About iBuyFlowers
iBuyFlowers was founded by our CEO Wilfred, who grew up on a flower farm and spent his adulthood working on farms in Ecuador. Over the years, he recognized a need to provide farm fresh flowers at competitive prices, eliminating the ‘middleman’, while also offering convenience and excellent customer service. Our logistics ensure that our flowers are transported in the most efficient way, ensuring that they arrive at our customer’s location as fresh as possible.
We’re an online marketplace where customers are able to order directly from over 100 farms spanning the globe.
"It's so great to be part of the new digital way of sourcing flowers. I used to work at a wholesaler day and night. Now I can work from home, selling a great digital platform, and let customers receive flowers 5-10 days fresher than at a local wholesaler. We have online meetings almost every day and the whole team comes together once or twice a year. The team vibe is so good in the company!"

Sales reps reviews
Gwen, sales rep
“Leaving the wholesale warehouse setting and finding a work life balance with ample time to travel and see family has been incredible. Working for iBuyFlowers is hands down the best decision I've ever made. Starting with a book of business and connections in my territory has helped me ten fold. The iBuyFlowers team is the most intellectual, forward thinking and positive group of professionals I've ever worked with in this industry. Really no downfalls when it comes to working here at iBuyFlowers, truly.”
Jaclyn, sales rep
“IBF truly feels like home to me, from the comfort of the work/life balance, to my coworkers who all have hearts of gold, and my customers who have become flower friends. The leaders in our company are the kindest, most humble, and open-minded bosses I've ever worked for.
They truly prioritize the value in our customers and our staff, and put that above all. Not only is the company culture the best I've ever seen, IBF is the new-age way for florists to order farm-fresh wholesale flowers!
Being a part of next-generation wholesale is incredibly exciting and naturally reduces the headaches and disappointment that happens in traditional wholesale, making the customers' experience and our job that much easier! I have found my forever career with my forever flower family.”
Tobey, sales rep
"Flowers are my passion. My very first job as a teenager was at a local flower shop. I designed weddings & events throughout my college years, and worked as a Sales Rep out of a traditional brick & mortar wholesaler for most of my adult life. I grew accustomed to extremely early mornings, long days, hard, physical labor, and minimal time off to spend with family and friends. I accepted the difficulties because I love selling flowers and thought "this is just the way it is".
What a joy it's been to work for IBuyFlowers and discover there is a way to follow my heart, and also experience a healthy work/life balance. IBuyFlowers has allowed me to continue honing my industry skills and knowledge, while surrounding me with some of the kindest, most supportive, and most dedicated colleagues I could hope for. I'm able to offer my customers TRULY farm direct flowers, and introduce them to the future of flower buying. I'm thankful for this job and for this company every single day. “
