Poor transport times and customer service: Placed same day order for V-Day flowers in early AM prior to start of delivery hours (9AM-8PM) & paid extra cost for same day shipping. Flowers didn't reach residence until 8 pm. This is a reoccurrence.

When I received the order it was totally crushed and damaged. The roses were broken off. There was spilled soil and broken leaves throughout the inside of the box. Additionally their delivery service left the box out in rainstorm.

I understand that it’s Valentine’s Day so I ordered my woman 2 dozen roses to be delivered yesterday. Still no flowers and they can’t even tell me how much longer. I live close to the coast in California and they chose a florist in Nevada! That’s the other side of the Rockies!!! I just need to know how much longer, Valentine’s Day is already a bust for me!

Worst experience ever. My husband ordered Valentine’s day flowers and chocolates. When they arrived they were dead and wilting. Most of the petals fell off before I could finish unwrapping them and they had forgotten the chocolates. We called customer service and spoke to a women who could barely speak English and kept pushing for us to have a redelivery when all we wanted was our money back. We will never be ordering from them again and will be letting our friends and family to never order from them either.

I ordered flowers three days in advance. They guaranteed delivery during normal work hours. I called the customer support number one hour before the end of normal work hours and was routed to their Philippines call center. The representative named Ivember had a difficult time speaking English and reading the customer cheat sheet. She kept saying that my order is being processed and it is in transit to my location. I explained to her it can’t be being processed and in transit at the same time. So which is it? She refused to answer so I requested to speak with her manager.
I could hear her manager telling her what to say to me. She gets back on the line and tells me her manager is busy with other customers and that my order is in transit. I said no it’s not because I am logged into my account and the status says being processed. It has been the same status since early that morning. So the manager informs her to place me on hold again. She returns after about five minutes and informs me that my order is being processed and will arrive before the end of working hours. Again I requested to speak to the manager, but she refused. I request that she cancel my order but again she refused. I will take legal action against the company. I give them a zero!

You know, the website shows a beautiful bouquet of roses in a beautiful vase. You pay extra for delivery and extra if you want it on Valentine’s Day. So, you go ahead and do it. Then your girl gets the flower delivered to her job, on Valentine’s Day, in a box! WTF? IN A BOX?!? From FedEx... ??? Um... It looks nothing like the picture, flowers and vase are in a box. You put it together. For damn near $100.00! IN A BOX!!! But come-the-**-on!! Please 1-800-Flowers put a picture of a BOX saying “this is what your girl's flowers will look like when she receives them.” Never again! This is false advertising!

Never use this company. I ordered flowers to be delivered to my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. I ordered the flowers in January, and was specific about the fact they were being delivered to a school and the school hours. They never made it to the school. They never contacted me or my girlfriend (both numbers had been provided). On my first call, I was told I couldn’t get a refund until I had received an e-mail confirmation of the missed delivery. I called back when I received a text from FedEx. They still didn’t want to refund my money and tried to get me to agree to delivery the next day at a 20% discount. I refused. They then tried to get me to agree to a 50% discount. I will never use this company again. In the future I’ll use ProFlowers or a local florist.

I ordered flowers on Feb 3 to be delivered at my wife’s office on Feb 14 Valentine's Day. Followed up today. It was supposedly tendered to FedEx on the 3rd and a tracking number was created.

I would never use 1-800-Flowers ever again. Their customer service is horrendous. First, I sent flowers to a convalescing friend and the item that arrived was totally wrong. Second: I sent an email through the 1-800 website to complain, and received no reply. Third: I waited until the next business day and called. I couldn’t understand the agent due to his heavy accent and asked to speak to a supervisor. Fourth: I spoke to an English speaking supervisor and he assured me that a replacement delivery would be sent and an apology call made to the recipient. NEITHER HAPPENED. Fifth: I waited two days and finally called again. I asked to speak to another Supervisor and was left on hold for 48 minutes before they disconnected me entirely.
Sixth: I called back and was told that every supervisor — every manager — was on a call. The second agent was quite insistent that she could help me, but I said I had no confidence that she could since the supervisor I spoke to days earlier wasn’t competent enough to do so. Seventh: I have now listened to their incessant music in the background for another 38 minutes as I go about my business. The only semi-positive note is that I was promised a $20 credit by email for my troubles, and I have received that. But who cares? I’m resolved to never use them again so this credit is worthless. Final: A supervisor finally gets on the phone and promises a redelivery and apology call to the recipient. I doubt either will occur.

I purchased 2 Groupons for use on Valentine's day. I ordered bouquets for both my mother and daughter to be delivered today. I spent approximately 40 minutes on the phone initially as the entire company has outsourced and no one speaks great English. But I understand. The girl who placed my order applied Groupon for $15.00 per order instead of $30.00. Overnight, I was charged an additional $154.00. I spent be hours on the phone to find someone who would reimburse me. Which I did, although I haven't received it yet. Today I received a call from them asking for my daughter's address again! Clarified it with them, just to be told that "same day delivery is not an option for the zip code". Funny, it was four days ago! Worse company ever!

