I have to say, this is February 14, and you post this the same day and with that title?

Carol_Hill said: I have to say, this is February 14, and you post this the same day and with that title? Sorry Carol...but you may be way off base here. Yes...it is the same day.....but it IS Valentines Day, and if this florist promised delivery for Valentines Day, and it was posted at 8:30 PM, I don't blame the OP for being upset. Obviously, his present for his wife for Valentine's Day has been ruined!!!!!! To go off on the poster in defense of a ''sponsor'' is just plain wrong. Sponsor or not, this company blew it bigtime. Would it be better if the valentines flowers are delivered tomorrow...the day after?? the answer is NO. Very poor service deserves notice.

May be- just may be you should be choosing sponsors more carefully...

My point is that they should have given it another day or so to see if the business contacted them with some kind of an explanation before posting. Obviously, the flowers weren't delivered on time.

KGB said: May be- just may be you should be choosing sponsors more carefully... With all due respect, a business' advertising on TTOL doesn't come with the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Not every business is run like Queen SXM Rental phones or Shopndrop grocery service, two of my personal TTOL advertisers.. What happened is unfortunate and their follow-up stinks, but considering it's the Caribbean, where the pervasive attitude is all too often, "No worries, Mon!" I don't think pointing fingers at TTOL is warranted. And I hope they do come around to at least trying to make amends to the OP and his spouse - they certainly should. But in the end, at least she knows his heart and good intentions were in the right spot and that should be enough to overcome the disappointment. At least, it would work for me...... Just my personal opinion. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Tom said: My thoughts (for what it's worth). I think most would agree that this business screwed up. Some of us ran our own businesses and sometimes we screwed up. The most important thing is what action this business takes now to make amends. I hope they make an effort to make things right. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

That was my point. At least give them a day or two to do that. We all agree that they didn't provide what was contracted for. But those of us who run small businesses know that 'stuff happens'. If there was going to be a day that a flower delivery service has a meltdown, it would be on Valentine's Day. It's like going to your favorite restaurant on Valentine's and waiting two hours for your food and it's cold. At least give them a day or two to at least respond to your complaint. They're not going to be able to 'make it right', but at least give them some chance to respond.

Thanks for the update and sorry it did not work out. Are you going to attempt to resolve this further or continue the dispute on your credit card? Doesn't sound at all like a good experience.
