Whenever I have to send flowers to someone, I look up a local florist and order from them. I don't like paying surcharges, commissions or additional fees to associations or groups (not FTD, but like them) just so they can pocket the extra. I had a bad experience initially with a florist listed as being in Laurel, but it turns out the $62.99 peace lily plant they quoted me wound up being just shy of $90.00. This was with their special of free delivery! Turns out they charged for the bow, the card and some $18. for a "universal floral fee." Wow, what a rip! I told the rep that if she could not honor the original quote, that we were done. She offered to take off $10. so I told her, thanks, but I'll find someone else. I did. I located Seaford Florist. The young lady who took my order was Skyler. She was very nice and I got a nice dish garden with extras (some fresh flowers thrown in) AND a card. The price she quoted was $45. and the delivery fee was very affordable at $7.50. I hope my friend enjoys this small gift. You will get a followup here if this shop falls through, but judging by the reviews, I feel that I made a good choice. Thank you, Skyler. I already feel good about my decision to use...
Read moreIncredible experience with these people. I often order flowers at the last minute from Va for my dad who lives in Greenwood. I've been using a florist from a town north of there and had a hard time getting things ordered and delivered with short turnaround time. Last Friday I looked for a new florist online. I logged onto this website, selected flowers, added a note asking that they call my dad before delivering and then paid online. I was sure i had ordered too late for it to be delivered Sat and planned to call Sat morning to follow up. Instead I got an elated call from my dad Sat morning saying the incredibly beautiful bouquet had already been delivered! He liked that Seaford Florist called him before delivering just as I'd asked and been very friendly and professional. Amazing! I've never made a purchase with less effort. My instructions were followed to a T, all without personal intervention on my end. A fantastic customer service experience. I'll order from here every time from...
Read moreIts no wonder this florist is a 4.5 Star! When we called the florist we explained to the florist clerk that we were from the Baltimore area and unfamiliar with vendors in the Delaware area. Just this morning, we heard a co-worker lost a close member of the family and we wanted to send our condolences in the form of a flower/fruit basket but the service was set for early afternoon. Surely, our chances of the delivery getting there in time would be slim. The clerk not only helped us with our selection but offered to email us when the basket arrived to ensure our co-worker was aware of it's arrival. Nowadays, it's very difficult to reach an actual person on the phone , let alone get THIS type of "old-school customer service". "Thank you"...
