This is an excerpt from the President of Bloomen, sent to us yesterday...thought you all might be interested.

"The competition for online sales has intensified. A company based in India is positioning itself as a "local" florist in all major cities across the U.S. and Canada. This company operates two web sites, www.citycenterflowers.com and www.flora2000.com. They use a FedEx-based grower-direct model for their citycentrlowers.com site and we believe they use Teleflora to fulfill orders from their flora2000.com site. We have contacted Teleflora and the major search engines (i.e. Google), but as yet have had no response..."
 
The Funeral Homes are Gunna LOVE THIS!

Yeper! just like those PROFLOWER folks...send a box to XYZ Funeral Home and let the folks in the Flower Room just PLOP AND DROP! sure looks good next to DAD!.

Oh how come it does not look like the Picture???????? Dang V good job in that detective work!.
 
I sure had some fun with them using their live chat feature. I spent a half hour asking them for a Guarantee of "Action" getting more and more graphic with what I expected as a reaction from my floral gift until the guy finally "hung up" on me.
It was great fun, I was rolling off my chair knowing I was talking to someone in India who didn't even know what giving flowers was about (sex?).

Try it, it's great fun! Just use their live chat button and fire away!
 
I am glad they don't have Elliot lake as a florist they deliver in Ontario. I know when pro flowers send here, it takes 2 days for it to reach here.
Flowers are half dead then....nice way to send it when that is for a funeral.

I'm going to post the chat session I had with them, it was fun tho a little "off color" so if offended - dont read it!

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Shree'
Shree: hello
you: do your flowers come with a guarantee?
Shree: what kind of guarantee?
you: I mean what I am asking is will they do what I need them to do?
you: a guarantee of a good response from a lady
you: are you there?

Shree: one moment please
Shree: we will try our best to deliver upto your expectations
Shree: however, you may read our terms and conditions before you place your order
you: I'm getting very desperate
you: I mean, will they do what I need them to do?
you: I understand the flowers will be nice but I dont' want the flowers, I want the response
Shree: what do you want whom to do?
you: the flowers aren't for me, the response is
Shree: whose response?
you: I'm very lonely and very horny
you: the womans
you: lonely and horny
you: I have decided to try flowers
Shree: do you mean the response from the recepient?
you: yes
Shree: to you?
you: yes
you: I mean is it going to melt her heart?
you: and make her do what I wish her to do?
Shree: yes. as mentioned earlier to you, we will try our best to deliver really good quality....

you: but do you guarantee a good response

Shree: please be advised that your computer's i.p. address is registered with us
you: I do everything I can myself but I really need the help of a lady
you: what does that mean?
you: that's quite ok with me I am not shy about this condition
Shree: it means that we have details of your location etc. with us. kindly refrain from using unappropriate language
you: what is inappropriate?
Shree: also, all our chats are recorded
you: and?
you: so what's your point?
Shree: if you continue using the kind of language you have been using, this chat may be terminated
you: what language? nuts?
Shree: is there anything else i can help you with?
you: I think you can't guarantee your flowers and are looking for an excuse
you: is there anything else I can help you with?
Shree: we do not believe in repeating our promises to our customers repeatedly. kindly refer to our previous assurance of quality.
you: not very good customer service is it?
you: you never answered my question
Shree: i have answered your question very appropriately, as to getting a good response from the recepient is concerned
you: I must have missed the answer
you: will they get me laid?
you: you do understand laid?
Shree: this is the kind of language i was referring to...
you: I mean, sexual favors
Shree: have a nice day....and good luck

HAHAHA Bloomzie. You know Bloomzie, we should see how many Online Site assistants there are working there, and basically ask them similar type questions, and drive them crazy.

There's a site in Russia where you can get mail order brides and place flower orders at the same time, have to go find the URL again. haha! You might get lucky there. hahaah!
