Title: Need help from Dutch posters
Post by: Baron von Schtinkenbutt on October 20, 2014, 04:19:04 PM
So, my wife will be arriving in Amsterdam tomorrow.  She will be there over our anniversary, so I would like to arrange for flower delivery to her hotel.  What is a good online option for ordering flowers in Amsterdam?  I found onlineflowers.nl (http://www.onlineflowers.nl/); this is a good option?  Any other alternatives that an unwashed American can use?

Find someone from Languish who lives there.

Have them send flowers.

Paypal cash to them.

Check Interflora. It's an international network.

Why not get one of those super stealthy Russian frogman to infiltrate the canals and deliver a present that way?   :ph34r:

I would totally do this. For the right price, obviously.
However, I will be abroad until the 29th.

I think the Dutch Interflora branch would be a safe bet: www.fleurop.nl
Seems to in Dutch only, though.
Www.Amsterdamflowers.nl is one of their partners and seems to have the right credentials.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with, I should have internet access every evening.

If that would have been any other clip I would have been disappointed.  As it is,   :D

Thanks to Maladict, I was able to get the address in correctly and they got there.  Unfortunately, Euro flower sites suck.  :P  Maladict's suggestion refused to take my money; I ended up ordering through fleurop.com.  Their site is shit too, but at least I was able to enter payment info. <_<

Sorry about that, I expected them to have the usual payment options.
Anyway, glad it worked out eventually.  :)

Bit late, but I would have said get the hotel to arrange it, then they could have put them in her room with a vase and everything #askagirl

They did.  It was their website.  No matter what payment option I selected, I was not given a place to enter anything, and the button to move on to the next screen refused to do anything.  No error; it just didn't respond.  It's horrible UI/UX design.

They may have anyway.  I haven't asked where she got it.

I didn't think about the vase thing, though.  I ended up paying €10 for the vase.  :( :blush: :P

Yeah, I would have suggested that but thought that maybe there was something preventing that option (cost). But yeah I've set up / had those arrangement set up for me before re-other similar items in a hotel.
