            the really annoying thing is mrs (we aint married ((YET))) nickduff is about 250 miles away, so i cant even get there to deliver a rose in person!!!
my valentine was less than impressed!!!
i thought M+S would be decent......

            Thats really poor service! Have you tried to call them?0

            I hope that your other half isn't too upset with you, it isn't your fault that this has happened. That is disgusting service from M&S, and I hope that they compensate you appropriately.
Try ringing interflora this morning as I am sure that there are some florists that could deliver for you today.0 - 
            That is really, really bad
 Have you called them? I hope you managed to get some roses for your valentine

            Id cancel the order if I was you. Just had 12 delivered for my lady from M&S and they look like the ASDA ones for £2.
Thought they were fairtrade ones
Wasn't fair trade for me0 - 
            thats really bad, did they take the money. I ordered some for my wife and got a email friday to say my card hadnt gone through so i entered some new card details and the money was taken. got me worried now.....Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!0

            Hi Nickduff.... sorry about your situation, have you tried looking at yell.com for the area she lives in and find a florist, I am sure most of them will be open this morning, and someone might help you out, I had the same experience from M&S for a Birthday, but the florist side is not run by M&S :mad: its a different entitiy not sure how that works. I went into store and they really didnt care, good luck with getting today, sorted guess thats your priority0

            ordered some flowers for mothers day a couple of years ago and they did arrive in time but were really poor quality - I emailed them and they gave me a refund - I know it wont get the flowers there any quicker but I certainly think you are due something for the frustration you have incurred at least - good luck with sorting it out - I know I was really surprised you just dont expect it with M and S0
