    My son ordered flowers to be delivered to me on Saturday May 13th and when they were not even delivered by Sunday evening. He said he's check with 1-800-flowers. It's now Monday afternoon and no flowers. A customer service representative called from 1-800-Flowers and could barely speak English and so I confirmed the address with her (I live on a very well known street) and asked her what florist she was using as they should have no problem finding me and could call me on my cell phone if needed. She said they couldn't divulge the florist (I have since figured out they don't use local florists but just ship and hope I guess) which made me very suspicious.

    I'm going to advise my son (who works hard for an expense like this) to refuse the charge on his charge card as it's too late. If they ever arrive, they better look good or I'll be back online. But judging from what I've read here, this is just a company that exists to take business away from local companies and we are completely against that around here. We will not ever order from them again. Period.

    UPDATED ON 05/25/2017: I left a review (Chris of North Syracuse, NY) around may 15th and can hardly believe what has now taken place. First of all, I neglected to mention that they had told my son the flowers were delivered the Saturday before Mother's Day which was a complete lie. And they knew it. After he tried to cancel the order the following Tuesday, (we had given them all day Monday to deliver) they gave him all kinds of flack about discounts, promises and upgrades. Seriously, put that much effort into delivering in the first place and none of this would be necessary. When they pretty much refused to credit him, he said either credit him or he'll contest the charge - your choice.

    Then, get this, a week later on Monday May 22nd I got a call from them telling me the florist (which we know doesn't exist or they would have delivered them long ago) was "insisting" on delivering the flowers that day -- seriously? An entire week after mother's day? I'm sure they were just looking to get me to verbally approve it on the phone so they could charge me. I reiterated my son's request to cancel the charge or it would be contested and said he'd already replaced the flowers. The person continued babbling on and I had to just hang up on him... which I normally would never do to someone unless they JUST WON'T LISTEN TO ME.

    I agree with other posters that if I could give them negative or zero stars I would - I'm beginning to question how many people ever even get flowers from them. Around here, we support local businesses and farms so never will we do business with them again and will tell our experience to anyone we know. If I could

    give a negative 5 star rating to them, I would.

    Last Friday my husband ordered flowers for me for Mother's Day to arrive at my work before 5:00. He was guaranteed they would arrive to me before end of my workday at 5:00. This was supposed to be a surprise. My husband hadn't received a "thank you message" from me all day so he kept calling to check the status. He called 3 TIMES and was told they'd arrive by 5:00. By 5:10 I had to leave work to go pick up kids. I could no longer wait. He then told me the surprise.

    He called to get a refund because the surprise had been ruined. They REFUSED to give him a refund and said that the best they can do for him is have a new bouquet delivered to me the following Tuesday. So not only did they NOT deliver when they were suppose to, refused to give a refund, but also can't/WON'T even deliver the next business day. We will NEVER do business with this company again! We get that accidents happen and there was a reason delivery couldn't be made on time but as a business you have to work with people after the error occurs which they refused to do. DO NOT BUY FROM 1-800-FLOWERS!

    I ordered a plant from this company the Weds before Mother's Day for delivery on Fri 5/12 to ensure it arrived before Mother's Day. Sure enough, the product didn't arrive on Friday or Saturday, which was extremely disappointing to my Mom who thought I forgotten about her. When I called on Monday 5/15 to find out why it wasn't delivered, I called the company and the customer service rep told me that based on the volume of orders received they were not able to deliver the plant on time. After expressing my disappointment and condemnation for the company, they said it would be delivered today and I would receive 50% off of the original order. I'm glad I got the discount but would have rather had them delivered on time. I only went w/ this company since I was receiving bonus miles from Southwest.

    The irony here is that I had to order another arrangement on Fri 5/12 for my girlfriend and this company stated it couldn't deliver it on time. So I went w/ my tried and true online florist named Teleflora requesting same day delivery. They accepted my same day order but within an hour after taking the order they called and said they couldn't make the Fri same day delivery, but it would be there on Saturday. True to their word, the bouquet arrived Sat morning. If you read this review, go w/ Teleflora... you will be so glad you did.

    This is now the second time I have had a problem with this company. The first time was online with their website... I went through the entire process of ordering flowers for my 83-year-old mother's birthday and when I clicked the final "Send" button... Nothing happened. I assumed it went through but I was mistaken. So for Mother's Day today... I CALLED hoping that would work... But I couldn't have been more wrong. This time they took my order and charged me $84.41... But my mother never received the flowers AGAIN!!!

    When I called to attempt to rectify the problem... I was given the run around by 3 different representatives. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone mostly because only one of them spoke English. They made no attempt what-so-ever to make things right for THEIR mistake. The only thing that "Pope" could tell me was that he was fairly certain that I wouldn't be charged.... Despite the fact that the transaction was currently being processed by my bank. I tried to make it clear to him that I was more concerned about what they were going to do for my mother... And not the refund... But still nothing. TOTAL JACKASSES. Every one of them!!! Don't EVER make the same mistake I did!!! Stay far away from this company and WARN EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! 1-800-FLOWERS SUCKS!!!

