Here are some of the US prices that are increased:

Dove: $69.95 (Was $59.95)

Also there are some price chages to the split payment, it is now $9 and I believe it was $6 before.

Also I think the Co-Op advertising has gone up.

And the low sending fee is higher now (I think it is $22.95 but not sure).

And also for every order that teleflora has to process, meaning phone orders that you have to report, you will be charged .75 cents. That means EVERY order you recieve will be charged .75 not just ones over the dove.
 
if their going to start charging for non dove orders, then I'm going to start refusing to take phone orders. We already have to pay for sending an incoming orders log over the system. These WS's are making it harder and harder to be members. Kind of makes you wonder if they are'nt on some sort of suicide mission..
 
Just goes to prove that to be on top of the game in this business, you have to be flexible and willing to change.

A while ago, TF was the better option - $$ and service - so that we ended a 55 yr relationship with FTD. Now, TF, by their practises, are forcing us to consider other options. The service is still good, and the rebates more than cover the tech & other fees.

Still ... every increase in fees is a decrease in profits for me.
 
If you refuse the phone order and the florist had a dove and sends it to you that way you will still pay the .75 cents since every order recieved over the dove has a .75 fee added to it already. So teleflora gets their money no matter what.
 
I like the fact TF made the fee increase on Sept 01. They are only increasing the low sending fees for the CAN users...how nice they gave us USer a gift..NOT!

.75 cents PER order charge that is reported via Phone or Dove Log.
Report 20 orders and increase TF profit by 15 dollars per.

Looks like this Blue dude is looking to go DIRECT CC because my business is not BOOMING like TF's.
 
Yes, you do have to pay the .75 no matter what but if you take a phone order and then report it on your incoming orders log you are also paying an addtional .95 for sending in that log...
 
Coin, I quess it's who you talk to?

The guy I had on the phone said the TF US members fees for being punished for not sending enough orders will stay the same for now....:dunno:

Makes you wonder about that very thing, the suicide mission thing.

We should talk JBarb about some other options for your business. We don't punish shops for working hard.
