"Thanks, You guys have been great to do business with!"

R.R., Portland, OR"

Last week we ordered flowers for a friend ...at Allegheny General.  We did not know that she was in intensive care when we ordered.  Your staff was responsive and courteous and, due to your follow-up, the flowers arrived just after she left ICU. 

My wife and I want you to know that both your product and your service are exemplary.  Our friend thought the flowers were extraordinary and we could not be more pleased with our first experience....we will unhesitatingly recommend your company to others.

Charles and Patricia Walther, Wheeling, WV

"Just a short note to tell you how much I appreciated your great help last week to send roses to my daughter...she said that they were the most beautiful roses she had ever received!  I talked to her last night and she said they looked as good as the day she got them last week.  Thank you so much for renewing my faith in calling an out of town florist...and having them deliver something higher than your expectations.  I will definitely be calling again in the future."

Pat Ernisse, Nebraska

"Quickly needing a bereavement plant for a family member in Squirrel Hill, I found this company on the internet and asked what was available for 'tomorrow before noon.'   What a beautiful dish of 3 colored violets they sent, and they were able to add the 'gold butterfly' I so wanted to add.  The recipient was overwhelmed with how beautifully they had put this together, and the butterfly gave her tears of joy in a day that had none.  Thank you to Linda and Jim and staff for your quality, quick delivery and the special touch that meant so much!"

Dauna Moore, Wheeling, WV

"I just wanted to send you a little note of thanks for amazing customer service in relation to trying to get a floral arrangement delivered to our aunt's home last weekend.  They had traveled to their cabin...and were not at home when you tried to deliver it.  You called my husband with concern and left a note at their home.  Before we could get back to you, they had called you and you delivered it within minutes of their returning home.  My aunt reports that it is an absolutely beautiful floral arrangement.  Thanks again for your expertise in floral arranging and impeccable customer service...We will continue to use your service in the future!"

Michelle Brincka

"WOW-- I must say that I was a little leery about ordering like this (have never done it before via internet and fax) but I am REALLY impressed!!! Your web site was great and user friendly and it was quite nice to fill out the fax order form and send it over rather than tie up the phone lines. And you sent over the invoice so quickly that we need for our company credit card report."

A Very Satisfied Customer, Pittsburgh, PA

"I want to thank you for your quick service and excellent flower selection. I appreciate your timely response to my order and the expertise that you provided...my wife loved the arrangement. It made our anniversary all the more enjoyable"

Stephen Pietracatello, Pittsburgh, PA 

 " I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for the lovely basket you sent to my sister...she loved everything, and the black and gold chips and salsa were a hit when they entertained friends for the Penguin game over the weekend. They lady that took my order was a HUGE help in putting a basket together. This is coming from the Caribbean saying THANK YOU and I will use your company many times in the future."

Pat Saxton, Grand Turks

"...the plants you delivered to my Mother were just beautiful. I have used your services many times since I live out of state and every time the plants or flowers were just as promised. I would never ever use another florist for the Pittsburgh area."

Bev Haggerty, Rockville, MD

" My nieces received the balloon bouquets that I ordered...I wanted to say thank you -- ordering was very easy and the person on the phone was very helpful and patient, and my nieces were thrilled with the balloons...I live in Virginia but have family in Pittsburgh, and would definitely use your store or refer you to others. Thanks again!"

C.S., Virginia

"You recently created and delivered an arrangement that was sent to my wife at the Pittsburgh Hilton in celebration of our 17th wedding anniversary. The arrangement included protea and ginger and various other tropicals...They were absolutely beautiful and my wife was thrilled...Thank you so much for taking the time to special order the flowers and doing such a wonderful job...Blumengarten is A-1 in my book."

David Shellie, Livonia, MI

"My daughter sent a picture of the flowers from her shower and there were magnificent!!! Thanks for doing such a special job. I would highly recommend you."

Hope Moreland

"Thank you for your help...in getting...roses to my mother. I was a last minute caller and needed the delivery in the early afternoon. Firstly, my mom was so pleased with the arrangement, she said it was really beautiful. Secondly, I had called other florists in the Pittsburgh area and they could not accommodate me and you did. So thanks very much for your help and assistance to make somebody's birthday a special one."

Beverlee Burak, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

"I now live in Rochester, NY but my company has offices in Downtown Pittsburgh...I wouldn't think of ordering from anyone else -- I lived and worked in Pittsburgh/Mt. Lebanon for 10 years, worked downtown and ordered a lot of flowers from your shop!"

Michael Rumrill, Rochester, NY

" I just wanted you to know how extremely pleased I was with the... arrangement that I recently sent to my parents. I have ordered flowers over the internet from other services in the past and have been disappointed when the arrangement did not look as beautiful as it appeared in the picture. The arrangement from your shop far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be ordering from you in the future."

