"What you see, is what you pay"

Getting tired of seeing hidden charges at the end of your flower purchases? It's not uncommon to initially see a price on a flower arrangement that you want to buy only to spend the time to process the order, and at the very end of the checkout...BAM!! you get a processing fee and a delivery fee added to your order. This is a sales tactic that is designed to lure you in since you must process the required information in order to even see what the additional charges that will be assessed. Most consumers, having already spent 5 to15 minutes inputting the preliminary information, will just continue with the order and pay the hidden fees. We suggest looking for companies that advertise the fees upfront or even state that all fees and delivery are included in the initial price shown. It is easy to compare initial prices at first, but once those dreaded fees come into play, a flower shop that you may have clicked off of due to the price comparison you saw, most of the time will actually be cheaper in the long run.
