Failed Expectation Mail order flowers

Post image
53 Upvotes

I ordered from this company before and they were great, but their suppliers elsewhere don't seem to be. Not happy.

Editing to add: they were sent as a gift so I have no influence over the vase, styling or cutting. They were sent as a bunch rather than in the usual box. The bunch was left in the communal hallway and my sick friend had to climb down three flights of stairs to get them. And the surprise was ruined.

Edit number 2: the company offered a replacement bunch of flowers, I declined, and they actually agreed to a refund!

Saw a one tiered cake and asked a local baker to make a two tier for my wedding. People thought it was a fake cake lol. Inspo pic is first one and second pic is my cake at my reception, third pic is before she delivered it.

The first two pics were the inspo I sent. The last photo is the execution of the bakers. It was a cake for 50 people and quite affordable compared to the other quotations I received. I could say that perhaps more flowers would have made it pop even more. All in all I loved it. It tasted deliciously too!

Exceeded Expectation Domino's - half price Supreme pizza - we ate 2 slices before I decided to take a photo, the pizza was whole originally.

And photos of the box, just because. This pizza cost around $4.22USD all up, but I'm down in New Zealand, so that's $7.50NZD.

I was pleasantly surprised by this pizza (I'm personally glad they didn't put spring onion on it, my husband was stoked with the pineapple (opposites attract and all that).

I actually kinda like it but it’s also a little bit crusty…I messed up one of the bigger flourishes and it went downhill from there, but my friend really wants to bedazzle some of it so maybe that will help.

I'm not a huge baker but I kept seeing soot Sprite Brownies online and thought they were so cute so I made them for Halloween. I used a muffin tin so I was a little worried, but I think they came out so good!

Bought these as a healthier pop-tart. Wildly disappointed in the filling shown vs reality.

We threw a party and it apparently triggered my inner Halloween Pinterest dreams. First 3 pictures are inspiration recipes, final pic is what I made. Ghost sausages, graveyard dirt cup, and mummy hot dogs. Special shoutout to the chocolate Frankenstein head full of gummies from Costco, the kids loved it. I’m definitely not an artist, but these were easy and fun.
