I used to send flowers for Christmas and birthdays...some complained that the flowers were like a bunch of weeds. My MIL took hers into her nearest store and got a replacement.

I would write to their head office and complain...bet you get a voucher. ;)

Thanks for the heads up I was going to choose M&S for flowers as their in store flowers were always fresh and good value. Won't do it now :thumbup:

Whenever I've sent flowers I always get online and find a local florists (near my family) then phone them and order the flowers that way....my family have always been thrilled with the flowers....thats what I was going to get for my mum again this year ,but I thought I'd get her something she could keep.....I'll stick with flowers in future!.....Sophia:blink:

I was referring to online ordering in the UK. I don't know if Waitrose will deliver outside the UK. Check on the website.
