Many small flower enterprises, that make attempts of direct purchasing at farms frequently face unexpected problems.
Working with a lot of farms at the same time.
Small flower buyers used not to lack possibilities to work with many farms. The range that 2 or 3 farms may offer, can hardly cover the current need of the product. It may happen that a key purchase at the necessary farm is impossible.
That may be the reason of a temprorary seasonal quality drop or a simple lack of communication that may be the reason a farm does not give the range and volume needed. One can not exclude the situation that a big re-seller buys all teh flowers destinated for a smaller client.
That is why Daoflowers lowers these risks by working wth more than 200 farms at a regular basis and uses 50 more for active open-market purchase during maximal demand fluctuations. Thanks to a wide range of farms Daoflowers can complete your order with the flowers from the best farmsaccording to clients preferences, and the prices will be quite competent.
Logistics
As a rule growers do not provides logistics. They just deliver the boxes to the cargo agency determined by te client, and here their responsibility ends. However there are some exclusions, when the farms do their best to deliver boxes to th client directly, but it would be better to confide your boxes to a specialist.
