Definitely noticed the lack of flowers this year. Mostly del Costco flowers and a few proflowers.

Fine with me either way.

Too many customers expecting us to be florists.

weird... we were swamped w/ those & FTD & some fruits/ cherries/ other perishables the past Wed/Thurs/Fri/ then died out w/ a few on Sat...

not as much as last year, since those companies were using other carriers to get as much stuff out of their warehouses during that time (like what amazon does)

 

[TUT]

I don't know who was having issues, but I heard there was a lot of missed flower shipments this year, I'll have to go check...

Yes, indeed. Mine cost me $6.99 for a dozen roses @ Aldi's and the wife loved them. They sure did the trick!

They moved Ground. I ordered some for my wife and they were delivered via Home Delivery. I tracked them and it appears Pro Flowers set up regional shipping locations to be able to pull this off. Most of the ones we moved at my station were P1.

I ordered Pro Flowers .. 2 orders .. 1 for Tuesday and another for Wednesday .. both were delivered to my gf via Express ..

I definitely saw less Proflowers this year than last year, but we did have some. Also a spike in Harry&David, FTD, Red Envelope, etc.

 

[Alleycar]

I had a lot of Proflowers and Sherri's Berries. A few 1-800-flowers and FTDs. UPS driver here

Why are some people saying they moved Ground and others are saying they didn't move Ground? Or did ProFlowers split it up this year among several carriers.

If we are talking UPS drivers, air drivers can't move ground.
