Please Google www.plantrex.com it appears that it is also called Amys, and it says they are in Ohio, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Orange County CA.Also check out this website www.abps.net It is a site exposing bad guys and Plantrex is listed on the bad guy list just below the Locate a FlowerShop logo.There's something odd about this place. Perhaps they can enlighten us on the Google results...

Welcome to our little place on the web,

I didn't really see that there was anything weird about the plantrex shop....They are a florist and they are marketing on the web the way they should(I think), we all should be after any order we can get if that is what our business needs and we feel that we can service them better than a broker.....The other site was the weird one...well not weird, but getting past all the rhetoric and rudeness in advertising was difficult to say the least, all those words and it was so outdated...I know what many will think how can I talk when I have a WS site, but all those words and garrish colors..I couldn't find wither thing that you refered to on either site because of all the words...

Maybe plantrex can explain why this other florist might think they are a bad guy....

because they used to show up in a local search for my town. I've googled today to see if it showed up - didn't but I withhold voting on this because I also have a bad feeling about the names....
yes this is the same "florist" that used to pop up especially during holidays on searches for delivering in my town.

look to the right - servicing Alberta

I tried to check them out also and found the site somewhat strange....I may have missed it but didn't see an actual physical address & exact same wording as above about "head designer"....think I'll reserve judgement until we get more info.
They also have a listing for Allyson's Flowers & Gift Baskets at the same address listed for Amy's. 802 Sharon Dr, Westlake, Oh with same info on owner, head designer ect, but different phone so...?

 

[lil_goldie]

I'm undecided. In their description, they talk about how they are a real florist sending orders to other real florists.
I googled them and found a listing for hamilton, ontario.....

 

[lori042499]

Well I guess we will have to see what they have to say at a later point...They are now a registered user, I know I didn't vote, still not 100% sure if they are a real shop or a broker...

[CarverFlowers]

I was just noodling around on Yahoo! and did a "checkup" search for my shop. I entered "florist Carver MN" in the search box, and guess what turned up? The second entry listed (after JustFlowers.com) was:
Amy's Flower Shop - Serving Carver, MN.
Get your flowers arranged and delivered by a local florist.
www.plantrex.com

WTH?????!!!!!!!
