<p>If you order flower delivery online, chances are that you are placing your order with a middle-man.  And you are paying an unnecessary <strong>middle-man&#8217;s fee</strong>, without realizing it.</p>
<p>For example, when you place your order with a well-known national flower company (the one whose name starts with &#8220;1&#8243;), you will be charged with $13.99.  They call it &#8220;Service Fee&#8221; and you will not see this fee till the very last step of ordering.</p>
<p>This $13.99 is NOT a delivery or &#8220;Shipping &amp; Handling&#8221; fee, which is already included in the merchandise price.  This fee is nothing but a middle-man&#8217;s surcharge.</p>
<p>In fact, there&#8217;s no need to pay this extra fee at all.  How can you avoid this completely unnecessary fee?</p>
<p>Call a local florist in the destination town directly, that&#8217;s how.  Middle-men, including the one that starts with &#8220;1&#8243;, 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&#8217;s surcharge).</p>
