualized service for our local clients stopping at our storefront so why would we treat international customers differently? You should be aware of skimming --that is, internet ordering sites that don't really exist as businesses beyond that, much like in our own Yellow Pages you can find flower sellers that have 800 numbers that aren't even here. They're a telephone-answering service someplace in the world,probably without a flower in sight and no interest in a leonaidis rose or a pincushion protea!There are dozens of these sites so look for the clues: a US telephone number; no operating address inside the 'about us' or contact info;or a telephone answering system that has no person at the other end and they offer a call-back. Like Bloomex or Pink Lotus as examples.
VANCOUVER CUSTOMERS A good reason to support independent business--those pretty little storefronts that give a bounce to your step when you walk by each night--is that they create ambiance in your Living Space. Florists, perhaps more than any other business in your community, are an integral part of your life as we help you celebrate life occasions. We know when you've been naughty and nice. We see you puffed up at the birth of your child. We applaud the outcome of courtship, and we empathize when those difficult times of illness and death reach your doorstep. In my business I've been privileged by those connections; and honoured to have seen a few diamonds, even before the question got popped! There is common sense in the notion that the shops at street-side create community, and world experts such as Dr. David Suzuki endorse this view. In a 2005 presentation to the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE BC) at the University of British Columbia , he discusssed how to strengthen communities and preserve the environment. Now maybe that seems like a stretch, when all you were out to do was send a gift to someone in New York or Scotland. But consider: local living economy. In an interview in Shared Vision Dr. Suzuki said, " I am livid when I hear people are going elsewhere to shop for things a little cheaper. That's all money that could be infused into our local community to support our local merchants ...we live in a shattered world where people don't recognize that everything we do is connected to everything else. That means whatever we do has consequences. People don't see that. Globalization tends to hide the reality of our interconnection.....and it's not good enough to say that it's too complicated. Everything you do is full of complications and we have to start thinking about it a lot more." PERSONALIZED ATTENTION is sometimes essential. Maybe you don't know what would be appropriate in Japan for a get well, or to a hospital in Guatemala. We will offer advice, you can select something from the sending catalogue,we will place the order for you, and know you have a sending guarantee.Or maybe you've tried the internet yourself.One customer told me she had tried to send flowers to England via the net and came back to me frustrated as the service was closed, no weekend contact and she really didn't know what the outcome would be. She was pleased to have us organize the order for her, and pay the sending fee to a local business.And get a guarantee! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, given the human aspect and multiple relays sometimes,but rarely,unexpected things happen. You only need to talk to one person: ME. And since we've already met in one form or another that's easy. DO IT YOURSELF 24/7 We diligently researched on-line affiliations that would best serve our customers both for North America and for international sending.We cross-compared product quality, pricing and delivery capability.
