Moffatts Flower Company: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Tess is the absolute best! I have always loved the bouquets that Moffat deliver and the most recent one was spectacular! I wanted to send flowers but due to being in Vietnam I couldn’t use the on line link, an email to Tess and she had the whole thing sorted with a Saturday delivery! So accomodating and a high end product as well, I highly recommend Moffats for all your floral needs.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful flowers. Love my bouquets . Definitely get more. Still beautiful after a week
Fantastic experience: Ordered the tulip bouquet for Mothers Days. They arrived in very vibrant colours and well packaged. We were absolutely thrilled with the order and will be a forever repeat customer.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Maree, the sales manager, since starting my small business in Queenstown about two months ago. She is incredibly responsive and always so kind and patient, even when I make changes to my orders. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Wendy on a few occasions, and she has been equally wonderful to work with. I’ve absolutely loved my experience with Moffatts so far :)- Liz from The Flower Bar Co.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly team with a wide variety of bouquets and flowers to match every occasion
Fantastic experience: Great place to get flowers, shirts and small trees. Great opening hours, friendly, helpful staff with lots of knowledge
Fantastic experience: Thank you for the lovely bouquet delivered to our friend in Wellington this morning. She absolutely loves the bright cheerful colours, texture and enjoying it!
Positive experience: bit of confusion over the lillies. I love the smell of lillies but sometimes they had fragrance and sometimes they didnt. I reached out and got fast reply. Seems i may have been buying the wrong ones but there was nothing on them to say what ones had a fragrance and they were all buds so i couldnt tell. I was quite dissappointed that i spent that much ...i never buy flowers, and i treated myself to several bunches of these, so i suggested if something could be written on them as to what lillies they were and whether or not they have a fragrance so people dont waste their money, thank you
Fantastic experience: Amazing service
Fantastic experience: The team are always so helpful when it comes to the perfect arrangements for our bookings. Thank you for the latest bouquet, my client loved it. Natasha - Romantic Gestures NZ
Fantastic experience: Tessa, the florist shop manager at Moffatts and her team made the most beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets for my daughter in law and son’s recent wedding. She was so helpful and responsive to Amy’s ideas and really made it happen, particularly since they lived in Auckland and had to communicate via phone and email. The outcome was beyond what we could have hoped for.
Fantastic experience: Moffats absolutely e x c e e d e d my expectations! i’ve known of them as a wholesaler for a while now however changed my mind completely when i purchased a houseplant for myself! impeccable shipping (a cardboard box, clean classy aesthetic, the plant securely placed/anchored yet pleasing and see through on the top) since it was for myself when i emailed for the tracking number they responded straight away! 10/10 customer service too. NOW for the my plant.. foliage/appearance quality 10/10, root condition… healthy, not rotted or rank 10/10, price for what i brought it for and shipping - content and satisfied as a customer.. im excited to purchase more in the future :) (photos attached of plant upon arrival and then last two photos being current (est. 2months since purchase) - stable and increasing variegation on. an existing leaf, meaning for me yay good genetics.. and we are already onto side slits on the newest leaf! overall - id recommend moffats and purchase again! thank you guys
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bouquets, wonderful people and outstanding service! And all when ordered from Australia for our Christchurch family. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful service, wonderful people and beautiful bouque.
Fantastic experience: I have used Moffatt’s Flower Company twice this year to send flowers internationally to my family in Christchurch. The customer service is exceptional and the flowers are fresh, beautiful and long lasting. The flowers I had sent this week needed to have a special message and a verse written in the card. The lovely lady I spoke with at Moffatt’s was so patient and was kind enough to add a little bit of artwork at my request. My family was so touched to receive this beautiful arrangement and lovely card. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I received the most delightful, cheerful, gorgeous bouquet yesterday for my birthday from this flower shop. It’s one of the most cheerful bouquets I ever had. I really, really, love it.
We are so glad that you loved the flowers and thank you for taking the time to write a review, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Sent a plant to friends and when they sent a photo of what they had received, it was far better than I could have hoped for. The plant was a great size and was covered in flowers. Just lovely
Thank you so much - happy to hear they were happy with the plant
Fantastic experience: First time using Moffats website to buy flowers from a distance. It was fantastic to see that the flowers were at least as good, if not better than the photo on the website and were amazingly good value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again with every confidence they’ll be as good in the future as they were this time around. Thanks Team Moffats!
Fantastic experience: I could not have been happier with the service at Moffatts. I had supplied the wrong delivery address, and the team went out of their way to assist with getting the courier to re-direct the order. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. I ordered peonies for my sister's birthday, and she was so delighted to receive them. The quality of the bouquet and colours was amazing. I highly recommend Moffatts and will use them again.

Fantastic experience: We have been using Moffats as a company to send our flowers for many years and have always had amazing feedback on how lovely they are. Would highly recommend them as our favourite florist. Jade Software Corporation Ltd.

