Absolutely Flowers

For mother’s day this year, I decided to send my mother-​in-​law the traditional gift of flowers.
There aren’t just too many options in Pahrump, NV, so I took a chance on Absolutely Flowers. I suppose you could find a company in Vegas, but delivery would probably cost a fortune. Plus it is pretty warm this time of year…
Mother’s Day was May 10^th this year, but Absolutely Flowers does not deliver on Sunday. Even less desirable was the fact that my mama-​in-​law would be leaving that Monday out-​of-​town, so I requested a delivery date of Friday, May 8^th so she could enjoy them the entire weekend.
When I didn’t hear anything late into the afternoon from my husband’s mom which is quite atypical, I began to worry. I called AF at around 4:40 PST, but reached sort of the «corporate call center» or whatever. I was skeptical, but they passed my message on to the Pahrump store that a delivery to her address had yet to be made. The AF local number started with an automated message system, but finally I reached a human. It was rather time-​consuming to talk to this woman quite frankly because she wanted basically all the info I had given to order the flowers in the first place and I had to repeat and/​or spell almost. Every. Single. Thing. For. Her!
Two hours later (at 6:41 p.m.), my mama-​in-​law texts me a picture of the fresh-​looking bouquet and says she loves them… this was soon after the delivery had been made.
The ordering process was very easy. A lady named Leona (sp?) took my order, but didn’t specify when the delivery might be made. I guess I should have asked. I told her I wanted mostly pink and purple flowers with a maximum of $ 50 for the order. With delivery, it came out to $ 69.40.
I live in Greater L.A. so I most likely would order with this company again as needed.
