How to preserve fresh flowers for a long time.?

I wana send fresh flowers as gift to my beloved and it would take around 6 days for the delivery. I want to know in details how to pack the flowers and keep it fresh for her to receive with joy and fervour as it is her birthday.

How to preserve fresh flowers for a long time.?
Forget it.... they won't last. You'd be much better off contacting a florist that has FTD... they will make sure she gets her flowers fresh.... You can call any FTD florist in your area and they will contact another FTD florist near where your beloved is and they will deliver the flowers fresh.





Here's a link... you can even order online

Reply:The Redesign Diva is RIGHT ON POINT. I sent flowers this way while overseas. Also, to family and friends that live in other states. This way is WAY better than trying to send flowers through the mail. As hot as it is, and we are talking six days!!!......anything you do to preserve them might be in vain, and also add to shipping weight/cost. It is not written that all the mail/package processing locations in route will be cool or condusive to preserving flowers. On top of that, I don't think I have seen a refrigerated USPS, UPS, DHL, or FedEx truck.





There is another option, besides FTD, there is Teleflora, just to give you a couple to choose from. Personally, I have had better results with FTD. You can even provide the words you want on the attached card, as well as add other things like balloons, etc. You have the option to 'do it up', or just keep it simple. Your beloved should feel special and loved getting flowers delivered. The mail man comes 6 days a week. LOL





GOOD LUCK, and hope this helps.


Looking for an online delivery service that offers something unique (ie: not flowers)?

So I've sent my girl flowers at work a couple of times, but its getting old. I want something a little more bizarre/interesting/funny. Any ideas? Is there an anti-flowers.com?

How do I make a complaint of a purchase I made. Flower Expo sent the wrong colors and flowers to a funeral?

I went to Flower Expo and ordered a bouquet for a funeral. I specified the colors I wanted and also the flowers even the ribbon to be placed on it. I asked for blue flowers and specified carnations white in color and the tips dyed blue with palms in the back ground. The owner showed me some flowers he had but I said no because they were not blue they were purple. He assured me he knew exactly what I would like and he would arrange them himself. When I paid for them I also paid delivery for this memorial gave the address to be delivered to got a reciept and left. Well to make my point I was so devestated when I got to the memorial the whole arrangement was with pink roses orange orchids and the flowers I told him were not blue. He refuses to give me a refund and says I should of took them back how many people do you know of that would carry away flowers meant for the dead and tell the family I HAD TO TAKE THEM BACK.

Since he refuses to give you a refund report his company to the Better Business Bureau.
Reply:If you paid with a credit card you can dispute the charges with your credit card company. You may not get anywhere but at least you will cause him some inconvience. It's worth a shot, at worst you can delay payment for a few months.


My neighbor left a fragile delivery at our door, knew we were home, rang doorbell and split. Was that Rude?

This was a delivery of a fairly large bouquet of flowers in a glass vase. We were not at home when the florist delieved so they left it with our neighbor. I called the neighbor at work and she said she would have her daughter bring it by who was running erands in her car (senior in high school). Now understand, this is a weird neighbor because she is a real estate agent with her smiling face on a couple of billboards around town. She's been in the paper and so she fancies herself somewhat of a public figure. But she is snotty, rude, won't return voice mails or emails, will hold up her hand and walk away from you if you try to speak to her in public, and this is unfortunately who the leadership of our 10-unit condo assn. fell to. I think her daughter was snubbing us by not at least waiting to HAND the flowers to us. She placed it so close to the outward swinging storm door, we couldn't open the door and had to walk around the block to retrieve the flowers. Was that rude?

My neighbor left a fragile delivery at our door, knew we were home, rang doorbell and split. Was that Rude?
definitey rude... but it sounds like..... "like Mother, Like Daughter!!!!" nothing you can do about it.....now you know the daughter is the same way... Double the trouble!!!


Happy Holidays!!!
Reply:yes
Reply:Character or personality has nothing to do with it, just a kid in a hurry to do a chore who had other things on her mind. Forget it.
Reply:Maybe she was being rude and maybe she was simply being a kid. Don't dwell on it. Send a nice thank you note for the fact that they got your flowers to you. Two wrongs never make a right. Rise above it.
Reply:you are the rude one. You should have gone over and picked it up at your neighbors house. It was very nice of them to sign for it and then bring it your house. You have no right to be offended because they didn't extend themselves even further.