Patty Boss, Pittsburgh, PA

"Just a note to thank you for going the "extra mile" for us when we needed two baskets for a giveaway at a trade show in Pittsburgh...I had called when our representatives were in a panic because they had nothing to give for prizes. Even though it was 20 minutes before your driver had to leave for the current day's deliveries, you made sure they were done and ready to go. The baskets were a 'hit' and everyone wanted to win one. It is rare in this day and age when a business goes beyond the call of duty to make a first time small order customer very happy. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service."

Laura, NTN, Inc.

"Thank you for your very special customer service. I always feel a personal connection when I order from you. I especially appreciate the creativity and beauty you add to your arrangements."

Beth Dunstan, Sinking Spring, PA

 "...our daughter (from Maryland) ordered two table arrangements... to be sent to Lidia's Restaurant in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. Of course, she had no idea what to expect, but when she saw them, she was extremely happy she ordered them from you. They were the most beautiful flowers and arrangements we have ever received in our 50 years of marriage. It was obvious of the care and pride you put into your business. You can be sure we will use you again, and will recommend you to others."

Joe and Mary Ellen Marchione

"Thank you for providing the best service and on time delivery I've ever had. Your service has been a blessing to me and my family for many years. I appreciate the care and quality attention you provide to every order."

"I would like to thank you for the beautiful flowers my mother received. They were better than I imagined. I have tried other florists and was not very happy with what I got. These roses were spectacular."

R. Kusluch, Pittsburgh, PA

"I just want to pass on my thanks and express my pleasure with your service...my parents just called me to rave about how beautiful [the fruit basket] was and how good the fruit is...Just wanted you to know that you went above and beyond expectations, and it was a pleasure doing business with you."

P. Snyder, Denver, CO

 "Just want to say that it is nice doing business with you! The flowers always get great comments. Because I live in Virginia it is so convenient to call on you to deliver for me in Pittsburgh...you have all the information saved so that the transactions are quick and easy. Thank you for your service"

S.A., Powhatan, VA

"I ordered a sympathy bouquet today, and you had it delivered within an hour of ordering. It meant so much to our family that we could get the flowers there on the same day we ordered. The person to whom we sent the flowers said it was the most gorgeous arrangement she has ever received. It's rare to find such outstanding service, and it is greatly appreciated!"

J.C., Westminster, CA

Tinaz Dhunjisha, Wheaton, IL

 "Last week I ordered a flower arrangement in a vase and a food gift basket to be delivered to my daughter at Duquesne U. Thank you sooo much for delivering to Duquesne -- she loved the gifts! She said the flowers were absolutely gorgeous and she was really looking forward to the hot chocolate...I've put your website in my favorites, and hope to do more business with you over the next few years."

L.P., Malvern, PA

"The gift basket was outstanding... We would recommend your company to others."

L.M., Hilliard, OH

 "I just wanted to thank you for all the great service over the years. Though things have changed in my life, the quality service and product that you produce is always perfect. As a senior at Penn State University in State College, PA, it is great to know that I can rely on someone local to pass on my feelings, no matter what the situation or occasion. It is also comforting to know that I can rely on your webpage to order effectively, but if I ever have a question, your staff is always willing to lend a helping hand in person or over the phone.

"Thank you for the years of great service, and I look forward to many more years to come."

Louis Frankel, Cheswick & State College, PA

"My husband and I moved from Pittsburgh to Gilbert, Arizona 10 years ago. All of our relatives ... still live in The 'Burgh. I order flowers/fruit baskets/gifts many times throughout the year for Pittsburgh delivery, and I like to use a local florist. My mother was recently hospitalized... and I wanted to send a fruit basket when she returned to her house. I found your company through "Google" ... and decided to give you a try. Your contact person, Lynn, was absolutely wonderful. I had to put the order on hold because my mother was not released as soon as we thought she would be. Lynn worked with me, and the basket was delivered the day my mother returned home. She said that it was absolutely gorgeous. It is so nice to have a florist I can rely on long-distance. Thank you again, and I will be using you for all my future orders."

Cynthia Zuppello, Gilbert, AZ

"I have appreciated having your local florist services in Pittsburgh, as I have had various occasions to send flowers to my parents there, which is a really invaluable service from where I live, in Beijing, China. My mother has often commented to me that your arrangements are always stunning."

Amy Forest

 "I've been a customer of yours for, wow, about 15 years, at least! EVERY comment I have ever received about ANY flowers and/or plants I've sent from you has ALWAYS been exceptional! In this time of almost consistent non-service, YOUR STORE REMAINS DEDICATED TO THE CUSTOMER!"

