#large purchases

[scriptflorist]

Hi, if a customer wanted a large quantity of the same flower, like 200 or more pots could florists do that?

If you mean a cut flower? Then depending on the flower being in season and the amount of time they have to source the flowers, yes. It might cost a lot if they have to source outside of normal channels or it’s needed especially quickly or when the flower isn’t in season in their area. I once purchased a very small amount of lily-of-the-valley for wedding when it wasn’t in season in the US and had to pay like $80 for the one small bunch to be imported from Holland. If you mean a large quantity of potted plants, then a nursery would be a better place for your character to get them. The florist could possibly still do it, but a greenhouse or nursery is going to have a better supply chain for large quantities of potted plants.~*Mod Den*~

Coming from a florist who works for a big company, I´m talking flower supermarket big - sure. I’ve never had it happen, but it might just be the one scenario where someone would be able to barter with us for a discount. Cause we can’t give that unless someone intends to buy a whole cc container full of flowers or more. The only catch here is that it would have to be a) something we have regularly in stock and b) something in season. Since my employer for perhaps obvious reasons doesn’t go to wholesaler but immediately buys up whole fields and has their own contracts with the gardeners.

This actually might be a catch too, though I don’t consider it one, but they can’t just can’t months in advance to place their order. Their best bet is to come a week in advance of when they will need the plants so we can order them on time for the right date. For good measure, we’ll say they want the plants on a Saturday but come on Monday. Means we’ll order them Monday for Friday cause that’s the closest delivery day to Saturday and ensures the best quality for the buyer.

Customers are not able to buy up front with us though, which is mostly for their own safety so just in case something happens (perhaps the order is not available, or perhaps the truck rolls over who knows, not us) nobody owes anyone money. The only exceptions are orders of bouquets that have already been picked out and are needed the next day. We might not necessarily make the right after the purchase but it sure makes it easier on both ends if all the customer has to do the next day is walk in and pick it up.

Using credit cards for large purchases can be smart if done wisely. It helps in managing cash flow, earning rewards, and even getting interest-free periods. However, responsible usage is key to avoiding debt. Here are some of the smart ways to use credit cards for large purchases.

Choose the Right Card – Use a credit card with cashback, reward points, or 0% interest EMI options to maximize benefits.

Check Your Credit Limit – Ensure your credit limit is enough to cover the purchase without exceeding utilization limits.

Use EMI Options – Convert large purchases into manageable monthly installments to avoid financial strain.

Pay on Time – Always pay your dues before the due date to avoid high-interest charges and maintain a good credit score.

Utilize Offers & Discounts – Many credit cards provide exclusive discounts on electronics, travel, and shopping—take advantage of them.

I just ordered a couch. It is the single biggest purchase I have made as an individual and that’s a little terrifying. But it is time, our Ilea couch is dying and is want something that will last a little better. But hoo boy is it nerve wracking.

But this also means my furniture shopping for the living room is almost at an end. So yay. Hopefully I won’t have to do it for another 20 years.

Which credit card suits you?

Credit cards get a bad press but used in the right way they can actually help to manage funds more effectively as well as actually save money in some cases.

However, the key is ensuring that you obtain the right kind of credit card for your needs.

To do this it is vital that you are honest with yourself about how you will use the card. There is little point promising that you will keep it just for emergencies if you know you are likely to splurge every now and again.

There are many ways in which credit cards can be used without racking up insurmountable debts.

Some individuals like to use it to purchase all their monthly expenses, such as shopping, fuel etc and pay off the balance in full each month.

Others use credit cards for large items that would be difficult to afford in one go, whilst some people use their card purely as a source of emergency funds.

An increasing group of people opt to reduce their debts by clever use of offers from lenders and it is also possible to rebuild a bad credit rating by using credit cards for bad credit.

As a general rule, credit card firms are desperate to attract new customers and offer great incentives in a bid to lure people in. However, no matter how great the incentive sounds, you need to match your credit card habits with the right kind of offer in order to benefit.

For example, there are many interest-free or low rate interest cards currently on offer. Whilst this may sound like a good card to apply for, if you repay your balance in full every month you will never feel the benefits.

Customers who always repay their balance and use their card regularly would be better off opting for a kind that offers loyalty points or cash back for regular use; this could potentially end up saving them money.

On the other hand, credit card holders that only use their plastic infrequently and for large purchases will not find a card that offers a great loyalty scheme much use and would be far better off focusing on a lower interest rate.

The interest rate on offer is also one of the main features that individuals hoping to manage their debts more effectively look out for.

Anyone with a relatively good credit record should be able to obtain acceptance from the lenders offering 0% APR deals. By transferring existing debt to a credit card that charges no interest, balances can be repaid far more quickly and at little cost. The only drawback to this is that it is essential to take any balance transfer costs into account. If these are hefty, it can wipe out any savings.

Those who have had financial problems in the past and find themselves excluded from the financial market can start to rebuild their credit rating by using credit cards for bad credit. This kind of plastic charges a much higher interest rate but lenders are willing to consider applicants deemed to be a higher risk.

Whilst this might sound like a bad idea, taking out a card like this and ensuring the balance is repaid in full each month means that not only will the interest rate not affect you, the regular use and repayments will quickly rack up points on your credit file.

Finally, those individuals who use credit cards for several different purposes may find the best way to maximise the benefits and minimise the interest is to hold several different cards, with varying benefits and interest rates and keep their spending separate. Just don’t forget which card is which!
