Shopping for flowers on line is confusing these days. To begin with, there are so many advertisers that appear to be local, but aren't. If there is no local telephone or address, you can be pretty sure they are not a local flower shop.
Once you choose a florist there may be hidden charges. FTD.com, for instance, charges a $13.99 handling fee. Teleflora, 800Flowers, and Proflowers all have significant service charges. Of course, unless your order is going to a local florist, there are also overnight charges associated with your purchase.
This Holiday Season, and always, be sure to compare, not only the price of the product, but all the added costs. You may be surprised at how competitive your local florist actually is.
