Will a florist tell someone who sent them flowers?

My friend received a dozen roses from a secret admirer for Valentine's Day. She has no idea who they are from, however she works as a health professional and is concerned that it they may be from an unstable patient. She is wondering if the flower shop who delivered them will disclose the senders name or any other type of information. Is there some sort of florist code of ethics here? She is concerned for her safety as am I. Thanks.

Will a florist tell someone who sent them flowers?
It depends on how exactly the flowers were ordered... If the flowers were ordered on-line/ by phone and the florist that delivered them is simply a contractor they may not have any information regarding who ordered the flowers...





Your friend should contact the florist who delivered the flowers and ask them for any information they may have....





In the meantime your friends should place the flowers out of public view... If someone unstable did send them they will undoubtedly be encouraged if they see the flowers displayed...
Reply:all the florist could do is say no...so tell your friend to ask anyway. Once I got flowers at work (my new husband didn't have a credit card and was out of town and asked me to buy flowers for myself and have them sent to work. I felt strange about doing that but he said he wanted me to be like the other girls and all of them had flowers, so at noon I ordered them.) When they arrived the supervisor came over to me and said "I know you bought those for yourself". I thought I'd die a thousand deaths. She had the nerve to call the florist and ask for the info. sigh
Reply:Most florists will not tell you who sent the flowers if asked not to. If there isa safety question invloved, I would call the manager of the store, tell them that you are concerned abou the person who sent them to you and ask if it was X. THey may or may not say and you need to be careful that you don't violate andy confidentially rules by using his name (i.e. can't say he is "unstable") If it is a really serious concern, go to the police and have thm trace the order.
Reply:well I don't know what the situation is but if she feels threatened by this person and this person has done something else...like show up at her door or call continuously she could file a police report. I had to do this when someone was stalking me. If it isn't that serious I wouldn't do it but you never know. The guy she filed against wouldn't find out unless he got in trouble. Then maybe the officer can ask the florist and they are more likely to tell him. If I were her I would explain the situation to the florist and they might tell you. If not, and other things happen, there is always the police.
Reply:Some florists have the customer's confidentiality so I really doubt that they will disclose any information. But you could try, maybe this one will give it to you without batting an eyelash.
Reply:She should just ask the florist and see what they say.
Reply:I called once to enquire. They would not tell me. I am sure it is different everywhere. I would call and ask.
Reply:If the sender of the flowers requests that his/her identity not be revealed, then most florists would honor that.
