FTD via Groupon - $20 for $40 Valentine's Deal

Thanks for the head up. This will be my first time buying flowers and gift for a girl on Vday. Any tips for me?

throw them hints out now if you don't already know what her favorite flower is. there's some girls that love them, some hate them. it's a gesture but there might be that 'one' that'll be irritated she's lugging a vase to her car. lol. do it as soon as possible. find a local florist and pick the flowers up yourself and hand deliver them to her.. or surprise her in some way with them.

i'm saving you the delivery charge and cost these online retailers attempt you to pay!

at least now you can spend a little more on her!

so basically you refuse to read the OP where it's posted

wow. people just amaze me

I remember this deal from last year and it caused quite a stir because FTD raised its prices for Groupon users.

From Huff Post 2011:

The online coupon site Groupon.com and flower company FTD Group Inc. are offering refunds after getting complaints that a Valentine's Day flower deal wasn't so sweet.

Both companies said they didn't do anything wrong, but they responded to Internet complaints that FTD inflated prices for some Groupon customers who used a coupon for $20 off an FTD flower purchase of $40 or more.

The problem surfaced when several Groupon customers found the flowers they bought were priced lower as sale items on FTD's own website. They complained on the Groupon site and the Internet that FTD was making up for the Groupon discount by jacking up the prices.

The whole story is here:

Screw that. Too many horror stories and I was disappointed miserably with what I got 2 years ago with them. It was only like an extra $5-$10 to stay local for everybody I sent to last year and extra money well spent.

Farking embarrassing to have raggedy weeds show up as a gift to somebody. Hey thanks for the brown patchy sticks f**k you too honey!!

"I care just enough to send whatever the cheapest crappiest garbage looking s*** the florist has out of obligation on a hallmark holiday" was not the sentiment I was going for.






No. Not quite.

When you go into Kohls and crap is jacked up it's jacked up for EVERYBODY, not just you.

Not only is the extra special rip off price just for you, but they already have your damn money so you can't just walk out as even as you went in.

They purchased with the expectation of $20 off $40, what they got was $20 off of $50-$60.

Anyone in their right mind will avoid this..

last year was a complete and utter diaster and this year will be no different...

you have been warned

In regard to the above^ sentiments...

Did this problem occur for anyone other than those ordering on Valentine's day (for those that may know) ?
All constructive input requested, please and thanks!

Will the 'shoprunner' stack /w the groupon code? If so I think this is a great deal. Has anyone tried it?
