I ordered flowers for Mother's Day on 5/10/12, but I received an email on 5/11/12 stating that the order could not be filled because there wasn't a florist in my recipient's area. In the same email I was offered a $10 coupon on a different order and told to call customer service if I had any questions. I chose to order flowers from another company instead. I noticed two weeks later that the charge from FTD (for flowers that did not exist) hadn't been removed from my credit card. I submitted an online inquiry, but I did not hear back within 24 hours (as their automatically generated email stated was their goal). So I called customer service.
I was told that the reason the refund hadn't been issued was because FTD had sent me an email stating that I needed to call customer service first. I'll reiterate that the email only offered a $10 coupon code and an invitation to call FTD if I had questions. I certainly assumed that since they couldn't fulfill my order, they wouldn't charge my card for these goods. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been paying close attention to my credit card statement. I am pretty annoyed that they would try to pull a stunt like this. It's the first and last time I'll do business with this company.
