phone call, names, dates, phone#s, emails are also effective. We always copy all emails & anything sent or
received. They have internal problems for sure. Anyway, if you have a way to get to the main office,
& complain or a letter to them that will help. I'm sorry for all women, children, & others for this. I feel for you.
I know a lot of you don't understand the concept of V-Day. My boyfriend told me this year how he hates it because of the constant pressure by commercialÂs & it's not a holiday. So this year I suggested we cancel it.
I went out & got me somthing on my own, yes I was upset at first but, I have to respect what he feels.
When I came home he wasn't feeling good & still made a little dinner for us. That means a lot.

got what I wanted. Didn't cost much. $Stores & good old Walgreens. I think this may be my tradition.

I had an order shipped from 1-800-Flowers and it was perfect.
I know for those who are not there it is worse because they were trying to make up for not being there, and I feel sorry for them in that situation, but most of these whiners were with their loved ones on V-Day, the ONLY problem was no flowers? WOW!
For those who did not get their flowers, have a freeking care about other people, wait a couple days for the furor to die down and then call for your money. You will get it. I can assure you that the folks at 1-800-Flowers were freaking out yesterday, trying to get everything taken care of. Imagine having NO life on Valentine's Day and every other holiday because some schmuck expects you to deliver flowers to his girlfriend who he lives with. WTHeck?!!? Buy your flowers locally, deliver them yourself. I understand your point that they garenteed V-day delivery and all, but you have SOOO many other options and the flowers are just not that big of a deal in the grand scheme. People are dying all over the world and you missed out on V-day Flowers. UGH!
Flowers are the most generic, last-minute, played-out, gift you can give on Valentine's Day. If I were a woman, I'd be offended to receive them...they take no thought and provide no real statement of love or affection other than...hey...at least I got you something.
Its the though that counts, and if he hadn't sent ANY flowers, I would have loved him either way...but I think that since the company did not come through, it is still an issue. Valentines day will ALWAYS be filled with unnecessary items, but companies who make a promise to deliver, are required to keep that. That is all the article is saying.
