Do NOT use them! I ordered flowers and chocolates for my mother. They were suppose to be delivered the next day. They never showed up. I contacted customer service and was told they will arrive the next day. I was told a complete lie to cover their butts. They said the shop was closed and the delivery driver had already left for that day’s deliveries. The next afternoon I proceeded to check the status, nothing. No update. I was given another line of crap saying, I will call the shop and see what’s going on. They came back saying nobody answered their call. (Should have been a sign) then out of nowhere they get a call saying the order is on the way. If it’s not here by 8pm then please call. Oh boy did I call!

Customer service kept trying to give me discounts, refund my shipping, saying the orders can’t be cancelled and we will ensure delivery tomorrow. HECK NO!! I was given lie after lie and wasn’t going to deal with more. Also you can’t spell anyone’s name in customer service as they’re ALL foreign and don’t speak English very well. Had to ask for a manager who tried to get me to continue with my orders. NOPE! I wanted my $140 back. Do NOT do business with them! I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing! AVOID them. Go to Kroger, Walmart or somewhere else!! Not worth the aggravation of dealing with this company.

I recently purchased a sympathy fruit basket for a family. After viewing the details of the product, it stated the contents and the dimensions of the basket, (18"L x 12"W x 12"H). After a delayed delivery, I contacted Customer Service, and I received a photo of the item delivered. I notice the box was too small for its dimensions. I was embarrassed to call the family and asked them to check the contents and size. After comparing the web-site's list, it resulted that there were items missing, spoiled and the basket size was different, (14"L x 14"W x 4"H). I had to contact customer service several times that ended with no results. I then requested to speak with a supervisor. I was informed that a replacement basket will be sent with its original size and contents within 2 days. Again, same results of the basket size and missing contents.

I called again and was informed that another replacement will be shipped within several days, however the dimensions were different, (15.75"L x15.8"W x5.25"). When I asked why, I was told that the original order has these dimensions. I told them it was impossible. I have proof of the original order and a web-site printed copy of the dimensions. Lo and behold, the web changed the dimensions of the basket, but not before I was able to get the proof. For this I was offered a $20 gift card for future orders. News Flash... I won't be ordering from 1-800 Flowers.

Zero stars! I cannot recommend enough avoiding using 1-800-Flowers as a florist. I had purchased a beautiful looking bouquet for Bosses Day/Birthday to be delivered during a specific time frame, 10:00am-12:00pm, at our office. They did not arrive. I contacted customer service and they assured me that they were out for delivery and would arrive by 5pm, as is their policy for business deliveries. At 5:04pm, I received a confirmation email stating that the flowers had been delivered. They had not.

I contacted customer service a second time, with a response of, "We're so sorry, can we deliver tomorrow instead?" I proceed with that as a plan since it was a joint gift from our team and they again promised to deliver during 10:00am-12:00pm. Again, the mark is missed. I contact them for a third time, they assure that they are en route and will be there prior to 2:00pm. Again, no flowers and marked as delivered at 5:06pm, when they were not. I feel like this is beyond shady practices. Two times they claimed that the flowers were received! TWO TIMES! Had I not been following up, I would have been none the wiser and paid for a service that was never provided. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I have used 1800 Flowers a few times, and this will be the last. Every time the order is either late, the flowers are not as described, etc. The last order I placed was for chocolate covered strawberries. They tried to deliver to my company at 7:00pm - it is supposed to same day delivery. They wanted to give me $20.00 credit for another order, Why so you can screw it up again and they wanted to "attempt" to deliver it 2 days late but no guarantee it would be delivered before 3:00pm. I am done with them, I am going to call and delete my account with them.

I ordered a gift basket for my grandmother’s birthday and paid $30 extra postage to have it delivered two days later on her special day. A week after her birthday has come and gone, the item is still unshipped. The AI support system and email exchanges have all been thoroughly unhelpful. Awful customer service.

I have been a customer of 1800-Flowers for years and always satisfied with the easy online order process. I called to place an order on Sunday October 1st for 3 floral arrangements for my mother's Memorial Service on Sunday Oct 8th to be ready & delivered to Wanamaker & Carlough Funeral Home by 10am. The representative processed and sent me email confirmation. I then received a call 2 days later stating that the order was cancelled by one of your employees. I was put on hold for 40 minutes until the representative looked into why it was cancelled. No explanation was given as to why. I was also told that they could reorder but they could not find a florist to Accommodate all 3 arrangements. Back & forth on the phone for 45min. I finally asked for a supervisor (ANGELA) who tried to look into the cancellation and "IF" she could fulfill my order by OCT 8TH. 

