Barensden is also dutch supplier in UK if you buy from them you can access thier site and buy on line click on flower, colour variety and price all come up they are our main supplier and quality is very good also no problem with getting credit if ever you have a problem we have had very few

We use Metz, probably not everyones cup of tea, but we have not had a problem and the quality has been excellant, but there flowers are not the cheapest. We top up from the local wholesalers if we run short. What I do like is the ordering system. We can sit at the computer on a night time when it is quiet. Hope my limited knowledge is of help.

Previous shop I worked in used Metz and yes were a little more expensive but quality was better than the previous supplier and we could have kept stock just in shop for anything up to a month quality definately overcame the cost

I was so nervous that some one might say your talking rubbish. I do have an eye for quality and at the moment Metz is working out OK for us. Some of there prices are a little steep, but we pick and choose. I have had a look at other companies and some of there stock is dearer. I think it is swings and roundabouts with them all. What counts for us is the amount of people who open the shop door and say how long they have lasted, and how satisfied they are.

Yes I know what you mean our problem our delivery costs were expensive but when customers first purchased they were soon telling friends and so we gained more customers as the quality overcame the cost although the quality from barensden is also very good and yes we have to pick and choose as well
