Interflora

I live abroad and needed to send bereavement plants to my family. I chose Simpson’s based upon ratings, which used Interflora to order online. I carefully chose plants for each of my family members, which cost a total of more than $ 150.00 American, for next-​day delivery on Saturday.
The next morning I get up to an email from Interflora telling me the items (all 3) were unavailable and asking if I would like substitutions and that they couldn’t be delivered until Monday. I confirmed the substitutions, asked them to please try to deliver Saturday and was told there was no way. Then I asked for a refund for the delivery and received a whole 2 pounds back.
Today, Monday, one family member has received their basket. The other two have not. However, one of the two did receive flowers that were from a different shop that were not for her from «someone» who had canceled their order. At this point, I have no idea what is happening, and I am very unhappy with this service.
If you are going to get flowers from Simpson’s — which are lovely even though they are not the plants I originally chose — go there in person. This Interflora service is ridiculous.

Interflora is perfect if you’re need a bouquet for a housewarming, birthday, or if you’re just in the dog house. You can either choose exactly what you want in the bouquet or just get a ready made one. The prices for bouquets are really rather reasonable and for the £20 mark you can get a mindblowingly beautiful bouquet whether you want to deliver it yourself or use their delivery service. Perfect.
Interflora can also cater for larger scale needs such as weddings and other special occasions.

If you are an international student or resident here in Edinburgh like myself you may be relieved to know that yes there is an Interflora here to send pretty bouquets across the globe. My grandparents were sweethearts on my 21^st when I received a beautiful vase sent to my flat from here– the delivery person was very professional and the flowers were gorgeous and lasted for days.

I have a story about this particular florists…
About 3 years ago, my ex boyfriend was desperately trying to get back together with me — I’m quite a catch, y’know. We had broken up before I moved to Edinburgh but he didn’t take it too well. Anyway, I hadn’t heard from him in a few weeks so I thought he had moved on… until I got a phonecall telling me I had a package at reception. It was an empty vase and a single red rose. The card just said ‘it’s a’. I was totally confused… but low and behold the next day I got another phonecall, another package. Another rose… this time the card said ‘new year’. Ok, so I was beginning to get it. Every day for a fortnight I got a rose with more words on it, concluding to ‘it’s a new year, so let’s try a new start? meet me at the witchery, sunday 9pm’. Cute, huh!
I was totally impressed with Interflora though, they were extremely professional and their customer service was brilliant. They knew that the overall message was — since they were sending it every day, but still enjoyed it alongside me. They were absolutely brilliant.
You’ll be glad to know I did go and meet my ex at the witchery and we did have a lovely meal. However, I told him we were never going to be together since he had slept with a married woman while we were together.
All’s fair in love and war.
