A surprise delivery left on the floor on the doorstep when I arrived home today, soaked from the heavy rain, the box is falling apart , typical DPD style just left, no common sense used here ?! So as a florist and teacher I couldn’t resist to show this , sadly the delivery is not even for me, I have reported to funky pigeon and am intrigued as the sender is E-Flora Ltd ?? I wonder if they will even reply to me or just refund the customer ??
So as you can see a small letterbox box not put through the door , the box is approx £19.00 , the flowers are cheap quality , broken heads , as there is no real protection in the box just paper wrapped around and tied.
For £19 I would have got so much nicer flowers from a local florist , maybe a few less but the quality would be so much better , I would never recommend this to send to anyone , I have conditioned to see how long they do actually last .
So remember support your local florist !!
Quality surely out weighs how this was received ???
