Nah, I think it's you that's talking tosh.

The flowers are good quality *precisely because* they come from a proper florist (who I assume has to be up to a standard defined by interflora) rather than a supermarket warehouse!

My gf got her flowers today around 11. Organised by local florist. Havent seen them yet but she said they were great. £25 + delivery charge. A bit more than supermarkets online etc but they got there!

On an aside - Clinton cards have reduced their Valentines range already! They have lots of items reduced from £3 to 99p

Bought some flowers from Tescos Online and the misses wasnt in. She needs to collect it from the post office tomorrow. Ruined the surprise and probably the flowers too when seeing it tomorrow.

actually my family has had to complain a couple of times about flowers from interflora.

my dh got me a single grand prix and a dozen red roses from m&s :happylove . the dozen are gorgeous, and the grand prix was glorious first thing :smileyhea , but somehow i managed to all but kill it. so have now turned upside down in the hope dry and save.

My OH ordered me flowers from M&S but they delivered to our home address and not my work address! Is it worth complaining? Will they do anything?
It was really disappointing as he had to tell me and i missed out on the suprise!

Mu husband made an order for the bouquet of 12 red roses and free chocolates, then decided to change the order, but couldn't so opted to cancel. He did so both online and by telephone.

However, I received the order today and Tescos have confirmed that they will refund the cc and I can keep the flowers and the chocolates!!!

Yippee!!!!!

ps :iloveyou: OH

Be warned.

Tesco beleive that Valentines day is also on the 15ht of February as well.

Apparently 5 days prior order is not good enough for them. My flowers did not arrive that I ordered for my Girlfriend, apparently I should have known they were posted and that asking for delivery on Valentines day actually meant it was for delivery the 15th.

One very unhappy shopper, tried calling them, they won't give me a refund unless they fail to turn up tomorrow.

horrific.

Now I got to sort out the issue of missing flowers on Valentines day.

Ain't had yours yet? They tell me they should have been delivered by 9pm.

Tesco did this last year. Expect them some time next week... they have 3 days grace either side of V Day. Sorry... people did say they were bad though...

Used M+S for the dozen roses I had delivered at work for my fiancee - looked good and delivered in a professional manner in a box to protect them - glad I used M+S after reading some of the horror stories!