It appears you are petty and jealous over your neighbor.
Reply:Kinda thoughtless leaving it so close to the door that you couldn't open it without tipping the flowers. I'd say just give the daughter the benefit of the doubt, that she wasn't thinking, maybe she's cut from a different cloth than her mother (we hope)?
Reply:Yes, that was rude, but look who is modeling behavior for her to imitate. She sees her mom is a well known, successful person and believes she will be just like her. The problem is....she is
Reply:no.....and I think your making to big of a deal out of nothing.....get over it already...and you do sound like a hater..then you going to go on a rant about someone who put a comment you didn't like.....no wonder your neighbors don't want to talk with you...chill out....
Reply:Oh, that's definitely rude. I'd try and talk to her mother about it. You know, real estate agents are supposed to be more personable people. I'd advise my friends not to do business with her, for that specific reason.
Reply:Yes bloody rude .... my neighbour also did a similar thing to me once, my husband send me a big bouquet of flowers, in summer so it was very hot. He asked that it will be delivered early in the morning but they only delivered it later in the morning when I wasn't there. The stupid neighbour only brought it the next day ................never put it in water and all the flowers were wilting and dying. I mean why did she accept the flowers if she knew she was only bringing it the next day? People are so selfish
Reply:She probably thought you were coming out to collect the flowers immediately and didn't realised that the door couldn't be opened or she probably was running out of time. Yes that was a little rude and it would be more polite to hand the flowers to you in person but don't let this "little" incident bothering you.
Reply:Yes, seems like they didn't want to be bothered by it so lets just leave it outside.
Reply:That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. This woman needs a reality check and her daughter needs a boot in the Head


What to say/do when a friend loses her full-term baby?

I just found out that a friend lost her full-term baby during delivery last night. I want to convey my sadness for her and her husband, but I don't know if it is appropriate to call or send flowers. If I talk to her, what should I say? I can't begin to imagine the pain of carrying a child for nine months only to lose it in the delivery room...

What to say/do when a friend loses her full-term baby?
Thats terrible for her....something like that would crush you! I couldnt imagine that. Definately dont call because thats not personal enough. You could buy her a plant or a rose instead so she can plant it somewhere and feel close to the baby she lost. Sometimes u dont need to say much but by making yourself available and simply hugging and letting her know u care and are there if she needs you will mean alot. And dont forget about her in a month, she will need your shoulder for alot longer. Even maker her meals little things mean alot.


Just want to add that i had an ectopic pregnancy and i have a teddy bear (given when i found out i was preg) and also a small vase with flowers now dried that remind me of the baby.
Reply:i have a friend that lost her full term baby boy, it was very difficult to comfort her i let her know i was there for her but i also gave her space she came to me when she was ready.
Reply:only thing you can say, is that you are there for her and her husband...just be there. that is all she needs....Turthfully nothing you or anyone will say will be comforting to her...not for a long long time....if she rejects your at first, dont take it personal....just say I dont want to bother you....but I am here for you. and whatever you need I will be here to give.


Good luck...so sorry to hear about your friends loss, this will be a hard thing for all of you.
Reply:you need to go see her, hug her be there for her, cry with her, support her, there are no right words to say it will never be enough, listen to what she has to say and go from there i could never imagine dealing with this it is heart breaking, whatever you do do not say well you'll have another someday, thatis probably the last thing she wants to hear.....
Reply:You don't say if you live near-by. Please don't send anything, they don't need to deal with stuff, right now. If you call, ask him--not her--if you can come over, and if you can, just sit quietly with her and let her cry on you. Don't talk unless she initiates any remarks, and keep your replys brief and loving.


Bring food, anything is fine, but hot-dishes are best. Use plates or bowls you don't require returned. And if you're a good friend, continue to bring food as well as any supplies she may need.


Let her husband do what he needs to do to support them.


And continue not to offer advice. Just be there, let her cry on you. This is a quick answer, I'm sure there are other ideas, too.
Reply:Don't call I am sure she isn't up to talking. She must be devastated, poor thing. Maybe you can bring her dinner or send her a card and flwoer letting her know you are there for her.
Reply:Nothing U can do or say my momma's friend lost her baby in an early birth I think it was a month early she greived and greived but now she wound up pregnant after only a year they told her to wait a few years or untill she thought she was ready to try again and she was on birth control and used condoms but now she is pregnant again all U can do is be there for her (I'd pray for her too but I don't know if u or her or religious so ya........) But in any case I will pray for her! any way good luck
Reply:Don't need to say anything, nothing will sound right. Just be there for her, let her do the talking when she is ready. I'm sorry...
Reply:If possible, go see her. Give them both a hug. Tell them you're so very sorry for their lose. Let them know you are there for them if they ever need you. When she get out of the hospital, bring over some food. Offer to run errands for her, etc. I think you get the idea. She will be in no condition to do much. Once you ascess the situtation, then you'll know when to step back or help. Remember, they need time to grieve.

Who else has received their Valentine's flowers yet?

the reason i ask is, i Baught my partners 12 roses and other flowers for delivery tomorow(totaling £60) and they were deliverd tonight @ 7 oclock! leaving me with no gift for my Good Lady!


i would be aswell giving her the card now!

Who else has received their Valentine's flowers yet?
I got mine too. It's ok though. I suspect the florists will be run raggged tommorrow so being an old married woman I don't mind getting them early.


I want to send my wife some flowers to work what would you ladies prefer?

A Bouquets nicely wrapped or a Bouquets in a vase. I think a vase would be best what do you think? its for out anniversary I would be sending them to her work no idea when the would arrive and shes not so good at arrangments of flowers





here is a section. I like the ones at Next.co.uk i am looking for delivery and am spending £30 including delivery for tommorrow. we are going for a meal and have already been to Italy last week.


