My ass is sore from the rapage I've just been dealt from Proflowers. That is all.

Why didn't you just call a local florist?

 

[postmortemIA]

deservedly so. If you can't find local good deal, you deserve your fate..

 

[Poulsonator]

Yea, local is the only way to go for flowers.

I did. I explained what I wanted & they're prices were even more! Granted we live in a small town so everythings just a little more pricey.

Only one in town? Should have just saddled up and told her it was, 'time to wrassle a pretty girl and kiss a bare.'

I've dealt with Proflowers once. Had a girlfriend who was living in the states at the time. Ordered her a potted miniature rose for her garden. They sent her a potted azalea instead. She liked it but the azalea was quite a bit cheaper IIRC and not what I had asked for. Didn't fight them on it though. Not worth it.

Nah not even 1 in town. I called a few places in the next few towns over. My town has a pop. of 5000. Hence Proflowers. When I worked in the biggest city in my County, we had a Costco. Their flowers were always nice, but the don't deliver.

For people in bigger towns and cities, Aldi has Valentine roses for $10. I think even Whole Foods sells Valentine roses for $16 or something like that. That's like the only good deal you can find at Whole Foods.

I will come home during lunch and put flowers and other stuff in the house, basically decorate it a bit... she reaches home before me, that should be a nice surprise!

Wow I wonder how long they've been doing this. I haven't bought flowers from them in at least 3 yrs. 1st I've heard of them delivering.

I don't get my wife flowers for holidays.

She gets them throughout the year, for no other occasion than the fact that she is my wife.

Usually every 2 weeks.

Who would have thought that buying flowers a week before Valentines day would be expensive?

We also prefer local florists for the great customer service, cheaper prices and you can see the arrangement before it's delivered.

LOL, my wife gets mad at me if I buy her stuff. She tells me not to waste the money

Most women LOVE to have flowers delivered to them at work. That way all her co-workers know just how much she is loved.

Code 4444 was supposed to be $19.99 for a dozen roses + vase delivered anytime up until yesterday on proflowers.

I've been doing this for a while. I quickly discovered the my girlfriend, without knowing the prices, tends to like the cheap bouquets. I got her one for her birthday (in addition to other stuff) for $4.99 and she said it was her favorite one.

For me, it wasn't the price of the flowers themselves, it was all the extra charges that doubled it up. Shipping + guaranteed shipping on V-day + the vase plus tax etc. The flower arrangement was actually reasonable. I even used code 2000, wasn't aware of the 4444.

how much?

Same here, she won't say anything for 10 20 dollars once a year, that to because she knows that it makes me happy, but not more than that, she will not be happy if I do it on birthdays anniversary and everything. Also jewelry, I only got to buy her once a pair of diamond rings, but I had to promise I will never do that again...

 

[thestrangebrew1]

how much?

The arrangement was $39.99 for a dozen pink long stemmed roses incl the little white flowers (baby's breath?).

EDIT: Just double checked, it was $49.99.
