    Looby why don't you take a photo and email it to Customer Services? I am sure they would replace them if they saw they were damaged. Such a shame you seem to have received a rogue bunch.

    I sent them an email, but never thought about sending a photo! Half of them are totally dead now, maybe I should take a photo of them now and email it today. I haven't had a reply from the first email I sent yet, but I wasn't expecting one with it being sent so close to the bank holiday weekend.
  • Am I the only one who was disappointed with the flowers.
    Dont get me wrong the freesias were lovely ,but they were most definately not worth the £26 .99, just worth the £8.65.

    Definitely not disappointed. Delivery charge alone can be £3 or £4, even by post, with some flower websites.

    The person that I sent them to was most definitely not disappointed - she took me to task for spending what must have been a fortune. I didn't, of course, enlighten her ;)

    I agree that £26.99 is a ridiculous price for these flowers and I wonder if they ever sell them at that price. At the 'lower' price though they're good value.

    A bunch (5 stems) of small freesias, non scented were £1.98 in Asda yesterday and a bunch (5 stems) of larger freesias, which were scented and similar in size to the vaueflora ones were £3.98...makes the vaueflora ones extremely good value in my opinion.

    Ordered flowers in general are expensive and although I would not want to pay £26 for 50 freesis, at £8.65 they are exceptional value.

    Still waiting for my Monday morning order. Not too impressed, if not here tomorrow will ask for refund as these wrer for Easter.

  • I ordered some Freesia's last Sunday 2nd April - it was 100 of them with some free chocolates. Still waiting on them being delivered! I contacted them last week and the customer service representative said they would resend them.. Haven't received either the original batch or the new batch :(

    Pretty annoyed about it and the point of buying them in the first place has now been more or less lost. I sent them another email today asking what's going on but they're closed until Tuesday! :mad:

    I guess it's time for a chargeback.

    I ordered two lots and they were both well appreciated. :j

    I earned more brownie points than the expenditure deserved :D

    Thanks to OP :beer:
