How to Purchase an Edible Arrangement

Edible arrangements are unique and beautiful fresh fruit gift baskets for any and all occasions. The fruit is artistically cut and arranged to resemble a bouquet of flowers, and you can choose to have any of the fruits dipped in chocolate. Some popular companies that produce such baskets are Edible Arrangements, FruitFlowers, Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company and Flowers To Eat. So now that you have decided this is the perfect gift for an upcoming birthday, anniversary or holiday, how do you purchase your incredible edible arrangement?

1. First: Order online

   Perhaps the fastest and most efficient way of purchasing your gift basket is by ordering the basket online with your credit card at the business of your choice. Most companies offer overnight shipping in the event that you have to place your order at the last minute. Ordering online is a quick and easy process. Simply browse through the selection of baskets and choose the one you want by clicking on it. This usually brings up an order form where you can fill in the details of your order, your message to the recipient and your shipping and billing information. You have now finished your shopping in a few simple steps, all from the convenience of your home.

2. Second: Visit a local store

   While visiting a local store is going to limit your choice of companies, it is definitely a treat to see firsthand some of the actual baskets available rather than viewing a photo online. Check the company’s website to see if they have a location in your area or look for the company in your local phone book. Other benefits of visiting the store in person is the ability to pay with cash rather than a credit card and having the choice of taking the basket with you to deliver it in person or to have it shipped.

3. Third: Call the company

   If you are not comfortable placing your order over the internet for security reasons, calling the company directly offers a viable alternative. Again, you can find the company’s phone number on its website or in your local directory. If you are ordering from a local store, you can choose to have the basket delivered or to pick it up from the store when it is ready.
