Thanks Apple & Floralpride

I do love positive feedback. We are improving too, over the next 8 weeks we will be increasing our range and already have over 1000 new products ordered including new ribbons, large & small greeting cards, xmas goods, cello & wraps and lots more balloons. I will put them on the site as soon as I can.

We are moving to a much bigger cash & carry in Burtonwood, Warrington in 2 weeks. I will have a word with the boss (Dad) and see if I can do some kind of offer for Florist News members

Thanks you guys!

I cant wait to get the Christmas stock on the shelves! btw if anyone has any feedback on our site I would love to hear it, good or bad. Any products you would like us to stock? We aim to be the lowest priced supplier of florist sundries in the UK. I realise we cant be cheaper on every single product but damn it im gonna try anyway!

Thanks Amandalou

As soon as we move I will have lots of shelf space so will have a mooch and hopefully increase the range. cb import the i-l-m pots themselves and I think the plaques too so until I am able to import them myself then they have me beat on those im affraid

I have'nt seen the mini book things, I will see if I can find them.

BUT some of the online stores have a min spend and it dosent help when you just need a few of the items they supply........its ok if you have a huge store room to bulk buy to reach the min spend, but i dont and as i found out a few weeks ago with an online store for florists they would not help !!!!
(tries to thinks who it was ???? too much has happend since then!)

Hi Flower

I assume you mean me? We have a minimum spend of £75 + vat and we do get some complaints about this but as a wholesaler our margins really are quite low and often the orders take a long time to process. I know some other sundries sites have a lower minimum order value but most of their products are more expensive than ours!

If you need to make up the order value I would recommend some of the following products...

Oasis ideal bricks x 20 £7.50
Flower food x 1000 £12.50
white envelopes x 1000 £7.50
2" ribbon x 100yards (APAC) 99p
cardettes x 100 99p
florist trays x 100 £10
Chrysal leafshine lge £2.99
pot tape 39p/75p
Stemtex x 12 rolls £3.95
parafilm x 12 rolls £5.95
foil balloons 90p
scotch cellotape x 6 rolls £1.99

As i said i really can not remember who it was, so please dont assume anything.
I buy as and when sunderies are needed (dead money to be sat there)
if i need items for a bride, i dont want to have to spend more money than what is needed

I did assume, sorry. It just read that way to me. I think it might have been me though! Beads on a roll? Either way I just wanted to explain why online wholesalers have minimums.
