Shopping Tips for Flower.com: Coupon/Promo Codes, Sales and Free Shipping

What is Flower.com Flower.com is a floral network based in Los Angeles, CA. THEY ARE NOT A FLORIST! They coordinate floral deliveries all over the United States and much of the rest of the world. In fact, the main two locations you can't send flowers to are Post Office Box Addresses and APO/FPO addresses. As such, you won't pay any tax on your order UNLESS IT IS SHIPPING TO CALIFORNIA.

What does Flower.com sell? Flowers, of course! More than that that though, you can also purchase gift baskets containing spa products, gourmet foods and regional cuisines, cookies, cakes, balloons, teddy bears and cakes at flower.com. The various flowers are fulfilled by subscribing florists in flower.com's network. Gift baskets will be sent in the post.

Flower.com Shipping Deliveries from Flower.com start at $9.99 and depend upon whether or not expedited delivery is required, the type of product and other factors. Flower.com prides itself on paying great attention to funeral flowers. They liaise with funeral homes regarding viewing information and delivery times and will even look up the exact address of the funeral home and / or zip code if you are unable to provide it. Be sure to specify if this is the purpose of your flower order: also if it is a birthday or anniversary delivery as it was noted that they do show special attention towards birthday and anniversary floral orders. Flower.com DOES offer Sunday delivery: this is not a common thing in the floral delivery world! Flower.com operates a floral network that also allows them to deliver flowers to most destinations worldwide. In fact, the only destinations explicitly stated on flower.com they they CANNOT deliver to are Post Office Box Addresses and APO / FPO addresses.

Earn some extra cash as a delivery.com partner

With the economic situation many people find themselves in currently, everyone is looking to make a little extra cash. The website delivery.com offers a great way to accomplish this. Depending on the level of commitment you're willing to sign on with, you'll earn a portion of delivery.com commissions for advertisers and merchants you recruit.

Delivery.com is a website that offers online ordering and delivery for local restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, alchoholic beverages, household products, personal goods, flowers and gifts. The types of products available for delivery will depend on your exact street address and zip code. After you enter your information, relevant categories with participating merchants will have their links in yellow (inactive categories will be colored grey). If you don't see your favorite restaurant, grocer, florist, gift shop, wine merchant or convenience store, don't fret. This lack of your favorite shop is your opportunity to make some cash!

So.. how can you make money off this? First, you have to fill out the free application form available at the delivery.com website. Choose your level of membership: bronze, silver or gold. What are the differences between these membership levels? Commitment. At the core of it, you pledge to do no harm to delivery.com or its reputation. For the silver level, you have to agree to not discourage any of your referrals from continued participation with delivery.com. The gold level of membership additionally requires you to not take any "pre emptive" measures concerning business opportunities that may present themselves to delivery.com. For example, say a restaurant that you referred to delivery.com is friendly with the florist down the road and sometimes offers a combo deal on surf & turf meals with a dozen roses. If you try to present the florist as another recruit to delivery.com (when delivery.com is aware of this said florist and the pursuant business opportunity) you would be in violation of your agreement. Of course there are more terms to the agreement and you should visit delivery.com yourself and read the "fine print" to understand all the terms, but the above information is the basic gist of things.

How much money do you stand to make? It varies upon your membership level. (Note: you can change membership levels at any time, your royalties will reflect your active membership level at the time of the merchant signing with delivery.com). Bronze memberships offer 25% of the delivery.com commission. Silver memberships reward you with 35% of delivery.com's commission. And gold memberships? They pay 50% of the delivery.com commission. You can even double-dip if you've referred both the customer and the merchant!

You might not get rich, but you can easily make some spare cash and keep seeing royalty payments for years afterwards!
