| - I am not originally From Calgary, and the majority of my family is back in Eastern Canada, so I don't get to be with family a lot. That being said, my mom always wants to include me in holidays I can't go home for ... So she sent me flowers for Easter this year.
She ordered them through Sears' flower partnership (not sure what that's called), and the order just happened to come from Red Rose Florist. Unfortunately, I wasn't home to accept the delivery, so instead I got a note. From my understanding, it said I could pick up the flowers from the shop, and the order number was written under it.
I called the next day (a holiday) and found out they were open until 6. Great! Even though it was across town, it just so happened that I'd be in the neighbourhood anyway, so it worked out ... But I had misread the card. And I should have asked if my delivery was there. See, that order number was actually the neighbour's house number where the delivery was left. Totally my fault ... I should have asked when I called.
The lady who was at the shop felt so terrible that I had come so far (she thought the card was vague at best) that she gave me a very nice box of chocolates and said she'd ask the delivery person to be more specific next time. I protested (seriously: I should have asked if it was there) but she was very sweet and insisted. So now: I have my flowers and my chocolates.
In summary: I don't get flowers often these days but the service I got from this florist was a very pleasant experience.
(If I got flowers more at home, I could probably give more stars ... Next review will hopefully make up for that. ;0)
Edit: the flowers were very pretty, and my mom says they look like what she ordered. (Forgot to mention it earlier ... Was just happy I got pretty flowers.)
