“The ‘large’ bouquet I ordered and paid extra for (bouquet was meant to be worth £80+) was NOT LARGE and a complete waste of money. This was roughly the size of a £10 bouquet from Tesco so I urge you to save your money. The lily’s were also rotting on the stem (all of them) so they needed removing immediately. I tried to contact customer service but no response. Won’t be wasting my money again!”

“When you buy flowers as a gift, what matters most to you? For me, it's the person recieving them when I expect them to arrive and in beautiful condition. My experience with Haute Florist is that they promise the world, eagerly take your money, and then respond with vaguely worded responses and zero attempt to help if there's a problem. I am writing to formally complain about my recent experience with your service. I placed an order for flowers to be delivered on a specific date, our anniversary. I paid a premium for this special occasion delivery, but the flowers have yet to arrive, now three days late. The delivery delay has completely undermined the purpose of the order, and your customer service team has been unhelpful in resolving the issue. While you’ve offered to refund the courier fee (which you'll claim back from the courier anyway), this does not address the core problem: the flowers have not been delivered as promised. Furthermore, your representatives have vaguely stated that they will “investigate quality issues” once the flowers arrive, but this does not provide reassurance. Your website markets next-day delivery as a key feature, yet the terms suggest customers must wait three days before an investigation even begins, shifting the responsibility to the courier without providing real solutions. I paid £80 for fresh, high-quality flowers. At this point, I have no confidence they will arrive in the condition I expect. The delay has not only spoiled the occasion but also compromised the value of the service I paid for. When I requested a refund, I was fobbed off with vague responses of “We'll investigate”. You don't need to investigate. You can see from the tracking it's late. You can see from the message on the card it's for an anniversary gift that, now it's the weekend, can't be delivered until at least 5 days late. I paid a premium for a premium product and you failed to do what you promised. Please do the right thing and issue a full refund.”

“Absolutely appalling. Flowers didn’t arrive as agreed. Customer service were unable to help because “a third party was responsible” for delivery. Haute shirked any responsibility and there are no refunds if flowers die. Tulips were replaced with carnations in the Christmas flowers. Disappointing is an understatement.”

“Flowers I ordered in advance for a special occasion. Delivered a day late and were not needed thereafter. A waste of money, time and flowers. . Eventually had to buy them from a local store and made our own bouquet which turned out beautifully. Contacted customer service, absolutely no help, the company put the entire blame on the courier service (3rd party). The flowers were delivered a day after on a 2nd class stamp, therefore a delay in the flowers being delivered on time was a big possibility. The flowers were expensive and putting on 1st class stamp would have prevented a delay. No refund or some form of gift voucher was offered. It would have shown some form of a genuine sincerity to the whole situation. Really disappointed and personally would not order from them again. A mistake in the review i sent before. Delivered a day after not before.”

“Was charged £70 as I upgraded to a "large" bouquet. When arrived i was very disappointed. The bunch was nothing like the image on the website. I'd say easily half the size. Emailed customer service... their reply was almost as shocking as the poor bunch received. This is what you get.... Then silence. I'll prob just do a charge back as this is absolutely nothing like the image on their website”

“I am extremely disappointed with the flowers I received. I ordered from Haute, but they came from a second company called Prestige Flowers. I paid extra for a large bouquet, but it looks like a standard size. When I ordered, there was no clear explanation of how many stems come in small, medium, or large, and I feel like I got scammed. I contacted customer service the same day I received them, but I still haven't received an email back. The quality is terrible, honestly, store-bought flowers are better and cheaper. To top it off, the flowers were dead just three days later.”

“I was sent two bouquets by a generous friend. Browning flowers in the first bouquet that also lacked key flowers shown in the photo online. Second bouquet again some flowers going over on arrival and couldn't have been less generous with the amount of flowers. Really poor. I contacted them- they agreed that standards were below what they'd want and offered £15 off a future bouquet. Pathetic. They say as seen in vogue etc- other than in a paid ad in the back pages I'd love to see what proof there is of that. Haute by name. Sh*te on arrival.”
