Will no longer be a customer...
I purchased 2 gifts for Valentines Day worth almost 380 dollars. It arrived in 2 boxes, 1 is OK although not packaged properly, and the other was "worn" out box and when my wife opened it, it's missing an item and the 2 roses is not it its place and therefore the box got red marks on it. The roses were not badly damaged but given that it probably rolled over, some side petals are kind of "worn out". While I appreciate the possible resolutions made to replace the missing candle, my past purchase was nothing different from a normal online purchase and took away the "special" meaning of it. To add insult to injury, the Quality team ignored the fact that there was really a "quality" issue with the classic bundle where the items weren't snugged "fit" in its square and round holes that it resulted to transport issues (e.g. tumbling out of place) and thus affected the overall presentation. How can a 3-item bundle past quality and shipping it with just the 2 items? And to say that the 2 roses are "OK" as it was not damaged? If you bought a cake and it tumbled in the box and the icing are all over the place, will you still eat it? If this was not considered a quality issue, then I don't know what is, especially for a company that is supposed to provide "specialty" type gifts as it caters to love ones and not like big-box retail stores shipping ordinary non-perishable items. It's already Valentines day (Feb 14) and I felt like I just paid for nothing and my gift will go to trash as it didn't bring that "special" meaning. It's a shame as prior to this purchase, I thought Venus Et Fleur will be my "go-to" merchant for anything related to special occasions. My spending habit usually goes higher every year. I had high hopes and my wife also look up to this company and think highly of them and now, we'll have to simply look for another source in the future. For something so simple to make the customer "whole", I guess the company would rather lose its customers and future revenues. I do not recommend this company as I don't want others to feel the same experience and put a damper on the one of the most special day.
