Kamp's Delivered Sad, Tiny, Unopened and Dead Roses to my Sweetie!

by rchadwi

This V-Day (2008) I went to use my usual florist to deliver flowers to my wife. I had difficulty contacting them and, in the haste to get her flowers delivered that day, chose to use Kamps for the 1st time. I thought a family-owned, 48-year business must know what they are doing. HORRIBLE DECISION. The flowers - yes they did get delivered that day - were a dozen premium long-stemmed red roses at almost $90. The actual product was 12 tiny, non-opening and (within 72 hours) DEAD red roses, in a red vase that actually was so cheaply dyed it stained our counter-tops.

The product Kamps delivered was horrible. When I was arranging delivery, I told them "I'm nervous using you guys because I've always been happy with my other florist." They assured quality - they lied. Their 1st impression on me was a horrible one. I highly recommend NOT using these guys - I won't mention the vendor I've been happy with (because I don't want people to think I'm disparaging Kamps on some kind of "insider advertising" campaign). Suffice it to say, I'll never stray from this vendor again. At least I won't use Kamps. Horrible, pathetic and totally unacceptable product for a premium price. Caveat Emptor.

• Pros: On-Time Delivery
• Cons: Horrible Flowers, Dead Flowers, Horrible Arrangement
