    Moonpig,

    Roses for valentines day lasted almost a month and they arrived on the morning they were meant to....for £25.

    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

    phone a florist local to the address you're sending to, and leave it up to them :). I always get great service doing it this way, you give them your budget, they will probably tell you what kind of spray, how many heads etc you will get for your money, they may suggest a popular arrangement, they might ask if you prefer a certain colour etc.

    I've recieved some from this lot a few times: http://www.flowersbypost.com/ They arrive via Royal Mail, but always last ages. Tend to arrive slightly closed, but they open in a day or so and last forever.

    Debenhams flowers can work out a good deal if you go through quidco. Quidco often have good cash back and £5 off codes. Then the debenhams site often has offers such as extra flowers free or free chocolates.

    I do think that you can't beat a local florist though.

    wouldnt use anyone else but bunches, another vote from me here, after being recommended them by a friend, used them on several occasions and if any complaint, they delivery early lol, mother is always happy with her flowers

    plus you can collect 'posy points' to put towards your next purchase
