Got a call from a florist Sat late afternoon, who is FTD only. THey told me to be prepared that I would be getting a order Monday for yada yada yada. That has to be delivered MOndayAM. THey said they could not have reach domestic retrans to get this order sent to me on Sat since they said it was closed. ( They usually send it to Montreal Retrans office first, they then send it to the US HQ and then they phone the order out to me). Monday I did my work and sent the order in. By late Monday afternoon, I still hadnt received the call so I calle dthe florist. THe owner was not in and I had to wait till tues. I phone her and she said she was going to check up on this. SHe phone me back after she phone FTD HQ, and found that they used the other flower shop in my town. SO the recepient received 2 orders. At this point I offered her to call me direct from now on so this not happen again. SHe was apologotic and said to bill her for the order which I did.
So now I know they deal with the other florist.
On Wed. I get a call after the other florist is closed from Internation FTD Retrans office asking me to fill a order. I find out what they want and they give me a price of xxx. I thank Mikey and this board for what I did after. I said are you sure that is the correct amount. Knowing about the 6 fleurin they take out, I said I should be getting xxx. Let me check, she said, and while she checks, she says the ink on her copies are not clear. Again freaking Bull Whip from them. Bold face liars they are......Got caught again. Got what I was asking for and I am glad I was in the driving seat. Now I need to have a heart to heart talk witht he other florist in town.
In the last wek I managed to have good talks with three other florists in the area and wake them up to what is happenig in this industry.
Some again where totally clueless.
Driving forward to make it happen for the little person.
