Terrible experience with Guernsey…

Terrible experience with Guernsey Flowers. I ordered flowers to Jersey for a special occasion for my Son and Daughter in law, but they arrived late, in poor condition, wilted and died after 3 days. Their website is totally misleading. The flowers come from the West Midlands, not from the Channel Islands. 24 hour delivery is impossible due to this.
Poor communication from Customer Services. I have delayed writing a poor review in the hope of receiving a full refund, but sadly, I am still waiting.
Unless they revamp their delivery and customer support, I would strongly advise against using this company.

Hi Angela,

Thank you so much for your feedback. We genuinely appreciate it, even when it's less than glowing!

We understand that you weren't happy with the resolution here but unfortunately some orders will arrive a little late when using Royal Mail Standard delivery. It is clearly stated on our site that standard delivery is not a guaranteed service. Even though 94% of all orders will still arrive on the date selected (including to the Channel Islands), a non-guaranteed service like this means that a small percentage of orders may be a little late.

Even though we totally understand your frustration, we would have to disagree that 24 hour delivery is impossible to the Channel Islands as we deliver there successfully every day - but it doesn't change the fact that standard delivery is a non-guaranteed service and orders can be a day early or late.

The flowers you ordered arrived the day after you selected, which we understand must be extremely disappointing - especially when ordered for such a special occasion. From the photos you shared, the flowers appeared to be a little worse for wear, and certainly not as healthy as we would expect, so you were 100% right to send us photos and let us know you weren't happy.

Because the flowers were not in perfect condition, we immediately offered you a replacement bouquet, or a credit note for the full amount. However, we do not offer refunds for orders that are a day late when standard delivery was selected since we make it so clear at checkout that this is not a guaranteed service and a small percentage of orders may arrive a little late.

We are so sorry you had a negative experience, and our offer still stands to send out a full replacement for this order or offer you a credit note for the full amount.

Excellent service

The ordering procedure is easy. Everything is clear on the website. I have purchased flowers from Guernsey flowers many times and will definitely be purchasing again as the quality of the flowers is always brilliant.

It is possible to send beautiful flowers by post with Guernsey Flowers.

I wanted to send my friend a particular type of flower and had concerns about florists changing them out for other flowers and couldn't imagine sending flowers by post after previously receiving some as a gift. Then I searched for "White Alstroemeria Flowers" and found Guernsey flowers. The reviews filled me with confidence and I could tell I would be able to order exactly what I wanted. I ordered 25 stems and they arrived in bud but kept moist and well packaged for my friend to put in the vase I also purchased. I explained to my friend in the message that they were beautiful once opened and would last at least two weeks if she trimmed the stems before adding to the vase and again a week later. They were to remind her all the good memories of her and her mums great bond, their strength and beauty just like the flowers. She was thrilled with them and sent me a photo once they had opened and I was right they lasted a long time looking just as good as had promised. I will buy flowers from Guernsey Flowers again, maybe even for myself.

Beautiful fragrant flowers.

Lovely service online.
Beautiful long stemed friesas that arrived in good condition and lasted well with a lovely fragrance.
I have used this company several times and have never been disappointed with the flowers.
I usually send them to my mum for her birthday and Christmas.

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Excuses excuses. An unprofessional approach. Late delivery; wrong flowers; staff contradicting each other. Will not use again sadly as I like to support small family businesses.

Stay away from this company at all costs

Disappointed Two Years in a Row

My wedding anniversary is in June, and in 2024 I ordered white peonies from this company. Unfortunately, I was contacted by email the day before the scheduled delivery, informing me they couldn’t fulfill the order. This left me scrambling at the last minute to find replacement flowers for my wife. White peonies are hard to source since they bloom only around June, so it was a particularly stressful situation. The company refunded me, but didn’t offer any alternatives at the time.

As a business owner myself, I understand that things occasionally go wrong, so I decided to give them another chance this year. I placed the same order (white peonies) well in advance—about two weeks early—and even explained what happened the previous year. They assured me they would monitor stock regularly and guaranteed that the order would be fulfilled this time.

Despite this, they attempted to charge me an extra £6 for morning delivery—something I feel should have been waived given the previous mishap. Still, I went ahead. And yet again, the day before the scheduled delivery, I received another email saying they couldn’t deliver due to the heat. No phone call, just an email—which I easily could have missed had I been in meetings all day, leaving me without enough time to arrange a backup.

This time they did offer a substitute: a different color of peonies with a couple of extra stems. Frankly, it felt like a token gesture rather than a real attempt to make things right. I ended up requesting—and receiving—another refund.

It's frustrating to try and be understanding, only to be let down repeatedly. When I later checked their reviews, I wasn’t surprised to see that a quarter of them are one-star ratings. Based on my experience, I have to say: avoid this company. Reliability and customer care seem to be in short supply here.

Hi Duncan,

We appreciate the time it took to write your review and that it is clearly incredibly disappointing to be let down at the last minute. I know that I would find that frustrating too, especially for such an important occasion!

Sadly, Peonies can succumb to the hot weather and, as you know, last week was especially hot. This meant that some of the orders we expected to deliver had to be canceled or altered as, in these conditions, the peonies would have been far too open and not have lasted long. This will have been an experience florists all over the country will have had.