Look on there and add any links you thik she may like for delivery tomorrow though. Thanks

I want to send my wife some flowers to work what would you ladies prefer?
yeh would love flowers sent to my work, obviously from my hubby not your lovely self. Just pick what you think looks really nice yourself, I would say 30 quid is a reasonable price for a decent bouquet. I prefer the ones in the vase as at least they will keep till she gets them home. I got a lovely bunch in a vase when I was in hospital having my babies and they were really nicely arranged. Good luck and enjoy your night out.
Reply:A note to "Felicity O" I know she loves lilies but our daughter got her some lillies so did not want to go cliche and get red roses and her to think I had asked somebody else to get them or taken the easy option so I asked for opinions I think 25 years is Special Report It

Reply:An orchid bouquets is the best.
Reply:Just pick some nice flowers she will love anything from you
Reply:How long have you been married? Diamond rings and holidays in Sorrento, yet you still don't know what flowers she prefers?


If you ask me, it's going to take more than flowers. Forget the credit card. It sounds like time for a heartfelt hug and a few sweet words whispered in her ear.
Reply:definately the ALLURE bouquet, it's lovely. Are u 4 real? You are very thoughtful n romantic. You must love ur wife very much.
Reply:everyone prefers different things. do you know her faves yet? if you dont, go by her fave colour
Reply:Get her some pink roses. They say romance and she would expect the red ones.
Reply:A Triffid!!
Reply:send her all your bank balance!
Reply:Personally, if she is not so good with arrangements, perhaps try a small but lovely potted plant. They last MUCH longer than cut flowers and will be a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness! Just think of it this way - a cut arrangement says "I love you enough to cut up some blossoms for you". A plant that will renew year after year says "My love for you is eternal and will continue to blossom for you." ;) Just a few thoughts from a romantic!! Good luck.





Here are a couple of nice ones in your price range just from the site you listed (WITH shipping):


Orchid - 31.75


Calathea - 28.75


Rosy Apricot mini roses - 25.75
Reply:I'd personally go for a nice big boquet, so i have to run around the office looking for a vase and show off a little bit!





Roses are SOOOO cliched, go for something exotic like orchids or lillies.
Reply:I agree, go for something a bit dfferent which suits her decor/personality. My ex always got me yellow roses - gorgeous, because they were a bit different and very personal.
Reply:flippin eck all i get is a kick in the knickers. ummmmmmmm thats not exactly true. However i have seen Next flowers and they are lovely. Women who like diamonds
Reply:No roses, they're just overpriced and overused. My favorite bouquet is always just brightly colored seasonal flowers. And your budget is about what I spend when I get flowers for my husband.





Otherwise, if you give roses, every single anniversary she'll know she'll be getting the same old roses again.





I never know what to expect when flowers arrive for me!
Reply:NEVER GET THEM FROM NEXT !!!!!!!! We have literally spent hundreds of pounds with them on flowers, and they're lousy - they die too soon and they have a poor vase design and don't always hold the flowers well whatsoever.
Reply:I think the ones in the vase are pretty - the £30.00 ones that are the long stemed ones is what I assume you are buying - I think your wife will LOVE them - I would. Have a lovely anniversary xx
Reply:a dozen red roses
Reply:Anyday, i would go for Lilies....they smell ever sooooo gorgeous!
Reply:Boy where are there more men like you? Just getting flowers at work is great. If you can afford them choose Roses. Tell the florist to fill in with Baby's Breath in a nice vase.
Reply:Are you a real person? I didnt think that men like you existed. Your wife is a very lucky woman. Lilys are nice but their pollen does stain, roses may be seen as old fashoined by some, but when you think of a flower to show that you love someone, its normally roses that come to mind.
Reply:send her favourite flower or flowers in her favourite colour


Red Roses are traditional for wedding anniversary, one for each year you have been married shows extra thought,





or a single rose, with a helium ballon, to which the dinner invitation is attached is slightly different, then the main arrangement you could have delivered to the house, in a colour scheme to match the living room or bedroom depending on where she usually puts flowers





sounds like she is a lucky girl!
Reply:It doesn't matter, if someone sent me a daisy I'd love it. It's the thought that really does count. Lucky lady.
Reply:Seasonal flowers are the cheapest.


Do you not have any idea what flowers your wife likes?


Or maybe she has mentioned flowers that she does not like.


Lilies remind me of funerals.


Any flowers are good. It is the thought that counts after all
Reply:my bf from time to time sends me flowers.. (its been awhile since he has mind you)


and i loved the last time he sent them to me at work.. :) its always nice..





he usually gets me a nice variety of different kinds.. with different colours.. :)





so i'd get a nice variety.. :) and with a vase.. that way they will keep while she's at work more easier.. its not like she has a vase waiting :)
Reply:wow, what a thoughtful guy you are...........
Reply:I think these are nice.


http://www.nextflowers.co.uk/item.asp
Reply:That sounds nice..The BLISS one looks great...
Reply:I guess most women would prefer red roses-the flower of love. I'd prefer white/pink carnations, as they last so much longer.
Reply:Would you like a second wife to pamper. Seriously what a nice idea, I am sure she knows you love her whatever you send. Have a nice meal. xx
Reply:yes that would be wonderful so people can see what a nice husband she has
Reply:Say it with flowers.....buy her a triffid


Can you send flowers to your girl the day before valentines day?