It's hard enough having to grieve and make arrangements, but I NEVER thought that your company would cause such stress ordering a product. Your company is well known and you would think that ordering from such a reputable company would be easy & stress free. NOT THE CASE. After waiting another 20 minutes for a return call from Angela I was informed that she reordered my arrangements and that the delivery time & date is as I originally requested. I'm still worried that your company will NOT service my original order, date & time. I will not be using your company in the future. Shame on 1-800-Flowers. Your reputation in my opinion is below standard.

First the box was not marked, "This side up" so the one that delivered didn't know which way to have it so he put it up with the label on top which makes sense. When I gently opened the box the vase fell out. It landed on my foot or it would have landed on the floor and maybe chipped or broke. Then the flowers were not fresh at all and there weren't very many in there. I don't know what was ordered but there were very few flowers for the size of the vase. Then the chocolate covered strawberries the ice pack had completely melted and they started melting onto the box so the box was all sticky.

I used to use a different flower companies to order for Across the Nation but now whatever company you choose it all seems to go to 1-800 Flowers and I think they are not a good company anymore whoever took them over. I do not recommend them. I don't know if you order from your local florist if it ends up with the same flowers when they call across the country. I just feel like the product all around was a very poor quality and handled incorrectly I feel like the flowers the product was held up somewhere in a warehouse or a parked truck.

If 1-800-flowers.com does not provide shipping to a specific address, the site will change the address to one that they do deliver to without the customer knowing. I spent way too much money for a stranger to receive a gift meant for someone else. Please fix this problem, I see many reviews with the same issue and no response to them. Which makes sense when a company doesn't want to fix a problem. Also, I am aware that you are working on a new online moderator? You need someone to fix the inside or algorithm before the moderators can do their work properly. You also lacked a confirmation page during my experience (stealing). Maybe confirm before you send a product to an abandoned house.

AWFUL Online I ordered a beautiful cross for my family member's funeral along with a card. I paid over $200 for the flowers. When my mother saw the flowers she called me upset. I had another family member take a picture. Not only did the flowers look absolutely NOTHING like the pictures but 1-800 Flowers customer service told me they would refund the full amount but when I received the refund it was short $32.57. When I talked to Kristine (a customer service supervisor) she couldnt even see the original receipt so I wasted 35min on the phone waiting talk to someone incompetant. I had to go to the priority team and threaten to sue for emotional distress just for a the remaining $32.57! Ridiculous.

On September 5, 2023, I ordered flowers by phone from 1-800-Flowers to be delivered on September 7, 2023 to a funeral service on September 8, 2023 for a family member. The sales person said he would personally see to it that the flowers would be delivered (a disgraceful lie). During the funeral service I was sent a video of the service that showed all the flowers present but the flowers I ordered from 1-800-Flowers were not there.

I immediately called 1-800-Flowers to find out why the flowers were not delivered and was told “there is a note here that the florist would not deliver the flowers on the requested date”. They had no answer to my question “why didn’t you inform me of this so I could make alternate arrangements”? They also made no inclination to return my money. I had to specifically demand that they return my money to which they replied that it would take 10 business days and as if they were doing me a favor. These flowers were extremely important and this company’s lies and incompetence has caused great pain to my family. This “company” is a fraud and should be investigated.

Never trust them with important delivery of your order. They not only fail to deliver in the requested time frame, THEY CHEAT YOU by delivering the smallest size of the flower arrangement even if you pay for the Extra Large size. I ordered the Extra Large Heartfelt Tribute™ White Floor Basket Arrangement to be delivered to a funeral home. Added a note requesting that the flowers be delivered no later than 1pm. Based on their Product Details, the size of what I ordered was EXTRA LARGE MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 39"H X 42"L. Immediately after ordering the flowers online, called their Customer Service and emphasized that the delivery should be done before 1pm to the funeral home.

At 11am of the day of delivery I called their Customer Service and reminded them that the flowers should be delivered no later than 1pm to the funeral home. The Customer Service agent assured me that he would personally see to it that it is done. ON THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL THE FLOWERS WERE NOT DELIVERED.

I called their Customer Service at 3pm asking why the flowers were not delivered. They said they would be delivered by 8pm. When I told them that the funeral was over and nobody was there to receive the flowers, they offered to send the flowers within an hour. I repeated that the funeral was over and asked them to at least deliver the flowers to the deceased house. They rerouted the order but delivered THE SMALLEST SIZE! I feel cheated by 1800flowers.com and WILL NEVER USE THEM EVER AGAIN.

