With Mothers Day around the corner and money being tight, should we take advantage of free shipping? Free shipping when offered by flower and gift companies as an incentive for us to purchase from a vendor, so when contemplating taking advantage of the offer we need to look at a few things.
Firstly, who are we buying for? Well at this time of year we are generally going to be buying for our mothers or a mother in our lives. Some mothers simply appreciate anything that their offspring may give them and so buying flowers with a free shipping promotion would seem like a reasonable solution. However, we then must look at who we are buying from. Is the company reputable, are they a local, national or international brand and do we trust that brand? Most delivery services give their guarantees on their web pages and so I suggest that you look there. Also if they are a national or international brand they have a reputation to uphold and so therefore we can assume that if they were to deliver the flowers late or in a dishevelled fashion then they would slowly lose that reputation. Buying a gift basket with free shipping is less likely to disappoint than when sending flowers as flowers can dehydrate very quickly in this weather.
Most goods that are offered with free shipping are high end products so the cost of shipping is usually included in the price anyway. But the reputation of the vendor must still be checked. Mothers day is a once a year occasion and, being such, it is paramount that the gift is delivered in good order as even with the guarantee, a spoilt presentation of your gift cannot be rectified with a refund. Of course there is one way to get around the problem of whether or not to take advantage of the free shipping offer and that is to deliver the flowers or gift basket yourself; I'm sure that your mother would appreciate this much more. Happy Mothers Day to all.