Let me see... I paid a total of $74 for 12 chocolate covered strawberries to be sent to my wife on 2/14/2019. They charged me $20 for delivery because they guaranteed them there on the 14th. I called at approximately 1pm est and got a customer service rep that barely spoke English. This is America and English is the native language. They assured me they would be delivered by FEDEX at 3 pm EST. It is now 4 PM EST and she has received no delivery. HOW IS THAT FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION???
Stay away...they take your money. What a horrible place to get nothing when you should. This 8 PM Delivery is hidden in their Privacy Policy; most businesses are open until 5PM; but they have a disclaimer to ensure delivery by 8 PM??? Who is in most offices at 8 PM? Only Workaholics!!! It never mentions anywhere when you make the order, that delivery window is up to 8 PM...NOT WORTH 1 STAR, BUT THE RATING DOESNT ALLOW 0 OR MINUS STARS!

SCAM - do not use this service. You will overpay and receive a fraction of the quality of the product that they advertise in their photos on the website. I ordered the Extra Large Version that had 5 different flowers and baby's breath and berries... The delivery had 2 different flowers and looked more like a medium size... Their way of "making it right" with their "100% smile guarantee" was to give me a $20 credit for the "next" purchase. There won't be a next purchase. And $20 barely covers the delivery fee. I paid $75... Came here to leave a review and apparently it happens a lot. What a scam.

I ordered the Passion for Purple Two Dozen and Key to My Heart for delivery on 2/14/19. We received the roses and vase, however the silver key and heart set were not included. These items increased the price by $20 (before shipping) over the cost of the roses and vase alone. The reason I chose 1800 Flowers and specifically this item, is because the key and heart have special significance to my relationship with my wife, otherwise I would've simply ordered from a local florist.
My wife tried calling 1-800-Flowers to discuss a resolution (since I'm at work) and they said even though she's the delivery recipient, they can't discuss problems with the order with her, since I'm the one who ordered it. I went on the website and submitted a query using their online Customer Service Issues with my order form, and will be awaiting a response. I would prefer to receive ALL the items I ordered instead of a refund. I guess I should've read all the complaints online first before using 1800 Flowers. I won't be using their services again, since they obviously can't fulfill an order correctly.

I put an order in last week to be delivered on 2/13/19 and the product was not delivered. 1-800-Flowers stated that FedEx broke the vase and sent it back but did not inform me until I called them. They were supposed to send out another order today on 2/14/19 but when I checked my account it was no tracking number attached to it. So I called them back and they was informed that the arrangement would not be delivered on today either and offered me a $20 savings pass which pissed me off more because I didn’t call for a discount. I called to get my lady her flowers delivered and they offered me everything except getting her the flowers. I would have had a better chance at flying to town and delivering them myself.

First checked on phone to see where is the delivery. It stated "Order Received". Called twice to find out where is the order, is it with the third party store, on the trunk for delivery or just where is the order? The customer service has no idea. They will not provide the local store phone number or name so they can be contacted directly. Worst service ever. The customer service even told me, 'oh the local store called the recipient to say they're going to their place today'. Why would they even do that? It was suppose to be a surprise, do they do that with flowers too? Other social media will be advised to not use this service.

I ordered an arrangement of flowers, a balloon, and asked for simply “4321” placed on the delivery card. The flowers arrived, close to what they displayed, but no balloon nor card. When I requested (via email) the other items, they called me to confirm the delivery card message. They ended up delivering the balloon, but still no card. When I again sent an email, I received a response that I did not order a balloon and that the flowers were delivered. Another email from me, and a different customer service rep, Oh, we are sorry, we will gladly resend everything to my recipient today, a day later. When I sent yet another email questioning the resending a day later, I received yet another email from a different customer service rep stating the my “smile” had been delivered and they were complete with my complaint. This 1800Flowers is nothing but a HIGH Price rip-off that should be investigated and put out of business.

WISH I HAD READ THESE REVIEWS FIRST. Ordered roses for my daughter and girlfriend. No problem on ordering and delivery. The problems were the flowers and follow-up customer service. My daughter's roses were half-bloomed (closed) and bloomed, while my girlfriend's roses were wilted within 24 hours. Call to customer service was the day after delivery. First agent (broken English) offered 50% discount and gift card (like I would use this company again); I requested a full refund, and requested to speak to a supervisor--- placed on hold for 10 minutes ("engaged with another customer"- remember this); he returned and told me to email pictures of the roses (which I did within minutes) and to call back.
I called again, to speak with a second agent (broken English), who knew nothing about my prior call; I told her to review his notes, if any; she offered the same 50% refund and gift card; I asked to speak with a supervisor ("engaged with another customer"), then the supervisor was away, and was on hold for a total of 90 minutes. The supervisor (Ivy) finally spoke with me and stated that I did not need to send pictures and that she would need to talk to "some other people" to process a full refund and would call me back in 1 hour--- she offered a 50% discount with re-delivery, an 80% discount, and finally a 90% discount, and I demanded a full refund.
After not receiving a call from the supervisor, I called back and spoke with a third agent, Kenneth, and he offered a 50% refund, which I refused (back and forth on hold for 30 minutes); then he stated that I would receive a full refund within 24 hours (1-2 billing cycles on my credit card) (we'll see)--- I requested an email confirmation, which he said would be sent within 24 hours--- I will not hold my breath. WHAT A RUN-A-ROUND. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY--- do business with a local florist.

My boyfriend surprised me today for Valentine’s Day with what should have been a beautiful bouquet of 2 dozen roses. What I got was 2 dozen sad looking roses that looked like they came from a gas station. He spent a lot of $ on these and was looking forward to surprising me and making me feel special. Instead I had to say thank you for the sweet gesture, him apologizing to me for the disappointment when it clearly wasn’t his fault and me feeling bad that he felt bad. After reading all of the reviews, I see I’m not alone. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I will never use 1 800 Flowers again and strongly suggest no one else does either. What a shame.

