Wednesdays with Wayne

The Ultimate Guide to What Would Wayne Do...

Be Wise When Buying Flowers!

With Valentine’s Day just ahead I would like to give you some advice on ordering flowers.
Always use a local flower shop for the best total price and quality. 
There are many places that want to sell you flowers such as the 7 non-local companies listed in the Salina Yellow Pages 2013-2014 book.
Although the deceptive advertising laws in Kansas require businesses to list at least their home state address, many companies ignore the law.This is a practice known as “order gathering” in the industry.  These companies have no brick and mortar locations in the towns they advertise in and have no knowledge of what products are available locally and what local prices may be. They often make promises that cannot be kept.
To investigate, I called the 800 numbers listed and asked about placing an order for Salina through their company. All of the companies where happy to help me but had an additional service fees that ranged from $10.99 to $17.99 to the total order price.  (This fee is in addition to an average $10.00 delivery fee)
If you call the Flower Nook directly you can check on availability and our in town delivery fee is only $6.00.

Click-Call-Come In!

If convenience is an issue, we try to make it easy to order through The Flower Nook. 
You can call 785-827-0351, 800-499-NOOK (6665) if out of town or order 24/7 on our website www.flowernooksalina.com. 
On The Flower Nook website you can even see inside our cooler by clicking on the red “Shop our Cooler” button 
Lastly, you are always welcome to come in and see what we have for sale-on most days we’ll even show you what’s in our coolers!

The Flower Nook knows flowers. Save dollars and disappointment by contacting us directly! You'll be glad you did.
