Top rate service

Very good customer service, helped me out with a lily plant order which was delayed twice, was contacted twice by phone to tell me my options. They offered me an alternative free of charge and put my refund onto my account, so everything is good, Thanks.

Thank you for leaving us a review. Some offers do vary between stores and online but most are the same. However we have noticed you have purchased a food order, mix and match, which is only available in store. Have a great weekend.