Very polite, yet useless. As the title states, the service representatives were very polite, but they didn't help me at all. First of all, they accept your payment without verifying whether they can deliver to your area (I live in Canada, and they can't do business here apparently). When I called to cancel my order, they put in a REPLACEMENT order instead. I had to call back again to cancel both orders now, after having been charged for the first one. They assured me it would be refunded in 24-48 hours. 96 hours later, it still wasn't done. I had to call AGAIN to cancel it, and after speaking to a representative who told me to "hold for 3-5 minutes", I was placed on hold for 25 minutes, with no updates. I hung up and called back, and have now been told it is being processed. A week and 6 phone calls later, it may finally happen.

And to my surprise at that time, the flowers did not arrive, even though I had received an email confirmation that the flowers were in fact delivered at 1pm.

The guy offered me a $20 credit for the future purchases. I declined. Another flower arrangement was sent to replace the one that never came. That new arrangement arrived a day late as well. Fast forward one more year, February 2019, I was supposed to have another flower arrangement sent February 13th to the same address as last year. And to no surprise this time, the flowers did not arrive, a confirmation of delivery was sent to my email.
I called the company and spoke to another representative, which obviously English was a second language to him, and he repeated to me the order information which I have already told him I knew. And he offered a $20 credit again and a re-shipment of the arrangement.

I have used the same service in years past, so I am on their email mailing list. This year I decided to up my purchase for Valentine's for my wife. Being on their advanced mailing list for discounts I placed my Valentine's order weeks in advance in January with a scheduled delivery on or before February 12. Since I know this is a busy and hectic time for this business and deliveries can get delayed due to number of deliveries. So I am playing it super safe... On the 13th I call asking, "Where are the flowers?" I was told the product I selected was not available.
So they oversold the item or something although they took my money, and were not going to make good on their services without any notification to let customer know they dropped the ball? They could have been proactive and handled in many different ways, but let me hanging until I decided to asking what happened? They had my phone number and obviously my email but there was no communication to let me know my order was never going to make it. On my first call they offer a $20 site credit which I have no use for at this point. On second call I ask for a full refund, get placed on hold for over 15 minutes before realizing they are not coming back. 3rd phone call asking for refund, I was told I need to call back after February 16 to ask for a refund because their system policies do not allow the phone representatives to process refunds!!!

I just read through so many reviews that mirror my own that I don't really care to go step by step and relay what a shocking amount of individuals have already shared. The magic trick is multilayered. The language barrier is pure genius. When the customer screen resets without any indication of a message sent and there is no information on the order whilst logged in... You get to speak to someone who, as it plays out in real time is following a script. It took over ten minutes of slowly announcing my order number and having it read back to me incorrectly to establish the status of my order. I'm getting irritated again so I'll say in closing that I after the calls I checked my email constantly for the follow up on the call to rate the performance of the CSR. Of course nothing.

I ordered a flower bouquet, chocolate and a bear from this website for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. This was on their VALENTINE'S SALE. The order arrived two days early, which was whatever, however, it is not as it was shown on website when I ordered, actually ten times worse. I called, explained the situation and asked for a refund. I was given the runaround and told their "supervisor" is busy and I was number 3 to receive a callback. Almost 4 hours later, still nothing, so I access the chat to again ask for help/refund. The chat representative did not help me and said he could not pull up my order, and to refresh the chat and try again with a new representative. I did not do that. I called on the phone again, spoke to someone and asked for a supervisor.
This time I was told "the supervisor is up front helping a customer. We can have them call you back." I confronted her, told her no, that I would like to speak to someone. She put me on hold multiple times and after approx 30 min of waiting on hold, someone who spoke English and sounded American finally came on the phone as a supervisor. I again explained the situation and was offered a re-shipment. I declined and mentioned this was for Valentine's day, I've already made other arrangements/repurchased product (in person, won't do online for this kind of stuff anymore) and explained that a re-ship would not help me as this was date specific. The person then told me they would cancel the order and process a full refund.
I asked for some verification and he could not give me anything directly. He confirmed my email and states with 24-48 hours I would receive a confirmation email with refund. So we will see... Long story short, save yourself the hassle and don't order from this website, ever, especially as a gift. Despite the company's whole "100% smiles, no questions asked refund/exchange" slogan or whatever, THEY STILL GIVE THE RUNAROUND AND AREN'T VERY HELPFUL.

I will be out of town for Valentine's Day so I wanted to send flowers to my wife at her work. I ordered the flowers for delivery on February 10th to be delivered on the 14th. Due to unfortunate circumstances my wife is no longer working at the delivery site. I called on the 11th to change delivery location to my daughter's address 5 miles away. I talked to 3 different customer service representatives and all 3 refused to change delivery location... I could understand if it was less than 48 hours prior to delivery but 4 days? Will not waste my money here ever again...

Worst experience ever trying to order from 1-800-Flowers! Nobody speaks very good English and it always sounds like a birthday celebration in the background. They mess up my order and put you on hold forever and then disconnect the call so they don't have to deal with it. I spoke to a supervisor and he made it worse by duplicating my order charging me twice for the order. I had paid extra for it to be delivered on a certain day and they delivered it on the wrong day! Try explaining all this with someone who can't understand English! What a nightmare!

