hope this link works...its not my 'wholesaler for suplies/sundries but one of my favorite companies I buy from!

My wholesaler for sundries/supplies is Fleuregio in Hengelo, Netherlands...can't get link to work, but you'll get the idea if you google them!! So you'd have to get a few more 'my taste' stuff if you want my order!!(not being 'snarky' here..just telling it the way it is!!)

As far as pints and beer goes, I'm a sucker for Guiness as well as Martini!! (Ever had a Heinieken on a hot summer day? HEAVEN!!)

Too bad about the bio-produkts...a shame that it costs so much to do a little for the environment!! Do you know why they are so expensive over there?
C'mon mapletree you underestimate me!


One thing i have learned in this trade is no two florists are the same but im sure most would agree there are many 'types' of florist. And i feel its important to stress not just 'good' & 'bad'. We try to offer something for all but understand you cant please all the people all the time. Some florists we supply can sell hundreds of cheap silk bunches per week whilst others can get £50 for a glass vase with a few quality stems. I believe both have a place in todays market and both can turn a good profit (though its getting harder). Our site is very much price orientated (who doesnt want cheap sundries?)

I will swap you a pint of guinness for a marvelous pint of Erdinger. My fav beer, i just love it!

I think bio products will become cheaper here when demand rises.

I hope you like it! The delivery prices are for UK mainland but i think were quite reasonable for Ireland...

Northern Ireland

Orders £75-150 = £12-15 (depending on size/weight of order)

Orders £150+ = £4-7

Republic of Ireland

Orders £75-150 = £17-25

Orders £150+ = £9-17

Thanks Honey

yes thanks Col, everything was present and correct, and very reasonable I thought compared to the other wholesalers I use, some of the things i wanted to buy were "currently out of stock" though on your website which is a bit annoying, I am liking the corsage wrist band very much and will be putting another order in for more of them for the prom coming up in June so will definately be using you again

Oh good! The 'out of stock' situation will get better when we move premises in a couple of months. Were really struggling for space at the mo so are limited to how much stock we can carry. Were moving to a big unit in Burtonwood so will be handy for the M62 too. Cant wait!

Hi Honey,

Southern Ireland takes a little bit longer, we post most orders out same/next day on a 2-3 day service (parcel force or Montgomery distribution depending on the size of the order). So a total of 2-4 working days from the time the order is placed. Hope we can do business! Oh btw if you did order now it would take a bit longer as we close throughout the bank holiday.

Thanks,

Hotdog
