San Jose FLorist

Noelle’s Unilocal Notebook 2014
In the past I’ve received flowers from Pro-​Flowers. My family was in need of a funeral arrangement so I went online to Pro-​Flowers. They had a great selection of floral funeral arrangements and varying price points. The Serenity Wreath is the arrangement we ordered, it consisted of white roses, lilies, chrysanthemums and carnations. Once, I placed my order it lead me to a partner website of theirs San Jose Florist.
Originally, I wanted the flowers delivered to my home and I would take them to the viewing. The owner of San Jose Florist gave me a call on my cell phone to make sure this is what I really wanted. I used to work part time in a flower shop during high school and college. I guess I just wanted to personally deliver them but after giving it much thought, I agreed it would be best if they delivered them to the mortuary where the viewing/​rosary would take place. The owner of San Jose Florist was very kind, considerate and informative.
Upon arriving at the mortuary for the viewing/​rosary I was pleased with the quality and the craftsmanship of the floral arrangement. Days later the flowers still looked so beautiful. Excellent quality, wonderful customer service makes this a 5 star experience in my Unilocal Notebook. I will definitely order flowers for my family and friends from San Jose Florist in the near future.
Noelle’s Notes
A Noelle Favorite!

I walked in here today to get a corsage for my mom for my baby shower this weekend.
I left without ordering anything.
First, when I walked in, they greeted me politely. But then it got weird.
I asked for a corsage, and they only showed me a book. Their delivery man was there and started talking to the woman helping me as though I was not even standing there!
Another woman came out and said she would help me so that the first woman could speak with the delivery man. REALLY? I am standing right here!
So anyway, then, I am looking at the book, I told them no roses, as my mom is allergic. The new woman says to me «I’ve never heard of that.» Are you kidding me? You have never heard of someone being allergic to roses? YOU ARE A FLORIST.
I asked if they would make me a corsage with gerber daisies, and she didn’t know what a gerber daisy was. Again, REALLY? YOU ARE A FLORIST.
After her hemming and hawing and telling me that daisies won’t work (ummm, yes they will. I had GD corsages and bouts at my wedding and they were exquisite) and then telling me she might not be able to get the flowers on Saturday, I finally just said, «I am really uncomfortable with this interaction. I am going to take my business somewhere else»

I will never recommend to anybody out there to use San Jose Florist. They have crappy service, and are never around to listen to any complaints. I would give negative stars if avail.
My father in law passed away recently and my wide wanted to buy a special flower arrangement for him. She wanted the SF logo out of flowers. She called several florists and requested this, san jose florist was the only one that would give an estimate. So she placed the order. 1^st, they almost didn’t deliver on time. They claimed that we gave the wrong delivery time. Then the arrangment was absolutly horrible. I wouldn’t have paid $ 20 for the arrangment. My wife paid around $ 175. For that much I was very dis-​appointed. After speaking to the owner and getting them to agree on a refund, I was never able to get a hold of them again. They were never in the office. Needles to say, they never refunded the money either.
