Florists are also human beings

It was 4 AM in and I was sleeping at my home. Suddenly my phone rang. The lady on the other side asked me if we could deliver flowers at Hari Nagar (a small and congested locality in West Delhi) before 8 AM.I was in my sleep but still I replied her that indeed we could deliver at 8 AM at Hari Nagar. Now this lady did not clarified that she wants delivery on that same day. It was only when we reached office at around 9 AM, we saw that flower order. I have been educating flower buyers on many occasions that they should order at least 24 hours in advance. All orders to be delivered early morning are completed one day prior and kept in climate cool fridge.So if you want to send flowers at 8 AM on 2nd December, that order should reach us by 1st December at 8 AM. We florists are also human beings, we also have families and we also need rest.

Sending flowers to United States and Canada from India

There are very few florists in Delhi who take up orders for delivery of flowers to United States and Canada. They do not have a proper network for this. Even if they take orders, they are dependent on other florist (not the ones who are going to deliver but middleman who have a contacts in United States and Canada) to do this job. Mostly the job is not done properly (many people in the chain) and often the cost gets hiked. We are the only florists in Delhi who have direct contact with florists in USA and Canada and can deliver flowers same day. Consider this. Today is birthday or anniversary of your relative or a friend who is in USA or Canada.You just forgot about it and at 5 PM , you just recalled it. Now what do you do? Surely help is at hand. Call me at 9971706677 (Delhi number) and ask for Daman (that's me). I can still deliver flowers to them (we are in different time zone and it is still 12 hours for the date to pass).
