LIVING SOCIAL DEALS Today Only = $10 for $30 Pro Flowers GC, NFL Team Doormats $14ac shipped

Quote from HomerThompson : I was just about to post this. And don't forget the tax! So basically you save $20 bucks on this deal but they get it back on delivery/ handling and the price hike of their product. Td

If you're willing to have Valentine's day flowers delivered on the 13th when delivery seems to be cheaper (I'm just sending them home, not to work), is there any value to be had here? Or should I just go to my local supermarket (I assume these are supermarket-quality flowers).

Thanks.

For those wondering, if you order just the basic dozen roses ($30), with LS voucher and flexible delivery (on either 2/13 or 2/14), your end total cost including the LS voucher is $25.

After checking out with the LS voucher I saw that I was getting eaten alive by shipping / handling. Requested a refund for the LS voucher and will probably buy locally.

$16 shipping on a box of cookies? What a ripoff!

The Proflowers deal is pretty decent when stacked with %50 off the price of 100 Blooms [proflowers.com]. With LS deal, they are $15.98 shipped. This bouquet is $42.97 shipped from amazon [amazon.com].

Put the lilies in your shopping cart, and then follow the livingsocial proflowers link [proflowers.com] and go to your shopping cart to redeem the living social voucher.

My total was:
Flowers: $19.99
Vase: $6.99
Delivery: $15.99
LS Discount: -$30
Proflowers total: $12.97
LS voucher: $10
Total: $22.97 (would be $15.98 without vase)
My wife's delight upon receiving a nice bouquet of Peruvian lilies delivered to her at work for our anniversary: $Priceless

The shipping isn't really a reason to give a TD, as it's not a scam or a way to get the discount back -- all online florists that I've ever used have high delivery fees.

not the best selection, but these have free shipping...

Quote from stardrops : I was searching for "bears" and I found this... http://www.proflowers.com/mpmradi...+Listeners! Turns out Bear O'Brian (whoever he is) will get you a free glass vase. The discount is shown in the basket. Happy valentines day shopping!

Could not get the free vase to work, its one or the other. But I discovered that with a purchase of a vase they drop the $3 handling charge, so a $7 vase ends up costing $4.

Thanks, repped! Got the living social coupon for $1 after a $9 credit I've had for over a year.

True but its not -$20 off once a company raises the costs for shipping, handling, and their products. And as someone else mentioned in this thread the costs has been raised for this promotion.

just did a test order of "100 blooms of love" with 6 dollar vase and the shipping was 12.99 plus 2.99 handling...

I ended up going with the valentine's day chocolate strawberries from Shari's Berries.
Went to FW to get a link for $5 off plus 10% cash back.
Went through and redeemed the voucher, chose the flexible delivery.
Total out of pocket = $29.72 plus whatever cash back comes from it, $3.50 maybe?
So $26ish delivered for a dozen berries originally advertised for $40 seems pretty reasonable. They are pretty tasty.

That could be nice, 30 tulips for $20 shipped after the giftcard
