As I am out of province, I wanted to have a get well bouquet ready for a family member when they returned from the hospital. There was a delay for the surgery so I had the florist put a hold on the delivery, not knowing whether it was going to be a delay for a day or a week or whatever. Even though the truck had gone out for the day, they were able to accommodate my delivery same day and the flowers arrived just in time! Thank you!
