ASCIONE FLORIST & GREENHOUSES

Earlier this week - my niece (who is military) in England - ordered flowers for her grandmother for Mother's Day. She specially ordered specific flowers knowing they were her grandmother's favorite and was willing to pay extra for that specific flower. She was promised the piece would consist of mostly that specific flower. Sadly, upon delivery of the flower arrangement - though very nice - there was not one of that special flower in the piece. My niece contacted this florist (Ascione in Toms River) and in speaking to a man on the phone - was told not once, but twice - to "go f**k" herself. When my niece asked to speak to an owner or manager - she was told that the shop was closing and wouldnt be open again until after Mother's Day. I cant think of one florist in the world that 1) would close early during a busy holiday week like before Mother's Day; 2) that would allow a customer to be spoken to in such a disgraceful manner as that; 3) would hang up on that customer - even knowing she was calling from overseas. Would I recommend this florist - perhaps ... when pigs fly. DISGRACEFUL!!!
