THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EXPERIENCED! Even a 1 star review is a lot for this place, I actually cant believe how terrible the service was. My husband had sent me flowers to work for our anniversary, but unfortunately the flowers didnt make it home as the bag that the flowers and vase was in mustve been damaged, so the bag ripped on the bottom and smashed the vase into pieces. I called the store and I explained what had happened and the staff member on the phone said to come in the next day when the manager is In, so the very next morning my husband took in the flowers and explained

Delighted with the gift I ordered for my wife's birthday which arrived in perfect time on the day, in the morning. The short-cut flowers in a jar have a very catchy name "Spring Jar of Hope" which is the perfect sentiment for this time of year (in the depths of January) and of course hope for a way out of the terrible year we've all had. The flowers have come to life since delivery two days ago and are looking very splendid and happy! I would thoroughly recommend Kendalls and I'm very pleased I made the decision to shop local. Well done!
