These gifts of nature are available in plenty in flower shops in form of bouquets and arrangements. They are even available online. If you browse the net, you can find plenty of flower shops that offer online flower delivery services. Online flower delivery services are basically websites, which allow the customers to order the flowers as well as related items by browsing the online catalogues. They are generally delivered to the third party, recipient of gift.

Here we are going to discuss about the different types of online flower delivery services:

Local florists: The local florists like Flowers In Tofhe Valley that offers online flower delivery in Morwell and its surrounding regions is a reputed local florist. They provide bouquets and arrangements for direct delivery in that particular geographical area. The delivery is done by their companies' own personnel and vans. This kind of service is also popular as 'hand-delivered' and has the benefit of presenting the shoppers with  same day delivery. The delivery charges are usually displayed separately, which needs to be paid other than the price of the product.

 

Order brokers: They are third party agents who only display images of the bouquets and arrangements on their sites and then transfer the orders that they get to their affiliated local florists for hand delivery. The order broker customers generally pay extra service fees and local delivery charges. However, these prices are included in the price, which are displayed with every product.

Relay florist: A relay service is a site where an organisation or a person procures the purchase order between the consumer & itself instead of the order that's being placed directly with the local florist in delivery area. Relay service usually collects payment for order but as they cannot fulfil the order itself unless delivery is local to location of relay service, what it does is relays order & payment to the local florist in delivery region, without taking any commission.

Courier delivery: Flowers are even delivered by courier. These kinds of flowers are generally assembled into bunches at a farm or in warehouse of the distributor or importer. They are placed in the cardboard boxes & shipped direct to recipient through overnight couriers. The benefit of this kind of service is that because flowers are generally shipped from importer or farm they may be a fresher although the temperature fluctuations en route & shipping conditions can negate the advantage. The recipients are responsible for cleaning, unpacking, conditioning and arranging the courier-delivered flowers.
