Today I received an order from FTD HQ. They gave me a CC# to fill the order the order. When I inquired about discounting the order she told me to process the order for the given amount.

Is this normal procedure?

thanks Joe
 
That my freinds tells me they took care of hteir own discount....

I forgot to mention, I asked the FTD rep why they were not running the order through my FTD member shop. Her answer was this is the phone number they gave me. So she then asks me if I want to run it through that shop's FTD membership number.

I said no.
 
Yo Joe

Product?? Amount given??

Interesting that they did not want to run it thru your other shop and collect their 7%...

Tells me it probably was a FTD.com generated order, thus they all the money anyway....
 
Ftd - Stands For Quality?

AND THEIR DATA BASE IS REALLY TOPS!
Got an order from them a couple days ago for a funeral piece! Order came in about 10AM ...Service starts at 1PM in a town 50 miles away. Had to call and tell them there was a MERCUY EQUIPPED SHOP ONLY 2 OR 3 BLOCKS FROM THE FUNERAL HOME!!! Sent ask for $100.00 delivery charge, got the cancellation 2 hours after the funeral. So much for FTD's super technology and their outstandingly trained staff!
 
FTD called us earlier this week to say that a shop in Miami was claiming that we had not paid them for an order which we had sent them in May. An order sent FTD and we hadn't paid for it???? What happened to incoming orders being reported and the sending florist paying via statement?? We were running hard in the shop, I had my hands full of invoices, the shrink wrap was running dangerously low with several fruit baskets to make, it was the week before Chirstmas, and someone calls about something like that? I was stunned speechless for a moment or two, then asked the FTD person to call me next week when I would have more time to figure out what she was talking about. (Pardon the preposition at the end of that sentence...no time or much inclination to repair the grammar.)

Funeral Easel, $80.00. No FTD xx-xxx number. I know what you are thinking.
The FTD rep was reading straight from her order.
