              Ok, so I'm a little ticked off at the moment. Tried to get an arrangement delivered the Sunday before Valentines day. I didn't call them until after hours Saturday so went online and was able to make the order and pay for it. Their system allowed me to set up a delivery for that Sunday and pay for it however they were not open on Sunday and the delivery was not made. Ok, so I can understand the mix up on that, maybe. So I expect the deliver to be make on Monday, Valentines day. Nope. So I call them late, about a quarter to 5, which is when they close according to google, although here is says 5:30. I was put on hold by the woman who answered the phone and stayed on hold until 5, at which time I was switched to a voicemail. I called back and was sent back to voicemail. So the woman put me on hold until they were closed and she didn't have to talk to me. Unacceptable service on every front. Can't wait to see how much trouble it is to get my refund.
