All 2 Documented Cases
High Wire Service Commissions and Fees
$X per order (significant portion of earnings, exact % not quantified)Florists using FTD and Teleflora wire services relay orders from customers but must pay significant commissions and fees to the intermediary for each fulfilled order. This reduces the net revenue retained by the local florist after processing wire service orders. Florists report that a substantial portion of earnings from these orders is surrendered to the wire service.[1]
Quality Inconsistencies and Delivery Issues in Wire Orders
Costly reputation damage (quantified as expensive to repair)Wire services relay orders to local florists, but loss of control leads to quality inconsistencies, communication gaps, and unreliable delivery experiences. This results in poor customer satisfaction, damaged brand reputation, and potential loss of repeat business from wire service customers. Florists suffer reputational harm from factors outside their direct control.[3]
