Comments on: Delivering quality when the lack of it is obvious (Calyx and Corolla sucks) http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/02/15/delivering-quality-when-the-lack-of-it-is-obvious-calyx-and-corolla-sucks/ Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me Thu, 17 May 2012 21:05:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jon Smirl http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/02/15/delivering-quality-when-the-lack-of-it-is-obvious-calyx-and-corolla-sucks/comment-page-1/#comment-77848 Jon Smirl Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:06:13 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/02/14/delivering-quality-when-the-lack-of-it-is-obvious-calyx-and-corolla-sucks/#comment-77848 I had pretty good luck with www.falconfarms.com until this year but it wasn't their fault. Because of the ice storm in Boston Fed missed all of the overnight deliveries and delivered on the 15th. Of course the flowers were beat up from sitting in a freezing FedEx warehouse overnight. Other orders from Falcon Farms have arrived in great shape. I had pretty good luck with http://www.falconfarms.com until this year but it wasn’t their fault.

My wife said the same thing interestingly enough, "next time just call a local florist, that way if there is any problem they can take care of it." Of course, as you point out this does require a level of planning that I have thus far not displayed. LOL.

I've been a loyal customer for years but I've had two bad experiences in a row buying flowers for my (now) wife. She all but said "stop buying from calyx" as we walked to dinner last night while pointing out a few nice neighborhood florists that are going to start getting my business....now i just have to make sure i'm ordering flowers during business hours instead of at 2 in the morning!
