Netflorist wilted on Valentine’s Day and the Twitter reactions will make your daisy

Customers told the flower delivery service once and floral where they could shove their petals.

Oh, what a Valentine’s day. So from what we could gather, Netflorist is not having the best of days. Based on the reactions from angry customers on Twitter, we’ve surmised that Netflorist:

  • Took hours to deliver packages today; many customers are still waiting.
  • Those who received their orders complained about parcels getting mixed up
  • The packages didn’t warrant the cost as most flowers were wilted.

Netflorist admitted to several customers that it was their “worst Valentine’s Day yet” and offered to either send the parcels out tomorrow or cancel the orders and refund.

However, a third option was also made available and clients weren’t impressed: “We wait and see if this pans out, if not, we can deal with it then.” We have reached out to Netflorist for comment.

Twitter was divided into three camps. Those who raged about their Valentine’s Day deliveries, those who laughed heartily, and some offered advice.

Disgruntled customers

The words “rip off” were used liberally (some swear words too) and customers demanded their money back.

Some customers thought that ordering in advance would beat the Valentine’s Day rush but alas, they were wrong.

Yet others were disgusted by the state of flowers. Roses where wilted and bouquets did not resemble the pictures advertised on the Netflorist website.

Words from the wise

One user known only as Sure Kamhunga said that Netflorist definitely needs to do something about this, and added:

“People trust their emotions with you, and you have failed some of your clients. A full refund is the best way to redeem. Not just apologise.”

Another user, Sue, shared a peony for her thoughts and said: “Next time, select a bunch of flowers yourself and have them couried/Ubered to the lady/man of your heart. Cheaper & better quality. OR better still hand them over in person unless she/he wants to impress the entire office with your display of love.”

And some of the hilarity:

We tried to hunt down the best tweet but there are so many. For more, take a peek at the #netflorist hashtag on Twitter.
