Very angry!

I recently ordered some flowers as a gift in the UK (we live in Australia). I used a UK service as it is much cheaper than Interflora or other international companies.

I spoke to my family a few days later and they had found a card saying that a parcel was waiting for them at the post office. This was now Sat afternoon so they didn't have time to go and thought there would be no problem waiting until Monday. They were of course very upset to find a box of dead flowers waiting for them.

The terms and conditions on the website state that they would try to leave with a neighbour first (which they didn't do) and failing that they would try to re-deliver later on (which they didn't do) and leave a card with a phone no to contact (which they didn't do).

I wrote to them and asked for a refund or a re-delivery. They state that they tried to deliver them and could only deliver to the recipient (which is not what it said on the T&Cs) and if they are not there they will be delivered to the post office.

They are completely ignoring my emails now. I have just today threatened legal action as they are in breach of contract.

What should I do now, it is so hard being so far away and they are just ignoring my emails now! SO SO ANGRY!!

Flowers for Valentine's [slugs]

The letter I sent to them...

*******************************************************************

Georgina, Richard,

I am writing to confirm the recepient received the flowers, teddy and balloon on the day as requested. I am also writing to complain about the contents as follows:

1. I paid extra for medium to receive "as displayed" and all the oriental lillies are still buds none have flowered which is a slight disappointment from a quality as well as colour/vivid point of view, then again they will improve with time.

2. I cannot believe this occurence was disgusted further by the presence of slugs in the bouquet, which is outright disgusting and simply unacceptable.

I can understand mistakes happen but this is too much for my valentine, and more importantly my fiance. Now I just cant face her and her family to think the flowers were a a letdown but slugs as well. It says a lot about me and my choice of gifts and their suppliers.

I shopped around to find the nicest bouquet across all websites, with guaranteed delivery on the saturday, no consideration for price or reputation (which is hard to find). Now Im regretting it and will most likely next time go with reputation rather than going by just pictures.

I am not looking for any financial imbursment, I just want you to know how dissatisfied and upset both me and my fiance are and hope its not affected other couples. However, if you feel there is anything that can make up for this humiliating Valentine's day, I will reserve an open mind to your suggestions.
