Florist II
8 CommentsContinuing my story from yesterday, about the extremely unsatisfactory florist. As most of you commented, it will be offensive to tell my kind friend about it. On the other hand, I was very grateful what she has done. I send a thank you message to her, expressing my gratitude. Knowing her, she asked me how was the gift. Oh oh. In the end, I told her about it, in a tactful manner. She said she wants to look at it, so I took a picture and send it to her.
What I got: What was ordered: 
She was furious, not with me but with the florist. She called the florist and I suppose bombarded her. They were in shocked when they saw the picture too. They apologized and will resend another bouquet to me. Weird, they should send an apology bouquet to my friend too. They have to send it to my office as I already started work. The bouquet came, a very small one. Peculiarly, it was send to an admin, usually bouquet are received by the receptionist. The admin called me to pass it to me. Casually I asked, why did it land on your desk? You know what she told me? The florist shop belongs to her managerโs (Senior Managerโs position) wife. Oh oh. What a small world?
I blog this NOT because I want to offend my friend or put her in an awkward position. I really thank her for the special gift and the thoughtfulness of her. This blog is to let you know that when you order anything from the Internet, you really have to be careful, especially from people you do not know. There is a case where this guy bought a second hand notebook and when he got it, it was already broken.
As for florist, usually they will use affiliate florist if it is from another state. The affiliate florist will not have a clue or picture what the customer order. It is merely base on descriptions.
p/s The chicken essences are at the bottom of the basket but a different brand. Not sure whether it tastes good, I let you know when I tasted it. ๐

Why would the florist send you another bouquet? She should send you the ‘remainder’ of the gifts. Like your bottle of Ribena and your chicken essence!
What a con job this florist is. -

yalor hor…we shoud be careful ordering from the net. I will make sure to ask my friend to send me photo of the delivered gift to see if it’s what I order. ๐
But that’s such a huge difference. They must have trying to cut cost ler. Drink the chic essense themselves already. ๐ฏ

Zara’s mama: Sorry, I am not allowed to demand coz I am only the receiver. ๐ I still think, they should send an apology bouquet or refund a discount to my friend.
Egghead: Maybe this florist is not good. Last time I ordered flowers for my mum thru http://www.111flowers.com, also not bad. Usually it is what you see what you get. Otherwise, the florist will inform the customer.
Jess: The same stuff, just different size.
Allyfeel: The chicken essense is at the bottom of the basket, sorry the pic wasn’t that clear.
