“Bouquet of Roses ordered from M&S for mums birthday but they sent a bunch of Iris's instead. The bouquet that did arrive from DPD had approx 5 heads snapped off the flowers where they had been mistreated during transit. Box was left outside my door with flowers upside down. Finally got to through to someone in the chat and got a refund but no apology for the appealing service. Will avoid in future.”

“I am sorry to be doing this to such an established British Company with a one time high quality service and goods. Sadly I am going to repeat another complaint I have just read on this site. Yesterday I received a bunch of flowers for my birthday which half the flowers were limp including the leaves I realise it was mainly the bunch of tulips added to the bunch. The website chat box is totally unstable and after 3 attempts and being cut off I ended up phoning customer service. After explaining they were limp and could send evidence the operative said there was no need and would send another bunch. Sadly they arrived next day in exactly the same condition. Limp leaves and collapsing tulips. I can’t say how disappointing this experience is it’s as if no complaint was put in and nobody has learnt. My sister in law who sent the flowers does not know yet as she will be derverstated to be let down by a highly regarded company. I don’t know who you are employing but the obviously have no pride in their employment position or the training is lacking. I realise customer service does not care either so sadly this is my warning to other potential customers.”

“We received online flowers from Marks & Spencer they were half dead. We complained and they sent out another bunch of half dead flowers totally unacceptable they cost £40 and were only fit for the bin.”

“i have shopped at M+S for many years and the food and customer services are great but when you read Torquays reviews its very disturbing and upsetting and the managers that did these awful things to that customer and to make allegations that clearly were false its not surprising they feel so anxious and so the pair of them should its one thing to Lie but to Lie to the police OMG i wouldn't sleep at night”

“Most appalling bouquet of flowers were delivered. They were called ‘Thinking of You ‘ . Well there were only 4 white roses and one of them was dead ! Everything else was just wilting greenery . I phoned m&s , complained and they kindly sent the same arrangement again . I assumed the first delivery was just a hiccup so I was absolutely horrified when the second bouquet arrived the same !!! I have taken photos and will be taking these to m&s tomorrow to discuss . These were a special birthday present and I know the sender would be absolutely mortified to see what a total waste of money the flowers were . Whatever florist has this contract should be removed as I certainly would never order or recommend m&s flowers !! The attached photos show what should have arrived as seen on the m&s page whilst the other photo is what actually did arrive”

“On 3 occasions in recent weeks our family have had flowers delivered and on each occasion they have been absolutely awful, almost dead or with one of the planted baskets all the flowers and compost was out and a total mess which my 90 year old mother had to clear up and try to re plant. They really are relying on the M&S name being quality, but unfortunately in my experience and I’m sure many others this has not been the case. And you really cannot tell the sender without sounding ungrateful, so in effect it’s like streaming peoples money without any responsibility regarding product”

“Ordered a celebration bouquet champagne and chocs for Aunts joint 90th and golden wedding. They arrived at 7pm after being loaded on Yodel van at noon. The flowers were done. How many special days do you get in your life? Customer advisor said we cant do anything and for me to ask the recipient what was the condition ...how could you phone up and do that? how humiliating! If M and S cant be trusted to carry out such a emotive trusting service they shouldnt be offering it. Appalling!!!!”

“I ordered a bouquet for my aunt's 100th birthday. It was delivered by dpd courier. Despite saying "fragile" on the box and handle with care fresh flowers. The box was dented, dropped on the porch at 7.30 in the morning and left. When opened the flowers inside were wilted and didn't last the day let alone the 5 guaranteed days. An absolute waste of money. Don't waste your money support a local independent florist instead, which is what I'll be doing in the future”

“Sunflowers orded by our son for my wifes birthday. Yodel delivered them, we didn't know any thing about them as they were to be a birthday surprise and they were certainly that. They were left in our porch, driver never wrung the doorbell or knocked on door we only knew someone was about due to our dog started barking. The boxed flowers was soaking wet,damaged and severely tapped up with brown tape. When we got into the box we found the water bag empty and the flowers in a disgraceful condition. Reading all of these awful reviews does anyone at M&S take the trouble to read them and do something about them. M&S need another courier as these flowers should not have delivered in that condition. DISGUSTING.”

“I ordered some flowers to be delivered for a relative's 70th birthday. Order number 306-0041387-1577407 The flowers were scheduled for delivery on Monday 21/11/22. On phoning my relative (6pm)no flowers had been delivered . I waited for 15 minutes for the M&S adviser to answer the phone . The phone line was awful and it was very difficult to understand what was being said . The advisor sounded disinterested and made no apology about either the time I had waited on the phone or the fact that the flowers had not been delivered. She said ' ok do you want a refund? ' I asked when the flowers would be delivered and she replied that they were held up by Yodel and that they would be delivered tomorrow. It was only when my daughter took over the call that I was offered a refund . The flowers were finally delivered a day late and my relative sent pictures. I can honestly say I was speechless- they were half dead and did not resemble the pictures on the site I ordered from.”

“I ordered flowers from M&S as I had been doing after watching Denise van outen webinar months ago. Every time in the past they’d been incredible. But this time was a different story! I ordered them on 14.11 & it was 21.11 & still nothing!! So I called customer service to enquire. They said they had got lost. I was shocked! Had I not called I would have received nothing & paid for that luxury. The customer service person said they’d refund me but that it would take 5 days. Anyways, tonight I did receive the flowers! They were wilted. I am so disappointed in the service but don’t understand why!! I’m glad I asked for a refund but annoyed it will take 5 days to appear in my account!”

“I have ordered flowers for my husband's birthday from M&S. The quality was awful. The flowers where half dead, no water provided during transport and therefore didn't look like what I ordered or expected. I contacted M&S via online chat and they resend a new bunch of flowers, no apology though. Today the new "fresh" flowers arrived and they look as tired and dead as the previous bunch they sent. Never again.”
