Check references. Whether looking through a wholesaler's website for testimonials or seeking out reviews online, make sure you read former customer reviews. Look into the wholesaler's replacement policy to see if you will be protected if there is a problem with your shipment. Verify that they have a customer service phone number as well. A company that makes this contact information easy to find is interested in customer satisfaction.

Tips & Warnings
Try to have the flowers delivered when someone is likely to be home; flowers should be brought inside and given water soon after they arrive.
If you are going to the market to purchase the flowers, bring a box to stand the flowers in to keep them and your car protected.
If you are thinking of ordering flowers for a large event, such as a wedding, place a small trial order first to try out the vendor. This allows you to check on the timeliness of the delivery to your particular area as well as the quality of the flowers.
Some states may require you to purchase a wholesale flower license before you can purchase dahlias at a local wholesale market. Check with your individual state or the market to determine whether the general public is allowed to purchase or attend without one.
