The only thing I can accuse Wesley Berry of is plagarism. Most of the text on their FOL website as well as their delivery fee model I personally wrote back in 2001 which is 2 or 3 years before Wesley Berry even had online presence.
Moreover, since their other money maker websites all ultimately filter into their FOL shopping cart I know that hidden fees can't exist. All FOL shopping carts are on the same template and can not be changed.
Avas flowers also utilizes the FOL shopping cart. Again, no hidden fees can exist.

This is what they state:
"As a member of FTD, we have access to floral shops that have been approved by floral experts. Whether you are sending flowers down the street or out of the area, we can help you do both in compliance with the professional standards set forth by FTD. Our commitment to you is to provide you with the same convenient and professional service that customers who patron our in-house stores have come to expect."
Regarding the Master Florist claim, this is what they write:
"Flower Delivery to [fill in your town and state]. Order Online from a Master florist with fast nationwide delivery service in [fill in your town and state]. A service of Wesley Berry Florist since 1946"
They are not claiming to be the master florist filler but only the master florist service provider. I'm not a Wesley Berry defender but I also don't believe they are deceptive. Yes, at times they may appear in the gray area but I don't believe they have the same deceptive lingo as Urban Florist once had.
Regarding Rhonda's inquiry on no address. I liken that to just plain inexperience as an OG.

a consumer sees this........

I am a certified Master Florist and this entry makes it sound that they are. Purely semantics I agree, but highly deceptive.

This is what I see in your link Rhonda:
"Order Online from a Master florist with fast nationwide delivery service in East Millinocket Maine"
Yes. There's a lot of semantics here that's for sure. But the way it reads to me is that the online patron will be ordering from a Master Online florist who is a service provider for nationwide deliveries.
Having said that, I understand completely with what you are saying as the tag appears in a local search query for your area which sets the context for local only services.
In my opinion, context always rules. So I'm ultimately in agreement with you.

Not a real florist serving a specific area anyway . If you do a search in my zip code (Colorado )they come up as a florist delivering in our entire state . In my experience they are an OG

Totally!
Just have to get bizzy is all...:tread:
Wesley doesn't bother me one bit. I don't see him claiming to be a master florist in other cities, but you can read between the lines if you like I guess. but that claim really isn't there.
I agree with Mac, some are caught up in semantics and thinking someone can or can't say certain things, but, as with any marketing vernacular...
opinions vary
Just get bizzy and good luck with it!
