One of the reasons that I find this flower market appealing is that I can find and purchase here items as well as merchandise from regions that aren't available at my local market. I can also make my purchases while comparing prices with the local market. I think that's the biggest advantage – I can choose the best and most inexpensive item at the time from a very large selection.

My husband often has to go out due to work related to the industry organization that we belong to. That made it difficult for me to go out and make purchases for the shop. I am really grateful because I can take part in auctions from home even when my husband is out. I don't have to close the shop to do it.

Aucnet totally changed distribution in the flower industry! I trust it because it is stable in terms of both quality and logistics. They also respond swiftly to any consultations that I make about orders and the condition of products. I can carry on my daily tasks while feeling ease.

We utilize not only commonly used grading and classing systems but also publish online original evaluations of the area of production as well as other product information, so you can make your purchases without any worries.
What should I do if there are any defects with the products that are delivered?
Please contact us by 4:00 p.m. of the day of delivery and include photographs of the product in question. We will serve as a mediator between you and the seller and deal with the issue responsibly.
Is it possible to specify a delivery time?
