I took an order from an "Allyson's Flowers" the other day. They said they would pay with a credit card and asked to do a 80 - 20 split. I accepted the order, even though they were asking for quite a large arrangement for the money, but I thought I was helping a fellow florist, so I accepted it.. The next day I got 3 calls from "Allyson's flowers saying that I overcharged there credit card by $3.50 by charging sales tax. I said that they never gave me a sales tax number or did not ask for me not to charge tax. They then told me if I did not refund the sales tax, they would dispute the charge. I found this very curious since they called 3 times and threatened me all for $3.50. I then googled "florists in Mahwah" my town, and sure enough, there was "Allysons Flowers" at the top of the list, saying they were the home town florist.... beware OGs are using credit cards these days!!!
 
So now they will make it difficult for many a florist who has gone ws free with getting their orders filled by florists using this tactic...That is who I feel bad for, so many florists won't take direct orders from florists for the charge back situation and this will just give them justifocation of that practice and make it horribly difficult for the florist trying to help themselves by quitting the ws...such a shame...I still belive the internet is ruining the world, and this is more proof for me...
 
We get these all the time. They've even lied to me outright about being an actual florist so now I always look them up. If you don't have a wire service (we don't), they ask to use a credit card and ask for an 80/20 split.
