Ordering flowers or a gift online can be a very thoughtful, convenient way to send a gift to someone. Most of the online flower delivery services online also offer to have gifts delivered, as well as flowers. Here are some of the benefits you might want to look for when comparing flower delivery services online.

1. Compare prices - Some of the florists online have great price fluctuations. Decide which type of flower arrangement you want and then make sure to compare 2-3 different florists online to make sure that you are getting an affordable price.

2. Same Day Delivery - Oftentimes, if you order before the afternoon, the flower delivery service should be able to get your flowers delivered on the same day. This is a nice perk to look for. Some of the flower delivery services can sometimes even do same day delivery with Canadian and other international locations.

3. Message Service - Most online florists will allow you to put a personalized message on the card. Online, this can be convenient because it can be a field that you just fill in when completing your online floral order.

4. Delivery Fees - Usually the floral delivery fee is not included in the price on the flower delivery companies website. Usually the delivery fees start at between $6-$10 or more. It depends on what you are ordering as well. Figure out what floral arrangement you are looking for and then compare the prices with the delivery fees.

Most online florists will deliver anywhere domestic or international, from San Francisco to New York to Canada, Hong Kong or Malaysia.
