I am ordering flowers for my mom for Mothers Day. I was wondering about the quality of flowers with Pro Flowers. They same way cheaper than a regular, local florist. Is it you get what you pay for? Or are they actually good flowers?

they are what you pay for. I, personally, will never order from them again.

They usually sub it out to local florists anyway. No difference in quality.

Find a good local florist. Figure out how much you want to spend. Call local florist and tell them you have X dollars and would like an arrangement for mom. Tell them you'd like to use them going forward.

I was a little embarrassed that they came and dropped a box off on her desk. Dumb.

Ive never had a problem with them. Ordered a couple dozen roses for my wife for valentines day and they arrived just blooming and lasted two weeks before wilting. Some of the best, longing lasting ones I have received from them. Benn doing business with them for quite awhile.

I've used them quite a bit and never had a problem. They are a little pricier but that is mainly because of delivery fees, which is the reason I go with them over a local florist who doesn't deliver. All of my orders have been delivered on time.

As far as quality, they've always lived as long as the flower is expected to live.

The delivery window was from 11am-8pm. They did not show up until the next day at 6pm.

The kicker was that they subbed them out to the fricking funeral home florist.

Order them from a florist. These will come shipped in a box.

Also they will send you about 3-4 emails every day.

You're better off getting nothing than using them
