Great. They're members of both FTD and TF to boot....

So much for honest.... check the phone numbers and redirects from the URLs in the listings. Ugh.

Tracked it back to this site. Looks like a scummy affiliate marketer perhaps?

Those aren't even well done fake listings!

What a tool.

Meta refresh? How'd you track it back?

It looks like the work of the very same NY outfit that hijacked all the florist sites last fall.

Found one that is of interest due to recent posts.

http://www.coasttocoastflorist.com/

Is this one of yours Art?

Yep that's one of Art's order gathering sites he uses to generate orders for his shop.

Funny, recently he claims to support the local "small" florist, but at the same time he continues to gather orders to send back to those same florists heavily discounted and basically worthless. Just another lie by someone claiming that they want to "help" the industry.

Too bad. Art really does have some good ideas marketing wise, even though he talks out of both sides of his mouth as evidenced by CoastotCoast...

Sorry dude, can't have it both ways in this industry anymore. And to think it could have been so different, you could have helped raise the mom and pop slob florist to a new height, you could have taken the high road, but are still slum'n it...

Put's a dark shadow on every other post/topic you bring to the forums...sorry.

Web Florists Network?

http://www.afloristwinnipeg.com/index.php?section=contacts

http://www.webfloristsnetwork.com/index.php

Either this is a French / English translation issue, or....:itchy:

"Our new brand, web florists network is operating since 50 years and more"

lol

I begin to wonder, should I list "For information only" all the TF and FTD shops in town? Just in case people are wondering? :alcoholic

I just found this one, does anybody know who they are? Most definately an OG.

 

[CHR]

Oh yea - one of the worst - part of a nest of TF OGs (run multiple sites under a bunch of different names) with F ratings from the BBB - read more about the way they do business here.

Gosh darn it, it's getting so you can't trust where an order originates.....

We get tons of orders from them. They are from Mission Viejo CA, just like Cathy said, they are one of the worst

 

[anytimeflowers]

Gonna see if there is ANYTHING I can do about it, now that Minnesota has it's shiney new law..... you never know.

Thanks Cathy, I did not see them on the list.

Actually, if I remember right, he's the crybaby that wanted his name and stuff taken off FloristDetective.com last year, because his "partners" were after his ass...

Poor baby... did not happen~!

Also, can anybody tell me who All Occasions Flowers & Gifts is?
I have run into them twice in the past week, two different states.
They are in Flower Shop Network.

Got a URL or City? When I run a WhoIs on Alloccasionflowers.com I get 8,930,000 results...LOL

Also, did you notice that GoFlorist.com uses all Teleflora images... another of Teleflora's stable of order gatherers.

 

[Rhonda]

I sent them a cease and desist order regarding my business name in their listings...... let's see if we get an answer. (not, I'm sure)
OH, and another blatant disregard of Teleflora's rules regarding advertising in markets they don't service....... It's in the rules, not that TF enforces it.....
