Hi all,


I wonder if any one can 'recommend' from previous good service, a reasonably priced service to deliver flowers.


I would like to send my mother flowers for Mothers Day but would like it not to cost more than £25


Can anyone recommend? After valentine and mothers day disaster stories that I have heard of in previous years I thought I would try to go for recommendation than cheap advert


Thanks

    I have used flying flowers.co.uk a few times. I've found them to be both reasonably priced, and reliable too. They have bunches starting at £11.99. :)

    I wouldn't recommend Interflora, the bunch of flowers my husband ordered for valentines day wasn't like the one that was on their website. I phoned up to complain and he got a refund for half of the money. I have a feeling valentines day was a bit of a shambles for them judging by their Twitter feed and Facebook page! :eek:

    We've used Waitrose Direct several times and they've always been very good. The rose planter I got at Christmas is still going strong.

    I've always found them to be reliable, and they have a good choice too. I'm sure your inlaws will love their flowers! :)

    I've no connection with them other than as a customer - they send the most glorious scented narcissi, and I've already ordered some for my mother for mothering sunday.

    I usually look for a local florist online and then ring and see if they can do it

    I've used bunches.co.uk a couple of times, I sent my mum a bunch of tulips for her birthday earlier in the month, they were there the next day and only cost £18 I think, plus I got cash back through Topcashback. She said they were lovely and lasted ages.
