I always prefer to shop local, however, living in Portland makes shopping in Westlake Ohio a little challenging. I have had horrible experiences the last half dozen times ordering flowers online so now I Google local flower shops in the area I'm having them delivered. TIP - You save on the delivery charge by doing this as well!
Natalie took my order today. She ran through a list of all the wonderful seasonal flowers they have in right now (because of the Easter holiday). They all sounded beautiful to me so I decided to go with the "daily deal" for my friend's birthday bouquet. I could not have received better customer service. She described the flowers to me, I gave her a price that I did not want to exceed, and she's working her magic as we speak. She even gave me an ETA as to when the flowers will be delivered to my friends house........TODAY! Yup, TODAY! Same day delivery with zero price gauging. Thank you Flower Port for accommodating this last minute customer. Now THAT is something that will keep me coming back to this local shop whenever I need flowers on the west side.
Thanks Natalie and Flower Port. I will recommend you to all my friends and family back in NE Ohio!
