Due to the pandemic, you may not be able to celebrate the way you’re used to but it could be worth sending the lady in your life a surprise delivery.
The prices of delivery bouquets vary wildly, starting from £5 on Sainsbury’s website, while Interflora’s cheapest bouquet sets you back £35.
It’s well worth shopping around though as the delivery fees vary too.
If money is tight, don’t panic – below we’ve rounded up the cheapest Mother’s Day bouquets we could find online this year.
What happens if you’re not happy with your flowers?
IF the flowers you’ve ordered online arrive in a sorry state, there might be something you can do about it.
Consumer group Which? advises you take the following steps to get a refund:
- Take a picture as evidence of poor condition or damage to your flowers as this will help support your complaint.
- If a loved one or friend has sent you flowers that have arrived in a poor condition or late, make sure you tell them. Otherwise the retailer may say they can’t access the order information and won’t resolve the problem.
- If you order a specific number of flowers but fewer than this amount are delivered to you, you’re entitled to a partial refund for the missing flowers.
Of course, if you’re able to visit your mum in person or if you can pop by her doorstep, you may be able to find cheaper flowers in supermarkets.
For example, Aldi’s Mother’s Day flower range is available from March 11 and its prices start from just £1.99 for a pocket money posy.
