“That’s the second time I had flowers delivered from M&S and the second time they are VERY VERY BAD QUALITY. My parents in law sent me flowers for my birthday 2 months ago and now for Xmas and both time the quality of flowers is absolutely terrible! The flowers are nearly dry! I can’t say it to them they are in their late 70s they would be very upset. Shame on you M&S!”

“Ordered flowers on 10th Dec for delivery on 21st so that I could prepare the table decoration on the 22nd for Christmas Day. I did not read the reviews before ordering and simply trusted the good reputation of this brand. BIG MISTAKE. They did not arrive on the specified day and when I checked the tracking the following early afternoon around 1.00pm the record showed “delivery refused” at 9.31pm on the 21st followed by two more entries a minute apart ultimately saying they would deliver the next day. The tracking also recorded an attempted delivery at 8.49 am on the 22nd with no answer. At that time I was with my husband in the room next door to the front door bell chime and I can assure you nobody rang the bell or knocked the front door or rang the gate bell which calls my phone. I called customer service who offered no apology , advised the flowers I ordered were no longer available and said she would arrange a delivery of alternative flowers of who knows whose choice which would be delivered Christmas Eve. A refund was offered but by this time it is too late to find Christmas flowers for sale. They are all sold and, anyway, I have no time to shop around. We had planned to have everything ready for the table early on Christmas Eve for our party and then spend the evening relaxing with our friends at their open house party in the evening. A considerable amount of distress has been caused by incompetent personnel at M&S and DPD and unsympathetic staff at M&S. Never will I buy anything again either online or in store from this outfit staffed by inept managers and their incompetent , uncaring staff.”

“Ordered flowers on Wednesday for delivery Friday and after emails promising deliveries and delaying deliveries I decided to ring, a week later and ask if they had actually been delivered as the tracking is 3 days behind informing me they are in transit. As the goods are perishable they have now been destroyed. I can have a refund or resend. A no brainer a refund please. The last delivery promised was Saturday night between 8pm and 10pm!! What's wrong with an email informing you there is a problem can you please contact us. The flowers were for a friend whose son suddenly collapsed and died and I just wanted to do something. I will never bother with M and S flowers on line again. I would have selected no stars if it was available.”

“I bought a £20 bunch of flowers , they looked gorgeous so thought I'd treat myself the next day they all look dead . Customer servicecsay take back receipt and all packaging, who keeps all the packaging? It's a 15 mile round trip back so this isn't an option either. Won't buy again.”

“Order placed for flowers and champagne for a special birthday. I was informed in the afternoon of the delivery date that there was a problem, the order was damaged in transit and would not be delivered. No option for anything to be delivered on the day, only choices redelivery on a later date or a refund. One very dissatisfied customer and an very unhappy recipient, will think more than twice before ordering from Marks and Spencer again.”

“We are buying regularly flowers from M&S. We can see over the last months repeatedly that fresh flowers and tired flowers are mixed together in a bunch. I find this an impossible betrayal on customers.”

“A friend sent me flowers from M and S - half were dead and drooping - I couldn’t tell that to my friend of course as it would have ruined her kindness to have to complain etc”

“Recieved as a birthday present, a rose bowl of supposedly live minature roses. On opening the transportation box to find the roses had fallen out of the bowl, and on further inspection the roses were completly devoid of any form of moisture and out of a full bowl of roses only two had survived. Really disapointed with M and S. Would not recommend people to waste their money.”

“Do not order flowers from M&S online! The rose and freesia bouquet did not contain any freesias and the 4 roses included were dead, as were the other flowers. Delivery was supposed to be next day but they were delivered a day late by DPD. Photos were forwarded to 'customer services' who immediately agreed that they would issue an ecard voucher, whilst I really wanted a fresh replacement. This could not be done without informing my daughter and her partner. I wanted to avoid this as they were sent to commemorate the anniversary of her father's death. The customer service person did apologise but as if reading from a script. I asked her to 'escalate my complaint as i do not want anyone else to be disappointed. It seems to me that this is an everyday occurrence which management are not bothered to address.”

“These flowers didn’t even merit one star but couldn’t otherwise leave a review Whatever happened to M&S standards ? A gift box ordered to say thank you to a friend turned up after 10 days with brown dying roses. Some gift ! We complained & got a refund but that’s not what we wanted. We had wanted a quality thank you gift . We have actually also received dying flowers ourselves from M&S as a gift from family. If other companies can do it why can’t M&S. Shame. Will not order gifts from them again”

“Delivered to billing address not delivery address. No responsibility for this as it was deemed customer error. I know I put both addresses in carefully. Will not order from them again.”

“I received online flowers as a present. The delivery box was so sturdy it was almost impossible to open. Then the flowers were far too well secured by string and I ended up cutting through the flower feed sachet as I tried to cut through the string. After all that the flowers only lasted a few days. Very disappointing. M & S please look how Bloom & Wild do there packaging....their boxes are very easy to open and fold down for recycling and the flowers are wrapped in paper ...no tight string in sight. It took all the pleasure away from receiving a gift.”
