Best place to order flowers from the US to be delivered in Israel
« on: September 19, 2011, 09:18:25 AM »
I'd like to send flowers to a bunch of relatives in Israel. Does anyone have any good experiences with any companies online?  Or should I just go through FTD or something?

Might be cheaper to pay a yeshiva bochur (preferably one you know) to go buy some flowers from a nice store and deliver them (one store I like is the one right off tzomet bar ilan).

That would for sure be cheaper.  But not all my relatives are located in Yerushalayim. They are scattered all over. So I have to order them.

Depending on how much it would cost, it might still be cheaper (and also allow you to get nicer flowers for less) to pay someone for their time and bus fare...You could probably get someone to do it for 20 NIS an hour...

Not saying this is the best way, just an alternative.
