Well, I one-upped her and ordered two dozen...online, at Bloomex.ca. Well, due to some light (by Calgary standards) snow in the GTA, they notified me at the end of the day that they couldn't deliver them - they will be delivered tomorrow.
I'm not too pleased with this. Firstly, she was anxiously awaiting their arrival all day at her place of work. Secondly, I paid a V-Day premium, and a 'morning delivery' premium and didn't receive either. Her colleagues received their flowers - some from online rival, growersdirect.com.
At any rate, she understood the situation but I am still peeved that I paid $120 for a service I didn't receive. What good is a Feb. 15 delivery and why should I have to pay full price for day-old flowers? I even told them she wouldn't be at work tomorrow and they responded they'll be sending them then anyways because they already prepared them. Oh well, rant over.

This happened to me as well, sort of. I went on Tuesday to a flower store downtown here and oredered a bouquet of flowers to be sent to my wife's work. I had not heard all day from here so I knew something was up cause she would have called me and gushed about them. So she got off at 3:00 and I called her and asked how her day was and asked if she got any other presents today. She said no so I called the flower store and they said they went out but they do not know where they are.
I aswell paid extra for a morning delivery and they said we are sorry but we did not know it was a business and we are delivering them first. I said look at the bottom where the address is and it says this is a business!!!
They then offered out of the goodness of there hearts to have them redirected to our house. So I gave them the address and they still did not show up until 8:30 last night!!!
I was so pi$$ed at them.
End rant.
