What a treat to have met him. In fact, so much so that the wife and I drove back through the entire park at the end of our day to say thanks and he remembered our names and the things we had shared early in the say. What a great guy! He was helpful, super friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed very sincere. There was another young lady who was helping other folks who was also very friendly to them but we didn't hear much The store was VERY clean, the restrooms were clean (wife approved), and lots of good stuff. The park was well laid out, trails and warnings clearly indicated, and really just a great day.

Since the next business day would have been too late for my needs, we mutually agreed to cancel the order. The problem is that despite canceling the order, they never refunded my money. I emailed twice with no response. After waiting about a week, I called and was told they had "no idea" what I was talking about and claimed they never charged me -- even though I have both an online receipt and the charge on my credit card statement. Their response was essentially to dispute it with my credit card company and "leave them alone." I did dispute the charge and also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Even the BBB received delays, evasions, and contradictory information from this company. After nearly six months of trying to resolve this, I've given up on getting honest customer service from this florist. I normally avoid leaving negative reviews, but I want to warn others: be very cautious when ordering from this business. My experience was extremely frustrating, unprofessional, and ultimately cost me both time and money.
