FTD.Com Post Sparks A Rush Of Comments
I am amazed that my post about my problems with FTD.com brought more comments to me than any other post in the two plus years of this Blog.
I presume the reason is that readers are heavy users of ecommerce sites and can relate to the problem I had with FTD.com? Notice that I said "problem I had." I never heard back from FTD.com via email or by phone to resolve the non-delivery issue. Thus today I resorted to the phone to try to get a refund. After a 22 minute wait, in which I repeatedly heard that FTD.com was having a "holiday problem", a customer service rep admitted he had no idea why the flowers were not delivered and that he was refunding my money.
Alas, enough of FTD.com. I might try Proflowers.com in the future, but that might take more courage than I can muster!

As it turns out, online flower sales actually declined this year. Over on your internetnews.com site we've got an article on online mother's day retail stats. Perhaps you would have had better success with jewelry.
