What u ordered will not be what ur recipient will receive

I felt I had been CHEATED! Let me rant it in my blog. The below was supposed to be what I ordered from one of the florists in Kuala Lumpur and was to be sent to Michelle in Penang. Looks so presentable and nice, doesn't it?

Note: Picture as shown : Option 2. Contents as shown: Red Roses, Yellow Daisies, Assorted Fillers, Brands Essence of Chicken, Milo, Quaker Oats, Glucosa, Ribena.

And what they sent was THIS:

Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!

Anyone fell off the chair?

As what Michelle mentioned, the flowers and gifts were not very presentable. (She was being courteous). I would have said, NOT AT ALL PRESENTABLE! Goodness, the price tags were still intact! It was completely different from the florist's illustrated picture. I requested Michelle to send me the pic. When I received it, I really had my jaws opened wide staring at it, I 'plopped' onto my chair! WHAT THE ****! I just couldn't believe what I saw!
a
The gifts were so 'CHEAP KAI' (cheapskate) – 2 packets of ribena (I'm sure Tim and Emily were very delighted to have them), 1 small packet of milo (for just a cup?) and the packet of, don't know what brand, glucose and I don't know whether there were any brands essence of chicken or not.
a
Okay, okay, I opted for Option 1 which is RM50 cheaper (the illustrated hamper was Option 2). It was not dat I minded what I had paid for but at least they could have packed 1 small bottle (if not big) of ribena, a small tin of milo and quaker oats, a tin of glucolin and 1 box (6 bottles) of essence of chicken instead of the 'cheapos'. And ... and ... and the flowers, at least, they could have arranged something better than dat (I bet my flower arrangement is better). Another thing, the card – should have at least used a proper one.
a
Actually I sent a message thru email to the florist and even sent her the pic which Michelle sent. The florist called me and told me she nearly fainted when she saw the pic. I didn't really 'blow' (else she would be hearing my very foul 'nice' language), I kept my cool (but not without bombarding first) and listened to what she had to explain. She told me she didn't expect her counterpart in Penang would send dat unpresentable flower basket with gifts and I presume she meant to say dat it was completely her counterpart's fault. She went on to explain dat they couldn't send the fresh flowers from K.L. for fear dat the fresh flowers will wither (maybe she thought I was a first-timer in sending flowers and gifts ordered from the net *duh*). She did keep apologising. I asked her what she was going to do. I didn't need her apologies then. I wanted her to apologise to Michelle instead. She promised me she would call her counterpart in Penang and would send an apology (she didn't tell me what they would send) to Michelle. Okay, I accepted dat.
a
Two days later, Michelle told me she received the flowers – 3 roses. Goodness, 3 miserable stalks of roses! And no message with regard to the apology? *duh, duh duh*
a
After what Michelle told me about the florist shop belonging to her admin.'s manager’s (Senior Manager’s position) wife, I dropped my intention to pursue the matter further. What I can say is THIS FLORIST IN PENANG, OBVIOUSLY, IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL!
aa
Before this, I had no problems making orders from well-known florists. The incident really taught me a lesson – NEVER, NEVER ORDER SOMETHING FROM THE INTERNET WHICH U ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH or DO NOT KNOW THE PERSON.
a
I would really like to thank Michelle for letting me know, else I would still be blur-blur thinking I had sent something worthy and nice to her.

Note: Any Florists/Gifts/Hampers (or whatever) shop owners reading this, PLEASE let us (who order), at least, feel dat we have spent our money worthily as we put our trust in u.
