Negative experience: Flowers nice BUT Delivery crap . Delivery meant to be same day before 12 pm try like three hours late at 3:07pm . No text message to say delivery would be late. Wasn’t until after flowers arrived at 3:45 that I got an email saying delivery was on its way which was weird . The Surprised was ruined as I had to message my friend To ask if she got my surprise present as I hadn’t heard anything from her and she said no . Would not order from pepes again .

Hi Sheron,
Thank you for your feedback — I’m really glad to hear you loved the flowers, but I’m genuinely sorry the delivery timing caused disappointment, especially when it was meant to be a surprise.
I’ve looked into your order and can see it was placed at 10:13am, which is past our AM delivery cutoff. By that time, our morning run had already been completed and our van was committed to a wedding setup, so the order was scheduled for our afternoon deliveries. This is something we do outline in our FAQ on our website, but I completely understand how important timing is for moments like this.
We’re always more than happy for customers to reach out after placing an order — we can often quickly confirm whether there’s still a chance to fit it into the morning run if that timing is essential.
I’ve also checked with our driver, who recorded delivery at 3:22pm, with a note that your friend “loved her flowers” — which I hope brought a little bit of joy, even if it wasn’t at the exact time you had hoped.
That said, I completely understand how important timing is for a surprise like this, and I’m sorry we didn’t meet that expectation. I’ve gone ahead and refunded your delivery fee as a gesture of goodwill.
We’re also taking on your feedback around delivery notifications, as this is something we’re actively working to improve.
Thank you again for your feedback — it truly helps us do better.
cheers
Anita

Hi there, thank you for your feedback — I’m really sorry to hear you felt disappointed.
As a small business, our pricing reflects not only the flowers themselves, but the rising costs of sourcing quality seasonal blooms, careful design, packaging, and delivery — all of which go into creating each arrangement with care. We focus on overall composition, movement and feel, rather than just stem count alone.
That said, we never want anyone to feel let down by their experience with us. I’d really love to look into this further for you — could you please share your order number or the delivery date so we can locate your order?
We’re always here to help and would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to make this right

Positive experience: BEWARE?..The flowers my mother received were only half as nice as on the website. And certainly not worth $340.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your feedback — I’m really sorry to hear this and that your mother’s flowers didn’t meet expectations. That’s certainly not the experience we want anyone to have.
Could you please email us at pepesgarden@icloud.com with a few photos of the bouquet along with the delivery date it was received? This will help us look into things properly and make it right for you.
We truly care about the quality of our flowers and would love the opportunity to resolve this for you.
Warmly,
Anita
