I wanna send flowers online - advice on the best companies

Have also used Next flowers a couple of times and have been very impressed. Good quality blooms and reasonable.

Your best bet would be to use something like https://www.yell.com for a florist local to where you want them delivered.

Ring them direct and order. Better value for money than Teleflorist or Interflora. The problem with websites, there are a number who make you think they're local, and they're not. They either take your order and send it through one of the relay services (Teleflorist or Interflora), or via a courier and do you want your bouquet bashing its way through the Parcel Force system?

I've sent three flower arrangements (bouquets etc) recently, and each recipient has been gobsmacked at how good they were. I've used Serenata each time.

Your order is tracked and they send you an email to confirm that it's been despatched - and that it's been delivered.

Very impressed - certainly not the cheapest, but they seem to have the "WOW" factor.

Support your local independant florist, there's bound to be a good one near everyone. If you don’t use them and they all go to the wall who will be left to do what the supermarkets aren’t interested in? Like your funeral flowers or your Wedding flowers?

Why don't you just contact a florist local to the area you want the flowers delivering - you can check with them whether they have an alcohol licence, stock choccies or any other sundries you want adding.
If you order through Interflora, teleflorist etc, all you are doing is paying for one florist to send the order to another. Interflora florists are good though, they are regularly monitored for standards etc so I would be inclined to go with them.
(and yes, I used to work for Interflora )

I've tried local florists and M&S ... M&S won easily - better priced, better flowers, they are now my 'first choice' for buying flowers online