Im wondering if it is ok to send flowers to my girl the day before valentines day the ensure that she actually gets the. I fear she may leave work early on valentines day and if they are a late delivery she may never get to enjoy them. Ladies, how do you feel about getting flowers the day before valentines day? Is this acceptable?

Can you send flowers to your girl the day before valentines day?
If I were to get flowers the day before valentines day I would love them just as much as if they were on valentines day...If you are planning anything else, such as a dinner, then that should wait until the 14th, but the flowers the day before will be fine!





Just to add to it


I think that getting the flowers the day before will make it even more special, since she may be the only one to get flowers sent to her office on the 13th. So not only is she getting flowers from you, but she is also the center of attention!
Reply:Go for something original - every other man on the face of the earth is buying flowers and chocolate - show your woman you're different by going for something completely original and unique to her taste
Reply:I don't see why not. And women like to receive flowers at work. Go for it!
Reply:Yes of course, it's very sweet.


You can send flowers oline free http://valentineday.dmfree.net/ .Send to her flowers and also you can win a $100 Hallmark gift card. Sooo, something for her and maybe something for you.
Reply:I'd just be glad to be getting flowers. It's nice that you thought about her.
Reply:Ok, after reading everyone elses answers I'm going to be the "bad guy" I was awoken this morning from a knock at my door. It was the flower guy. I got my Valentines day flowers 4 days early and I'm on fire. I think this just might be the straw that breaks the camels back. Take it from me, I'm being honest, my girlfriends and I have been talking about it all week amongst ourselves... IT IS NEVER OKAY TO SEND FLOWERS EARLY. NEVER, EVER, EVER. Trust me. Please. We all know its WAY cheaper to have them delivered the day before and no matter what excuse your using, we'll all think deep down inside, your trying to save a few bucks. I dont even want these flowers. I want to open my window and throw them out. I'm embarrassed by them. I'm actually on here trying to find an article about how its NOT okay to send flowers early. Maybe its just something us women talk about amongst ourselves, but none of us WANT Valentines day flowers on any day OTHER THAN Valentines day. Dont do it. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years and we dont have the best relationship. This whole flower incident just made me dislike him that much more. Maybe your in a new relationship and everyone's on their best behavior and lovey dovey and thats cool. But after a few years, sending flowers a day or two early WILL NOT FLY!!! Dont do it guys... Wednesday is NOT valentines day. Its just any other day... DO NOT DO IT!!!
Reply:Well usually, the florist will ask for a specific time you want them delivered. So have the florist deliver the flowers during the time she will be at work. I think, sending flowers is a good idea. Giving red roses is the norm so I would suggest having a different arrangement done. Like orchids or whatever her favorite flower is.


Tipping question...........Is it proper to tip delivery people that deliver gift baskets and or flowers to you

when you are on vacation , or otherwise ?

Tipping question...........Is it proper to tip delivery people that deliver gift baskets and or flowers to you
I would say yes, if you have a few dollars on you. Since most gift baskets and flowers are usually a surprise, I've been caught several times without cash, when the flowers were delivered. It's a little embarrassing, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person this has happened to, so I'm also pretty sure the delivery person doesn't expect a tip from every basket or bouquet they deliver.
Reply:most definitely. anyone in hospitality or delivery should be compensated for their work in a tip!
Reply:Yes! Give them a couple dollars! Poor things!
Reply:Absolutely.!!


The delivery folks are not well paid. A bit of extra would be welcome, I am sure!
Reply:At least offer it. Some are not allowed to accept it, and others have the tip taken care of in the purchase price. (It'll be up to the delivery person whether or not to accept it.)
Reply:Yes I think that it is expected to tip them. Their salaries are small taking into consideration that they would be tipped.

If you are not Brazilian, I guess you would find a nice flower deliver, but they probably won't take you credit card here. I do not know the reason, but most places here 'don't take credit card issued abroad.


I want to send flowers to a girl?

I'm planning to send flowers to this great girl who went to prom with me last year, but this is my first time sending flowers a girl. So I need some help. Here is the list of questions.





1) Should I use a florist company on the internet, such as FTD.com, or local flower delivery shops? I live far away from her now, and I don't know the details about local florists near her house. Can I trust FTD.com?





2) Should I send a bouquet without a vase or with a vase? You only send flowers in a vase to people who are sick, am I correct? Which form do you expect flowers to come in when your partner send you flowers?





3) I want to give her a card with personalized message with the flowers. Can I do that?








If you have any experience of sending flowers or receiving flowers, please post me some answers. They will be greatly appreciated. I always give 5 stars to best answer and I will give two thumbs up after choosing it! Thank you!