I am a Celebrations Passport member and order all my corporate gifts, family birthday and holiday gifts through Passport. I immediately thought to use them for my mom's funeral since I don't live in the same area as my parents and don't know a local florist. On 7/28 and 7/29. I ordered a total of 3 extra large funeral arrangements for my mother's funeral. They were to be delivered to the funeral home on 8/4. The website asked what time the funeral was, and I entered 10 AM. I correctly entered the name, address and phone number of the funeral home. The graveside service was 8/5 at 10 AM. The funeral home instructed me to have the flowers delivered the day before (8/4) so they could set them graveside early the day of the service.

I arrived at the Cemetery the day of her funeral to find no flowers. I looked on my account and see "delivery attempted at 6:44 pm 8/4, redelivery to be handled by local florist". I try to 'chat' with customer service, but had to abandon after 15 min because my mom's funeral started. After the service, I called the customer service number listed on the order. Since I placed the order through my passport account, I am told they can't help me, I need to be transferred to 1-800-Flowers.com. I waited on hold for 90 min before I elected the option to receive a callback. I never received a return call.

I called the next morning and spoke with a very apologetic customer service agent who said he was personally extending his apologies on behalf of the company. It turns out that the only local florist they have contracted in the vicinity of Grafton, MA (a suburb between both Worcester, MA and Boston, MA) notified them on 8/3 that they didn't have one of the flowers required for the arrangement. NO ONE called me. Not 1-800-Flowers.com or the local florist. I would have taken a comparable arrangement. Instead, I received nothing. My mother was buried without her funeral flowers from my immediate family, ones that I bought were from my father, my brother and I and the grandchildren.

I was issued a full refund, but, in a very difficult time, I had to contact them several times and I can never make up for the fact that my mother was buried without her flowers. I placed the order more than a week before the funeral, a luxury most people don't have. There is no excuse for not having contacted me or subjecting our grieving family to this.

I ordered flowers for my dad's viewing & funeral the next morning. The flowers, the Casket Cover & the Standing Spray were not delivered on time for the viewing at their scheduled time or the day of the viewing. They weren't delivered until the next day. They weren't there for the viewing, They arrived right before the Funeral the next day. They also didn't give me any of my Sympathy Ribbons that I purchased. The Funeral Home has cameras all around it, so as proof that they never tried to deliver them on the correct date or time. The name of the flower shop was Diamond Floral Design but ordered through 1-800-Flowers.

The frustration and disappointment with this company is unreal. The customer service constantly repeats the same phrases as scripted robots. Twice I have had the same problem. I thought I'd give them a second chance, but the convenience of ordering online is not worth the frustration and time spent responding to calls and emails that my order has a problem. First was a birthday for my elderly mother. Flowers failed to arrive and after 2 days I managed to get them replaced. Second and last chance I ordered sympathy flowers for same day. About an hour later I was called and said they couldn't do it but assured me they'd send it FedEx and get it there next day. I specifically discussed it was a sympathy arrangement and timing were imperative. I was assured it was understood.

At 11:47pm I received an email that there was another problem. The representative said, "We couldn't process in time to get it delivered," but assured me it was scheduled... But for 5 days from now. She said she could see in the notes my comments about the necessity for timely delivery. It took 4 phone calls just today (6 total) and 36 minutes on hold to finally speak to a supervisor. Surprise it was able to be delivered today.

I understand hiccups and mistakes that's why I gave them a second chance. However, it is beyond my comprehension how a company that's product is to deliver flowers for specific occasions thinks it's ok for them to arrive whenever even if it is well beyond the occasion. You can't get your money back, but you can get a coupon for the next time. WHAT....you think there will be a next time. No thanks keep the $20buck! Flower delivery is what the company is, but they can't seem to provide the service they offer. They truly failed to deliver figuratively and literally!

I ordered a twisted bamboo plant for a friend who just opened a new office. I thought this was very professional looking, low maintenance and not something that would take up much space. When the plant arrived, the box was opened and was full of ants. How disgusting and horrifying. Of course the recipient quickly closed up the box and discarded it. The ants could have infected the entire office. As the sender of this gift, I was shocked and embarrassed that this is what was sent.

While the recipient called 1-800 Flowers to let them know about this disaster and that she definitely did not want a replacement plant from them, 1-800 Flowers never contacted me to let me know about this situation.
