Subject: Thank you

I would just like to say Thank you very much for sending the beautiful flowers so quickly that I ordered through the Amway website that were delivered to Nambour Hospital yesterday. The 83 year old recipient received them just prior to her life threatening operation yesterday which lifted her with excitement from a bad state of depression just before she had went into the operating theatre. I was slightly reluctant to send them through the internet because I wasn’t sure if it would be processed as quickly as ringing it through, but I am very loyal to the Amway website which made me decide to try it. I was so glad I did, and I wish to thank you once again for getting the flowers to the recipient so quickly. It made such a big difference to her before the operation. I haven’t seen the flowers myself, but I received two phone calls last night from relatives thanking me and telling me how beautiful they are.

Thanks again from a very satisfied customer,

Margaret Ravaillion.

Dear Petals,

I would like to commend you and your team for a great service and for going the extra mile in dealing with a special request that came at a time of lose and pain with the death of a close family friend.

I received a call from London around 12 midnight from my daughter asking if I could arrange to have flowers at the funeral of Grandmother who had tragically past away. The funeral being the next day at 10 am. We knew the town where it was being held ,the church, but no street address or phone number ,we did have a deadline though.

I informed my daughter I would give it my best shot and so here I am.

I had been recommended to your site through the a2k site and having found the produced best suited to our needs followed the prompts and came to the place for special instructions. Here I apologised for the lack of information supplied and asked you to give it your best shot.

When I arrived at the venue myself, early so as I could find it in plenty of time the flowers at the stage had not arrived. The guest and families arrived and moved into the church and I thought I may have to take them to the house latter. But as the last of the guest were being seated a car pulled up in the car park I had a window seat] one of your team emerged caring the requested flowers ,he was meet by one of the attendants who very formerly took them to the front placed them on show with the others gave me a thumbs up on the way passed.

The best part was the flowers were from two grand sons who are living in England at the moment and could not be there in person but wish to be part of this special celebration of their Grandmothers life. After the flowers were placed there one of the family members wailed over and checked the card and was able to inform the family members that the boys had remembered and were part of this special family time.

So Jill to you and your team at Petals Network The family thanks you all for a fine effort that really made a difference on the day.

I would highly recommend your service and product.

Again thank you.

Chris Sonntag.

Dear Petals,

What prompt service! Thanks. My mother is unwell at the moment, having recently been diagnosed with Leukaemia. Living a long way from her in Switzerland makes it hard, so I decided to send her some flowers to cheer her up. I ordered the flowers at 11pm here and they were at my mother's door in Geelong within a few hours. I requested pink and in her thank you note, my mother mentioned how pretty all the pink flowers were.

So, thanks again. Your efficient service really put a smile on my mother's face.

Dear Jill,

Thanks again for delivering flowers to my Aunt. It's never easy to send flowers or purchase through the internet, and when you're thousands of miles from home like I am (holidaying in America) it is even harder. Did they get the order? Were the flowers delivered?

Well, I did have problems with the connection when I ordered from you, and it was reassuring to know you were there behind the web pages, making sure everything worked out well. I was very impressed by your service, and from all the other comments in your testimonials page, it seems you're an expert at great service!!

Thanks again, I will be sure to recommend you to everyone flower lover I know!

Dear PETALS!

What a wonderful service! I have just been on the phone to the hospital where the basket arrangement I ordered was delivered - my Dad, the nurses and even the doctor commented on how beautiful the arrangement is - thank you!

A beautiful arrangement, delivered on time, at a reasonable price within hours of ordering - what more could one ask for!?!?

I will be using your service again soon. As an Australian living overseas this is the perfect way to let the people back home know that I am thinking of them on important occasions.

I placed two orders last week for my Dad who is very ill in

I wanted you to know that the flowers arrived within 24 hours
and he was really happy - boosted his spirits tremendously
- in any case, I rang his hospital on June 2 and spoke to the
night sister for the hospital address, then jumped online
and placed the order through Petals for the following day
and when she came back on shift again the following evening
the flowers had arrived!

Everyone was amazed and it was the talk of the ward!
Thanks - your service's efficiency means a lot especially
right now.

Dear Scott Williams:

When I wanted to send roses from the States to a very special person
living in Australia, I initially inquired with local florists and was
informed of a 3 to 4 day delivery time plus an additional international fee.
Also, the local florists cautioned that they could not guarantee the
quality of flowers. I decided not to place the order.

After returning home I found your site on the Internet.
Within minutes I had viewed the floral arrangements and sent a
delivery request to you. Petals immediately notified me that the flowers
would be delivered that day. It was almost too easy.
A couple of hours later I received a telephone call from a very happy
friend who said the roses had been received and were beautiful.

Petals made this possible in a fraction of the time and at half the costs
as compared to my local florists. I just want to thank you for your
quality product and fast, friendly service. Your web page is bookmarked
and I will be calling on you again.

PS. You're service is very prompt. Cess has already received the roses
and loves them. Thank you very much for doing such a great job. Have a
>wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,
Terry Payne

Subject: Great Service

"Ordering flowers through Petals Network was far too easy.
I placed the order at around 7.15am (Australian time) on a
Saturday morning for a friend who urgently needed cheering up
and just after lunchtime they had been delivered.

The quality selection of flowers really did the trick.
Prior to discovering Petals Network I had tried to
use a 'large well known' flower distribution chain
but their web site was so user-unfriendly and despite
assuring me that I didn't need a password unless
I was a regular customer, it kept insisting I entered one
and then wouldn't show me where to register!

So think local seems to be the key here.
Even the international time zones didn't cause a problem
- I was working in Finland, away from my home base in
the United Kingdom and needed to send some instant cheer
- Petals Network came to the rescue and the next time I need
to send some good cheer in Australia they will
once again 'get the call'

So, in reality, for me, she received it in like three hours from my

Dear Jill:

I wanted to say thank you for helping my surprise for a very special
person turn out perfect! I was a little worried about ordering flowers for
someone without seeing them first, but after he got them I realized all my
worries were for nothing. "Not only were they in as much of a surprised
state as I was as to the size of them and their intense blood red color;
they are about 3 ft tall and absolutely magnificent!" Those are the
words used by the recipient of the dozen roses I sent. Once again thank
you and I will be using your services a lot in the years to come. It's
great knowing you can rely on someone to help in showing those you care
about how special they are when your 7,000 miles away and can't do it

Just a quick line to say that my sister was delighted with the flowers/champagne/balloons that arrived for her birthday. I believe that there was a problem with the number of the house (I did not find this out until after the delivery as I don't check my e-mail that frequently), anyway they all arrived at the right place at the right time and I was assured that the flowers were beautiful.
