You were NOT stupid. You just didn't know about ProFlowers when you ordered. They are the best on-line floral delivery service. We've been using them for many years, and it's been a delight to do business with them.
When you order from a local florist, even a good one, for long-distance delivery, the local establishment has
no control over the integrity of the business on the other end. When my mother, who lived out-of-state was terminally ill in 1975, I ordered an FTD arrangement through a very reputable florist in our town. At that time (40 years ago), I paid $50 for the nicest arrangement FTD offered. A week later, my mother was rushed to the hospital. I flew in to see her. She had slipped into a coma right before my arrival. I saw the "arrangement" at her bedside. It was the worst possible, dead-cheap, crappy little, wilted piece of s**t I'd ever seen. It probably did not cost more than 4 or 5 dollars, including delivery.
I was so angry, I returned to our florist
on my way home from the airport. They were also upset by the picture I showed them of the arrangement. They refunded my money, but it was too late.
It was the last thing my mother had seen from me before she died.
So you see, we've
all had to learn from experience. It wasn't your fault, and you should be thanked for trying to alert others. Have a good day.