I placed a $70 order online for Valentine's Day 2/14/19. I received an email that said, without giving me an option, that the flowers would not be delivered until 2/19/19. I called the 1-800-Flowers number and hit the extension for existing orders. I got a recording that this line was only for new orders and immediately disconnected. I repeated the call, carefully chose the prompt for existing orders and again was hung up on. I went online and texted a customer service representative. They told me the order could not be cancelled. That it was already shipped. (I had ordered it only 2 hours before, the website stated it was not due to be shipped for another 5 days.) I asked for a manager, I was given another 800 service number to call. I called that 800 number and was told again that they could not cancel the order even though they had unilaterally changed the delivery date without consulting me.
I asked to talk to a manager. I was told to wait. Manager was not available. They told me they would call me back in 10 minutes. I waited thirty minutes and called back. They said they could not refund my $70. I asked to talk to a manager. They left and came back and said the manager is busy. I said I would wait. I was told that I would have to wait 13 hours to talk to a manager. I asked for the person's name, ID and their supervisor's name and ID and asked again to talk to a manager. They hung up. I am out $70, no flowers for Valentine's Day, no recourse to talk to the company, hung up on, lied to, essentially robbed.

I've read a few of the other complaints now and mine seems to be the same. I found out that my wife was not going to be at work so I needed to change the delivery address. I went online and found a form through customer service for making changes to your order. I entered all required info and the form simply resets. Did it again and again to no avail. Then I call. Customer service rep had terrible English, never asked me any info about the order. Just issuing a blanket denial of help. She stated that they will not change or cancel any order. All you can do, it seems, is dispute the charge with your bank. This feels like fraud to me. I wish there was help available.

I purchased prior to Valentine's flowers and they promised one bouquet and delivered a completely different mess. I called customer service and in his broken English all he could promise is a re-delivery after Valentine's or a refund. I took the refund that should make it to me 7-10 business days. I am so horribly disappointed in their bait-and-switch game. I will rate them on other mediums and show pics of the difference. They should not be allowed to do this to customers. The bouquet delivered looked like it was prepared by a two-year-old.

I placed an order in error, tried to correct it immediately, and was unable to do so because my order was "confirmed"!!! This is a terrible business practice. I will not be ordering again. Also, when the flowers arrived, they were so unbloomed that they looked like green twigs. I feel that this should have been included in the description if this was the way they were to be delivered so that I could have made the right choice for my needs.

Worst experience ever. Ordered online for 2/6 delivery. Flowers started to die the next day. Recipient called to report the poor quality and was promised another delivery. I got an email 2/8 saying they could not deliver!!! I called and was promised delivery on 2/12. I called on 2/12 and was told I could not get redelivery until 2/19!!! I asked for a full refund because I have wasted enough time trying to get a FRESH flower delivery in a timely manner. I did find out they contracted with a florist in New Jersey for a Pennsylvania residential delivery, which I thought was very odd! I guess they're after the cheapest guy around... It was a totally frustrating experience to try and call to resolve any issues, since their "customer service" agents clearly did not speak English as a first language.

Ordered flowers and a Teddy Bear for delivery between 9am and noon today. Paid extra to make sure they would be delivered within this time frame. Noon rolls around and they had not been delivered. Yet, I received an email at 8:58am saying they were delivered. I called 1800 Flowers to check the status of my order. After being on hold for 20 minutes I'm told the florist will contact me asap regarding my order and that 1800 Flowers can confirm my order was delivered at 11:42am. This was not correct. I ask a few questions to get a better idea of what's going on... No clear answers. Just that I would be getting an update soon by phone from the florist.
1:40pm rolls around and here they are delivering the flowers. Finally, I'm thinking, but happy that they are finally delivering the surprise I planned. Well, the flowers looked ok, nothing like the picture when purchasing, but worst of all the Teddy Bear is not with the flowers? I immediately call back to 1800 Flowers and explain the Teddy Bear wasn't delivered with the flowers, could they track the guy down and send him back before he gets too far away? On hold for 30 minutes... Lady gets back on the phone and said the florist will call me back soon.
I proceed to explain, "I paid for your advertised services. None in which happened." Late for the delivery time, forgot the Teddy Bear and no-one has called me to discuss this, why would they call me at this point? This is not my problem, I expect 1800 Flowers to make this right. I ask for a manager. I'm told, "We can offer you 30% off coupon" for the next order I make. I say, "Why would I ever use you guys ever again?" I've spent so much time on hold and feels like more work than what I'm paying them to do? I'm not interested in a coupon. I want the money I paid for the teddy bear and early delivery refunded.
They decline to do so. Saying they can't do that, "How about 40% off coupon for next time?" I say, "Maybe you don't understand... I need a manager please. I'll wait..." She then offers me 50% off! I say, "Perhaps you don't get what it's like to pay for something that isn't being provided, I'm not interested in your company or services EVER again! Send your best solution by email" and hung up.
Do you think the florist ever called me back? How about an email with their offers for the mistake? It's now 4:45 and the answer is NO. Teddy bear still not delivered and no one has tried to call me about this. I should have researched before using 1800 Flowers. Seems 85% of the people in this thread all had similar experiences in all 50 states! Absolutely unbelievable that they can get away with this like this and nothing is being done about it???
Do yourself the favor... go to ProFlowers! I had used them a few times in the past and they were absolutely the opposite of this experience. I tried 1800 flowers this time only because I couldn't remember my password to ProFlowers and googled flower delivery services rather than reset my password. That's what I get I suppose. Take CAUTION when ordering from 1800 Flowers! They are the most disorganized, time wasting, lying companies I've come across. Never ever again! Look at how many one star reviews are on this webpage! Holy **. I wish I would have seen this prior to ordering.

