I still use either Next or Marks and Spencers to send flowers to the UK, or you can use interflora. All can be done over the internet if you have a credit card. HTH.

Actually, Interflora charge much more than a local florist would. Look up her local one and order direct over the phone - no waiting, no fuss. Save yourself a bob or two.

Sending flowers Interflora is a total ripoff!!! I used to be a florist and they take so much money from the order leaving hardly anything left for the flowers......My advise and its also what I do, is to find a florist which is local to the person you sending flowers to and phone the order over yourself....you'll get a better deal. Just get the local number from Yellow Pages on line

Hope this helps

Hi denise,, i usually phone a local uk flower company where i lived and do it with a credit card over the phone, it is much easier,all they do is get you to phone them back around 10 mins after the order to make sure the transaction has gone through........simple as that..........ask 1 of the family for a local uk florist no or do a search on the net,hope this helps, i have done it many times.jan hutchinson

My sister lives in America and has used John Lewis online many times for sending the family flowers.

its plugging my own company, but if they like arranging flowers themselves, look at

www.bloomen.com

Its our company website, but you get a lot more value for money than interflora. (guaranteed)

When I actually get my visa, I will recommend that we advertise on this site, but it might be a little bit early yet

Most local (Australian) florists that I have seen are affiliated with Interflora anyway.

Talk to Sue or Paul and they can probably sort out proper advertising on the site.

Yes, they are, but if you ring them direct and cut out Interflora, you get more for your money.

There are a few florists listed here: http://www.cruxaustralis.com/gifts-flowers/flowers/ ... personally, I agree about the comments made in respect of Interflora. I have used flowers.com.au - a couple of years ago now - and was very happy (or my mother was!)

Just looked at the international prices for flowers.com.au ... seems a bit high but not so bad I suppose when I convert into pounds. I would look at some UK sites for comparison.