Fantastic experience: Received the most beautiful two tone dahlia from our family for our 47th wedding anniversary,even with air conditioning it is still looking stunning after five days. Love Moffatts Flowers.
Thank you for the 5 star review - really appreciated and happy you enjoyed the flowers!
Fantastic experience: Really professional and great service. Highly reccommend! My family and i live in Australia and returned to Christchurch, New Zealand to bury / rest our Mother with out late Father. we were reccommended this service through a friend who had her wedding flowers made here. Although we were last minute the staff were approachable and helpful considering the timeframe we had. Absolutely stunning floral arrangements and listened to what we wanted for our Mothers funeral service, she loved the colours lilac and white :) Thank you for your service!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service. Highly recommended
Negative experience: Oh dear. The older lady at the counter with the Where Is Wally glasses was obviously having a really bad day :( I was waiting to be served and listened to her belittling a customer that had asked if there were anymore of *something* out there back as they had sold out in the shop.. the poor customer just stood there with her mouth open. My turn was next. I also had the audacity to ask a question, oh boy.. bad mistake. I was told to go try mitre 10, then I was dismissed. I wish I flipped her the bird on the way out. Oh well, hindsight and all that.. I’m not going out of my way to go back again.
Negative experience: The worst customer service I've ever experienced, staff are considered to be rude obnoxious. I have been purchasing flowers from here for the last 5 years. I know the owner operator very well to Halswell New world which I will also be advising the whole of management there of my recent experience with this company.. of my recent experience I arrived in store I asked if can do me a special boutique with my desired colors her response was will do it when I'm ready! I left the store and purchased else where ! All the very best moffats, neglect customer service can damage the current and future clients. I say, stay away they don't want your customer service they will want your pocket!
Positive experience: 不错,植物很有活力,看起来后面会以繁育蝴蝶兰为主
Negative experience: The staff at this store checkout is rude and kind of racially discriminatory. Not only did I feel this way, but every one of my non-white friends who has visited has had the same experience. The attitude during checkout was cold, condescending, and outright disrespectful. This was a terrible experience, and I will never go back. I strongly advise others to think twice before supporting a business that treats customers this way.
I am very sorry to hear about your experience, we take concerns about customer service very seriously.
At Moffatt's, we pride ourselves on maintaining an inclusive and welcoming environment and with staff from over 15 different countries, we are committed to inclusivity and not tolerating discrimination in any form.
After receiving this review, we immediately spoke with all our shop staff to ensure that our commitment to respect and kindness is upheld at every interaction. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we would love the opportunity to apologise further and better understand what happened so we can continue improving. You can contact me [email protected], as we are committed to ensuring every customer feels respected and valued when visiting our store.
Fantastic experience: Ordered a gift for my colleagues' birthday this morning and arrived this afternoon. She was absolutely delighted and the gift looked gorgeous and was delivered with care. Thanks team A++
Fantastic experience: I put in an order at 9am for same day delivery and the flowers arrived 1.5hr later. Amazing service & efficiency.

Fantastic experience: Simply beautiful bouquets and posies that we ordered for last weekends memorial service. Helpful staff and wonderful service. Couldn't have been happier. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: A great place for many assorted flowers plus other gift ideas.
Fantastic experience: Ordered internationally for a friend looking after her mum who is very unwell. Realised I forgot to include some important information which could impact delivery - contacted the shop and Tess was very responsive, the flowers arrived safely and were beautiful. Thanks guys!
Thank you for the 5 star review, we appreciate you taking the time to review us.
Positive experience: Great selection of pot plants at reasonable prices.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful flowers and very friendly helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: I ordered the large tulips for my mother's graduation. The bouquet was beyond beautiful and made her (and our) day very special. So thankyou.
Fantastic experience: Super good service quick and easy. Ordered from overseas and great delivery service. Beautiful flowers too
Positive experience: I have just received a large, stunning bouquet of Lilies for my 50th anniversary. While beautiful, this was also very heavy & in order to find a vase, the only safe place for it was on an armchair. Unfortunately, the bottom of the flowers was encased in tissue paper cellophane & considerable water. .which then poured all over my chair, floor and over me. I called to recommend the presenting large, heavy flowers in this way should be changed, but felt as though I was being treated as if that was my fault. Not a nice feeling.
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with the sympathy flowers I sent my friend. I ordered them late evening and they were delivered the next morning. I also viewed them the next day and were very happy with the volume of flowers and the choice of flowers included.
Fantastic experience: My partner surprised me with a bouquet a month ago and guess what most of the flowers are still very alive on my kitchen bench. Love the quality of their flowers.
Fantastic experience: I live in Sydney and ordered online a bouquet of Orchids for my friend's Sister's funeral in Christchurch. They were delivered today and the family thought they were absolutely beautiful and will take them to the service on Tuesday. Thank you for the incredible arrangement Tess and for all your help. I will recommend you to all my friends and family in Christchurch.