Not only did the flowers not arrive in time for the funeral, but when I called to request a refund, they bantered back and forth with me for about 30+ minutes. As the woman was about to give me the refund confirmation number, they somehow disconnected the line. When I called back, they bantered for another 15 minutes before telling me that it would take 1 hour to get the confirmation number and "someone" would call me back. 1 hour later, I called again and was told that it would take 24 hours to get the refund confirmation number. When I asked to speak with a Supervisor, they told me they were on another call and that I would have to call back. I insisted that I would wait to speak to the Supervisor, and here I am 20 minutes later, still waiting.

Got in touch through a text message and they said they cannot change the address because it has already been assigned to a shop. I said, "That’s fine. I would like to cancel my order." "No sorry. We can’t do that either!" So I have to try and dispute the charge through my credit card company. On top of that I then looked at other companies and they were all cheaper.

The business does not seem set up as a scam, but works the same way. Ordering is easy. The flowers are never delivered. If you call customer service, you get people who barely speak English that cant understand you. They say they will help you or fix the issue, and may promise refunds or coupons - you will not get that either.
At 9 am the next morning, I called to see why they were not delivered. I was told I'd get $20 off, and that the local shop had received too many orders and so could not fulfill the order, but would do so that day. I called at noon, and was told the florist did not have the flowers, and canceled the order from their end. I would be getting $20 coupon, and the delivery would be the 12th, due to the weekend.
At 10 am on the 12th I called, and they did not have my proper email, so did not send the coupons - I then provided my email address again. I was told the flowers would be delivered that day. At 130pm I called back, and was told the delivery would not be made that day, as no local florist had the flowers needed. I asked what email they had for me, and it turned out they still did not have my email address. I will continue the battle, but I no longer have high hopes. I will at least be able to inform VISA, the police and BBB.

I have contacted my bank and they are sending me a form to fill out for the fraud that was committed. They will then report 1-800-Flowers.com to the authorities.
I am also going to contact PayPal to report the fraud to them as well and to let them know my bank will be reporting 1-800-Flowers.com to the authorities. No doubt, PayPal will probably sever ties with them. Because I used a T-Mobile promotion to order flowers from them, T-Mobile will likely sever ties with them as well when I report to them what happened.

I suspect that Marie was reciting the script exactly as she was trained to do, and where the script left off she repeated my own comments back to me as if it was her own unique understanding of my issue.
"Ultimately, when I finally received a delivery confirmation text hours past the morning delivery I opted to pay extra for (and after I had to find the answer for myself), the automated "thanks for trusting us" message solidified the fact that I will never again spend money with your (dis)organization. If waving your corporation's hands at the responsibility to properly fulfill orders and services that have been pre-paid for is the standard response to a customer's trust, then best of luck in the future where customer service is as highly valued as the quality or convenience of the goods and services."

I don’t think I need to elaborate on this.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU. I ordered 2 arrangements for my sister's funeral. They deducted for the 2 arrangements together, Then deducted for each arrangement separately. They claimed they only saw one order in their system, not the duplicates. It wouldn't have been so bad if they acknowledged the error and corrected it. But they didn't. Now I have to file for unauthorized activity on my account. Meanwhile I am out of money. I had a problem once before with flowers that were supposed to be delivered before a funeral. They said they would send a note to be sure of delivery. I never saw the flowers. The florist said that if the order was placed after a certain hr, so they wouldn't have confirmed that delivery time. But now I know you can't trust them. Hope I don't have to file suit.

I ordered a $49.95 bunch of flowers for a sick friend and after I hit submit was shocked to see they tacked on another $30 for delivery fees, bringing the total up to $79.95 for a basic vase of flowers! I immediately called customer service to cancel the order and the rep offered to cut the price by 50% if I'd follow through with it. Despite this entire interaction taking place within 15 minutes from start to finish I was told it would take one to two billing cycles AKA (one to two months) for the refund to appear on my credit card statement, in other words beyond the deadline that I can dispute the charge. I will NEVER AGAIN use this SCAM COMPANY for anything in the future.

I ordered an arrangement online for my mother's birthday. A few hours later they called asking permission to substitute yellow roses as the florist was out of those. I agreed but with a 20% discount. They ultimately delivered an arrangement. My mom sent a picture and I nearly dropped my phone. They had substituted way more than the yellow roses and the arrangement looked like a five year old stuck cut flowers in a vase... I shouldn't even refer to it as an arrangement.
I informed that what was delivered for the price I paid was disgusting. They agreed at that time to a 50% discount. However, THEY REPOSSESSED THE FLOWERS!!! They arrived at my mother's house and asked back the flowers! I asked for 100% refund. They offered to only a redelivery and a $20 coupon which I told them they could keep as I would never conduct business with them again. They finally agreed to 100% discount as I now had no product from them. It has taken nearly a week, 6 calls, and I STILL don't have all of my money back. Please, put these idiots out of business!