I want to send flowers to a girl?
FTD is a respectable company and they have lovely arrangements you can choose from on their website. That said, I prefer to use local florists because they are very helpful. When I sent my mom flowers on her birthday I was able to have an arrangement that had her favorite flowers and colors in it. As for your other questions send them in a vase, it is always much nicer to be able to view the flowers then to have to cut the stems and arrange them yourself. And either way you send them you can add a personalized message. Good luck.
Reply:Oops. My other account has not reached level 2 to give a thumb up. sorry about that. Report It

Reply:If you haven't ordered from Martha Stewart Flowers then you should. They have a vast variety and arrangements starting at $29.99. Unlike most floral websites, Martha Stewart Flowers provides beautiful fresh-cut flowers. Report It

Reply:Why are you sending girls flowers? When you went to the prom with this girl, you probably ended up paying for all kinds of things, so you owe her nothing. What is it that you hope to accomplish by sending her flowers?
Reply:I used 1-800-flowers.com. They do a really great job with flowers and other things as well, like teddy bears, etc. And you get to put your own personal greeting. I would think flowers with a vase would be best, they always pick out a great one to match the flowers. Good luck hun!
Reply:Obviously you really like this girl a lot. It's so cute that you want to send her flowers. I know that girls love flowers from my own experience. I am a girl!! Well if it were me you were sending the flowers to, I would just buy some. I'm not a particular girl, %26amp; i would love to have a guy send me flowers. I'm sure she'll be happy with whatever you choose to do.


Good luck

Need to do something nice for my wife from far away, ideas?

I'm deployed to Afghanistan and my wife and I have had a hard time lately. I truly love her and want to do something to show it even though I'm stuck over here. I need a good idea that goes beyond the usual flower delivery type stuff. Little help please...

Need to do something nice for my wife from far away, ideas?
This is really hard for you to do, but if you knew of a beauty salon or nice hotel that had a salon that gave beauty treatments, like massages, that would be very nice. You could pay for an entire beauty treatment--nails, pedicure, massage or just facial massage. A European facial massage is very nice and a very nice gift. You might need to contact one of her girlfriends or some other woman who knows the best places to go in your hometown. Very sweet of you. Hope everything works out positively for you both. And...thanks for being there protecting all of us in the USA. You are my hero. Take care.

any florist will write a card for you and if requested be anon...interflora are good but expensive.. Just go to your local florist!

Reply:this could be super sweet or super creepy....do you actually KNOW this girl well? Do you know for sure she is single? You really shouldn't send flowers to someone who isn't actually available - you could cause someone you care about a lot of harm.





If you know her, and you know she is single - go to a florist, don't go online (online can be tracked) pay cash and request no card.
Reply:use an independant florists shop


pay cash


only way to keep it quiet
Reply:In many states of the US, sending an annonymous gift could be considered as stalking. It all depends on how the recipient would perceive that gift, which is unpredictable. Because of that, and of course in a litigation-happy country like US, some (but not all) florists would simply refuse to deliver flowers annoymously. I don't know the situation in UK.

How much money is a good tip amount?

Either in a restaurant or delivery? Should I tip for all deliverys like flowers and what about hairdressers do you tip them to?

How much money is a good tip amount?
20 per cent
Reply:it depends on who is serving u because if they are good they would get at least 5.00 dollars
Reply:10% is minimum, 15% for good service. 20% for excellent service. NEVER stiff the wait staff!
Reply:a restaurant tip is should be 15%-20% of your total bill.. A hairdresser tip should be around $5 maybe more depending on what u had done
Reply:Depends on the service...


* Really crappy service that makes you wanna throw tables around...no tip


* Regular crappy service that makes you wonder if the waiter was rolling a joint before he delivered your food...5% tip


* Ok service that is somewhat satisfactory but still leaves room to be desired...10% tip


* Great service that makes you wanna ask the waiter out...15% tip


* Best service ever that makes you wish you were the waiter...20% tip


(I'm bored)
Reply:what ever that tax amount is double it and leave that for the tip
Reply:eating out 20% unless the service is bad then I do like 15%





delivery food 10% $20 for a pizza $2 tip- if I order $50 and get 5 pizzas I'd give a $5





Hairdressers yes you tip- depending on the job they did I just give about 15%





Tattoo artist- tip





Don't tip Starbucks or coffee baristias. Its stupid. Don't tip fast food or sandwich shops that have tip jars out. We can't encourage this. $5+ is more than enough for coffee
Reply:Tips are a sham. It's almost expected now. These waitstaff come from a generation of crybabies with a sense of entitlement. A lot provide poor service and a $hitty attitude and expect a big tip. Those ones, I stiff. No tip. Tips are for exemplary service. To reward poor service is absurd. Remember, tips are for excellent service, not mediocre service. If the server does a poor job, you should not feel guilt tripped into leaving a small tip, you should leave nothing. If they do a good job you can leave a tip, say 15 percent. That's really optional. A good job is not an excellent job. An excellent job warrants a 20+ percent tip. Be generous to those that deserve it.
Reply:I do at least 15% or double the tax
Reply:20% is correct for good service, I tip about 15% on food delivery.


I tip my hairdresser the same.


I never get flowers, but I guess I would tip them like $2 for their service.


It's always best to err on the side of generosity.
Reply:I tip a buck or whatever and change to the delivery guys. I tip 10% for average service, 15-20% for exceptional service.





