Don't waste your money on flower-order middle-man!

If you order flower delivery online, chances are that you are placing your order with a middle-man.  And you are paying an unnecessary middle-man’s fee, without realizing it.

For example, when you place your order with a well-known national flower company (the one whose name starts with “1″), you will be charged with $13.99.  They call it “Service Fee” and you will not see this fee till the very last step of ordering.

This $13.99 is NOT a delivery or “Shipping & Handling” fee, which is already included in the merchandise price.  This fee is nothing but a middle-man’s surcharge.

In fact, there’s no need to pay this extra fee at all.  How can you avoid this completely unnecessary fee?

Call a local florist in the destination town directly, that’s how.  Middle-men, including the one that starts with “1″, send your order to one of those local florists anyway.  They earn 20% sales commission from the florist in the process (in addition to the middle-man’s surcharge).
