"Florists and Mother's Day"

Am I the only person who's had trouble trying to get flowers delivered to my mum actually ON Mother's Day?

I got a list of several local florists from the Yellow Pages website... none of them do Sunday deliveries.

I tried Interflora - supposedly the largest in the world - and they don't do it either.

I finally found Flowers2Send.co.uk - and they do Sunday deliveries for special occasions, such as Mother's Day!

Well, usually.

I ordered the best arrangement they do, and thought "Great! Mum will really like them!"

Then I got an e-mail from them. Because they couldn't come to a suitable arrangement with their couriers, they were unable to provide a Mother's Day delivery this year. They've managed in previous years, and they are already working on it for 2003 - but not this year.

Sod's law, isn't it? I don't usually get flowers, because they die - I usually get something longer lasting. But the one year I decide to get flowers, and the one place I find that delivers on Mother's Day suddenly can't do it.

See, my problem is that I don't see the point having them delivered after the event on the Monday; and because they can't give a delivery time, I can't guarantee that my mum will actually be in on the Saturday when they arrive - and I'd really like for her to be there and answer the door to the delivery.

So what is it with florists and Mother's Day? I'm sure they'd all do much better business if they delivered on Sunday. It can't be that hard to do it just for one Sunday out of the year, surely?

Getting mine a DVD.

Heh.

Thanks for the tip... but I've already re-ordered, and I can't be asked to change it again!

The first time I look at this forum and I find Wookie talking about Flowers - maybe there is an ounce of normality in him somewhere.

Anyway the answer you are looking for is Debenhams - the only times they deliver on Sundays is Mothers Day and when Valentines falls on a Sunday. check out www.debenhams.com

So glad someone else asked this question, didn't have a clue when it was.

Thanks Craw it's now in the diary.

10th March. A week sunday.

So when is Mother's Day?

Not really the ideal Mother's Day present though. Unless your mum's into that sort of thing, of course... which mine isn't!

Like I said, good porn collection.

Yeah, but I want something nice and well presented - not just whatever Mr. Car Boot Salesman has yanked from his neighbours garden that morning!