I tip my hairdresser a buck. I takes like 5 minutes to do my hair and it's nothing special.
Reply:20%...yes, tip for deliveries and hairdressers if you get good service.
Reply:resaurant is a good thing to tip %18 if it was decent service, 20% if great! or more!!!





delievery, i just tip a dollar for every $10 that i spend





hair dresser, just did that today! i tipped well over 20% cause the lady did a fantastic job! Normally , like the last time, i tipped nothing cause she screwed my hair up(different chick)


normally, just 15-18% for hair dressers, I don't give shampooers tips cause the place i go to doesn't allow it.
Reply:I am so sick of people saying "why tip? they get paychecks". Do you realize your waiter or waitress makes about 2 bucks an hour? Tipping really depends on service. I'd say 20% minimum unless your server did a truly crappy job. Just remember, he or she is taxed on what you SHOULD have left whether you leave anything or not. Plus, if you're a regular at that restaurant you may get some unpleasant seasonings at your next visit for under tipping.
Reply:3 dollars
Reply:at a restaurant, i usually do 20% and if the service was just ok, more like 15% which is still good. remember, if you use a coupon or get a discount, you tip 20% of the original amount. delivery, i never do moe than $5. I do tip my hairdresser about 10%
Reply:15%-20% of the total bill is what you should pay out for tip.
Reply:it depends on the service and how much your bill is.
Reply:You should tip all they are doing you a service. Waitress and waiters,bartenders,cocktail waiters, get taxed whether they det a tip or not, at least 15 to 20%, real good service a little more, you'll be remembered next time
Reply:%20-%25 is a GOOD tip, %10-%15 is average and expected most places





Anthony Pittarelli
Reply:15% over all bill
Reply:depends on how much your bill is and yes you should tip hairdressers, delivery drivers and any other people that does service to you or for you
Reply:waitress 20% is good.....and anything over 20% is great





bartender I tip $1 every drink........and you well get the hook up at most places





hairdressers.......i tip $5-$10.......it takes them about 10-15min for me and if you tip your hairdressers tip your Tattoo artist too.....thats why you need to tip.... know one can live on that.....





delivery yes do tip because they are driving there car with there Gas and we all know gas is not $1.00 anymore





"sdbiologist" and "erica" are *** holes....





They only make $3.75 an hour......know one can live on that......Thats why you should tip unless they really suck
Reply:Once, one of the workers poured soy sauce all over my sister's feather(?) coat. And it left stains all over. But we tipped them anyway. And it all really depends on the service.
Reply:People generally go with 20% for good service.





Then again, why should we tip at all? THESE PEOPLE DO HAVE A PAYCHECK.





FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND.





These days, we're expected to tip EVERYONE.
Reply:Why tip? these people get paid so why should we have to tip them on the top? I don't get tips as a nurse so ...
Reply:10% at a restaurant
Reply:I am more critical of waitstaff in restaurants having been a waitress myself. I leave 20% usually, but a poor server will get 10% or less from me. I have gave up to 40% for a few exceptional waitstaff that went way beyond their duty to keep me happy. I give a hairdresser 15 to 20 % depending on how I look at the end of the cut.
Reply:you should leave a tip around 15%. if they worked well and were nice, 15 is sufficient but 20 is more appreciated. as for other services like florists and stuff, id only tip them if they were really nice. the only person i tip other than food is when i get my hair cut.





calculating 15% is alot easier than you think. just take the number (lets say 35?$) and move the decimal over one space to the left. we now have 3.5$. now take that amount and divide it in half. 1.75$. add those numbers together.





a tip for a 35$ dinner should be about 5.25$. maybe 6 if you had a good waiter.





hope this helped.





remember though, tips arent required, especially to asshole servers.
Reply:I tip delivery $1-2.





I tip restaurants $5-10 depending on the cost.





I don't believe in a certain percentage for tips and it also depends on the service in a restaurant. However, no matter what I will always tip a waiter/waitress.

Does anyone know of a website that delivers flowers to Romania and the Czech Republic for a reasonable price?

It's okay if they're 2 different websites. It seems like I have to spend around $50 or more, just on the flowers alone, not even with a box of chocolate or delivery fees. I want to spend a maximum of $50/each including taxes, a small box of chocolate and delivery fees. If you know of any sites, would you please let me know?

http://eshop.kvetiny-online.cz/ try this web site. You can pay online, they will deliver anywhere in CR and the prices are very resonable {23 CZK = 1 USD}, so all the flower are around $ 30. The only problem is that the website is in Czech, but try to email them, maybe somebody speaks english in there info@kvetiny-online.com or ICQ messanger 218196086.

I have received flowers from them many times, and they are beautiful and long lasting. They're sent straight from the field, and are cut less than 24 hours before you receive them. They have a wide variety of anniversary flowers that are less than $100. You can also include a personalized card. My favorite part is that they come with instructions on how to care for the flowers to make them last as long as possible. For someone like me who can kill any kind of plant, instructions are the best.

Flower help!?

Okay let's say you want to buy six white roses and six red roses at a local flower shop and uhmm have them delivery to a house not far away like 5-10miles..or so..wht's the avg. price? how advance can you order them?

Flower help!?
It doesn't seem like an unusual request. They can probably do it the same day. Next at the latest. But if you can order them a few days ahead it is probably the best.





Cost of roses vary depending on the area and season, but I would guess it will be $35-50. Maybe a tad more.


If I get flowers delivered from a love interest do I tip the delivery person?

