Updated: Did I do the right thing?
Update: After lunch a second bouquet was delivered. I just assumed it was because he complained. I called him when I got off and said that the flowers were beautiful because they were and asked if he had complained. He laughed and said he had actually planned for me to get two bouquets. He had wanted them to deliver me a flower every hour of the work day but they told him no so that was his compromise. It was super cute and I should have known to expect something like that because he's always full of surprises.
DH order me flowers for our anniversary that is today from the floweriest next door to my office. I knew he did this Saturday because the payment shows on our bank account. He spent $53 dollars. The flowers came this morning and it looks like a maybe $20 bouquet. Its precious and I love it but its NOT a $50 bouquet. I took a picture and sent it to E and said that I love it but I really think he should call the floweriest and complain that he did not get what he paid for.
Oh and let me tell you what is in it so you get an idea.
2 red roses, 1 pink Mum, 1 mini iris, and like 6 carnations.
So was I right to tell E to complain?
ETA: I wouldn't be complaining at all if I didn't know how much he had paid for it. It just makes me mad that they ripped him off like that.
Re: Updated: Did I do the right thing?
Is it what he ordered?
I remember once when H was deployed he sent me flowers after an argument. They were the most hideous things I've ever seen in colors I can't stand. So I secret squirrel explained to him what they looked like because I couldn't fathom that's what he chose to send me.
Turned out, he'd actually ordered a replica of our wedding flowers, pink and white roses. Instead, they sent me red hat society daisies, mums, and carnations. He was not pleased and he complained.
If you got what he ordered, then no, he shouldn't complain. He should just learn more about getting better value for his money.
Click me, click me!
I probably wouldn't have said anything beause I wouldn't want to make him feel bad. But it does sound he got ripped off.
I might have just sent him a picture and said "thanks for the flowers!" and then he could see it for himself and decide if he felt it wasn't what he paid for.
Do you think he called them and gave them a price limit and let them choose the arrangement? Maybe they took advantage of the situation.
Also, did you get a nice vase with it? That always raises the prices of the arrangements quite a bit.

I would've taken a picture and texted him a nice thank you... and if he didn't text back a "WTH?!" then that would be a pretty good indicator that it was actually what he picked out. I just wouldn't want to make him feel like he had "cheap" taste or something. I know MH would have no clue if he was being taken for a ride when it comes to flowers.
But, FWIW, yes. That is a rip off.

I'm not too good with flowers, but I have noticed that any delivery/tax fees that get added on at the end can really kick up the cost. I went quickly to FTD and 1-800-flowers and most of their smaller arrangements have about 8-14 stems of flowers, like this one:

I would've sent him a picture and see what his reaction was.
Something similar happened to DH. I had a feeling there was a mistake b/c DH knows I don't do lillies b/c of my allergies and they're so fragrant. He heard me sneeze a few times on the phone. lol. So, he asked for a picture and then wrote the company, bc that was definitely NOT what he ordered.
