I recieved an order for the lovely martini arrangement from 800 flowers through teleflora. I refused it as we do not do that arrangement. They sent it to me again the following day. I refused it again. Two days later Blooms usa called the order to me and I told them we do not work for them as they run ads in our phone book. Then the person called me directly to place the order because they told her no one would fill her order in our town. She looked at our web site and picked out an arrangement. I got the order for full value and a new customer. My question is. Is blooms usa 800 flowers.com? I looked at their website and they have lots of 800 flower.coms arrangements.

They are a member of 800-flowers and they skim....I have had very bad experiences with them and have first hand knowledge that they take extra money from the money they collect for the filling florist...I have reported them to 800-flowers and do not take their orders anymore..

Nope....
BloomsUSA is simply another name for FlowersSentToday out of Vienna VA, part of the Karen's family of websites...
They picked up 800Flowers as one of their wire services, probably because 1)they were having issues getting orders out via FTD as they had become known to most members, then went to TF likely for the same reason and rebates. 2) now, most likely they are getting an even bigger rebate from 800Flowers as they go out and buy orders to fill their network.
Funny thing is though, judging by my directory (3 wire service cross reference) most 800F members are also members of at least one of the BIG2 if not both. So it's probably (hopefully) just a matter of time before their orders never find a home.
