As a retail florist, I get asked about the best way to send flowers to other countries throughout the world. Before the internet, the best way was going through a local florist that was a member of a wire service, like FTD or Teleflora.

Although you can still do that, the internet makes international flower delivery easier - but not foolproof. There are still obstacles for the consumer when sending flowers overseas - like the language barrier, currency conversion, and transaction security.

That’s why I was very excited when Fleurop.com launched its website, some ten or so years ago. I recommended the site to all my customers looking to send flowers overseas, because of the savings involved. I even posted an informational article about it here.

But many of those that I recommended the site to back then, wanted us place the order for them, rather than doing it themselves. Part of that was because some people just weren’t confident using the internet, and the site was difficult to use. Even though I felt it was easy to use, I could see why others didn’t feel the same.

But recently, Fleurop.com has undergone a complete makeover, making it much more user-friendly to navigate. They’ve kept all of the best features of the old site, like an online currency converter, as well as being able to shop in five languages, English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian.

If you have visited Fleurop.com before, you will notice the changes instantly, but the new look is more than just a facelift.

Site security is now tested and certified daily to make sure it is hacker-safe. Plus, they’ve added new features such as a three-step order process and product image enlargement!

Over the next few weeks or so, they’ll be adding more services and features, designed to make your online shopping even more convenient.

I like the changes they’ve made - especially the clean new interface and enhanced product selections. If you haven’t checked out it out yet, I’d encourage you to take another look, and let me know what you think.