Have to share my experience with 1-800-Flowers.com today. I hope no one else experiences their awful service. I would avoid using them at all costs! Today is Nana's 93rd birthday so we ordered a floral arrangement with a balloon to be delivered to her today. Around 10:30 am, I went on 1-800-Flowers.com website, selected same day delivery options, selected an arrangement, entered all the delivery and billing information, and placed my order.
While at a birthday party with Bailey this afternoon, I received a partial voicemail from 1-800-Flowers.com saying they were calling about my order, but the message cut off. Around 4:30 PM, I called 1-800-Flowers.com back and was told that they couldn't deliver the arrangement I had paid for because it was out of the florist's delivery area.
Not sure how that became my problem, I requested another florist complete my order. The customer service rep said it was past the 2pm deadline for delivery today, but they would deliver it tomorrow. I told them that was not what I paid for and that I wanted a refund. The customer service rep said to hold on a minute and he would check with the florist. He then said the florist would want more money to complete the delivery! Yep, you read that right! They WANTED MORE MONEY to complete the order I had already placed and paid for!! Furious at this point, I demanded a full refund again. The rep said he would process my refund. Fingers crossed I get the full refund. AVOID 1-800-FLOWERS.COM AT ALL COSTS! They will ask you to pay more money after you've paid for your order... Even when it was their mistake to begin with!!

I ordered *in advance* for a beautiful $100 bouquet of flowers to be delivered to my fiancée "during business hours". Well I guess it was my mistake for using 1800flowers because the flowers were shipped via FedEx and delivered AFTER the business closed. I prepared ahead of time to make sure I'm not doing a same day delivery or anything that would possibly screw this up.
Thank you for ruining my (and my fiancée's) Friday and the start of our weekend. They told me it will be shipped next business day (like it is going to arrive on time this time?), well next business day is Monday. What happens to flowers when they sit in a hot warehouse without water for 3 days (as it has already been 1 day without water in the back of a truck in hot Florida)? They are pandering to me like "oh it will be ok", no it won't. Do you think I want dead, dried out flowers delivered to a person I love?
I am beyond furious at them. Last time it was at least a local florist. I will only be ordering from a local florist who I can trust to get FRESH flowers there ON TIME. I will NEVER be ordering from them again and I would not recommend them to anyone unless you are delivering to a home and you know that person will be home all day. Yea, very specific. Don't order from them and waste your time/money. Hopefully I will be receiving a refund. If not I have the conversation recorded as well as all the evidence needed to dispute and win easily.

My husband ordered flowers for our anniversary to be delivered to my work. He spent $80 including delivery. I have never seen more pitiful flowers. I would have never asked how much he spent on a gift but when it arrived in such poor condition and only lasted 9 days I had to ask. I was a florist myself for several years in my college days and whoever made this arrangement had no idea what they were doing! The stems were cut too short so they were not in the water, there were 2 roses, 7 carnations (of which some were stems with no flower on, I believe they were chopping the carnations down to make them look like more flowers leaving a bud on each section of stem but these buds don't open if you know anything about flowers) and leaves in a vase I've seen at the dollar store! About $20 value by my estimate!
We tried to complain but got nowhere, now they just keep spamming my inbox with the same more information request email! I gave them all the information but they said as it's after 5 days. They will not stand by their product. It was a gift, who complains - so it was only after a few days I mentioned it to my husband and found out where he had ordered from. I sent them dated photos but they deny everything! Do not order for these clowns!

I ordered 2 succulent planters - reclaimed wood troughs with 5 small succulents each - for Christmas gifts. I had them sent to me as they were to be received a few days before I would see the recipients and I expected they would need some water. I also wanted to inspect them. The plants themselves were fine though dry as expected. The troughs were supposed to include a liner, which they did not. And one of them had a 2" chunk missing from the bottom with a nail fully exposed. The missing 'chunk" was not in the box, so it was clear that it was packaged for shipping in this condition.
I e-mailed the day of receipt asking for the damaged trough to be replaced and liners sent, assuming they were available as contained in the item description. A quick reply stated the order would be resent. I did gift one of the planters and held back on the other, damaged one. I waited 10 days (after New Years at that time) and e-mailed again looking for my re-order. I got a reply with a new scheduled date of delivery. Also got the $20 apology gift certificate. The new trough with an additional 5 small plants was received and of course, no liners. The new trough, while not missing a chunk as the original was, also had a nail fully exposed - this time on the inside. This will be covered by the pots inside, but really?? I complained not only about a missing chunk of wood but about a fully exposed nail and they sent me another with a fully exposed nail!! Is there no quality control?
I have since found what looks to be the same trough in the same reclaimed wood and with a liner (without plants) on another site and have ordered two. Assuming these are in better condition, one will go to the original recipient with the new plants and I will use the other for the original plants.

We ordered an arrangement to be delivered to the viewing of a deceased family member. It was to be delivered on 1/4/2019. We received an email showing delivery on 1/4/2019 @ 3:35 PM. We arrived at the funeral home at 4:50 PM and did not see our flowers. Along with the funeral director, we looked at every floral setting within the entire funeral home without finding our floral arrangement. There was only one viewing at the funeral home that day so it was impossible for it to have been delivered and misrouted.
The Addison Funeral Home has a flower sign-in log, which the funeral director and I reviewed together. At the time we first viewed the log sheet there one a SINGLE entry by Floral Concepts at 4:45 PM. I called 1-800-Flowers and described our problem. To their credit, they arranged to send the same flowers to the funeral at the Spring Church of Christ the next day (1/5/2019). I emphasized to them (at least five times during the phone call) that the funeral service was at 11:00 AM and the flowers had to arrive no later than 10:45 AM.
After my phone call to 1-800-Flowers and while I was still at the viewing at the Addison Funeral Home the funeral director walked up to me with our floral setting. The time on my watch when this happened was 6:03 PM. The funeral director related to me that he was in the “flower room” (a room they have specifically to receive flowers deliveries and where the flower sign-in log resides) when the Floral Concepts delivery person walked into the room (at 6:01 PM). He dropped off our floral setting and signed the log. He deliberately entered a fraudulent delivery time of “4:45 PM” to make it seem that our flowers were delivered simultaneously with another delivery he made at 4:45 PM. This was a knowing, willful lie.
The next day another flower arrangement was delivered to the Spring Church of Christ. The funeral service ran from 11:00 AM to 12:00 noon. The delivery, which was supposed to happen prior to the 11:00 AM funeral service, occurred at 12:11 PM i.e. 11 minutes AFTER the service concluded. 1-800-Flowers CONS: Deceptive delivery emails showing delivery when no delivery had occurred. Deceptive employees who enter false delivery times to hide their poor customer service. Poor customer service at the funeral home where our floral arrangement was not there during almost all of the viewing. Poor customer service due to missing delivery time at the funeral. 1-800-Flowers PROS: At least they attempted to right a wrong by making the second delivery the next day.

