Three Orange County Florists Offer Unprecedented Guarantee This Valentine's Day

Anaheim, CA –- 2/6/06 – A group of Orange County professional florists wants to ensure that OC Valentines receives fresh, top quality flowers so they are taking the unprecedented step of offering a consumer satisfaction guarantee to any recipient who receives a box of cut blossoms delivered by a parcel delivery services (i.e. UPS, FedEx) and gets second-rate quality.

Why are they making such an unheard of consumer satisfaction guarantee – for flowers they didn’t sell in the first place? These OrangeCounty florists believe shoppers are being duped by direct-ship companies that make misleading and deceptive claims about the freshness, presentation and service of their so-called “direct from the fields” blossoms.

”Direct shippers” harvest roses and other flowers and often stage them in warehouses across North America to await purchase. Websites feature professionally arranged bouquets in vases but the blooms are simply bunched, wrapped in protective cardboard, shipped in boxes – and leave special Valentines to do all the work of cleaning, conditioning and arranging them.

Local professional florists’ flowers come direct from growers throughout the world, often in as short a time frame. But these roses and other fine flowers have the added benefit of being immediately hydrated and properly conditioned for maximum vase life.

Parcel delivery services instruct their drivers to leave boxed flowers on the doorstep for people not at home, regardless of the weather conditions. These Orange County florists only hand deliver fresh flowers and will not leave your special gift to suffer in the elements.

The results of direct-ship distribution and delivery methods have great potential for a disappointing, dissatisfying flower purchase. Many professional local florists fear it will ultimately turn gift-givers to choose something besides flowers in the future.

These professional floral shops want special Orange County Valentines to experience the joy of truly fresh flowers this holiday. Anyone receiving cut flowers in a box, shipped by any parcel delivery service, that is dissatisfied with the blossoms within 48 hours of receipt will be given immediate replacement or a consumer satisfaction guarantee certificate redeemable for flowers of like kind within one month.

To take advantage of this extraordinary offer, simply bring the original shipping box, wrapping materials and flowers along with the gift sender’s name, mailing address and email address to Avante Gardens, 843 S. State College Blvd, Anaheim; Everyday Flowers, 15012 Red Hill Ave, Tustinor The Flower Place, 8582 Warner Ave, within 48 hours of the receipt of the package.
