Very happy with the product and the service, thanks 😊
Thank you so much for holding back the delivery due to it clashing with the funeral of my dear mother in law, it was truly appreciated. My wife was also taken aback by your thoughtfulness by including a lovely bouquet of dried flowers and card with kind words. The flowers will always remind us of Elaine and sit pride of place on the sideboard in our dining room. You are truthfully some of the very best people we have dealt with, online and on the phone.
Amazing, personalised customer service! Always very friendly, approachable and dedicated. Thank you!
