Are flowers really that hard to deliver??

by BadDismount

I ordered flowers for my wife's birthday from these morons at 10:00 AM on a Friday for same-day delivery to her office. 5:00 PM rolls around and my wife leaves the office and they still hadn't been delivered. I call the florist and they tell me that they will just deliver them tomorrow... 1.) tomorrow is not my wife's birthday and 2.) tomorrow is a Saturday... how is she going to get the flowers at her office on a Saturday -- Happy belated birthday honey we're going to take a surprise trip you your office to pick up your late flowers... YAY.

There are some tough jobs in the world, making a bouquet of flowers, jumping into your van, smoking a Marlboro menthol light, and driving them to an address before a certain time is not one of them. I suggest that Breens florist stop hiring retarded personnel. You might also consider not charging $80 for a bouquet of flowers that you are incapable of delivering.

• Pros: none
• Cons: they don't deliver the flowers you pay $80 for

Reliable Floral Deliveries

by HouBlu

I have used Breen's a few times for a couple different occassions. My gifts have always been delievered on time. Good telephone service that will help pick flowers by season, colors or occassion for the arrangement.

My mom LOVES the potted plants she gets from Breens and I have always gotten rave reviews on the fresh cut arrangements.

I have seen some of the more "themed" gift baskets they do and they come out great too.

Basically anything you can come up with Breens will make for you and they will make it unique!!

Best Florist

by coffeeaddict13

Used Breen's to send flowers to mom for Mother's Day. They did a great job. I didn't really know what i wanted when i called, thought i would get the usual roses. The sales person I spoke with helped me pick something different than the standard. Mom got a lovely tropical arrangement that she loved, and it lasted a long time too. I reccomend Breens for you get GREAT service, people who know what they are doing, and the different options of something from FTD, roses, or something made just for you. Very fresh long lasting flowers, and they seem to go all over for deliveries, i have yet to call them and find somewhere in Houston that they don't go to. Thumbs up from me!!

• Pros: Great service, and they go everywhere!!

Valentine's Day success

by JRMMUSIC

Sent flowers for Valentine's Day through Breen's to my girlfriend and she loved them. I decided to not sent a typical FTD arrangement because I was afraid that other people in her office may get the same arrangement. Breen's sent a beautiful arrangement that was unique and she loved it. Now my girlfriend only wants flowers from Breen's. Thanks Breens for making my VDay magical.

• Pros: Unique arrangements
• Cons: none that I found
