When I found out my usual go-to online floral…read moredelivery biz wouldn't be able to deliver an arrangement by the next day, in time for a friend who'd be having surgery the following day, I knew I needed to go local. However, me being in NorCal and my friend in SoCal, I had NO idea what shop would fit the bill. Thanks to the internet & the trusty Yelp community, I found Casa! And I'm so glad Yelp didn't steer me wrong.
I quickly and easily went on their website site and to my surprise, they had an option I'd never seen before with a florist, their 'Designer's Choice', pricing started at $30!! Basically, you select the type of recipient (mom, wife, friend, etc), name a price, then select a date. Of course I had to pay an $18 delivery on top, but that's to be expected. I was able to leave a message to go with the delivery and submit my payment...so easy!
Of course I wanted to be sure all went smoothly with the delivery, so I called the shop after placing my order to ensure it was received. A nice lady answered and confirmed, then proceeded to ask if there was any particular preferred time for delivery, no guarantees I think. Unsure whether my friend would be home to recurve delivery, I told her I'd call back....Lord knows I wouldn't want it sitting in heat on the doorstep if at all possible!
Once I confirmed my friend would be home all day, I made sure to call back and say it wouldn't matter the time, but earlier than later would be nice, giving my friend more time to enjoy the flowers. The lady said she'd get it out before noon the next day and would email a picture of the delivery. THAT was such a wonder touch to this entire experience!! Because with other online services, you read reviews of poor quality deliveries and partially wilted florals that bring disappointment instead of joy. The pictures from Casa AND my friend were gorgeous and perfection!! Loved it to say the least.
So Casa de las Flores 2 not only kept to their word and delivered on their promise, but they also delivered a meaningful gift to an amazing woman! BTW, I forgot to mention, Casa is a woman-owned business, so I DEFINITELY can get behind that!
If anyone is looking for a wonderful experience all around when it comes to floral design & delivery in South Gate area, I would HIGHLY recommend this fine establishment and without a doubt use again in the future should the need arise.
