My son sent me some flowers and Shari Berries for Mother's Day. I do not know where he placed the order, as he lives out of state. I'm thinking the order was then sent to this shop. First, when I arrived at home, there was a notice of attempt to deliver and to call them. Couldn't get an answer that day, however, called the very next morning. They said they would deliver later in the day. The delivery came mid afternoon. The young lady handed me a box from Shari Berries and left. There was no card or message so I had no idea who had sent them, and the box was extremely warm and when I opened them, the chocolate coating was beginning to melt and the strawberries were weeping. The other thing I noticed was that the berries were quite small, some very small. Disappointing to say the least. Later that afternoon, my husband went downstairs to our garage and upon opening the garage door to bring in the trash can noticed some flowers sitting on the stairs going up to the backyard patio. We live on an acre of land and out home sets on the corner of two streets, with the garage downstairs and the front door upstairs. He called me to come downstairs and I was shocked to see the flowers sitting midway up the stairs to the back patio. It had rained on the 8th of May, and these flowers were left there and the paper (not card) was wet. When I read it I saw it was from my son. I took them upstairs and was about to call my son when he called me as he couldn't understand what was going on with the delivery. He had been notified that the flowers had been delivered, but was having difficulty delivering the rest of the order. I told him I had received the strawberries and found the flowers in the backyard on the steps. I told him he might want to contact the shop and let them know that the delivery and product was unacceptable. He said he would do that.
As I went to refresh the water in the vase, I noticed that some of the flowers were brown and already wilting, the arrangement was not professionally created; it was very simple, as if the flowers were just thrown into the vase haphazzardly. I won't complain any more to my son, as not to ruin his thoughtfullness. When the time is appropriate, I will tell him not to place any orders through this shop - he spent quite a bit of money and the product(s) were not of quality or freshness. I don't want him wasting his hard earned money.
As my husband and I tried to figure out what happened, we realized that the flowers and berries were delivered at the same time. So that meant that the flowers were placed downstairs in the backyard and left, and then the person went to the front door (upstairs) and left the card notifying that they had attempted to deliver the berries. I'm beginning to think the berries were kept in the vehicle overnight until they delivered them the next day. I threw the entire box of berries out!
Would not recommend this shop to anyone. read more