As you noted, we contacted you in advance and offered you a replacement in a different colour - to which you asked for a 30% refund, an upgraded delivery, and a larger version of the bouquet. We informed you that we could offer a larger bouquet, the upgraded delivery and even some chocolates or fudge as an apology, but could not, in addition, offer the 30% refund - which we stand by.

At this point you asked for a refund, which we provided immediately.

We are genuinely sorry that you did not receive the flowers you hoped for, for such an important occasion - we'll review our storage to see if there was anything we could have done differently, though as I said, it is a difficult reality for florists that a heatwave can impact how long certain flowers - especially peonies - will last.

Once again, we appreciate the review, and are deeply sorry we were unable to provide the white peonies for your anniversary!

All the very best,
The Guernsey Flowers Team

Flowers Missed a 90th Birthday – Very Disappointed

I ordered flowers nine days in advance for my aunt’s 90th birthday, selecting a Friday delivery to make sure they’d arrive in time for the Saturday celebration. Unfortunately, they didn’t turn up until the following Monday - far too late to be of any use.

When I challenged why they were dispatched so late (after 5pm on the Thursday before the intended delivery day Friday), despite ordering so far in advance, I was told it was to ensure the flowers were as fresh as possible. That’s all very well, but I imagine most customers - myself included - would much rather the flowers arrived a day early and slightly less fresh, rather than too late to be used at all, especially for such a special occasion.

What’s more frustrating is that the company knows Royal Mail doesn’t guarantee next-day delivery, and yet still chooses to send them out last-minute. In my case, the flowers then sat in Royal Mail’s depot for three days. Not exactly "fresh".

I asked for a refund given the flowers were completely missed for the event, but Guernsey Flowers refused and offered only a credit note. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I’ve told them they really need to be clearer on their website that selecting a specific delivery date does not guarantee the flowers will arrive on that day unless you specifically choose DPD.

Just be very careful when selecting your delivery date - it might not mean what you think it does.

Hi Johnny, and thank you for leaving such a thoughtful review. We really do appreciate the feedback, regardless if it is glowing or not!

As we discussed over email, we were so, so sorry that the flower delivery was late and missed such an important occasion.

We think that our delivery options are very clearly marked at checkout, but we will definitely have another look to see if we can make them any clearer.

As it stands, we have multiple options, which includes the option you selected: Royal Mail standard delivery, which delivers on time around 94% of occasions, but is not a guaranteed service and can be late by a day or two, or up to 3 days in very rare circumstances.

And for occasions when flowers absolutely must be on time, we also have guaranteed services through DPD. Because these services are guaranteed, we would refund immediately if there were any issue at all.

When a standard order delivers late, however, we can only issue refunds if it is delivered outside of Royal Mail's standard delivery policy. As your order was later than your selected date, but delivered within RM's delivery policy for non-guaranteed, standard delivery orders, we could not issue a refund.

Despite this, we still offered a credit note for the full amount at our loss.

We totally understand your point about the flowers leaving the depot at 5pm, it does seem counter intuitive, but this is actually very normal. Royal Mail collect at this time and deliver 94% of those orders the very next day, even with standard delivery. It may appear late, but this is exactly right for almost every single order to ensure freshness - if we delivered the day before, 94% of our deliveries would have arrived too early for many customers.

To your point, we do know that Royal Mail do not guarantee next-day for standard delivery orders. That is why we offer a guaranteed service through DPD which I understand you missed at checkout.

We are genuinely sorry your delivery did not arrive on the day you selected - this really is quite rare - and we hope you use the credit note we sent you to order some more flowers on another occasion. Drop us a note when you do, and we'll ensure we take extra care with your order.

Disappointing

I ordered 18 long stem red roses for our daughter’s 18th birthday. They arrived on time and were beautiful. Unfortunately even though they were kept away from direct sunlight and heat, trimmed and refreshed daily they only lasted 4 days. Very disappointing as they were not cheap.

Hi Keith,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.

We’re really sorry to hear that whilst the roses were beautiful on arrival, they didn’t last as long as expected. While 5–7 days is typical for roses - and sometimes up to 10 days with careful care - hot weather can occasionally shorten their vase life, especially with more delicate varieties like red roses.

That said, 4 days does sound a little shorter than we'd hope for. We always want your flowers to arrive in beautiful condition and last well, so please do email us at help@guernseyflowersbypost.co.uk. We’d love to send a replacement so your daughter can enjoy a fuller experience with them.

Sending her all the best for her 18th,
The Guernsey Flowers Team

Took more than the day stated to arrive…

Took more than the day stated to arrive in Cornwall, but my sister loved the flowers.
Just checking are they UK or other location's flowers which are sent from Guernsey, or are they actually grown in Guernsey and sent from Guernsey?
Thanks, Sally.

Excellent service

I had to change the delivery address and it was dealt with immediately. Then they contacted me to make sure I intended not to send a message. I was really touched by that. So much that happens online feels so impersonal but Guernsey Flower folk take care.

So disappointed!

So disappointed. I ordered 60 long stem freesias for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. They had NO scent at all, They easily fitted into one vase for display but didn’t have the wow factor we expected and only lasted 5 days. I’ve requested they remove me from my mailing list and I’ll be sourcing my freesias elsewhere from now on…
