Have you ever seen an advertisement for discounted floral arrangements by a wire service or 1-800 group?

Have you ever received flowers in a box delivered by FedEx/UPS?

Do you really know your florist/floral shop?

 When Earth & Sky creates your floral design, our floral designers bring into being an arrangement of flowers with your needs in mind - color, shape, symmetry, budget, customization, and quality.

When you visit us in person or call us by phone, we will tell you what flowers are seasonally available, what we will be able to provide, and besides you'll be helping a local small business.

Earth & Sky is trustworthy, a better value, and we will always offer high quality floral designs.

Tips to Avoid Being Fooled by Flower Order Gatherers

• Check the Home and About Us pages for the physical address of the business.
• Ask 'What is Your Address?' when you call on the phone. If they decline to provide it, consider calling another florist.
• Check the Contact Us page for a local phone number.  It should match the area code of the location to where your flowers are being delivered. If the contact information consists of an email address only, be suspicious.
• Call the local phone number. If it is answered 'Flower Shop' without providing the name of the florist, ask which shop you've called. If they provide a different answer than the one you've dialed, you may have reached a gatherer/broker.
• On the phone, ask for the business' location and driving directions. If they fail to provide these details, consider calling a different florist.
• Ask the florist to itemize all charges. Be especially cautious about companies that charge relay fees, same-day fees, service fees, shipping fees and handling fees.  Local florists generally charge for delivery, but the other surcharges are completely avoidable when ordering direct from the florist who will actually make your arrangement.
• Google the phone number. If it appears under many different business names with different locations, be suspicious.
• Be aware that just because an ad or website name says "City Name Florist", it doesn't mean the company is located in or actually delivers to that city.
• If following a link from a search engine ad, find the site's home page. Order gatherer sites often contain directory-like links named after states, provinces and cities.  Each page will appear virtually the same except for the city name.

A message from our owner:

To Our Customers:

Remember, when you place your floral order at any time, you will save money and time when you send flowers through a local florist in the United States.

Tips for placing your floral order:

• Please order through your local florist and cut out the middle man.

• Google "florist" in your city and state. Make sure that the listing has a complete physical address to find an actual florist. The listings without a street address are usually call centers and telemarketers.

Earth & Sky is not affiliated with any floral wire services due to the exorbitant price of fees.  After much research and speaking with other small business owners, many independent retail florists have closed their doors because they couldn't keep up with the fees.  We like being independent and we guarantee our quality of product and services.
 

Thank you for your business!