I sent email complaints to 1-800-Flowers customer service and received assurances that they would both be redelivered through a different local florist at no additional cost to me. I was initially quite pleased how quickly they responded and offered to make it right.
Several days later I got a call from a man with a thick Asian accent who I could barely understand. There were household noises in the background: kids playing and an appliance. I was advised that due to high volume, my arrangements could not be redelivered until after the New Year’s holiday, which was disappointing. I got 2 notices yesterday from 1-800-Flowers saying both arrangements had been redelivered. I called both of the intended recipients who advised that neither had received. I sent another email last night and got apologies and promises of redelivery for today, but nothing has been delivered. This has been far more trouble than it’s been worth. I would never use them again. Their word means nothing.

I ordered an expensive Christmas arrangement to send for a very special occasion one week in advance. The arrangement that was delivered 3 days before Christmas and looked absolutely NOTHING like what I ordered and was pretty ugly. The recipient of course sent a nice message with a photo of the arrangement. I was shocked to see how inferior it was to what I ordered and called to complain. They apologized and said they would resend the correct arrangement and it would be delivered Christmas Eve. I told the recipient that the flowers I ordered were actually much nicer and advised they would be redelivered on 12/24.
I received a confirmation from 1-800-Flowers.com claiming the replacement arrangement was delivered, except when I checked with the recipient, they said no flowers ever came. I called again and could not get through to a person and had to resolve by email. They called and tried to get me to accept a credit for a future purchase! I insisted I wanted the full refund, which they did give me. BUT...I was very disappointed in the original flowers! I felt like a liar saying new flowers would be delivered, when they never arrived and this was for a very important person and occasion. NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY.

I ordered a Christmas arrangement to be delivered on December 22. I ordered ahead of time, and the money was taken out of my account right away. A few days later I tried to check on the status of my order, but there was no order. Money was still pending. I called customer service and two hours later I had still not found anyone who spoke and understood English. Someone finally said the order didn't go through and the charges would be taken off my credit card in 3-5 business days. When the charges came off, I reordered, only to have the same experience. I was told they were having problems with the online ordering process, so I ordered by phone. Everything seemed fine, and the second charge came off.
On the 22nd I received a picture of the order delivered, and it was nothing like I ordered. I sent an email, and said the order was nothing like what I ordered, but did not request a second delivery. I then received an email saying they were sending a second arrangement and giving me a $20.00 certificate for my next order. The second embarrassing order was exactly like the first one they received. When I sent another email, I was told they would issue a refund of the full amount. The refund was made, and it was only half the amount. Another email, and the reply was that they were sorry for agreeing to a full refund, and that they were only refunding half the amount. Did not receive the $20.00 certificate either, but that's okay because I don't plan to order from them again.

Ordered flowers at the beginning of December 2018 for my parents' 60th anniversary and my mom's birthday. Both were on the same day. I ordered the flowers on a Monday, December 3rd and requested that they be delivered that Thursday. Should be plenty of time for the shipping and delivery. Flowers never showed up on Thursday. When I tracked them, it said that they were on the truck for delivery but it would not post an expected delivery time. Flowers never showed up. 1-800-Flowers offered to send new flowers the following Monday. Those flowers never showed up. Then they sent me a $20 coupon like I would really use them again. Mom called me yesterday, January 2nd, and said that the flowers finally showed up. Flowers were basically liquefied and the vase was shattered. Just one month late.

I placed A same day order. When it was delivered, it was not what I ordered, much smaller and the incorrect flowers. It was delivered to a hospital with a black bow on it. When I contacted customer service they said they would redeliver 5 days later. I have sent over 8 emails to customer service and they still have not sent the proper corrected arrangement. I feel that this company does not send with a promote and offer on the website. The entire process was very misleading. They should be allowed to get away with this. All consumers should know this is a terrible company. One note, customer service is on top of responding. The flowers and delivery do not match what they promise.

We went online to order an arrangement for our grandmother who was hospitalized due to an accident. We are on a strict budget but still wanted to send something as we live far away. Not only did the arrangement come in $10 higher than advertised, there was an additional $17 service charge tacked on AFTER checkout. Would never recommend this site. Ever!!

I ordered a large sympathy bouquet from the next day delivery section to be delivered to the home prior to the funeral. It was confirmed with a ten day lead time. I sent an email to correct the delivery date. Two days after it was to be delivered, I phoned the company and customer service could still not reach the florist who was to fill the order. It was obviously not delivered. I was on hold for 90 minutes and did not get the issue resolved. I placed another order directly with a local florist and then called customer service for a second time to cancel my order. They promptly did so with a two cycle credit to my card -- SIXTY days for a refund. Will never use this company again.

