Sharon at 1-800-flowers was very nice and professional. Almost immediately after sending them a message stating we didn't want the flowers delivered until a specified date before mothers day, Sharon e-mailed us and told us that on the day we requested, the flowers would be delivered, if approved by Amazon. I am very appreciative of both 1-800-flowers, and Amazon, for allowing this to happen. When the flowers arrive, I will post if they arrived on time, and the condition of the flowers. Update-roses arrived on the day we asked for, and they are beautiful, its been a long time since I have gotten my wife roses, and it was worth it. 5 stars
