With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, you may be in search of websites where you can order flowers that will arrive on or before Valentine’s day. Ordering flowers online can save you the time and hassle of going to a florist in your area, and often, you’ll have a wider variety and selection of options if you order online.
However, there are so many sites where you can order flowers online, so it can be difficult to find the best ones. Today, we’ll tell you about our top 5 recommendations for the best flower delivery services, and tell you what we like about each of them.
What makes a flower delivery service great?
You shouldn’t have to spend an excess amount of time and money to order a bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day. For each flower delivery service, we will rate them on their affordability, shipping, and reliability.
Affordability
How expensive is it to order through this service? We’ll be comparing the cost of 1 dozen roses on each website so you can get an idea of the price point of each service.
Shipping

Reliability
What do customers think of the service? Do orders get sent on time? Can you trust the service to deliver (pun intended)?
In our list below, we’ll go over how each service ranks for each of these criteria. Which ones are worth your money? Which is the most convenient? Let’s see how these flower delivery services measure up.

Those are all of the best flower delivery services where you can order flowers to arrive for Valentine’s Day! Our #1 recommendation is FTD.com – they have the best prices, a money-back guarantee, and offer both same-day and international delivery options. A close second is ProFlowers.com – while their prices are a little higher than FTD, they also offer other gifts besides just flowers, and they also offer same-day or international shipping. Teleflora, 1-800-Flowers, and Grower Direct are also great options, but their bouquets tend to be more on the pricey side. Whichever one of these 5 flower delivery services you go for, we hope one of them works for you!
