Florist Wire Order Discount Request

[Lady Biker Florist]

While it is nice to know that they use it sometimes for US I keep thinking that $20.71 x 12 = more than $240.00 and I never get back $240 thru out the year when there are problems with orders.. if this fee is like insurance then my premiumns are too high.
Until ftd fixes up the problems with bad florists and the majer OG issues I will continue to feel this 'fee' is unjustified and not used for OUR benefit but to solve problems with ftd.com orders. I believe we need to see an accounting of how this money is used..and remember there are 22,000 florists times this $240. a year (is that really $5 million?)

imho

I agree 100% that this fee we are charged is pretty much a joke. But in the context of this thread I thought it was worth mentioning. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you that in the end the fee is not justified, but if we are going to belong then getting a little is better than nothing in my book.

I feel the same way you do Patty.. just needed to vent I guess.

It is so hard seeing what is happening to this industry.. I was talking to a friend who just sold his Sign making business,, he said with all the new printers he saw the writing on the wall people will no longer need most of his services..
Same is true with us I guess