Fantastic experience: I just ordered two incredible plants from Moffats. they were delivered and packaged beautifully I am seriously impressed. thank you for such a great service
Fantastic experience: Really great price on roses and was delivered nice and early on Valentine's Day
Negative experience: Management are just plain rude and unprofessional. I wouldn't deal with this company again
Fantastic experience: This is the 2nd time l have used your firm and l will certainly use you again. Both times the flowers have been absolutely beautiful and very well received. Thankyou so much.
Fantastic experience: Since discovering Moffatts flowers in 2021, i've placed 7 online orders for gifts. The ordering process is very straight-forward, every bunch of flowers has been received with much happiness and the receivers all comment that the flower quality is excellent/flowers last a long time. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your lovely words and we are very happy to hear that our flowers make someone's day!
Fantastic experience: I went in to purchase a Christmas gift for my niece and I had no idea what I was doing.. but this lovely young lady Lucy helped me chose the perfect present and my niece LOVES it!! Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming and helpful! Will definitely be recommending to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place everything so fresh and in amazing condition. The new indoor plant area is fantastic with a huge selection. The staff are so friendly and helpful Highly recommend a visit
Fantastic experience: Haven't been there for 12 months. Great place to buy flowers
Fantastic experience: Really nice place, good prices and ideas. Beautiful orchids
Fantastic experience: Ordered a dozen red roses for our wedding anniversary and the customer service was wonderful...thanks so much
Thank you for the nice feedback and glad you enjoyed the experience!
Fantastic experience: Used Moffatts yesterday for a local delivery. Whilst I did it anonymously, the friend sussed out it was me and shared a pic today. Never quite sure when you order online. Happy to say the friend was absolutely wrapped and the flowers were stunning and smell gorgeous so too with the candle. Thanks so much Moffatts for awesome service and quality
Thank you so much for your kind review. The florists work so hard to ensure all our online/ shop orders are stunning!
Negative experience: Came to see what they had to offer adjacent to what's in stock at Bunnings/M10/the warehouse and of course oderings. A poor selection of well cared for plants and very meh service was what I found. The prices are above all aforementioned retailers as well. The only plant I was interested in had no price and the dismissive salesperson was too busy flirting with a loud dude with a credit card for me to get a price check.
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to be given flowers from Moffatts in Christchurch and I am very pleased to say I received a lovely size bunch of beautiful flowers in a variety of colours. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Ordered online from overseas. A gorgeous potted plant was delivered to a friend’s work place without delay. Great service!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous and prompt service, catering to my various (and sometimes unusual) requests! Thanks so much
Negative experience: possibly the worst customer service. have had to email multiple times, message on Facebook & call to see the status of delivery when most other flower companies send photos and notify when the order is out for dispatch. I placed my order last month & their lack of communication has kinda tampered with the celebrations of the day. disappointed
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the bunch of tulips and card I ordered for my mother for her birthday. Mum was super stoked too... thankyou Moffatts :)
Fantastic experience: My go-to for flowers. Beautiful flowers, prompt delivery, carefully arranged and packaged and such good value!
Fantastic experience: Great team. Good neighbor. One more star for Louis.
Fantastic experience: Was super pleased with the flowers from Moffatts. It can be tricky living overseas and ordering from a local company. I hoped that the flowers were going to be true to their website and they were perfect! In fact, they were identical. I can happily report that they are still going strong over a week later. i can highly recommend and will definitely order from again.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for delivering a lovely bright and happy bunch of flowers to my Mum for her 95th - on time and as advertised.
Negative experience: terrible staff in the office. especially Maori woman, terrible terrible terrible, so so so so so rude. never want to go there again
Fantastic experience: Was given beautiful bouquet of flowers 10 days ago and they are still looking amazing. Many thanks Rosie Diamond Harbour
Fantastic experience: Ordered a $45 mini pink/purple orchid (which is really hard to find, most are bigger) with a $15 delivery. The price is reasonable compared to many online that charge around $80+. Delivery is super fast. Within a day. However, they got the day wrong! After an email, they responded promptly and offered to deliver roses as apologies! Mistakes happen, but how they dealt with it makes them a good business which I definitely will go back to. The orchid looks sexy! Way better than it looks than the photos!
Fantastic experience: The freshest and most beautiful smelling roses, super happy.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful flowers!!!! Awesome price and excellent friendly service. Thanks again. You guys NEVER disappoint.
Fantastic experience: Your flowers are beautiful, especially the orange Rose's, my favourite.
Positive experience: Beautiful flowers and Justine was very friendly and helpful Good prices, definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Got given a lovely bunch of flowers and they were beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Great arrangements
Fantastic experience: Great value fresh flowers. The florists are always happy to make up something if there isn't anything on the floor you want.
Negative experience: Dead flowers~~ sad....
Fantastic experience: Buy flower direct off the growers at a great price
