I went to a local florist in a small town in California to send a mothers day floral arrangement to my mom, who lives in a small town in Ohio. Even though I ordered and paid in cash on Monday they scheduled delivery for the following Saturday, after promising delivery between 8 a.m. and noon at noon they informed me that it might take till six since its a holiday delivery. At around 4 they advised me they would be delivering until 8 pm. My mom is in her 70's and perfers being asleep by 7. I'm so frustrated at this pont my mom has no flowers and the shop in Ohio does not deliver on Motheres Day. Any suggestions??? Oh, by the way this cost about sevanty dollars to expirence. Ideas?????
The floral arrangement I paid to be delivered to my mom, 2000 miles from me, were not sent, what to do????
If they guaranteed delivery, you may have some recourse for a refund...however...in the future , you may find it more benficial , not be mention cheaper to call a florist in Ohio yourself. Do a little research on the web and find one near mom and call them direct, most florists have toll free numbers, then you can find out what they have in stock and if and when they can deliver it:)
Reply:i would sue .. or ask for money back .. BE FORCEFUL!!
Reply:GET A REFUND FROM TH EFLORAL WHERE YOU HAD THE FLOWERS SENT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE,SORRY I AM OF NO BETTER HELP
Reply:call them back on Tuesday get your money back and make them send her 2 sets for free . just for the mess they maid. they will do it. ( maybe you should throw in a cry here and there) it might work.

I want to send flowers to a girl?
I'm planning to send flowers to this great girl who went to prom with me last year, but this is my first time sending flowers a girl. So I need some help. Here is the list of questions.
1) Should I use a florist company on the internet, such as FTD.com, or local flower delivery shops? I live far away from her now, and I don't know the details about local florists near her house. Can I trust FTD.com?
2) Should I send a bouquet without a vase or with a vase? You only send flowers in a vase to people who are sick, am I correct? Which form do you expect flowers to come in when your partner send you flowers?
3) I want to give her a card with personalized message with the flowers. Can I do that?
If you have any experience of sending flowers or receiving flowers, please post me some answers. They will be greatly appreciated. I always give 5 stars to best answer and I will give two thumbs up after choosing it! Thank you!
I want to send flowers to a girl?
FTD is a respectable company and they have lovely arrangements you can choose from on their website. That said, I prefer to use local florists because they are very helpful. When I sent my mom flowers on her birthday I was able to have an arrangement that had her favorite flowers and colors in it. As for your other questions send them in a vase, it is always much nicer to be able to view the flowers then to have to cut the stems and arrange them yourself. And either way you send them you can add a personalized message. Good luck.
Reply:Oops. My other account has not reached level 2 to give a thumb up. sorry about that. Report It
Reply:If you haven't ordered from Martha Stewart Flowers then you should. They have a vast variety and arrangements starting at $29.99. Unlike most floral websites, Martha Stewart Flowers provides beautiful fresh-cut flowers. Report It
Reply:Why are you sending girls flowers? When you went to the prom with this girl, you probably ended up paying for all kinds of things, so you owe her nothing. What is it that you hope to accomplish by sending her flowers?
Reply:I used 1-800-flowers.com. They do a really great job with flowers and other things as well, like teddy bears, etc. And you get to put your own personal greeting. I would think flowers with a vase would be best, they always pick out a great one to match the flowers. Good luck hun!
Reply:Obviously you really like this girl a lot. It's so cute that you want to send her flowers. I know that girls love flowers from my own experience. I am a girl!! Well if it were me you were sending the flowers to, I would just buy some. I'm not a particular girl, %26amp; i would love to have a guy send me flowers. I'm sure she'll be happy with whatever you choose to do.
Good luck

Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?
If there was a website that shipped nationally, gave a garuntee for fresh delivery,and gave you a wide selection of pre-constructed wedding bouquest for a low cost...would you consider buying your bridal party bouquets through that web site instead of using a local florist?
Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?
Nope. A brides flowers are an important part of her day, even if your guarantee it, there is no way to really 100% ensure they will be beautiful when she walks down the aisle. (a guarntee just means she would get her money back) Her day would be ruined, what would she be expected to do if your company was in CA and she was in Ohio? She couldnt call and get a replacement bouquet brought over. Also, how can you ensure the arrival of the bouquets on time? If she is getting married at 8 am she would need them to get there by 7 am, fed ex isnt going to deliver that early #1 and I wouldnt trust a shipping company to give any window other than "before 10 am" things are delivered in order they are loaded on the truck, if you live far from the distribution site you have a good chane of being first, but the closer you live the further back on the truck you are.
Not such a great idea.
Reply:No. WIth a floirst you have more options, they will work within your price range as well. Plus, if you get it from the florist that day %26amp; have a problem with it, they will correct it. When my florist delivers all of my flowers, she doesn't leave until she gets the OK from me that they are what I wanted. Don't get that from the internet.
Reply:Nope, not a chance. Even overnight shipping could damage the flowers, and they'd start to wilt. Also, things to wrong with shipping all the time.
Reply:no, i wouldn't the quality is just not gonna be there, you can't really see their work, and flowers just don't need to be out of water that long with our adaquit preparation to the stems which you can't do once they are in bouquets...I worked at a florist for 2 years and i just wouldn't be happy im sure
Reply:NEVER! Remember you'll have to pay transport too. What if they get your bouquet wrong? Then what?
Reply:I would prefer to have a store location, where I could inspect the regular quality of their merchandise, and how flowers are handled and delivered.
Flowers shipped at this time of year may run into delays with winter weather. They may be exposed to cold winter air and wither. They may arrive on time, but be completely not what you expect. And if you order on the Internet, it's not like you can send a representative over to their store to demand replacements in the hour before the wedding!
Yes, it might be lower cost, but it's much higher risk, with fewer options to fall back on if something goes amiss.
Reply:I think I would at least consider doing this. I have ordered flowers online before and they have arrived in perfect condition. What website is this so I can take a look at these bouquets?
Reply:no
everyone knows the plant will go bad from sitting in the box for a week or so
my mom bouhgt a plant and it came to us as dried out
Reply:Nope. Never buy what you can't see. ESPECIALLY for a wedding!
Reply:I wouldnt because they could be dead by the time they get to your house. And they might not look like they show.
Reply:no I would not because it will not look right when it gets to your house.

Do you Love Flowers? Especially Roses? You'll enjoy this!?
This woman and her husband have this really bad fight. He goes off to work the next day without talking to her, but she doesn't care.
She's busy doing her thing around the house. All of the sudden, around 1:00 in the afternoon, the doorbell rings. She goes to the door and opens it and there is a young delivery guy from the local florist shop with an enormous, beautiful bouquet of long-stemmed red roses...the expensive ones...from her husband.
She says to the delivery guy with disgust, "Oh CRAP!"
The delivery guy says, "What's a matter lady? You don't like roses?"
She replies, "Yeah, I like roses, but do you know what this means?"
He says, "No, Lady, what does this mean?"
She answers, "It means for the next two weeks I'll be laying on my back with my legs in the air."
He replies, "Geez, Lady, don't you have a vase?"

Pay as you go road tax?
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/
Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. Apparently there are only a few days left to register your objection to the 'Pay As You Go' road tax.
The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice.
Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.
The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car t
Pay as you go road tax?
Lets put it this way - If they start this up, both myself and my wife will have to quit our jobs as we will not be able to afford to get to the City where we work and public transport is not an option. Do you think I could take the government for constructive dismissal or something? After all, it will be because of them that we lose our income!!
Reply:Should be like America, no road tax as the tax is added to fuel. So the more miles you drive, the more road tax you've paid. Very simple solution.
Example. say your car did 40 mpg (4.54 lt to a gallon). You average 12,000 miles a year which is 300 gallons or 1362 litres of fuel. If the Gov want £160 off you, they need to put 12p on a litre of fuel.
Blokey that drives 12,000 has paid £160 in road tax. Obviously the more or less miles you drive, the more or less £ you pay.
Reply:They've stopped any more signings !!!!!!!!!!!! Or should I say they allow you sign but the figure has remained the same since this morning xxxx
Reply:Thanks I signed it a few days ago.Lets hope theres enough signatures to stop this stupid act.
Reply:It was 1100000 + as of yesterday morning. Thanks to people like yourself who have been posting it everywhere. Its amazing how fast your can spread stuff by email!
Reply:I can't see why they need to even contemplate PAY AS YOU GO TAX.
We already have it....if you drive a lot of miles you have to buy a lot of petrol and that is taxed unbelievebly highly. To top it off they then charge you VAT tax on it when you pay as well!!!!!
It's obviously another way for the government to try and sqeeze a few more pounds out of us all.
Don't let em back in next time!!!!!

