“I ordered flowers for my mum for the 23rd December 2020 from mark and spencer subscription did not come so I phoned them 5times to have the phone put down on me. NOT GOOD. I did get a man Kevin on the phone he did help I had to pick some flowers up to £40.00 which I picked some for £25.00 and he put some chocolate and wine. That was nice. So She got the first order of flowers on the 30th Dec 2020 a week later. They were poor flowers some of them where dead. The second order was delivered on time the 31st Dec 2020. And they where poor some of them were dead. I went in to mark and spencer shop they didn't want to no. 😩 So I have cancelled the subscription now. Very poor customer service and one member of staff in the carlisle shop was very poor 😩😩.”

“Ordered 6mths subscription and still waiting delivery a week late!!! Called so many times and no one wishes to help in any way. My poor 90+ grandmother keeps waiting for her delivery and nothing comes with very little vision to see delivery drivers it makes it even worse. Can’t describe the disappointment that m and a s has caused. Been a loyal customer and even chose m and s as I thought go for a company you trust.......not any more, still waiting discussed let’s hope if the do arrive after taking money already that their amazing, don’t hold out much hope 😔”

“Received two bouquets of flowers from M&s for my retirement and they wilted within a week. Received a bouquet of flowers from Tesco finest still looking healthy and have had them for over two weeks, and tesco flowers are half the price. I did contact M&S but they said their flowers only have a 5 day guarantee. Very disappointed with flowers and M&S feedback. I am now no longer one of their customers.”

“A Christmas bouquet was ordered by my daughter for me. It was packed well and delivered on Christmas Eve. It was very poor. There was a great deal of foliage and only 5 almost dead carnations. Such a disappointment and embarrassment.”

“I sent 4 Christmas bouquets to friends today (Christmas eve) 3 were fine but the 4th friend said how awful they were. Either dead or stems broken. No water around the stems. So disappointing as she had been isolating since March and I thought this bouquet would cheer her up. I must say I am very disappointed as M and S usually have high standards. Will not use at Christmas again.”

“Just received a 'Christmas' bouquet from M&S from my daughter. Daren't tell her what it was like, she would be as disappointed as I am. Broken flowers, drooping flowers, petals falling off, stems stuck together to hold them up(!), not packed with water, to save 'precious resources' apparently. A sorry contrast with a really gorgeous Waitrose bouquet from my son.”

“Embarrassed and disappointed; £45.00 Collection Blush Bouquet Christmas gift; recipient emailed picture on delivery today: could have cried; doubt it'll last through Christmas; possibly orchids may survive. Never again B E Taylor”

“So disappointed with the Christmas bouquet from my son. They arrived dried up and broken. Almost ready to throw away. I could have cried. Not even a little sachet with them. I tried to put a cone head back on with a rubber band. Worse, I’d sent 2 of the same to relatives for Christmas. Never again. Utter waste of money.”

“Ordered 4 Christmas bouquets. First arrived today, transported in box with arrows pointing upwards as you would assume was right, clearly not as found flowers upside down in the box, a number of flowers broken and damaged however even without the upside down issue the quality is appalling for the £50 I paid for them. Not brought M&S flowers before and won’t be placing another order.”

“Do not order from them. Advised online by YODEL of all people delivery was refused as it was damaged but they have been in the house all day with no curtains up as they are moving in so its lies. cant tell you how splendid the flowers are as they use YODEL to deliver ... bad call marks and spencer, assumed quality delivered by cowboys. Suprise ruined.”

“On Monday I received a winter wonderland bouquet which arrived in the evening. I was very excited as I really like receiving flowers unexpectedly. On opening the box the card inside Happy Christmas, With lots of love from a family I have never even heard of. I spent 45 minutes on the 'phone to M & S where I quoted the order no. and found out where the flowers were from. This took the shine off of the bouquet and obviously someone had my flowers and card in retrospect. I felt that I had to report the incident”

“If I could give M&S a minus star rating I would. It was my 50th this year and my cousin's 60th. We had planned to spend the time together on both days and then Covid struck. As such, I wanted her to know I was thinking of her on her birthday. I ordered the flowers in good time and on the day of delivery, I got an email (at 2.07am) to tell me they were delayed for a minimum of one day. As of today, the day after, they are booked for redelivery "whenever" M&S feel they can get around to it so I have cancelled the order. It is, however still going to take them up to ten days to refund me. I am beyond disgusted but am also bitterly disappointed my cousin didn't get her flowers on her special birthday. I can't slate M&S enough.”

“I have had lots of flowers delivered, just coming out of hospital. Out of all the 7 bouquets I received, two from Marks & Spencer’s are the worst. Broken stems, wilted leaves, along with browning leaves and brown petals. I would say if you cannot fulfill quality don’t bother. Certainly not value and quality.”

“I ordered a large Poinsettia which was delivered today. The plant was very nice but had two stems completely broken off and still inside the carrier box. The box was supposed to have protected the plant in transit but clearly the handling was too rough for it to be effective. A lesson learned I fear. Next year I will do what I did last year which was to buy a plat from Lidl. The plant was excellent and completely undamaged. It was also very much cheaper.”

“Had some roses sent to my mum for her ruby anniversary, they were supposed to be delivered at 2pm they arrived at 6.30pm. They were dumped at a back door of the hotel, i had to phone the hotel to go and look for them. The flowers and chocolates got soaked as it was raining, the bag and box were all ripped! Absolutely awful for £55! Second time this has happened! I sent roses to my sister 2months ago and they got left on her doorstep. Would of ordered of interflora or next instead!”

“I ordered a flower delivery for my daughters birthday during lockdown and they were never delivered. They gave a feeble excuse that DPD could not deliver to the timescale so gave up because they were perishable”

“Ordered some items on a buy 3 and get 4th free. Only 3 arrived so when I used on line chat they said only 3 had been placed in my basket then hung up on me. I returned to their site and placed 3 items in my basket, then added an extra one - lo & behold, 4 items in my basket but only 3 charged for. M&S please note, dont advertise buy 3 and get 4th free,to avoild confusion just say buy 4 and get one free. and get your agents some customer service training.”
