Well, they just had to tick me off!! Thyroid been on the roller coater ride from 3 times too high to now 10 times too low and that really fools with your emotions, I cried cause Mr. Whipple died. But Teleflora just couldn't leave well enough alone.

Someone from headquarters calls yesterday to see if I can fill this order

http://www.teleflora.com/product.asp?id=193197

just as proud as punch that she had $32 instead of the $29.99. I probably could have, if I were to get the full value not 73% of it and forgot about our $8.95 delivery fee.

But that wasn't what pi...ahhh....ticked me off so badly. Every holiday they ask us to buy their exhorbantly priced containers and then fill the web with items like these. I had a bunch of their containers left from last year for that very reason, but let some smooth talking seller talk me into a mixed pack. I just told her I didn't have the container and hit the other line and called Teleflora customer service to issue a pick up on all my containers.

Through playing their games. Had quit other holidays long ago and only Christmas and Mother's Day were left, not sure about Mother's day now, but Christmas no more.

Carrieann, I see a red container with red minis, white cushions, red berries, and greens.
 
Very Hard To Understand

What Teleflora is doing is very hard to understand. They come out every year with their Branded Holiday products and then in the 3rd qtr they come out with all their Christmas web designs. All this does is water down the demand for their Branded products and makes not buying their Branded product line much easier for florists. Why would you water down your own sales?

And as a florist, why buy Branded products that have less and less sales appeal because the very company is promoting items of usually lower pricing and without the worry of being stuck with an item that didn't have a complete sell thru.
 
I have to say, I was never a big fan of the WS containers. Some have been good sellers but most it is a chore to move. I was never in a market that went for knick knacky types of things.

My tune is changing here in Melrose. I reluctantly bought a 3 pk of the radko tree. I am currently sold out. I know the Kinkade items sell very good have no fear that I will sell all 12 of them. Ice crystals has also caught peoples attention..

I got requests for the silly pumpkins at TG. An item I did not buy into....

It really depends on your market if these items will sell or not....
 
Will TF buy back unused containers like 1800? I know we're going to have leftovers and I tried talking them out of buying them, they're just too darn expensive.

Yeah they will buyback any unopened packages and will gladly take a 20% restocking fee.....Not worth it in the long run....better to refrain from buying in the first place...
