This reminds of those hilarious 1950s advertising posters with for example a woman hugging a brand new Hoover while her smiley husband stands in the background. Chuffed with himself for buying his wife her dream present.

I can only assume you're the same type of 'little woman' if you think your OH filling your car up is a romantic treat.

Absolutely brilliant post.

Men....some ideas, as I know you have no imagination.

Cook a meal - only once a month, when you know she is stressed, late home from work.
A bunch of flowers - say 3 times a year, at random times - not because you are seeking forgiveness, but just out of the blue.
A massage, just for the togetherness of it - that doesn't have to lead to sex!!!
Wash and polish her car.
Put fuel (ie brim it) in her car unexpectedly.
Make your own and her packed lunch now and then.

All little things that speak volumes much louder than tat on Valentine's Day.

I take exception to your own lack of imagination.

I cook my Mrs a meal every evening, Thursdays I treat her to her favourite meal.

I buy my Mrs flowers completely randomly, moreso on valentines, but its hardly original come valentines day, they just add towards the box of chocolates and romantic meal I cook her for that evening.

Not every day, but randomly so as to surprise and certainly at least once or twice in a week I am sure to place a small note in her prepared lunchbox, little love notes written on heart shaped post its, as a reminder of how much she means to me.

Of course these are nothing spectacular, nor are they extravagant. she loves them enough to thank me each evening. Albeit she occasionally will treat me to little surprises, not once have I seen a bunch of flowers in return, nor felt the need for her to show me such affections by doing likewise, nor do I expect her to drag me to bed for some passion as a result of expressing my love for her.

Fortunately, she would not dream of calling any gifts she gets from me on valentines day as being tat, particularly if its the same tat she is likely to get from me through each Month of every Year, possibly because if she thought it tatty, I would stop doing it.

Stop whingeing!!!!!!

Are you such sheep that you have to follow Hallmark and other tatty companies in giving your partner a gift on 14th Feb?

What about the other 360+ days of the year - quite frankly, a bunch of flowers on a dreary October day (twice the amount, half the price), totally out of the blue, means so much more than a limp bouquet on14th Feb.

It certainly sounds like she wears the trousers in this relationship

Paypal disputes? let's see what they say about that:

Facebook: You are of course welcome to do that, but please be aware that Paypal disputes can take 45 days to resolve during which they hold the funds and we are unable to refund you. We are processing refunds as fast as we can and plan to have a batch of the 50% refunds done early next week and then other refunds.

Twitter: I can see you have opened a paypal dispute. That means we can't now refund or deliver until they resolve. Sorry.

And this is what paypal say:

By opening a dispute, a buyer is asking for your help to resolve a problematic transaction before escalating it to a PayPal claim or filing a credit card chargeback. Common reasons for opening a dispute include:

•They haven't received the purchased item.
•The item received is significantly different from your description.

You can communicate directly with the buyer to clear up any misunderstandings and resolve the issue. If you agree to a solution, PayPal protects you if the buyer later files a chargeback.

Read: we are pooping our panties that numerous disgruntled customers will open a PayPal dispute, this will be viewed very dimly by PayPal/ eBay and they may close or suspend our account which will affect our business. :rotfl:

I'd open a PayPal dispute based on that: no way will they want multiple cases open for 45 days.

Try the 'quote' or 'edit' buttons?

PayPal disputes can take up to 45 days and the funds ARE NOT available to the company to do the refunds, I know this as i work for a company that receives PayPal transactions.

If anything you are actually just shooting yourself in the foot.

Although it may not be an ideal situation, i sense a large case of over reacting from alot of people, it's a bunch of flowers, if that's the only thing you have got your partner on a spur of the moment thing and haven't bothered your !!! to get out and get something nice then it's your own problem.

By opening your dispute, your forcing people to jump through PayPals hoops and thus making it much more difficult not only for yourself, but for everyone else.

By the looks of things the company has acknowledged a mistake and is supplying a fantastic apology by way of 50% refunds and double the actual flowers ordered.

I know we wouldn't do that. (I don't work in flowers though)

Yes they have let you down, but they are not under any obligation to supply in compensation, this has been done voluntarily by the company for a mistake they have admitted to and are now trying to rectify.

Those of you opening disputes are clearly unreasonable people.

thanks for quote advise but it wasn't spur of the moment from me I did it 5/6 days before and whatever the circumstance you expect what you pay for, they have said they will refund and send more flowers but have not as yet so will keep everyone posted , it still stands that a reply to the issue 4 days after valentines is very poor, it's the company that makes a huge profit on that day not me so they use it to their advantage to make profits just as Xmas does but I bet 99% of you on here celebrate that on 25th dec so by should anybody give an opinion that we if we so choose to celebrate another day in the year without castigation. The end. Not aimed at you specifically dantheman.
