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!!
