Metz - what's your opinion ??

Have never dealt with Metz before but have recently been approached to start dealing with them. Thought I should come here and ask if anyone uses them and whats their honest opinion ?

We're quite happy with our current suppliers (use a mix of direct from Holland & local suppliers) but always like to use the best available.

Post Definitely top quality and long lasting.....

......but you do have to pay a bit more for it!

The shop I am working in has been with METZ for a long time and again and again METZ proved an excellent supplier....they also offer training workshops and event demonstrations..they are very professional and helpful...the only thing is that quality comes with a cost!!!! But it is always worth a try, isn't it???

Hi Rach

Just wondering if you have been affected by a rep changing from one supplier to Metz ? We had a visit by rep who we used to use for majority of our work who has become Metz rep, hence the question.

PS Rachel, will you be at the event at Greenmount on 29th Nov ?

we use metz, i think they are great.

If you choose carefully you can avoid the expensive stuff and get some bargains from the specials.

Quality is excellent.

No we go with her she is a very good friend of mine years ago the other shop I was in got from Metz loved the quality and yes some items are a little more expensive but then others were a little cheaper so it's swings and roundabouts What's on at Greenmount? Pm me the details please

Metz have always been very good with us any problems are sorted out right away, also being able to get very fresh flowers (not the left overs) in on a Friday works well for us. It also stops our main supplier bulls*£ting us that a flowers is not avaivable because if it is metz can get it

Pretty much agree with all the previous posts.

Very good to deal with, very helpful, great quality, and the price is not as high as lots of people seem to think.

We were put off using Metz for ages because we thought they were too expensive, but once we actually looked into it we found that wasn't the case.