M. Donovan

 "I placed an order on Thursday to have an arrangement delivered for mother's day. This is just a simple note of THANKS. My mom was extremely pleased with the arrangement and when I spoke with her she confirmed the arrangement was delivered on Saturday and she said the flowers were BEAUTIFUL!!! I randomly picked your florist from a variety of florists listed on the internet and just wanted to inform you that the service provided to me over the phone, the quality of the flowers and the timeliness of the delivery was truly appreciated. I thank you for your service and look forward to placing my next order."

 Antoinette Womack, Windsor, CT

G.B., Wolcott, CT

"Yesterday I ordered flowers from your company. Because I live out of the Pittsburgh area, there is always some worry about using a florist that is not known...[your customer service representative] was friendly, courteous and professional. The person to whom I sent the flowers has raved about them. I was informed the arrangement and selection of flowers were beautiful. They had the effect I had hoped they would. Thanks for doing such an excellent job on all fronts."

J. Nolan, Charlotte, NC

"...just a short note to let you know how pleased my mother is with the flowers you have delivered to her. She loved the "flower bunny" at Easter, and the beautiful basket for Mother's Day. I'm very happy with both. The FTD arrangement was very much like the picture. I appreciate the beauty and service."

E. H., Carnegie, PA

"Just wanted to thank you for getting the fruit basket delivered as you said you would. My brother and his wife were very pleased with the fruit, flowers and the extras. They said it was impressive....It is so difficult ordering from a picture and yet you live up to your standards."

Maria Vadas, Administrative Coordinator, NORESCO

"First time I've written a "fan letter" to a company, but I'm so happy to have found Blumengarten on the Internet...I'm so glad I didn't order from one of the bigtime impersonal flower senders...You're to be commended for having such a helpful, professional and gracious person taking phone orders."

M.J.N., San Diego

Michelle Covel, Gilbert, AZ

"I thought I would let you know that the family I had sent...flowers to...called to let me know just how beautiful they were and how much they loved them. As usual, you guys have done a fantastic job -- I only wish you had branches in all the other states I have friends in as well!"

S.H., Singapore

"I have been sending my Mom flowers from afar for decades. Last year I discovered your website and ordered an arrangement. Mom said it was the most gorgeous arrangement she's ever received. So glad I can order direct from your website and be able to deal with a local Pittsburgh florist without all the up charges! Thanks for this great service!"

A.M.B., Boise, ID

"I wanted to thank you for the beautiful flowers that I ordered from your shop. Since I live in Tennessee, I was not familiar with any Pittsburgh florists and I located your shop on the web. My mother-in-law visited Pittsburgh...and brought me a picture of the arrangement. It was truly a visual feast. The colors were spectacular and the design was just what I envisioned...Thank you, again, for a wonderful job!"

J.B.K., Elizabethton, TN

"I ordered flowers from you and had them sent to a friend earlier today. I'd just like to say thanks. She really appreciated them. Thanks for your fast, reliable and quality service!"

Q.N.

"...about three years ago, when I needed to send flowers to a "Pittsburgh-ite," I did a web search and recall that Blumengarten was the sole "hit." Since then yours is the only company I have used...the service and flowers from Blumengarten is a constant that I can rely on. Though we have never met, it seems as if we have not only a history with your company, but a relationship as well."

M.B., Northern Virginia

"I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful arrangement I purchased...for my girlfriend. She loves it. Everything was perfect, the flowers, the colors, and the vase. I will definitely make a point to call you for any flowers I order in the future...It's nice to know that there is a company I can count on when I can't be there for her."

S.J.S.

 "I want to...tell you how much I enjoy doing business with you. Your staff is unfailingly polite, pleasant, courteous, and creative. The arrangements I receive are lovely. They range from breath-taking to whimsical...all from the small amount of information I provide about the event. I constantly receive comments and compliments on the floral displays and centerpieces. You really add more than you know to each event, and that helps make me look good"

Catering Director, LaRoche College

"I ordered flowers to send to my sister...via your 1-800 number and wanted to thank you for the excellent service I received. The customer service operator I spoke with was courteous and efficient, and helped me to select an arrangement in my price range without any pressure to 'up the amount' or select something that I did not want. Perhaps the highest praise I can offer is that my sister was thrilled with the sweetheart roses and said that she had never received a lovelier arrangement....I look forward to using your service in the future."

S.H.H., Minneapolis, MN

"I ordered an arrangement on-line through your web-site...the arrangement arrived exactly as requested. In addition, the flowers were in excellent condition...I was able to see the flowers this weekend and they are still in excellent shape...please know that I will not hesitate to use your services in the future."
