I was just speaking with a business acquaintance from another town. She works for a company that has an affiliate link to order FTD flowers and get 15% off.
She said that she was on FTD.com and choosing a bouquet then remembered about the affliliate link. She clicked on the link and found the bouquet again. Instead of being 15% the FTD price, the "as shown" prices had been raised 15% then when she was given her 15% discount it brought the flowers back to the original amount. Anyone else heard about this? We are not FTD so I didn't check it out...
To make matters worse, she was sending to a town neighboring ours. (We do not deliver there.... maybe we should!) I told her she should call a florist there directly. GET THIS: She wanted to spend around $35 (plus delivery, I believe) and had seen some vased arrangements she liked on FTD.com. The local florists told her that all she could get for that price was a small mug. They needed her to place her order within the next 5 minutes to get it delivered to the hospital. Then, they told her if she wanted something larger for that price, SHE NEEDED TO ORDER FROM AN ONLINE FLORIST.
WHAT!?!?!?
I don't even know what to say to these florists. One I know well and will call, the other is pretty much a filler. Should I call them?
