I ordered flowers on-line for a birthday present. The flowers were ordered on July 24th to be delivered on July 25th. In the comment box I asked that they be delivered in the morning and to please call first. I do understand that it said on the website that they would try to accommedate my request, but I guess they couldn't. The flowers were not delivered and the florist left a message to call for deliverly.
When the person that I sent the flowers to called, a man ansered as was very rude he said, when ever we get a chance we will deliver them. She waited three days and no flowers. When she called back he was rude again, she asked who was sending the flowers to her and he would not and of course he would not tell her. She told him to cancel the flowers and he hung up on her once again. She then had her granddaughter call and she was hung up on also. After a couple of days, she finally called me and asked if I had sent her flowers, I told her I did and she told me what happened.
I called the telephone number on the website I ordered the flowers from, (bloomstoday)on Aug 1, 2007 and spoke to Kay, Kay said she would have someone call me back and of course no return call. Aug 2, 2007, I called again and went through the same recording and waited 4 minutes and finally Heather picked up, I gave her my order number and told her that I ordered flowers and they were not delivered, she asked me to hold on. I thought I was being put on hold, but I was transferred to a recording, so not only couldn't I tell my story, but heather didn't tell me she was transferring me. I went through the recording and pressed all the buttons to get my refund. I hung up very upset that I could not even tell someone my experence.
I received a telephone call about 10 minutes later from Robert saying that they got my request for a refund and it would be processed. I then said to him that I am upset about the way they handle their complaints, that you get a recording and press buttons and no one to tell your complaint to. He said I could give him the information if I wish, which I did, but he was not even concerned. I told him that the person I was sending the flowers to was an 84 year old women and did not need to be upset by this, when the purpose of the flowers was to make her happy. I was so uphappy with the way this whole thing happened and the company that I ordered from was not even concerned.