I'd say no. Do you tip the UPS guy? Usually tipping is for those service-industry jobs that pay under min. wage, and the tips make up an actual part of their salary. The gratuity police won't arrest you for tipping the delivery guy, if you feel the need to, but I don't think it's expected. If you want to be completely sure, call the florist, ask to speak to the manager or owner and ask them.

Is 20% discount from FTD (Forgot To Deliver) enough for missing my flower delivery to my mom for Mother's day?

My mom lost her daughter almost a year ago, leaving behind a 1year old. She just gave her granddaughter to the father (divorce) three weeks before Mother's day.


This mother's day she was going to be alone, so I splurged and spent $80 on flowers from FTD (Forgot To Deliver). Normally I use 1800FLOWERS, but I just used whatever ad I came upon first, which unfortunately was FTD.





So I called them, wondering how they missed Mother's day completely, and they offer me 20% off, saying they got the order but somehow missed it, and delivered on Thursday.





Is 20% off enough, I figure 1/2 off at least. Do they make enough mistakes to only offer 20% to stay profitable? Or is this just a greedy company with no heart?

Is 20% discount from FTD (Forgot To Deliver) enough for missing my flower delivery to my mom for Mother's day?
No. A reputable firm would send the flowers absolutely free. At 20 % they are still making a profit for failure. What kind of crap is that?
Reply:They should send them for free. Call them again and threaten to never use them unless they make you satisfied. Enough arguing and you could get them for free, and maybe have them throw in your next order for half off or something.
Reply:No way that 20% is reasonable. All florists know Mother's Day is the biggest day of the year for flowers (and cards). A screw-up, esp since they acknowledged they somehow missed it, deserves a minimum of half off the order, and since it was Mother's Day, it should be free. Esp if you explained the situation to them.





Call again, and if you don't get satisfaction, ask if you can speak to a supervisor.

As for other gift ideas then maybe some items from the year of his birth like a football programme, coins, newspaper, special events items/memorabilia. Type his birth year into Ebay and see what comes up. No need to buy from there but it may give you some more ideas.

Reply:Hello Niti,





What a lovely idea!





You can make one of the presents a treasure hunt. Hide all the presents with a clue as to where to find the next present! You can prepare this before you go as most hotels now show layouts for the room, so you can plan where to hide stuff and make appropriate clues.





Gift ideas (I've thought of "light" things that will not weigh much in your case)





* Write a small children's book with drawing /paintings /photoes about something that means a lot to both of you.


* Something "intimate" but fun (I'm talking sex toys or clothes!)


* get a photo engraved on a dog tag http://www.photoengraving-f2f.com/


* A voucher that says you will do a chore that he hates for 1 week (eg I promise the bearer that I will do all washing-up for 1 week)


* Tickets to an event he would enjoy


* Massage oil (!!) You can make your own with a few drops of essential oil from any health shop or Boots and italian olive oil - put it all into a nice bottle.


* Men love gadgets! Here are some ideas

Nobody should be tipped unless they go above and beyond.

Reply:You should tip any person who is delivering you something! I always tip the flower delivery boy (usually more because I'm always excited to get flowers!)
Reply:good point, but people know they have to take money out of their wallet, and then they remember the tip, but since they don't have to take money out with flwers, they dont remember
Reply:Well, if you're sending flowers to someone as a gift, they shouldn't be expected to pay anything. Florists know this. If you order flowers for yourself, I guess you should tip the delivery person...but who does that?
Reply:When you order a pizza you order it. Most of the time flowers are a gift from someone. Maybe the purchaser of the flowers should add the tip so the flowers are delivered with a smile.


How about that ?
Reply:It just doesnt work that way...sorry.
Reply:BECAUSE GUYS EAT PIZZA, GIRLS GET FLOWERS!
Reply:because they're more important, so get over it!
Reply:In most cases, you are paying for the pizza while its being dropped off, but someone else bough you the flowers. We like to tip ppl who bring us food. And I also think that the flower boy makes more money than the pizza boy.
Reply:Any type of delivery person should always be tipped.
Reply:Never tip anyone. :p
Reply:when you have pizza delivered to your house you are paying for it, therefor you give them a tip. when sending flowers you are sending them to someone so you should give them the tip, not the receiver. i add in a tip when i pay for flowers being sent to someone

choose roller blades

The pink stuff looks like a mallow, but the plant is a wonderful mystery. RScott
Reply:The pink flower is a rose mallow, Lavatera trimestris (Malvaceae). Here's a photo on a page with a lot of info:

I have them in my garden. They self-seed a LOT so you have to weed out many seedlings and leave just a few to bloom. They're great for a sunny bank that you don't want to mow, or a wildflower patch.

Is it gay to send a man flowers? if so, what can you send a man by delivery?

me and my boyfriend had a huge fight. i was wrong and i wanted to send him an apology but I don't know what to send him? Any advice? I want it to be delivered and I don't know what else other than flowers or balloons but Riley says it's gay.

Good Luck ~Goddess Bless~
Reply:YES VERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try sending a card or money but not flowers unless ur gay or a bi-sexual!
Reply:Great answer. If I were him, I would want you to apologize face to face. I know it's hard- but that's why it means more.





