Hi,

If you go to their website & scroll down there is the profile of the managing director (doesn't look very old!) with a Manchester address. Hope this is of some use.

Carolhostie I can asure you I am not fed up as I didnt get free flowers, just fed up of people like you

The reason the code no longer works is because you took the p*** .

Rather than teach Valueflora a lesson lets hope it teaches you one.

Don't wish to be rude but to order 50 times ! ! Sounds to me like you have some kind of problem ! Everyone likes a freebie sure, but you have taken it to new dimensions !! x

It IS working.
Look again. The actual price is £44.99. They say that with the code you get a 50% discount and therefore you will have to pay only £22.99. It actually says it very clearly.

I'm not saying that ordering 50 bunches of flowers is right. What I am saying is that she is at least is contributing something to this community by warning others (albeit by means of a request for help) who may decide to use the codes, that the company may decide to try and recover the costs. Those who simply lurk contribute nothing and yet reap the rewards of this site.

Also, many deals/codes/freebies are meant for designated customers, so it could be argued that we are all guilty of "ruining" it for others by posting on MSE and then taking advantage of them. After all if a company has for example budgeted the deal cost for 100 customers and suddenly gets 3000 it is going to have an impact on its finances and it is therefore unlikely to continue running promotions. Therefore those customers who would have been legitimately entitled to the offer lose out!!

I think regardless of the rights or wrongs of what she has done, there is no need for the nastiness that has been shown towards her. I think in the first few opening posts to this thread it was made quite apparent to her that many MSE members did not approve of her actions. So to continue with the public slating and humilation is pointless - I think she's got the message. Whether you offer your support or not is entirely upto you. I would rather support her and work towards finding out the legal situation with respect to using discount codes so that we all benefit in the long term.

I think the comments made to her were quite valid in that when people state they have used an offer/glitch like this so much it does usually mean that others lose out. Yes, help fellow MSE users but this 50 free orders was not right in my opinion.

While I completely agree that to order 50 was completely outrageous and perhaps even a bit obsessed:EasterBun ........ not as much fuss was made of the "Time Delay" fiasco from Boots when people were bragging that they had hundreds of items!!! I think the OP was very foolish ...it just goes to show that you CAN have too much of a good thing!!
