We get it, we do understand, “we” being florist’s that is. We know many consumers are duped into thinking that they will get a good quality experience with fresh flowers when they order “direct from the fields” as claimed by Proflowers.com and other direct shippers of perishable product.
But, when you ordered from Proflowers.com did you really intend to send your emotions in a box.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen this unsuspecting customer ordered from Proflowers.com for a funeral. And yes, this is an actual picture taken in a Philadelphia PA, funeral parlor recently. I do not doubt for one minute, that the sender intended to send a beautiful bouquet. Proflowers.com pictures many nice looking designs on their site, but they come, as shown above in a box
And before you think this is an isolated case, think again. This type of thing happens time and time again, day in and day out all across North America. Unsuspecting consumers trust a beautiful picture to convey their emotions, but receive something much different.
We can’t blame the funeral directors either. They are not floral designers, what would you expect them to do? They either have to leave the box out back in the garage or flower room, or simply set it in the parlor so that the family knows it’s there. Usually they leave them out back, and give them to the family when they are leaving to go home. But, in some cases as you can see above, they place them in the viewing room for all to see. I certainly would not want the grieving family to know I did not care enough to find a local real florist, and sent flowers in a box.
