For a year or so I had flowers delivered from London company Freddie's Flowers.
They arrived by courier on the day they are picked and packed in a box about 3.5ft long with padding and a card suggesting how to arrange them.

They lasted about 3-4 weeks as it took 3-4 days for them to start opening.

Cost was £22 incl delivery but a price rise and the fact that I got a bit tired of seeing the same blooms for almost a month, caused me to stop my subscription.
I now buy from a Tesco superstore or M&S.

I've been sending monthly bouquets to my MIL from Freddies Flowers.She aske dme to cancel as after 6 deliveries she thought the quality wasn't as good as it should be.I spoke to a young man on the phone an dhe tells me there have been issues with some suppliers but that its now sorted.I had the latest delivery sent to myself to check.The flowers are beautiful a lovely mix and they have really come into their own now in the second week .I would certainly recommend them

I too had some letterbox flowers sent to me for my birthday last year from Bloom & Wild and they were lovely.

I've had flowers sent to me from Bloom & Wild through the letterbox and they lasted longer than any I've had from Interflora. The buds are well protected in transit and as soon as they're put in water you can tell they're going to open just as they should.

I was very pleased with them and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

I have just sent some to my DD for her birthday. Anyone ever done this? I am hoping that the buds will open and she will be happy with them.
