Types of flowers and bouquets
FTD has a very large selection of flowers and bouquets. You can order themed bouquets for anniversaries, graduations, funerals, holidays, and more. You can also shop by flower type or bouquet color. FTD also has non-flowering plants such as succulents, bonsai trees, and bamboo.
The exact selection available will depend on your delivery location and may change seasonally.
Other offerings
FTD offers fruit baskets, chocolate baskets, other food-themed gifts, and flowers. You can also purchase gifts like spa baskets, teddy bear sets, and candles.
There are some ready-made flower and gift pairings for specific occasions. For example, you can buy a bouquet of roses and a teddy bear together to celebrate a birthday or Valentine’s Day.
FTD Pricing
FTD’s bouquet prices range from around $40-$200. Most bouquets have multiple price tiers available—higher-priced tiers of the same bouquet typically have more flowers and less greenery and may come in a nicer vase. You should expect to spend around $60-$125 for FTD’s best-selling bouquets.
FTD charges a delivery fee of $19.99. There’s an extra $4.99 fee for same-day deliveries. If you plan to make multiple orders from FTD in a year, it’s worth considering an FTD Plus subscription. This costs $39.99 per year and gives you free shipping on all orders within the US.
How to Send Flowers with FTD
It is easy to order flowers with FTD. You can start by choosing your delivery zip code and date, which will filter the product catalog to only products that can be sent where and when you need them. When adding an item to your cart, you must confirm the delivery date. Then, you can check out online and track your order’s progress using your order confirmation number.
FTD can deliver to all 50 states and more than 80 countries worldwide. Bouquets are made and delivered by local florists, so your bouquet can vary somewhat from the photos on FTD’s website.
FTD doesn’t offer recurring orders, but placing multiple orders is easy. If you plan to order flowers more than once or twice a year, I recommend signing up for an FTD Plus subscription to eliminate delivery fees.
Is FTD Legit?
FTD has been in business since 1910 and shares a parent company with ProFlowers, From You Flowers, and SendFlowers.
FTD has a 3.4-star rating on Trustpilot after more than 900 reviews. Many negative reviews specify that the flowers received didn’t match what was ordered. This can happen since FTD uses local florists rather than preparing all flowers in a centralized location. The benefit of this approach is that every bouquet is freshly prepared on the delivery date.
What’s Unique About FTD?
FTD can ship flowers to all 50 states, with same-day delivery available for a wide range of products in most cities. On top of that, you can use FTD to send flowers abroad in more than 80 countries. It’s a great solution if you want to send flowers to friends and family overseas for a big occasion.
Help and Support
FTD offers 24/7 phone support. You can also contact them via a contact form on the company’s website. I contacted FTD and was able to speak to a helpful representative immediately.
FTD’s website also has an online help center with FAQs and a guide to tracking your order. In addition, there’s a guide that explains how to care for your flowers to keep them fresh for as long as possible.
Bottom Line
FTD offers an enormous selection of flowers, plants, and gift baskets for every occasion. You can have flowers delivered to all 50 states and more than 80 countries worldwide. Same-day delivery is available in most locations.
FTD can be expensive, and the flowers you get don’t always perfectly match the photos on the website. However, I like that FTD works with local florists to create bouquets, ensuring flowers are always delivered fresh. If you want high-quality bouquets delivered fast, FTD is a great choice.
