2. Always check to see if the vendor has a customer service or contact page.
This is a very important point simply because it verifies the credibility of the site by allowing you to talk with someone in person.
3. A testimonials page is a good point. Someone's word can always give you an indication of the level of satisfaction and service that is provided. Even though they tend to be a little bias, it still goes to show that there is a strong customer base.
4. Make sure they offer secure payment.
Most sites do offer this, but doing a double check can save you from future problems if your personal details are not protected. Keep a look out for payments accepted by PayPal, WorldPay, BPay, etc.
5. Make sure they offer an efficient and fast delivery service. You should bear in mind that flowers are perishable goods and at times can survive no more than a week at room temperature. They should always look fresh on arrival, and this ensured through a shop's network of international florists.
Deliveries should take on average 3 business days.
