On June 4, 2008, you delivered a beautiful arrangement of flowers to my mother there in St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. The flowers were pretty, and the best part was the "Bee" that you put on top! Must be some kind of Bee Well bee, and the nurses liked it so much they put it on their counter in the ICU even though they weren't supposed to have it there! You sure got a lot of exposure because of that bee! I'm calling to tell you how happy we were to have you do this for us, and that mom is coming along just fine.

I want to thank you so very much for your help last mother's day. I was about to get ready to get on a cruise and you came to the rescue!  Even delivered the next day when the guard at my parent's residence would not accept delivery.  My mother loved the flowers in the watering can.  Thanks again. Everything worked out great.

Tina,
I need flowers sent to my daughter-in-law in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix. She just had a baby girl and we won't be there for a few months. I looked through the Internet and I checked out 15 sites before choosing yours! I found pink flowers in a basket with a pink bear. That's what I want. Your site is beautiful, and so different from everyone else's!!

Thanks.

This is from Rick in New York

After a recent fiasco ordering a fifty-first wedding anniversary arrangement for my parents through FTD, the owner Tina Ashburn made a gracious personal effort to rectify the situation. She took major steps to make good on an order that, although displayed on the FTD website, was virtually impossible to fill due to the unavailability of spring and summer flowers in the Christmas season. FTD should review their offerings to the public to better serve requests (people choose carefully from their site to send the flowers they want to be received..not second choices!).. Tina redelivered a beautiful arrangement even after I had lost faith in FTD and the possibility of a resolution. Thank you, Tina and Road Runner Florist.

Best regards.

Hi,

Now that I opened the package you can tell your friend that she outdid herself!! It was packed with all kinds of stuff, from thermal boot knee-high socks, cat candle, chocolate, Christmas decorations, cocoa, tea, cat writing pad, beautiful cocoa/coffee cup with stirring spoon, candy cane, apple tin lotion & bath gel that smells heavenly (apple is one of my favorite fragances....Avon used to have an apple blossum sache perfume cream that I loved). It was tied with a beautiful Christmas green & red ribbon bow that I have already tied to the staircase and a pine sprig with decorations that I placed next to the orange tiffany lamp.

Thank you so much.....how thoughtful...I love it:0)

Tina, I just had to call you and tell you about the balloon and the mug and everything that you sent to my daughter at Thunderbird Hospital for Nurses’ Day! Everything was beyond my expectations! I was stressed out and I didn’t have time to go on line or check anything out and I just had to trust you! I thought from your description that she’d get a terrific mug, but she called and said she had the cutest mug and balloon. And the pistachios were amazing, just like you told me they would be, and she said that, too! I’ll certainly be calling Roadrunner Florist Basket Express again soon!

Now I need you to do a Phoenix Suns basket for a lady at the Hyatt Regency who’s going to have a baby and she’s a BIG Suns fan! I’m going to give her 4 tickets to a game, but I thought, gee, why JUST give her tickets when I can have Tina put together a great basket of Suns things and make a terrific show! I know when I give you an idea you run with it, so here’s one for you!! See you next week, when you bring another terrific basket!

Sam Lloyd

Please tell Pamela the dieffenbachia plant she sent to my friend for her 95th birthday was just perfect and thank you. I am really, really happy with it.

Pamela, my daughter-in-law just stared at this basket. And the decorations. She kept all the ribbons and everything. So many fruits, everything, and the expensive cookies and 2 boxes of candy! Oh, my, I’m telling you! It’s unbelievable! My granddaughter said only grandma would think of something like this! Oh, yeah! They didn’t eat the home-made cookies I made for Christmas, but ate the candy instead! I gave your phone number to some other people. My son’s in-laws couldn’t get over it! Thanks, thanks, thanks! Pamela, I couldn’t believe it when you and Tina brought it over Christmas Day and my son just loved it!

I can not give you enough accolades about the basket you sent! Everyone thought it was so beautiful. They didn't even want to open it. They wanted to give it away as a door prize. But my husband insisted we open it and the fruit was wonderful. My sorority sisters are still talking about it! All they wanted to do was look at it! I'm so glad I didn't order those pieces of fruit that are advertised. I'll be calling you again real soon.

The basket just arrived and Debbie just LOVES it! That little critter you put in there is adorable! Got her a little misty-eyed when she opened it. So how much do I owe ya hon? And again thanks so much.

Deb's asked for your website link and email address, she's doing some flowers & such for Christmas & likes her basket so much she'd like to order from you. Said she feels better going through somebody who delivers known quality rather than like 1-800-Flowers or something.

Glad to hear biz is up, quality speaks loudly!

I work for a company that represents 1-800-Flowers, and they give us a 20% discount. But I'm calling you again this year because I want to deal with you and not with some company that I don't know anyone. You've sent baskets to my dad and mom and brother for 3 years and they always like them, so this year I want to add one more person.

Thanks, Tina.
