This is an incredibly disheartening review. Ashley, you did not spend $281 on your bouquet. You purchased a large, which was $162. You live in Canada, we are in the US. Shipping costs are out of our hands, but the current price for your package to be shipped internationally was $38, so a total of $200. The additional amount paid at the post office was for your country's taxes, something else that is out of our hands. You contacted me when the order was shipped, absolutely furious that you purchased the wrong bouquet. As much as we would love to, we haven't quite mastered mind reading. We ship what is ordered. The picture of your bouquet is identical to the one you ordered, aside from ordering a large and an XL being pictured. Please pay attention to what you purchase on your next attempt. Best wishes.
