“Lovely surprise to get flowers from friends but vert dissapointed in the flowers from Marks and Spencers. The stems were so short they looked ridiculous in the vase and not very fresh looking. Personally will always stick with Blooming Wild much better.”

“I had some flowers delivered today for my birthday. Half of the flowers were unfortunately dead, I am not surprised there was no water or moisture pouch on stems and they were crammed in a box. Really disappointed and I’m sure they were not cheap.”

“I received a bouquet of flowers as a Christmas gift from a friend. The box was soaking wet & collapsed. The roses were brown on the edges and the whole arrangement was squashed. I ran after the delivery man who wasn’t interested. I then rang M&S who asked me for the order number. I had explained it was a gift, but they couldn’t or wouldn’t deal with me. I will never order anything from M&S they used to be such a reliable company.”

“My Grandma is sent flowers by her granddaughter every year and this year a bunch from M and S which were awful. The roses were turning brown, large ‘branches’ made the whole bunch entirely unmanageable. Extremely disappointing for her and worse of all she feels she cannot complain directly to M and S because she wouldn’t want her granddaughter to feel bad for the inadequacy of the flowers sent. Shame on you Marks and Spencers! Quality and standard has definitely dropped to entirely unacceptable levels.”

“Rubbish service. Third time now I've ordered flowers from M and S and they haven't arrived having been delivered to the wrong place. This time I was able to get in the car and collect from where they had been left. MandS.. But previously no refunds given. You need to get your delivery system sorted. Sorely disappointed. Very poor customer service. Posted a review on their website to receive an email stating 'Unfortunately, your review didn’t meet all our website guidelines as it shipping or fulfilment focused, so we’re unable to publish it.' Will NEVER use them again!”

“I had a big box of surprise flowers delivered from M&S (from a friend) but when I opened it any element of surprise or excitement quickly evaporated. It was a coire reindeer but the box was just full of peat plant bedding material. No peat was in the saddle area of the reindeer - it was all tipped out completely in the box. The boxes of chocolates were covered in peat, and the cyclamen and ivy were trashed with all the peat in the bottom of the box. The two pieces of air inflated padding were also damaged. One (2 piece) was smashed & the other OK. Clearly the box had gone end over end probably several times. Worse I rang M&S customer care & waited 20 minutes only to be answered by a man who clearly had no customer care gene in his makeup. Oh - we will will send you another - it should be here 'tomorrow' - and I can see the pink fairies flying over the horizon. Still waiting. Never ever buy any flowers from M&S.”

“Even one star is too good. I was sent an enormous box which when I opened it has 5 ?flowers, looked more like large sticks of celery, brown at the edges, had no idea what they were supposed to be. I could go on but doubt no notice will be taken;”

“Sent bouquet to a friend for a Christmas gift. They were absolutely dreadful, half dead and definitely not a bouquet, more a bunch of left overs. Tried to complain online but was told they were very busy. Gave up waiting. I’m not surprised they have a busy complaints line. Very poor service and appalling product. Do not use this service.”

“Had a Christmas bouquet from friends in Australia the flowers were about dead with 2 of the flower heads broken, despite feeding etc the bouquet never lasted. When are Marks and Spencer’s going to respond to these shocking reviews? I did complain was told a replacement would be sent just received once again not as per pictures on their website and half dead. I would not recommend there flower service to anyone.”

“I received some M & S flowers for Christmas ordered by a niece who lives in New Zealand. I can't tell her what I really think of them because it would upset her but I think it was the most disappointing bunch of flowers (referred to by M & S as a bouquet) that I have ever received. There are five stems of rather unimposing flowers - one of them broken - one stem of berries and six stems of very dull greenery. The packaging seemed inadequate. As I am the recipient not the buyer I'm not sure if I'm allowed to complain but I feel that M & S standards must have declined since I last used them myself. I just hate to think of my lovely niece having wasted her money - and I'm sure the flowers weren't cheap.”

“How disappointing. I ordered white and blue flowers for my friend and she got red and yellow ones. And pretty tatty looking ones at that. I guess I could cope with the colour change, given supply issues, but M and S should not be taking orders if all it can supply is tatty flowers. I feel very embarrassed. And I paid 45 quid for them.”

“I'm so upset. I ordered Red Christmas Wonderland flowers for my mother-in-law for Christmas. The photo showed a really pretty bunch with roses and pine cones. What arrived was a couple of carnations in bad condition and some bedraggled foliage. No sign of the Christmas message I had included. I tried a live web chat with Lyle, said I didn't want a refund but more flowers of decent quality sent and after a long wait he said he couldn't help me. Gave me a refund, which I specifically asked him not to do. It's too late for me to reorder before Christmas. I trusted M&S and they have completely let me down. Really, really bad.”

“Just received the ready to arrange flowers as a Christmas gift. What a disappointment, a raggedy bit of brown paper wrapping, even the sellotape was wrinkled up. Just 3 white carnations and the rest bits of nearly dead greenery. Shouldn't think they will last until Christmas day.”

“Very disappointed with the service I received. Made an error on ordering, noticed immediately, it said I could cancel within 30 minutes I just needed to go on my account. Went on my account and the order wasn’t there! So I rang them after 5 minutes of ordering and it took 32 minutes to get through by which time it was too late to cancel! When the flowers did arrive they weren’t that great to be honest and they were delivered to the wrong house and left outside! I will definitely NOT be using them again”

“Red December Flowers Bouquet is, I'm told, absolutely gorgeous. I bought them for my daughter as I won't get to see her before Christmas and she's chuffed to bits”

“I have just received flowers from my niece for Christmas and they are literally half dead. They are nothing like the photo on the website. I really don't want to tell her and upset her but I am so upset myself that she has spent money on something so awful. Some of the stems are broken, petals are falling off and the roses are brown round the edges. These really are the worst flowers I have ever had and don't really deserve the one star.”

“I ordered a bouquet of Christmas flowers Fri 10 Dec for my sister to be delivered on Tuesday 14th on the 4th anniversary of her husband’s death to cheer her up, I have used M&S for flowers endless times before and never had a problem, They did not arrive on the due date(my sister was in all day). Rang to complain they said they would re-send them on Thurs 16th, would also send her prosecco and chocs to apologise and refund my cost, They arrived on the Thursday, the bud roses were wilted and sad looking, not a lot of flowers, too much foliage to bulk them out. Never again Marks and Spencers.”

“Flowers arrived mouldy and broken stems and only pink and white not multicoloured. Rang M&S and said how disappointed I was as they were a gift for my birthday. Next day received a new bouquet which was 100% better”

“Had two flower orders previously - one not delivered and the other in bad condition. The delivery company were cowboys - two orders delivered today and driver never even knocked on either door. Won't be using them for flowers again! They should keep to food and clothing.”
