Well the roses finally arrived today - last day of November. Had they
arrived any later they would have been in breach of contract of their
own terms. However 3 of the 9 roses delivered were either damaged or of
very poor quality. Not good at all. They are going back. Not sure
whether to ask for a part refund and buy the remaining 3 elsewhere, or
have the damaged roses replaced (and no doubt I'll have a long wait
again). I guess my early misgivings of this company turned out to be
well founded and I won't be using them again.

I'm really sorry to hear this, especially as some of us were reassuring
as to their usual standards. They, like anyone who sells anything
online, are at the mercy of couriers/post office though, so damage may
not be their fault. Poor quality is another matter.

Well harking back to my post last November it turns out that a few of the
roses we ordered from J Parkers are the wrong variety now that they are
flowering, let alone the problems we first had with the poor quality.when
they were first despatched.

It seems others have had problems with this company as well so it wasn't
just me being fussy.. I certainly won't be doing any further business with
them.