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill.

Reply:thanks, good site. I often go there to see what petitions I should sign. There's lots of legislation that is being passed through because we don't care enough to find out or can't be bothered to check. Road pricing is a con! We pay the highest petrol tax in Europe, and we also pay road tax. Plus we have the highest parking charges in Europe and we have the congestion charge.
Now I wouldn't object if there were viable public transport alternatives and you could get around London easily and cheaply BUT London's Mayor (why doesn't someone assassinate him?) has just put the public fares up. Oh, they want to encourage 2-wheelers into London instead to save on pollution and then, in the same week, withdraw all the free parking for motorcycles.
This is nothing to do with the environment and EVERYTHING to do with just getting more money in tax.
Everyone should sign this petition and, at the next general election, VOTE LABOUR OUT. They are crippling this country and its citizens.

Reply:Extra tax on top of the 40% of our incomes we already pay in tax?? Compulsary ID cards, Smoking Ban, Now Car Tracking all of which we have to pay extra for, none of which I recall actually voting on? What kind of a state is this becoming. I am not sure about the rest of you, but as a person living on my own earing ok money, I still dont have any extra cash to chuck away for driving my car too and from work. Great Idea Blair... but erghhh when was the last time you tried to use public transport? aprat from no guarantees it will turn up, it being dirty, the abude you face by the YOB culture. half the time there isnt any other method of getting too and from work? See for yourselfs, if you cant afford to use your car, and cant get a lift permenatly how would you get to work? could you do it? What kind of a place are we living in? How f*cking real is the UK government and why is it that the workers, the honest decent people just trying to build a life get s*it on???? if you super rich you can pick what tax you pay? Yet us normal people the ones that keep the country going keep getting kicked.

Reply:All charges will be passed on to the consumer, i.e at the point they start charging all food/fuel/goods/services will go up. Your wages won't, so who will benefit? People will still drive as they have to already, I dont expect to hear anyone say, I'd like to go to the cinema tonight but I can't afford the cost of the journey! Sounds too unreal to me, are the government scaremongering us.

Everyone should sign this petition and, at the next general election, VOTE LABOUR OUT. They are crippling this country and its citizens.
Reply:I am in the US and have heard people discussing this for here. Isn't it interesting how governments have so many ways of getting their hands into our pockets. Sounds like something the tax and spend democrats will be looking at, they would love to have all that money to spend.
Reply:Extra tax on top of the 40% of our incomes we already pay in tax?? Compulsary ID cards, Smoking Ban, Now Car Tracking all of which we have to pay extra for, none of which I recall actually voting on? What kind of a state is this becoming. I am not sure about the rest of you, but as a person living on my own earing ok money, I still dont have any extra cash to chuck away for driving my car too and from work. Great Idea Blair... but erghhh when was the last time you tried to use public transport? aprat from no guarantees it will turn up, it being dirty, the abude you face by the YOB culture. half the time there isnt any other method of getting too and from work? See for yourselfs, if you cant afford to use your car, and cant get a lift permenatly how would you get to work? could you do it? What kind of a place are we living in? How f*cking real is the UK government and why is it that the workers, the honest decent people just trying to build a life get s*it on???? if you super rich you can pick what tax you pay? Yet us normal people the ones that keep the country going keep getting kicked. Take my advice guys / girls get the hell out of here, leave this dump, I know for one thing I am not proud of being a UK resident at the moment

Reply:All charges will be passed on to the consumer, i.e at the point they start charging all food/fuel/goods/services will go up. Your wages won't, so who will benefit? People will still drive as they have to already, I dont expect to hear anyone say, I'd like to go to the cinema tonight but I can't afford the cost of the journey! Sounds too unreal to me, are the government scaremongering us.
