It turned up this morning!

Mind you the leaves were all in the bottom of the box and the stem on the roses were all snapped.

Nice one tesco and day late and picked by king kong.

I went for these, they arrived around midday and on the 14th . My wife really liked them(way better than Tesco's imo), the 50g choc's went down a treat too.

The Tesco ones turned up fine, and on time. I did speak to Tesco on Monday evening, they said they had 70,000+ orders to fulfil.

I ordered 12 grand prix roses from Crocus.co.uk for the Mrs. They came in a large cardboard box fairly well packaged. They were slightly crushed against the side of the box when i opened it and i'm not sure if they were totally fresh. Some looked a little dark and wilted. They did come in water though, well wrapped , with food. Overall they were ok. The gf was well chuffed though

The ones I got from local florist through Interflora last year were better i think.

cheers for the crocus tip whoever posted it on here :iloveyou:

I ordered a balloon from 0800flowers.com to be dispatched on the 13th by Royal Mail 1st class delivery.

The balloon still hasn't turned up even though 0800flowers informed me it was definately dispatched on the Monday and won't do anything about it.

Has anyone else had problems with these guys before?

my tesco flowers turned up on the right day but were black and wilted around the edges with the green leaves on the stems dying and shrivelled. Put them in water with some food and they have perked up a bit. Complained to Tescos. Was offered half price refund or another order from the same batch. I chose the half price refund.
