Do Amazon do bouquets?
Are they any good?

I received flowers recently from my granddaughter in Ireland and they were fabulous. She simply phoned a local florist here who then delivered to me the most perfect bouquet ever.
I don't know if Amazon have this service. I've always found M&S to be quite good, for flowers or fruit.

I'm another with poor experiences with Bloom & Wild.

Bloom and wild, always happy and they last unlike others.

I've used Bloom & Wild and the recipients always say the flowers are lovely and better in a few days as per their little info leaflet...But this year have received them late and I mean up to 4 days late and they informed me it was Royal Mail not delivering...just this week my lovely D sent flowers on my Mom's BDay Anniversary last Wednesday to cheer me up and flowers only arrived Monday..my Sis 80th Bday flowers also arrived 4 days late and this made her/me very disappointed...

I'm sure many businesses are suffering with the Post strikes. I've been waiting eleven days for my paint sample now, hope it hasn't dried up!

Another vote here for M & S's Alstromeira. I've sent these often & recipients are always delighted with them. I have also used "local" florists (local to the recipients, & willing to deliver) but they can be hard to find, in my experience.
