Interflora AVOID.

[Hetzer]

People send flowers, recipient never complains if the flowers are shite, how could they? My old dear does though.

£65, she got nine flowers (three were moth-eaten) and a small box of un-branded chocs. According to the florist Interflora dictate the 'flower-count'.

They get away with this because people don't complain of course. £65 fucking quid, you'd expect something pretty fucking spectacular, not something you can get for £6 from fucking Tescos.

Oh yeah, the actual florist:

Sarah's, Lincoln Road, Skegness. Bullshitters.

Used Interflora loads and never had an issue with them, often see a pic or see the actual flowers once they have been delivered and haven't been disappointed.
Guess it's down to the individual shop who supplies them - you get cocks on all walks of life.

[WildGoose]

As above, used them half a dozen times with great results, and never had an unimpressive bunch, never paid £60 either.

It's the florist that is shit, don't let them try and blame interflora. Contact interflora and maybe you can get them to strike off the shit florist.

Agreed, it's the florist. Interflora pass the order on to local florists who then deliver it.

I've used them several times and they have been bang-on. I saw the last ones I sent to Mrs stinkwheel, they were better than the ones in the picture and they'd even handwritten the card in fancy lettering.

If you bought them online, you should get a questionaire in your email about a week after they were delivered asking if you were happy with them.

As has been said, dob them in to interflora. Send them a picture of what was delivered.

Complain to IF, they will probably use their corporate Secateurs on Sarah's genitalia for you.

I have never had any bad results for IF.
There is another outfit who come up on a Google search but they are shite.

I would be boiling mad.

BTW there is a current thread on here to post little things that anoy you.
This is one for there.

Whereas a florist in Lewes charged my work colleague £5 for a HUGE bunch of flowers, she said she got 23 flowers (some lilies) with those extra leaves and sticks and things.

The flowers were from one of my sisters. The old dear rang the florists first, they talked balls, so she then rang Interflora and they've taken all the details and will get back to her. I listened to it all over Skype and we were dying (of laughter).

As I said during the conversation, flowers are plants and no different to sprouts or brocolli etc. If I ordered 65 fucking quids worth of brocolli I'd have sacks of the stuff, with or without a pony little box of chocs. The organic-veg deliverers seem to manage a bloody fat box of produce for £20. Thank god turnips don't come in nice colours and look pretty in a vase, we'd not be able to afford to eat the fuckers.

Flowers...a racket for spivs and mugs apparently.

I remember watching "Come Dine With Me" and the obligatory gay man spent over a £1000 on flowers, there were not that many of them either

Waitrose isn't one of the big four, their procurement is quite ethical. The only thing they're not paying out on is personal delivery, and I don't think that component (delivery to the door) explains the difference between £10 and £65.

Let's just say we supply Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Co-op, Lidl, Aldi.

Waitrose went with another supplier because they were cheaper. Yet we are market leaders with the highest welfare standards.

One word:

Cryogenics.

Another word:

Genera.

If you pick cheaper flowers you get loads.

But for +£50 I would like to see a decent 'show'.