My YorkiePoo (Fred) had eye surgery and had just turned two. My daughter who is living in Germany (work) knew I was upset with his surgery and taking care of him was taking a toll on me and the holidays were approaching and I felt down and out. She called me and told me she had something special sent to me to arrive the next day.

It lasted three and a half weeks (with watering). It made my holiday one of the best. Thank you.

I tried to order flowers for my grandma’s 99th birthday. They won’t deliver them, because they can’t find a florist to deliver them to “AN AIR FORCE BASE.” My grandma does not live on an air force base. The address is correct. I’ve been a customer for years. This was always my cute go to for all occasions. I’ve never had an issue until now. I ordered the most expensive product I’ve ever bought and keep in mind I did same day delivery so I was charged for that as well. They did not call me. They did not leave a voicemail. I got only an email. I replied asking for someone to please contact me or just deliver the order. I was sent another generic email response about an air force base again. If I was there I would have picked up her favorite flowers myself.

I placed an order for flowers and a balloon for my mom's birthday and even paid extra for the order to be delivered on Sunday but the order never showed up. I called their customer service department after they left me a voicemail message and did not get an answer why the delivery was not made. They said they would call me back in 30 minutes and never did.
After waiting two hours I called them again and they gave me an excuse that the florist tried to make a delivery but that was a lie. The website did not show that the order was out for delivery and my mom has a Ring doorbell that cars driving in front of her house set off. Any attempted delivery to her front door would have alerted her on her phone and she never got an alert. This is the second and last time 1-800-Flowers has ruined a special day for someone I love. I have found them to be unreliable and dishonest in their dealings with me. Don't let them ruin your special someone's day like they did to me.

I order every year and paid for the expedited delivery for 5 addresses. 3 addresses received their items, however 2 of the locations did not receive their items until late the next day. I could have saved $3.99 for each of those if I had picked them to be delivered on 12/27. When I reached out the to company about refunding the expedited delivery for those 2 addresses they said they could not refund me the $3.99. So I paid $3.99 * 2 for regular delivery, when it should have cost me nothing and the company does not have customer service or care to fix it. I will not order again from them.

I have ordered flowers from them several times and every time it is a complete disaster. This was the last time. I ordered (3) sets of flowers to be delivered to (3) different addresses for the loss of a loved one. I specifically stated to the man on the phone they needed to be delivered in the early morning. Here I sit it is now 6:25 p.m. and (2) of the (3) orders still are not delivered. They act like it is no big deal "well we have until 8 p.m. to deliver and if it is not delivered by then, then you can call us back" that was the response I received. WTF... Our country needs to take the jobs away from these Indians on the phone. You call and can't understand a word they are saying.

I ordered the large $100 floral tabletop “tree” on 12/18 to be delivered on 12/22. After no delivery arrived I phoned customer service. I was told twice the flowers would definitely still be delivered on 12/22. By 9 pm I knew there was a breakdown. A new customer service agent claimed the florist was “not picking up” the phone. There was nothing she could do. By this time there could be no Sunday or holiday deliveries for the next two days and no one could locate my arrangement. On Dec 24 a box of greens and single carnations was delivered (recipients out for Christmas Eve). This was most embarrassing coming from a company I have dealt with for many years. I understand a busy holiday but there need to be communication! The arrangement was left to freeze and I was offered a 50% discount. Sorry 1-800. No more orders from me.

Then on Christmas Eve, I get an email to inform me that 1-800-Flowers unilaterally cancelled the re-delivery without communication or reason. After contacting customer service, the email I get essentially says “sorry you’re disappointed, but we look forward to serving you in the future”.

I ordered a Christmas arrangement on 12/20/2018 that was to be delivered on 12/22/18. It never happened. The florist contracted to deliver the flowers did not fulfill the order (the shop owner is someone I was told is named Ruby somewhere in the vicinity of Lawrenceburg/Frankfort KY). When I called on 12/24/2018 to inquire about the order I was told another florist would deliver the arrangement on Christmas (today). This morning I was informed via email that the arrangement I had ordered was not what would be delivered. The arrangement delivered was not at all what I ordered. It wasn't even a Christmas arrangement. This is not the first time something I ordered from them could not be delivered, but it will be the last.

I ordered what I thought would be a beautiful arrangement for Christmas for my Mother. I called her during the day to see to if she received the package and nothing had come in. By 6 pm that evening, I received an e-mail stating the flowers had been delivered. She never received anything. I was offered another arrangement (not the one I ordered) for delivery the day AFTER Christmas. How ridiculous.
I happened to go on Facebook and read after reviews of the product that other customers ordered (the Christmas tree flower arrangement) and the additional comments of others not receiving their order or coming in not at all as expected and how embarrassed others were for giving this gift. This gift was by far "reasonable" in price as I ordered a larger variety but was not at all what others expected and not received by my Mom at all.
I messaged the company and they continued to try to lure me in by giving me half off, $20.00 credit for my troubles, but I insisted it was the principle and they should keep their money but I would be expecting a FULL refund. I will wait to see if this is done or I will be contacting the BBB next. Just an altogether bad purchase experience with this company. I don't suggest anyone order from them.

I was told that this was an "annual passport" charge. I did not even know what that meant, but told her in no uncertain terms that this was NOT authorized, not wanted, nor asked for.
