Extremely Disappointed – Poor Service and Wrong Order
*Update - Correction*
Thank you for your reply.
Firstly, I’d like to note that you’ve referred to me by my first name throughout your message, despite not having introduced yourself. While I appreciate your follow-up, a more professional tone would have been welcomed.
Regarding the order — having now reviewed it, *we accept that we mistakenly selected the wrong item online, and I take full responsibility for that. And want this update to reflect this.*
However, my feedback was not based on the product itself, but rather on the overall experience — particularly the lack of communication and the fact that delivery arrived well after the 2–6pm slot we paid extra for, with no proactive update unless we chased.
As for the phone call — I must respectfully disagree with your description. I was not shouting or aggressive. I was understandably frustrated about the delay, but I remained polite while trying to get clarity on what was happening. We even sent you a thank you message once received.
Yes, we agreed to continue with the delayed delivery, but only because it was the child’s birthday and we were left with very little choice in the moment. Unfortunately, the balloons arrived too late to be enjoyed by the intended recipient.
This response is not meant to continue the conversation further. I’ve taken accountability for our part, and shared honest feedback on what could have been handled better on yours.
Best regards,
R Simpson
We ordered a Unicorn & Star foil balloon bouquet from sweet-balloons.uk for our daughter’s 5th birthday party. We paid extra to ensure delivery between 2pm and 6pm, as we specifically wanted it to arrive before her bedtime.
By 6pm, nothing had arrived. There was no update, no message, and no apology. We tried calling and messaging via WhatsApp, and when we finally got through, the woman we spoke to was abrupt and unprofessional—borderline rude. She told us the balloons would arrive by 8pm, which was already outside the delivery window we’d paid for.
Still, nothing by 8pm. No update, no explanation. We had to chase again ourselves. Eventually, the order showed up at 8:30pm—by which point our daughter was asleep, and the moment we’d planned was missed.
To make matters worse, the order was completely wrong. No unicorn, no stars—just a generic-looking bouquet that seemed more suited to an adult’s party. No thought to the occasion or what was ordered.
We’re incredibly disappointed—not just by the delay, but by the lack of communication and the dismissive attitude we received. It felt like once they had our money, the customer service stopped mattering.
Would not recommend and won’t be using again.
