Never order from ProFlowers or their five other businesses! For Valentines Day, I ordered 15 tulips from ProFlowers (from me) and a small giraffe ring holder from Red Envelope, an affiliate business of ProFlowers, (from my kids) for my wife. I was promised delivery on Valentines Day by the end of business. I do not know about you but I think the end of business day is 6:00 PM. Well, not ProFlowers! They consider 8:00 PM the end of business day. We waited all day for the delivery. I wanted to have the flowers on the dining room table for our special Valentines dinner and have my kids give their mother their present after dinner.
Luckily, I got her some jewelry as well because the ProFlower delivery came at 7:54 PM. The beautiful display of 15 tulips they show on the Web site turned out to be 13 drooping dead and frozen buds. When I placed them in the vase, they looked like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree. The buds all hit the counter top because they drooped so much. We had already put our kids to bed (they are 2 and 5 years old) so we had to wake them up to see mom open her gift. The giraffe was as stated on the Web site, but what a disappointment. To wait all day and finally get the gifts at 8:00 PM on Valentines Day ruined a special occasion.
Luckily, I have an understanding wife who was happy with the effort if not the outcome. When I called the customer care line (that's a laugh), the operator tried to blame UPS for the ** up. When I reminded her that ProFlowers contracted UPS and chose that method of delivery (so it is ProFlowers' responsibility), she could do nothing but agree. I got my money back for the flowers and delivery of flowers but no discount was offered for the giraffe. I will never order anything from ProFlowers or their five other businesses: ProPlant, Red Envelope, Cherry Moon Farms, Shari's Berries and Personal Creations.com. I should have read the reviews before I ordered from them. Check out this Web site: **. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of these brands.
