Why Should I Order Flowers Locally Instead of Using Major Delivery Providers?

At 1800 Flowers Allen, we’re proud to be a local florist serving North Dallas and the surrounding Allen areas. When you choose to order directly from us, you enjoy better quality, competitive pricing, and arrangements made with care.

Here’s why ordering locally is the best choice:

Quality and Value

Unlike major delivery providers, we control every aspect of the process—from selecting fresh flowers to designing your arrangement. Large delivery networks often act as middlemen, taking orders online with big marketing budgets but little involvement in the quality or freshness of the flowers.

Transparent Pricing

Flower order gatherers typically charge hidden fees that can significantly increase the cost of your arrangement. These fees often include:

• Commissions: Ranging from 20% to 50%, leaving local florists with limited funds to create your special arrangement.
• Transaction Fees: Additional costs for online payment processing.
• Service Fees: Extra charges for order handling, customer support, and website maintenance.
• Delivery Fees: Separate charges that may not always reflect the actual cost of delivery.

When you order from us, you avoid these unnecessary fees and ensure more of your money goes toward premium flowers and a better arrangement.

Support Local Business

By choosing a local florist like 1800 Flowers Allen, you’re supporting the local economy and ensuring a personal touch in every order. We’re committed to providing exceptional service, custom arrangements, and fast delivery for your special moments.  We support the Allen Eagles athletics and numerous elementary school events.

How do I care for my flowers?

At 1800 Flowers Allen, we do not ship flowers in a box. As a local florist, we take pride in ensuring the highest quality and freshness, starting from the time the flowers are cut at the farm and carefully delivered to our store.

To keep your flowers looking their best:

1. Use the Provided Plant Food: Mix the flower food packet we include with clean water in your vase.
2. Change the Water Regularly: Refresh the water every 1-2 days to keep the flowers hydrated and prevent bacteria growth.
3. Trim the Stems: Re-cut the stems at an angle every couple of days to promote better water absorption.
4. Place in a Cool Location: Keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts for longer-lasting blooms.

With proper care, your flowers will stay fresh and beautiful, allowing you to enjoy their natural beauty for as long as possible. Contact us if you have any questions or need additional tips!