If you want to bring a gift, consider something he might like. If he likes candy or something like that, you could wrap it and bring it with you.





Just don't forget the main event: you.
Reply:Gay??? Maybe not gay, but definately not a great idea. Guys will razz the sh!t outta him and he will be even more p!ssed in the end. Try sending him a candygram or cookie basket. That might be okay. Or you could show up at his house with a six pack and a pizza and apologize your a$$ off... That would probably be the best idea...
Reply:It's not gay. Why don't you just go to his house and apologize to him then? The best thing is to tell him you're sorry face to face.

Urgent: flower shop in Argentina. Anyone?

Hi everyone:


I am looking for a flower shop (In Mar del Plata,


Argentina) that does local deliveries.


Any Argentinians out there? Really need to know ASAP.. my stepdad passed away and would like to send mom some flowers.





If you have any links to any website or a link to the yellowpages from there, I would appreciate it. Been unable to locate it.


Thanks

Urgent: flower shop in Argentina. Anyone?
Look in your yellow pages for a florist that wires flowers. Call them, and explain where you want to send them. They will either be able to do it from there, or know another wire service that will.


What is the proper thing to do in this case?

If I just had a baby last week and I receive a delivery of flowers from a family member to congratulate me and my husband on our new baby. Do I call and thank her or do I NOT call to thank her. What is the proper thing to do??

What is the proper thing to do in this case?
send a thank you card. people want to be acknowledged
Reply:I would sent a thank you letter in the mail.
Reply:thnk them definatly other wise they might not send you any other things
Reply:I say call. I was told that is the proper way to do it when you get flowers. You only send cards if it is bunch of people sending stuff for the same thing. In this case, it is personal and I think the person would enjoy a call to hear your voice and the joy in it. They will want to ask questions I think too...about the bady and how you are feeling.
Reply:It would probably be best to call.
Reply:Feed the baby
Reply:Send a thank you note in the mail.
Reply:return address? I say send a thank you letter....it's courteous.
Reply:Call and thank her for the lovely flowers. In my opinion, a letter is too formal.
Reply:Send a thank you note.
Reply:u should call them. if they are bein nice, u should be nice to them back. besides, theyre family and they love u.
Reply:yeah, I think that you should but tell her that She didn't have to do this but be very nice to the family member it's just good common sense
Reply:Send a thank you note. Keep a box of generic thank yous around so you don't have to run out everytime you need one.
Reply:Wow! Overthinking much?





Call or don't call, whatever you prefer, just make sure they get thanked. I'm leaning towards calling since they will want to know the gift arrived.
Reply:Definitely call and thank her at least! You should get a package of thank you cards because you are going to get all kinds of gifts. The proper thing to do is thank the person for the gift (and name it) saying that you love it (even if you don't). If its money or a gift card tell them what you are going to do with it. Congratulations!
Reply:Definitely acknowledge the gift. I would call, you could also write a thank you note.


What colleges Should I apply to?

Here are my Stats: SAT score: 1580 ( yes I know i did crappy.. thats like average) I was a House page my Junior year.I was chosen for principal's page. I volunteered 217 hours at a hospital. in Osteo screening, short stay surgery , pediatrics and flower delivery. volunteered in food drive. Volunteered 300 hours to political campaigns. I interned at a law firm when I was 15 for a year ( including summer) and my senior year ( now) for a year. I have a 3.8 GPA National Honors society tutoring freshmen, I'm attending Eastern Washington University now getting college credits ( as well as fulfilling my highschool requirements) for my senior year.Hoby leadership program. I started a crochet club. In art club and spanish club. uhh. president's award for volunteering, presidents award thing for academics. and moreI 'm Mexican... What are my odds in getting into a good college. any suggestions on where I could get accepted to? Where I should apply? I'm thinking of going into law......

What colleges Should I apply to?
Yeah, they obviously don't know what the new SAT test is :) Wasn't that horrible??? It is sooooooooooo long. Anyway, there are a lot of good schools that you could get into - you did a TON of extracurricular work, so you should make that the backbone of your application. Apply to your state's main public school as a backup (or not, some are really very good). Apply to Loyola University of Chicago. I applied there when I was a senior, and I know that they LOVE extracurricular work and volunteerism. I read that you want to go into law, so it MIGHT help to go to a school that has a law school, but it really doesn't usually make a difference (that's what I've heard at least). Best of luck!!!
Reply:Find a university that supports the major you want.





Put them on a list and start to figure out which would be the best fit for you
Reply:Well, if a person actually existed that did all of this, they could probably get into almost any school they wanted.





However, since you're just lying and making all this crap up, I suggest you just apply at a basic university in your state, so you don't have to worry about paying out-of-state tuition.
Reply:1580 and you call that crappy? are you on drugs? that is HARVARD material. law? damn i'm going into law too. i don't have your credentials but i am doing an internship with the district attorney in NY now. but you should apply for NYU, HARVARD, YALE, PRINCETON and along those lines why do you ask such stupid questions like what are your odds of getting into college. your odds of getting into a GREAT college are the same odds as you going to sleep and waking up today/tomorrow depends your time zone. but you get my point.
