Thank you so much.
I arrived at the shop around 2:55pm expecting a quick/simple pick up. However, as there was only one staff member in store, I queued patiently while the customer ahead of me was dealt with - around 10 minutes. Time ticking away....
I eventually received the flowers, only to find that they had been made up into a posy, with diamantes added - nice but not what I ordered - for a funeral, for a man.... After feeling and probably looking puzzled, I politely pointed out that I was expecting a sheaf, the florist checked the order and realised it was their error and I waited another 10 or so minutes for it to be reconfigured into a sheaf - it was not the country sheaf..... I didn't have time to discuss the situation as I now only had around 10 minutes to get to the funeral which was 20+ minutes away.
With traffic and finding where I needed to park/be, I arrived at the funeral 20 minutes late and could not go in which upset me.
To cap it all, this week I received notification of proceedings for speeding on that afternoon (35mph in a 30mph zone on Longbridge Rd).
I didn't anticipate the wait and incorrect order issues because reviews were generally good but with the knock on effect, all in all, this was not a great experience for me.
