No

Namechangetempissue · 29/01/2018 00:03

Very pretty, but no not really. I would have said £20 from Sainsburys (looks really similar to a bunch I saw there yesterday!)

SassySausageSupper · 29/01/2018 00:03

Possibly, depends on the area of the UK. For London I’d say yes.

Jamiefraserskilt · 29/01/2018 00:03

Nope

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 29/01/2018 00:04

I get bunches almost the same for around a tenner

Goldmonday · 29/01/2018 00:04

No way. Very nice though!!

Hofty · 29/01/2018 00:04

No Flowers

mirren3 · 29/01/2018 00:05

Nope, not even if you include the vase. That's not being rude btw, I love plain clear vases.

Wingedharpy · 29/01/2018 00:05

No......But, cut flowers can be expensive particularly if delivered by Interflora and others of that ilk.
Tell us more about them OP.

Ellisandra · 29/01/2018 00:05

Yes, if ordered from Interflora an delivered.Hard to find much under £40 in there. They're roses and more than a couple of blooms.

headoutofthesand · 29/01/2018 00:05

Was it delivered? Did it include the vase? I'd still say no but the answers to my questions would impact on how ripped off I felt.

JustHereForThePooStories · 29/01/2018 00:05

Looks like a dozen roses so probably £40 from a florist, delivered.

Wouldn’t be overly impressed with them, personally. If I was to guess, I’d say they were an £18 bunch from M&S.

EggsonHeads · 29/01/2018 00:05

No. The pink roses are too bright. The foliage is a bit coarse for that kind of arrangement. Filler flowers are somewhat lacking.

ohamIreally · 29/01/2018 00:05

For London I'd say £30

Cheby · 29/01/2018 00:05

It depends where you buy them from. Interflora is really expensive. Supermarkets not so much.

paranoidpammywhammy2 · 29/01/2018 00:05

Was it delivered?

How was it packaged?

FucksakeCuntingFuckingTwats · 29/01/2018 00:06

If its from interflora yes. I ordered my friend a bunch and was gutted when I seen them they defo weren't as big or full as the website.

Ellisandra · 29/01/2018 00:06

Btw I'm not commenting is they're worth £40.
But having arranged florist delivered flowers, that doesn't ring any taking the piss bells!

AtSea1979 · 29/01/2018 00:09

Yes I reckon it’d be around £40 from a florist. Obviously you can get some lovely flowers at Tesco and M&S much cheaper.

paranoidpammywhammy2 · 29/01/2018 00:13

A dozen red roses in a vase are £65 from Interflora.

A hand-tied arrangement is about £35-40.

shazkiwi · 29/01/2018 00:13

Assuming this came from a florist I think its heading towards £40 - roses don't come cheap & I count 10 there & maybe there are a few more hidden from view. I would like to see it hand tied with cellophane, ferns & ribbon & to know the flowers are in tip top condition - then yes worth £40

MargotLovedTom1 · 29/01/2018 00:18

The biggest rose is already browning at the edges. No, I wouldn't pay 40 quid for that, and I'd be disappointed for someone to have paid it, if the flowers were for me.

Ok
I ordered Xmas displays for a few friends, one never got delivered and this is the replacement.
The Xmas displays were beautiful, no complaints there.
This was supposed to be delivered tomorrow, was left on the step today, showing everyone that no-one was home.
And I think it's a bit pathetic for £40.
Local seller at the station does beautiful boxes for £40.
They came in a large box, bit of arty string around them.
It's next flowers

OP, I've been really disappointed with Next flowers as well, both as a giver and as a recipient.
I've had to complain twice. The bouquets were much sparser than the website photograph AND the flowers were poor quality, already on the turn.
I will never use them again.
