I've used Flying Flowers many times and have always had good quality, and delivery on the day required (or very close to in the case of Mothers Day when they are very busy). Price seems similar to 'Bunches' above. Also they save the addresses you send to often so it's quick and easy to send them next time.

I used to work for a teleflora company like interflora. The insider knowledge is this:
Look up a florist in the area you want to send them to (use Yell.co.uk) ie. you want to send some flowers to someone in Newcastle, so search on yell for florists in that town. Then once you have a number ring the florist tell them you work for a teleflorist in London but you don't want to place an order through work so can they do you a nice bunch of flowers for mothers day and what is their cheapest price or tell them how much you want to spend. I do this all the time to send flowers all over the country to family and friends and you would be suprised at the regional variations in cost. When I send flowers to my mum in Norfolk they cost about £12 less than sending the same bunch in London and I save a huge amount by not going through websites or phone sites. Also because you are dealing with a local shop to the person you are sending the flowers to you usually find they are thankful for the orders as the big supermarkets are pushing them under. They are normally all very helpful and friendly but they will all be very very busy around the usual times valentines, christmas and mothers day. So give it a try 9 times out of 10 you will be getting a bargain and a more personal service. Good luck.

I have used Valueflora.com a few times my mum was very happy with her flowers:T :A :T :A:T :A :T :A :T :A0

Personally, I always use Bunches.co.uk, have used valueflora once and was disgusted with what they sent. Also their CS is laughable.
My advice, https://www.bunches.co.ukOne by one the penguins steal my sanity.0 -
I must admit that VALUEFLORA have served me well many a time .
The best flowers we got was just after xmas when they were doing orchids on special . we ordered them and....... they are just about to die THIS WEEK !!!!!! 2 MONTHS ? ? ?
Anyway thats who i use ( apparently they arent with quidco anymore0 -
Hiya, haven't read the posts but here's my 2p worth.. There are just some things that can never ever be a bargain! Just like there are some foods that can never be low fat and good ( like cheese, pizza anything involving cheese for that matter) If on a diet, avoid avoid.
If on a money diet, avoid flowers, you really do get what you pay for!
Scoured the sites some months back to buy flowers for engagement, went with asda, 25 quid me thinks, went round friends house two days after delivery, they were so poor, no greenery or anything to enhance them, could of bought a super boquay to deliver in person for the price. i was embarrassed.
Hand deliver or avoid bargains or re think gift, is my advice0 -
dont forget 10% cashback via quidco for bunches.com
