Here’s a “deal” on Mother’s Day and post-Mother’s Day florals:  an FTD package that’s 57% off:  Spend $15 and receive $35 worth of gifts on Mother’s Day, or spend $12 and receive $30 worth of gifts post-Mother’s Day.  Yikes!  The delivery charges equal the actual gift!  But if you don’t live close enough to hand carry something, you can be assured that the product you order will be delivered in time.  If there’s a problem with the arrangement delivered, just call and report it.  My mom got a flower arrangement delivered for her birthday last month through Fedex; they put the box on her front porch and left.  Since she only opens the front door for mail and newspapers, who knows how long the box had been sitting there?  Looked sad…but they made it whole.
