This is why you go to Albertsons on the way home from work.

I was helped by HEB floral delivery today at 10:00 am and their arrangement turned out great. I tried 1800, and two flower shops really close to the recipient and they were useless.

All hail HEB

Dispute the charge on your CC. The guaranteed a delivery date and didn't, literally, deliver.

You get your money back, she get more flowers tomorrow. Win-Win!

Also they cannot refund my money but they will give me 10% off on my next order to make up for the inconvenience.


Hell of a deal that you can use for next year's day-after-Valentines.

ETA: I was able to run down to the hospital gift shop and buy some flowers before they closed. So crisis averted but 1800flowers.com needs to DIAF!!!!!!!!




Honestly Sam's has better flowers than most floral shops for half the price.

Is it really that hard to just go buy roses yourself? Even pharmacies have roses in stock today

Does your significant other really want flowers? I can’t imagine something that shows I don’t really give a frick but here you go just because I’m supposed to more than flowers on Valentine’s Day.

yes


She buys fresh flowers for the house every week. Few times a year I'm sure she enjoys having some nice flowers delivered to her already put together in a nice new vase.


I love it since it's so easy for me to make her happy, just order from the local florist via email.

Win win

I learned this lesson the hard way myself when I paid $80 for an arrangement that looked perfect for her in their picture, but arrived looking less than mediocre.

Last year I went and picked out the flowers, called her at work and told her to come out to her car where I was waiting with them by surprise. Went over REAL well, got me plenty of action the following nights.

If you can deliver them yourself, ALWAYS do that instead.
