How
are Floral International and Agrotropical different?
We have over 25 combined years of experience in the International
Flower Market. All our flowers are shipped directly from the farms
in Colombia and Ecuador to our customers; we have effectively cut
out the middle man. This way you have fresher, healthier cut flowers
at lower prices.
Do you sell retail and wholesale?
Floral International
is exclusively a WHOLESALE CUT FLOWER DEALER. To order from us you
need to have a TAX ID # and license.
What
is the minimum order?
The minimum
order is 1 box of flowers (eg 1 box of Black Magic roses, 1 box
of carnations etc.). Please go to the section on 'how to order'
for more details.
Please
explain the price list to me.
The price lists
we have provided on this Website are for standing orders. In other
words, the prices are for those clients that open an account with
us and order from us on a regular basis. If you would like to order
flowers from us one time or rarely, please contact us for a different
price list.
What
is the advantage of opening an account with you?
When you order
from us regularly and open an account, our prices do not vary during
the year. There are peaks in the flower season -- St. Valentine's,
Mother's Day etc. We do not change our prices during the flower
high season.
Why
do some flower companies not charge shipping?
There's no such
thing as "free shipping." They cover their costs in other
areas. We believe it's only fair that we charge shipping according
to the final destination. This keeps our base flower prices low
and our customers happy.
How
do you ship the flowers?
For orders within
the United States 100 lbs and over (approximately 6 boxes), we ship
airport to airport on commercial airlines. International orders
over 200 lbs (approximately 12 boxes) are also shipped airport-to-airport
on commercial airlines. Anything that falls under the aforementioned
weight requirements is shipped via FEDEX.
How
can I pay?
You need to
pre-pay your order by wiring money to our account in the United
States. Once confirmation of payment is received from our bank,
we begin to process your order. When we establish business ties,
we can begin to work out different payment plans, but for the initial
orders, you must pre-pay everything.
How
many stems are in a bunch?
The specifications
of how the flowers are packed and number of stems in the bunch are
included in our Farm
and Miami
pricelists.
When should I place my order?
Because we ship directly from farms, your order is not harvested
until we call our farms. We need at least 5 days notice to harvest
and ship your flowers to your final destination.
What color roses do you have available?
We have a very large variety of roses available, go to our price
list to choose from our catalog of products. If, for some reason,
we don't have what you're looking for, we will find it for you.
How can I be sure my flowers will arrive fresh?
Your flowers are shipped within 48 hours of harvesting them. This,
again, is the advantage of shipping direct from our farms to your
business. Moreover, our shipping standards are well above the industry's
standards. Our customers expect the freshest flowers on the market,
and we do everything possible to insure this. Because all our flowers
are shipped directly from our farms, we guarantee high quality control
and packing processes. If you have any questions about our shipping
procedures please feel free to call us.
Do you ship to other countries besides the United States?
We ship flowers
all around the world, from Europe and Asia to Australia and North
America.
How
do flowers remain hydrated during shipping?
In the cut-flower
industry, flowers are not shipped with water. Before shipping, all
flowers have been conditioned and hydrated with a special process
that keeps water inside the stem. They are then placed in special
coolers with humidifying systems to keep them as moist and cold
as possible.
How
do I take care of the flowers when they arrive?
Please refer
to our section on 'taking
care of your cut flowers' for detailed information.
