Quitting FTD

[Dick Adgate Florist]

We are thinking about getting out of FTD. I know the specifics of quitting have been discussed on this forum before. I could not find the thread in search.Can someone point me in the right direction?

I quit them a few years ago. I wrote the termination letter and sent it certified mail so I could have proof that they received the letter. That's when the fun began. It takes a long time but I have been rid of them for awhile now. Yea...

You'll find the procedure and the closing dates for 'Voluntary Termination' in the Supplement book that is distributed with the Directory. Be prepared for the Retention department to call and try and persuade you to stay.

Find out when the next deadline is. Keep in mind that the codification deadline is not the same as the cancellation deadline. That is their trick number 1. Once you determine the member termination deadline, then document, document, document. Send a certified letter, send a message through mercury, post it on flowerchat. Do everything you can to document that you are done effective (date). Don't take "no" for an answer.

It's the smartest move you'll make. Stay with it and as others have said, document the bee-geebers out of it.

I just quit 800-flowers in april...still in the process actually, but I can guarantee you that I will win with an effective date of April 30 2010 because there is no way in he double hockysticks they can say otherwise...

I sent mt resignation letter, certified mail, I sent out an email with my intentions and my last date of membership to eacharea rep, each dept head, vp and pres...anyone who called me on the phone,I took notes and let them know I would follow up our conversation in email format so that I had record of it....I also asked them to respond in email so that they couldn't say they never got it...I just made sure that all parties knew I was keeping good records of my communications, that way there could be no funny stuff and if there is I will be able to have a leg to stand on...

Good luck in your journey, it may be long, but with preparation and records you will survive and thrive!!!
