Fund Flowers

What a great business model: Fund Flowers donates 100% of its profit to charity! That’s what motivated me to do business with them, even thought they have very few reviews on Unilocal.
I was travelling on the west coast when one of my travel companions wanted to get flowers delivered to a family friend in Toronto. I decided to take a chance on Fund Flowers based on their business model, couple 5 star reviews on Unilocal,and easy to navigate website.
The recipient informed us that he’d be available during a narrow window of time the day the flowers were supposed to be delivered. I called Fund Flowers to inquire if it would be possible to accommodate my request. The lady I spoke to was very professional and helpful. She mentioned that because the next day was Mother’s Day, it might be a bit tight, but they’d do their best.
They not only delivered the flowers as promised, but also went twice to the recipient’s house to ensure that the flowers got delivered during the time frame specified.
I had ordered a deluxe basket of sunny daisies for $ 65. I had a chance to view them in person later, and was happy with my choice as were our family friends.
Profits from my sale were donated to White Ribbon Canada.
Great job Fund Flowers!

Wanted to send someone flowers while I was out of the country. This site seemed the most budget friendly while also being of good quality. I only had the Tamar’s review to go on but I decided to take the chance and trust it. VERY HAPPY THAT I DID.
I ordered a rose to be sent the day after the order (although same day deliver is also an option) and asked that they deliver them any time after 12pm. The next day the delivery man called while at the front door to see if anyone was home and seemed happy to wait while roommates were called. The flowers were very well received, especially as it included a gigantic bar of chocolate that I hadn’t anticipated!
No extra charges are included in the price that you see on their website: not tax or delivery, it’s all inclusive. This was a great shop to go with, would definitely recommend!

This little google-​search of a florist blew my mind.
A few weeks ago, my sister unexpectedly found herself in the hospital for one of those little freaky styley things that sound worse then they are when caught early, though wouldn’t have stayed if those oracles at Toronto Western hadn’t made her. A week hooked-​up to a blood thinner later, and she’s back to good.
My brother and I wanted to send her some flowers from our perch in Boston, and I scoured the internet looking for something appropriate and not insanely pocket-​gouging – and lo and behold, up pops Fund Flowers. I was so distracted by their incredible prices (to wit: flowers, teddy bear, Mylar balloon, and delivery? $ 60 CAN) that I didn’t even notice until the last page of paying that 10% of my purchase could go straight to Toronto Western Hospital, my sister’s saviors. I clicked back a few pages and saw that ALL of their proceeds to to charities, and that they, a competitive Toronto florist, are in fact a non-​profit. How awesome is that?
So then I had to add a wrinkle – she was released from the hospital early, so how was I possibly going to catch this online delivery guy and reroute him to her home address? Why, a simple phone call with a lovely woman, who drew up my account in seconds and called the delivery guy to make the correction before I was even off the phone with her.
Okay, you’re thinking – good value, excellent mission, nice people, organized business… the flowers must be shite, though, right? Well, I haven’t seen them first hand, but reports have told that they were fresh and beautifully arranged. The website is a little clip-​arty and the selection isn’t the greatest, but if this arrangement was any indication, they do the job admirably and competitively.
If businesses like this are losing out to for-​profit jerks, then there really is something seriously wrong with humanity. High time for a paradigm shift, says I. Who’s with me?
