Outdoors Now I am angry

Well, on the 24th I placed an order for flowers to be delivered on the 31st to my gf for our anniversary. I then flew out to Duke to suprise her.

Well when I get off of the plane today at 5:06 I get a call from them. Apparantly a number was missing in the phone number, so they would not deliver the flowers.

I called them back to see what the problem was, and after about 10 minutes it was relvealed that over half the address had been cut off, so they did not know where to deliver it. Not only that, but it was too late to deliver it eventhough I then gave them address.

I still have the confirmation email in my inbox showing that the address and phone number were correct when I placed my order.

What really gets me is that they made *no* attempt to get a real address or phone number from me until 4:30 PM the DAY it was to be delivered. This really is the first time in my life that I have felt truely compelled to write a letter. This truely is horrible policy.

The customer service person told me she would put in a note that it was their fault, and give me a whole $6 back on my CC. Wow thanks a friggen lot. If I was thinking clearly I would have told her to cancel it and gone and bought some flowers so I could have them on time

So now she will be getting flowers tomorrow and I will be mailing off a not so nice letter.

End Venting.

ugh

Was it a local company or a larger one?

I think I've tried two online co's and (thankfully) haven't had any problems.

gah! that must suck Costco has some nice flowers usually. Look near the front of the store, near the hair care/medicine section. Oh BTW, name names. Who was the company? The shipping company? The only way companies fry and die is when people mention names. The local news stations here used to mention the names of people who got ripped off by X company, but not anymore. I say, tell us the name!

Tell your g/f Happy Anniversary. May you 2 have the best of luck.

I used 1800flowers.com .

I have used them many times before and they were always very reliable with me.

Just not this time I guess
