If you ordered this and this was what arrived would you be pissed?

First pic is the photo on the website, second is what arrived. I know the lilies haven’t opened yet and they obviously aren’t displayed in a vase, but AIBU?
They were on sale but RRP was £40

But it's just the lillies that are different? Much nicer to have unopened flowers. £40 is steep but internet ordered flowers always are.

dementedpixie · 14/08/2018 16:58

Does it have the same amount of flowers as in the picture?

MsOliphant · 14/08/2018 16:59

I think you have one less rose. Are there less lillies?

dementedpixie · 14/08/2018 16:59

Having them unopened means they will last longer

FancyADoughnut · 14/08/2018 16:59

Well it looks like you are one rose down if I counted correctly and I can't see how many lilies you have from the photo. I am wondering if you displayed them out in a vase it might look better as obviously the photo in the website has them displayed at their best.

Mooey89 · 14/08/2018 17:02

To be fair, this is just the pic MIL sent so I can’t see it properly, and yes if they were in a vase they would look much better.
I think it’s that there’s a couple less Lillies, one less rose, and looks to be less foliage, but maybe it is just the picture.

Did you order the standard one with free chocs for £20?

CanIBuffalo · 14/08/2018 17:02

The roses will probably be past their best before the lillies open so I get your point but you don't want lillies sent open in case the pollen stains their petals.

dementedpixie · 14/08/2018 17:03

The one shown on the website is the medium one and costs extra. The standard one would therefore have fewer flowers but will be cheaper

Chalady · 14/08/2018 17:05

They should look better in a vase. I would email the shop a photo if you are still not happy, after arranging them and trimming the bottoms

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 14/08/2018 17:05

Potentially a rose down but potentially there's one hiding at the back there. I can't really tell how many lillies but also potentially less foliage. I'd want to see them in a vase before I could really comment.

Hadalifeonce · 14/08/2018 17:06

After several disappointing flower arrangements from online 'florists' I now google a local florist to the recipient, and call them with an order. I have yet to have a duff arrangement arrive. The photo from your MIL looks pretty off.

dementedpixie · 14/08/2018 17:07

It depends which one has been sent as the picture from the website shows a medium bouquet which is bigger than the standard one so it will have more flowers.

Mooey89 · 14/08/2018 17:10

It was the medium one demented

The online photo has 6 lillies (2 of those unopened) and 6 roses

Your flowers have what looks like 4 lillies and 5 roses so yes they aren't right I'd ring and complain

TheIcon · 14/08/2018 17:13

I'm not sure how that delivery would get you drunk?

lplo · 14/08/2018 17:13

It actually looks like you've only 3 lillies in your bunch.

Pickleypickles · 14/08/2018 17:14

I think it's hard to say unless they were displayed in a vase

Aaaahfuck · 14/08/2018 17:20

They don't look great. But as others have said hard to say if not in a vase.

SirVixofVixHall · 14/08/2018 17:22

Yes you have far fewer flowers overall. It looks smaller because the lilies haven’t opened yet, of course , but you still are missing at least three blooms there. They seem to have sent the small not the medium. Call and complain.

Jojo042017 · 14/08/2018 17:27

I had the exact same experience with this company, ordered 100 roses and got half dead mini roses I was lucky if there was 20. I complained and they refereed it to their florist, she was a happy that the flowers were healthy so wouldnt offer a refund just a 10% off next purchase voucher - awful company

DappledThings · 14/08/2018 17:28

I wouldn't be so disappointed I'd get drunk, no

Talith · 14/08/2018 17:30

I have a feeling I ordered from the same company and complained because the flowers were listed as scented and they weren't. Took a bit of back and forth but ended up with a voucher for the full value.

Maelstrop · 14/08/2018 17:49

Always use a local florist who will deliver. I’ve used the same one for my parents for years, they know they’re getting repeat orders so they do a great job every time.

Rebecca36 · 14/08/2018 17:53

Lovely! You just wait until the lilies open up.

Flowers are usually sent like that. You got a bargain at £40.
