Hello Chris

I just wanted to email you to thank you for the great service you and your company provided when I ordered a Ruby Wedding rose from you for my parent's wedding anniversary. Not only did I appreciate the phone call to tell me when the rose was being delivered, but I was also so very touched when the message I included to be sent to my parents with the rose was put in an actual wedding anniversary card.

I spent a considerable amount of time on the Internet trying to decide which company I should buy my rose from, and I am so very pleased that I chose yours!

Thank you again.

Kindest regards

Sam McFerran

Ps. My parents were thrilled with the rose!

Dear Chris,

Just to let you know how delighted we are with our 2 Boogie Woogie roses received from you via your online service. I have to say I was a little dubious about ordering online, never having ordered plants that way before. Our experience with your company has now banished any doubts I may have had, as your service and quality of plants is excellent. An efficient message was left on my phone by a really freindly, relaxed sounding guy, and they were delivered at the earliest time mentioned. We were thrilled as they arrived in perfect time to plant in our daughter's front garden, for her and her husband's return from honeymoon. Needless to say they were very pleased indeed. I remember returning from our honeymoon to find my parents-n-law had planted 'Peace' and 'Queen Elizabeth' roses in our front garden. They have moved with us and the latter is still going strong after 31 years! When the 'Peace' finally failed, we replaced it with a 'Boogie Woogie', hence our choice for our daughter. Thank you for your part in allowing us to continue our 'tradition', please pass on our thanks to your team.
I wish we lived closer so we could visit in person, but we shall be visiting virtually in future!

Kind regards,
Kathy Parker

Apologies for not contacting you before this.  I would like to say thank you for the safe arrival at my address of the Patio chairs, table and parasol with base.  There was absolutely no damage to any of the items, everything was so well packed and wrapped I think it took longer to unpack than it did to arrive at my address from your warehouse.  We have enjoyed many hours in our garden sitting in the sun on our purchase and hope to enjoy the same for years to come.  However at this precise moment in time Coventry is in the middle of a thunder storm hence the time to email you and say thanks.

Should we or any of our friends require anything in the future that you can supply we would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Hi

I felt I had to let you know of my experience with your company.  Initially I made a real "hash" of making my order over the internet, but having spoken to one of your employees I was told of this.  On Monday I re-ordered my patio set with a vague hope of receiving it before the bank holiday weekend.  I telephoned to make sure I had done it correctly this time and a lovely lady and I had a good laugh about me being a "dumb blond".  The following day a very pleasant gentleman telephoned me to say my order was ready for despatch and would be with me some time on Wednesday (if this was not convenient and another day would be better I was to let him know!)  Such service.  I was very happy to take a day off work to wait for my furniture and I didn't have to wait too long.  By lunchtime a very pleasant delivery driver dropped off my very, very nice patio set.  Among the paperwork there was a handwritten note from "Ben" with a telephone number to contact him should I have any problems.  Said furniture is now put together and gracing my patio - I have never, ever known such superb service and friendly staff.  Please pass on my thanks to all concerned.

 

A very, very, happy customer

Dear Mr Smith

Having spent most of last weekend trawling the likes of B&Q, Homebase, FocusDIY and IKEA to gain inspiration for the best Christmas tree for our new office, whilst googling on Monday, I hit upon your website and found the perfect tree - black, 6ft, fibre optic and not only that, 25% off with pocket change delivery charges.  I wasted no time in ordering the tree, which also came with 20 free lights!  I then went back and read the delivery times (after ordering) and was slightly concerned to read that orders would be delivered between 2 and 15 days from order.  I had visions of the tree arriving as we were shutting up shop for Christmas.  I hope therefore that you can appreciate my delight when, less than 48 hours from ordering, our handsome, 6ft, black, fibre optic tree (plus free lights) arrived, in plenty of time to be set up this weekend.  Not only was it superbly packed, but extremely easy to erect.  Somewhat sad that it has to go back in the box until the weekend.

So I just wanted to say, on behalf of the Company, a big thank for solving our Christmas tree dilemma, for an excellent product and equally excellent service - I will email a photograph to you once we have put it up and had the grand switching on ceremony!

Kind regards and best wishes for the festive season.

Dear Ms Jones 

Many thanks for your message. How good to find a local trader who actually replies to emails. I was beginning to think there was nobody out there...........

I understand about the server going down. I will order again via your website.

Thanks once more.

Dear Shrubs

Just want to thankyou for a very efficient service, ordered on the 22nd May and received on the 24th May!  Very pleased with the product, pricing etc.

Also please that wasn't ripped off when it came to the cost of the postage, some companies seem to take pride in the excessive cost of the postage!

Again

Many thanks

Dear Sandra

 

The replacement tree arrived this morning less than 48 hours after Joe told me it would be replaced. This is an excellent service and I would like to convey my thanks to you all ( including Joe ! ) for a very swift and efficient service. It's really nice to talk to someone on the telephone,instead of call centres,

 

I am sorry if I appeared to be a 'pain' and the new tree is absolutely marvellous,so it was worth the effort !

 

Assuring you of my continued support

Dear Mike,

Thanks for the e-mail. I note your comments about the packaging and will pass them to our supplier.

I have enveloped up a replacement foot - but it won't go out 'till Monday's post now.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the order!

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for the rapid delivery of my order which arrived today.
I've tested both trees and they both function well.

I've a couple of what I hope are constructive comments:

(a) The manufacturer must have a shortage of cardboard for packaging! Both trees had to have their tops bent to fit in their boxes. Just a couple of inches more cardboard would have allowed them to remain straight.

(b) One 'foot' on the base of the 1.2m tree was broken. Though unsightly, the level of the base is not affected and I could glue the two parts for a slightly better appearance. But if you do happen to have a spare foot (of the Christmas tree kind, of course!) 'about your personage', perhaps you would be kind enough to send me a replacement.

As the packaging is somewhat flimsy cardboard, either padding the base unit and foot of the larger tree or removing the feet before dispatch might prevent others suffering the same fate. No doubt the latter would require more customer instructions though and another plastic bag to contain the feet and screws.

Thank you again for your excellent service.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Sheppy.
