Floral Delights and Disappointments
Quality of Flowers and Arrangements
The quality of flowers and arrangements varied greatly among customers. Some reviewers praised the beautiful, fresh, and stunning arrangements, while others were disappointed with wilted or low-quality flowers. One reviewer mentioned that the flowers didn't look like the photo, but the issue was rectified. Another reviewer was thrilled with the bespoke wedding flowers that exceeded their expectations.
Customer Service
Customer service was a mixed bag. Some reviewers appreciated the helpful, friendly, and welcoming staff, while others encountered uncompassionate and unapologetic service. One reviewer was upset about the lack of empathy during a difficult time, while another was grateful for the understanding and accommodating staff.
Value for Money
The value for money was also a point of contention. Some reviewers felt they received excellent value, while others felt ripped off. One reviewer compared the flowers to those from a local garage, implying that they overpaid.
Delivery and Timeliness
Same-day delivery and timely service were appreciated by some reviewers. However, one reviewer was annoyed about a speeding van driver who failed to apologize.
