FTD 9% clearing house fee!!

back to the OP. I am in TF and FTD and i get 7% clearinghouse fee. I would contact member services and ask them why you are flagged for 9%. It may just be an "accident" and they will revert that immediately. If the 9% assessment is valid you should ask why and what you can do to change it. You may just be screwed or you may be able to get it reduced easily, but its worth a phone call to find out. If that 9% is the straw that broke the camel's back, you should contact your other WS and tell them you are thinking of dropping FTD, and see what they will offer you.

lemme rephrase that: You should contact the other WS's and explain that you are going to drop ONE wire service. Then ask them why you should keep them around.
 
Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of orders are placed with WS and OG each years.
ONLY because florists continue to allow the practice by filling these same orders. If florists refused to fill for the ws/og then these orders would go back to being originated via local florists as they were not all that long ago.

And I disagree Rick, you (and others) are "enabling", yes I know your marketing tactics work, but only to a point.
 
Sandie is currently on a conference call with FTD HQ, regarding pricing structures, the depleted members, and the major issues why shops are dropping out,and why their "offers" are NOT resonating at the ground level......interestingly, they called us......we have "forced" the issues, with ONLY one outcome being available.....
 
I had a lovely chat with them back the end of Feb.

I know it didn't change a thing.
one initiative is rolling out....the "confirmation reminder".....
