Raised eyebrows at gushing customer reviews

Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V

Regarding the "several reviews which contain poor spelling and grammar", we countered in a further email that some of these were posted by reviewers claiming to be from the UK, such as "Mohammed Samys", who interestingly left three 5* reviews on the same day...

... as did "parags", another linguistically-challenged UK citizen:

Prior to publication, we received a further email from an iFlorist customer support operative, which did not offer any further clarification and concluded: "I've explained to the best of my knowledge the situation." ®

greatest website in the universe ever

This is report is all lies. I can't believe that people would be so cynical to believe that companies would attempt to manipulate dumb review forums.

iFlorist saved my life. Reading this website gave new meaning and purpose to existence. It treasures your every mouse click, cradling it to its breast as if it were a new born baby. You feel bathed in an eternal love with every page refresh. iFlorist will free you of all life's burdens. Be reborn to a new and better life where your heart's desires are truly fulfilled for the first time.

You will never,ever wish to use any other place on the internet ever again. I'm going there right now.

It cures cancer too.

this is not on-topic

but it is helpful. OH is in the floristry biz. If you want to deliver flowers to someone, don't go through Interflora or any of the big websites and order a Red Rose Arrangement #45. The website's commission will suck up money that could be spent on flowers, and then ordering off the fixed menu (which has no relationship to the flowers that are in season, in stock and look good) won't guarantee you decent results.

Better approach: find a florist in the town you want to deliver to, check a couple of reviews and then call them up and say "I've got X quid to spend, what fresh and good-looking stock do you have in that you can deliver?". A decent florist will advise you on what's looking good and will have the best impact, and it'll be cheaper bc you're cutting out the middleman.

The best ever internet florist...

I'm sorry....I couldn't resist the temptation to post a review on Trustpilot after reading about iFlorist on El Reg......

The best ever internet florist...

My wife recently found out that I've been having sex with her older sister for the past 6 years. She was understandably very upset with me. She was threatening to divorce me. No problem, though, because I knew about iFlorist. A few minutes online is all the effort it took, and my wife was soon back in love with me after receiving a dozen red roses. Thank you Iflorist, YOU ROCK!!

Very good Register

Im very happy, only good register writes such good article. I hope for very long time register does many business and continue to be strong company. iFlorist.co.uk is clearly a very upstanding and legitimate company, I buy all my things from them now.
