Flower FREAT OUT!!

I decided to do artificial bouquets for my wedding.  I foung a girl on etsy that I totally fell in love with.  She was always very responsive, even texting me pictures of flowers from the flower stores in the beginning. Texting me pics of the finished products, etc.  I had paid her for everythin in January.  She told me around 2/7 they were done and she was sending them out.  on 2/14 I wrote her, no response... I finally wrote her again this past Monday and she told me she sent them out last Friday via UPS.  I spoke with my UPS driver and he said if she sent them out Friday they would have been here at the latest on this past Tuesday.  So I texted her yesterday (AGAIN) to please send me the tracking number, no response (AGAIN).  So I sent her an e-mail today saying I hope she is ok and asking her again for the tracking number and/or just a response that she has received my e-mail.  I noted in there that if I didn't hear from her in 24 hours I was going to mark it as non-delivered and start trying to get all of my money back... but that still leaves me with NO flowers for my wedding day bridal party and fathers!!! AH! Am I too worried??

    I also suggest to start working on plan B.... ASAP... just incase... somes UPS can take a while but she should have def given you a tracking number... try calling and seeing if they have a package with ur name...ive been able to do that before

    Oh no! I would definitely start looking for alternatives...some suggestions- if you can afford it, go with a florist for the basics, or maybe consider ordering wholesale and putting together yourself?

    What I'll probably do is talk to the florist who is doing my centerpieces and see how much it would be.  Ironically I already had a meeting with her for this saturday!

    that is great! Atleast you will have something...just sucks that ppl out there dont understand how important a wedding is to be fooling around and tricking you or ignoring your calls... Im sure whats ment to be will happen. :)

    She's a former bride who lives in Orlando, you would think she would understand!! I dont' doubt she made them, since my custom listing is a pic of allll of my flowers and bouts together, and if you forgot and didn't mail it yet, just say  so, don't lie and say you did and then never respond when I ask you for a tracking number!!! Ugh!

    What a witch!!! I can't believe that. I ordered two hair combs and a card box off of etsy and it only took no more than a week. My packages came thorugh the mail. One of them came all the way from Canada and it took only a week. I agree with people, def. start thinking about a plan B. If you don't hear anything soon try contacting etsy and see if it's possible to get your money back. It can be so frustrating when planning a wedding and you can't even trust people to deliver what they are supposed to. Keep us posted on what happens!!

    How wrong! As PPs have stated, go with Plan B. It will ALL work out in the end!
