The Florist Detectives built this site because we were tired of hearing consumers complain that they were misinformed, mislead or just plain old deceived by some of the more aggressive floral order gatherers.Yes, we are the folks, your local florists, who get to deal with the myriad complaints generated as a result of the overpromising, misleading and lessthanforthcoming claims provided by these notreallyyourlocalflorist types.The seeming unwillingness of national flowerbywire wire services to stop what we believe to be deceptive advertising and fraudulent claims by their some of their order gathering members has inspired us to highlight the pitfalls of believing in oncetrusted national logos.Why would the national companies allow this to happen? We cant say for certain, but we do know that the wire services earn a commission of 7 or more on nearly every order that moves through their networks. Couple that with the 20 commissions earned by these affiliates, and youll see that the real florists doing all the product care, arranging and delivery are left with less than 73 of the arrangement portion of your order. Ordering from a florist direct leaves them out of the loop.The Florist Detectives strive to make the details available on this site as accurate as possible. Information has been checked and rechecked. Please dont hesitate to contact us if you find any factual errors or omissions. We offer this consumer information to the flowerbuying public to assist them with understanding the pitfalls of the current floral wire relay system and to help them learn how to find quality local florists.
