I've always placed my Hy-Vee floral orders online; always using Johnson Ave. for deliveries.
I've never had any problems (ordering, delivery, etc.) and the arrangements I order online look exactly the same when they arrive to the recipient (I always get a picture from her after they're delivered :).

The quality of Hy-Vee's flowers is 110% better (in my experience) than Peck's or Pierson's and you're paying much more at those shops.
Hy-Vee is still 'shopping local' in my opinion and I've always been very pleased with the merchandise they deliver (especially the flowers)! read more
