Delia’s Florist

I ordered some flowers via Eflorist which where delivered by Delia’s. To start with they were nothing at all like what I had ordered and looked worst than a £5 bunch from the local supermarket. They were for a mother;s Day gift so I was incredible disappointed my mum ending up with an awful bunch of flowers. My Mum did call the florist to say what had arrived was nothing like the ordered as was met with a rude an unhelpful manager, he used the usual excuse it is busy, we do sometimes substitute, bla bla bla and did not once apologise. I would suggest you stay away.

This is a beautiful florist & has a wide range of fresh cut flowers & plants. They have many gifts that range from handtieds to a gift wrapped plants which are produced by talented florists! Or if you are buying for yourself there is plenty to choose from. You get what you pay for & its well worth it at delias ive had flowers last over 2weeks on a few occasions. The staff are always there to help & give you advice. You either order your flowers or pop into the modern shop & choose from the many handtieds etc made up to take away with you. You wouldnt go to marks & spencers for your flowers if you was in didsbury, delias is 110% better quality & alot bigger range of fresh flowers!!!

I’ve written about this florist before in rather negative terms, and I think I’ve been a little harsh. I agree that yes, it is expensive, and yes, the flowers don’t generally last that long, but really, they are quite beautiful and I suppose even if you are paying for the packaging then that is what you are going to a proper florist’s for, at the end of the day.
So, this is probably the best place to go in Didsbury if you do need a spectacular bunch of flowers for a gift. However it is by far not the cheapest.

Really quite disappointing. I’ve ordered arrangements to be delivered to friends and family on a few occasions (merely out of location convenience) and as usual, have the generic feedback of thank you for the flowers, they’re lovely but I’ve since popped in directly on three separate occasions for bouquets for myself and found the staff to be arrogant and not have the time (despite the shop being empty) to talk and be creative and when I’ve paid the extra to have my selection of stems and flowers cut and arranged, it’s been a slap-​dash affair with little thought. They might as well hack them up with a machete! The flowers aren’t cheap either and for the money I’d expect them to be better presented and despite taking care to look after them, they never seem to last long. I’ll be sticking to my safe bet of places I used to order from in the city centre despite higher delivery fees as at least the consistency is good and you know you’ll get something that lasts more than a day or two.
Didsbury needs a good florist. I’d rather buy my flowers from M&S across the way.
