Is Teleflora Skimming?

[FlowerMike]

We received a "Dove" Order from Teleflora National Marketing for 2 dz roses w/ a ton of BB for $129.99 (del 2/14) - we looked on WWW.Teleflora.Com and the same product was $169.99 plus serv chg.
We called in and ask what was up and the not much English speaking guy said he would send a price change. We got the price change...to $134.95 !
No one at Teleflora seems to know what or why this happened. We rejected the order. A friend's shop down the street got a call the next day for the same order for $134.95, they refused it too! The Teleflora person said they knew it was more on the web but they had to do as told.!? The caller had called all the shops in town and just started over looking for a sucker (I Guess)
Has anyone else had this situation?

TF National Marketing covers a lot of sources for orders. It doesn't necessarily mean TF.com - and like FTD and others, I'm sure TF has different price points in different placements.

And the order could have originated from an afilliate too....

And when you ask to many questions, seem they can't find the orginial order where it comes from....
Could be from a gatherer or one of their many web sites which offer different price points.

Check those free TF store fronts

I am going to make a guess and check out the free store fronts tf put up for those florist in the area that does not have a TF hosted web sight. I will bet that some of those free store fronts have that price.

Thats my guess

One other thing...

As I understand it, this order was originally placed a month ago, could it be that it was done before VD pricing went into effect and the sites were changed?
