Aloha Pea!
I too have had some "dealings" with Hawaiian-Tropical, but nothing as serious as you mentioned. I have purchased from them 6 or 7 times over the last 2 years. My two "dealings" were... 1) I got the 'regular' sized bouquet when I paid for the 'deluxe', and 2) They substituted gingers for proteas when I had already ordered a bouquet of gingers and didn't need / want any more. I was given a store credit for the full amount for the order they substituted with, not a cash refund.

They never answer their phone, and all communication must be done via email. This is difficult, I understand, as I like to get things straightened out quickly.

My last 2 orders (over $150 each order) were perfect and the flowers proved to be very fresh by lasting for a couple weeks. Even at Christmas time!

I don't have any information on the others you listed. Good Luck! If you do find a great vendor, please let us know!

Mahalo!
