“Yesterday, I ordered a same-day floral arrangement as a sympathy sentiment for family over 1000miles away. I went online and randomly selected this local to their area florist who offered same-day delivery. At the time of my order, it was a little past noon. I received a call back almost immediately stating that the delivery driver had already left for that location and they asked if the delivery could be made the next day. This wasn’t an issue for me, as it wasn’t an urgent matter. It was a gesture I wanted to make given that I was unable to travel for the memorial services. I think her name was Rita. She was so kind and had great customer service. They were kind enough to upgrade the floral arrangement. The death that we experienced in our family was sudden, so when my family receive the florals, they were pleasantly surprised with the quality of beautiful flowers the arrangement was made with. It made me feel so happy I chose them.”

“I had a wonderful first experience wirh Seithel's Florist! I sent my daughter a beautiful arrangement offered online. She was thrilled! She said it was the color of a Charleston sunset. The delivery was perfect. I will definitely use Seithel's Florist again. I'm an FTD master floral designer of 44 years and am confident I contacted the right florist for my daughter's first birthday spent away from home! Thank you so much!”
