Sending Flowers Free?

[FlowerMike]

This site WWW.SENDINGFLOWERSFREE.COM is a shop in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
The site is hosted by Teleflora !
These folks own Altamonte Springs Florist & Longwood Florist here in Florida.
This site was set up by Teleflora as an additional site in a special deal with discounted rates for clearing and no service charges for a certain period ( I think 6 months)
What a deal for them and for Teleflora. Another example of Teleflora selling shops a "membership" and then giving someone else a deal to compete with them.
Has anyone heard of this latest "partership" with Teleflora?

These partnership of sorts have been going on for years now... You should see the most recent deal offered us by FTD. Free everything for 6 Months and $59.00 for a year when the 6 months is up. TF gave "free" computers away to get members. Sometimes we give "Product for free " to gain a new customer.

A page or two into the order process it does say that delivery and tax are not included. There was a link to the tax amount (7%), but I could not find a delivery charge anywhere. I got to the page that you enter your cc# and I stopped. So who knows how much delivery charge they add on afterwards. If it's $9.95 they could easily pass on five bucks and keep five bucks. Not saying they are or will do that. Ya just never know what they sites are really doing. Seems to me that if they were so interested in saving folks money like they state that they would tell up front how much delivery is added on.

I tried it, they added tax and no delivery charge

I wonder what's up with that. The first pic shows no extra delivery charge and the second pic shows there is an added delivery charge. Must be a mistake since Bloomz tried it all the way through and was not charged a delivery charge.

Well the files were too large for the amount allowed for that file type, but anyway it said no added delivery charge on one page and then two more pages into the order it said delivery and tax not included. Who knows?

There is no delivery charge. They get a bigger rebate from Teleflora than most shops & there is no fee to "Dove" the order to them. Also the Website is free. That's how they can do it for free.

It looked to me like that "delivery and sales tax" wording was from the template site, but with nothing filled into the delivery charge column it did not charge it - it was just a label.
