It’s one of the most highly-anticipated days of the year where kids of all ages get the chance to thank that special woman in their lives in the attempt to give her a day to remember.

However, Moonpig and Interflora have been among those to be criticised online as Mother’s Day gift orders have either not turned up or haven’t been as expected.

Social media users have flooded Twitter to express their severe disappointment at wilting flowers arriving, the wrong cards and gifts being delivered - or no delivery at all.

One Twitter user even went as far as to hit out: “Thanks for ruining Mother’s Day! Don’t say you will deliver in time if you’re not going to.”

A Moonpig spokesperson told the Evening Times: “We promise customers delivery between 8am until 9pm, and we expect to make 90% of all deliveries before 2pm.

“We take the quality of our products extremely seriously, launching a ‘Freshness Promise’ this year, and apologise to any customers who have had issues.

“In the rare event that things go wrong, we ask that customers get in touch with our Customer Service teams via flowers@moonpig.com where we will do everything we can to remedy the situation.”

Interflora added: “We, in conjunction with our network of florists, deliver millions of bouquets a year to the delight of our customers.

“As one of our biggest delivery times of the year, the Mother’s Day weekend has seen some queries regarding orders.

“While it is a small number of the overall volume, we do take each and every enquiry very seriously.

“We have a very dedicated and hard-working customer support team who are working with our customers to put things right, according to our Interflora Promise.

“We apologise to the customers affected and will ensure that all queries are resolved as soon as possible.”