    The worst service ever. I ordered flowers for Mother's Day. Paid a service charge and a second charge for delivery on May 14. I received a confirmation that promised delivery between 8am and 9pm. That long delivery window and late end point was bad enough but then they failed to deliver. When I called to ask where the flowers were the customer service agent simply apologized and said they had no vendor available. We live in the Washington DC suburbs. It is not like florists are a rarity here.

    Postscript: I asked to speak to the customer service representative to speak to my supervisor. She then hung up. I called back and was told that I could not speak to a supervisor because the prior agent had left the matter open and therefore only her supervisor could access it. As they would not identify anyone for me to talk to, refused to let me talk to any supervisor, and refused to give any identifying details (such as an ID number) other than the fact that they were in one of several call centers located in the Philippines, I am pretty much out of luck - though I will call VISA and ask them for a full refund and NEVER use this company again.

    I ordered flowers to be delivered on Mother's day. Spent over $150. When nothing arrived I called 1-800-Flowers to find out where my order was and was told they tried to deliver the day before and no one was home. We were home all day. Called back again and was told they would be delivered by 7 p.m. on Mother's Day. Nothing. Now 6:54 p.m. called again and was told that they were set to redeliver on Monday the day after Mother's Day. I will never use 1-800-Flowers or refer anyone I know to use this site ever again.

    When my son told me he was having flowers sent for me for Mother's Day I was so thankful for his thoughtfulness and I still am. I know that my son who is working extremely hard to make it in this world wanted to send me his live via Flowers that he knows I love. Aside from getting the runaround about changing the delivery day, the vase and flowers that were sent do come close to the portrayal the website shows. The bouquet contained 3 small yellow lilies, 2 small pink roses, and maybe 6-7 very small carnations, crammed in a clear vase with an unprofessional, very small straw bow.

    My son who I will always be thankful for was robbed. $49.99??? Seriously a crime what this company is doing. The bouquet I received looked as if it was purchased at a grocery store, no arranging, no flower packet, no care in how I know my son would have wanted it. How can companies like this stay in business?? It's terrible!!! Images are added. The first is what I got, the second is what the image of what they advertised as, and the third is another view of what I got. Shameful.

    I ordered my mom the 'purple perfection' flowers for Mother's Day because I thought they were gorgeous and her favorite color is lavender so I figured she would love them. I had to pay $24.98 in shipping for them to be delivered on Saturday. My mom sent me a picture when she received them. I was very disappointed. They were not as pictured on the website, there seemed to be less flowers, and some were wilted. I will definitely go with a local florist next year!

    I'd used 1800 Flowers before this. I had a bad experience, had to raise a little hell to get my refund but I did eventually get refunded, and while I was unsatisfied with the service, I didn't write a bad review because I did get a refund and I'm not the sort to do that kind of thing. This time was the last straw. I'd placed an order for Mother's Day flowers. The day of delivery I received two messages from 1 800 Flowers. The first an email at 7:15 a.m. PDT saying that my was being prepared to go, and the second two minutes later by phone, the message was that my order was being canceled because an overabundance of orders and could not be filled.

    This caused me to have to drop at work (it always happens inconveniently at work when your hands are tied) and try to find someone to deliver the day before Mother's day, so HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO... DO NOT USE 1 800 Flowers, Google the area of the recipient's, find local florist in that area, order locally, eliminate the ineffective and expensive middleman.

    I ordered flowers to be delivered by today 05/13/2017 and I get a email stating that it was delivered. Once I made a call to my mother to see if she like the flowers that were delivered I felt beyond stupid to know that she did not receive anything. I call 1-800-Flowers and I was told that it was delivered and I got an email confirmation stating that it was delivered and sign by a person that does not live at my mother's residence. Now 1-800-Flowers is trying to get in touch with that florist that deliver the flowers to the wrong address and nobody seems to answer the phone. So I guess I just send someone free Mother's Day flowers and balloons.

    Thank you very much 1-800-Flowers for you wonderful service especially with your customer service. How do you guys take someone's money and don't have a clue where the delivery goes to... And to top it, I was on the phone with their customer service and I'm having the time of my life trying to get a refund and have to argue to see if I can get one simply because they can't reach the florist they got to delivered my flowers to the wrong address and I'm being charged for it.

    1-800-Flowers has no business attempting advertising their performance. I ordered flowers five days in advance to be delivered PRIOR to a funeral. I talked to the Mortuary three hours after the funeral and still NO DELIVERY. The service associate could barely speak English and could not spell anything. I knew I had better call and confirm the info they had was correct. I was connected with a woman that I couldn't understand at all, I hung up. After verifying they had the correct info I was still uneasy, but this is a large business and we hoped for the best. I called them after the service to complain and was told "sorry". It's not the money ill-spent, but this loved one only has one funeral and this has ruined the memory for us. Needless to say, we will never call this 1-800 number again!!

I asked to speak to a manager and she lied and told me they didn't have one and I told her to stop lying to me and to connect me with one, then she tells me he's not available, so then I ask for his name and she refused to give that information out to me.

    I ordered flowers a week advance to be delivered BEFORE Mother's Day on May 14, 2017. I check today (May 12, 2017) to see if it's been delivered and the status is still pending. I call customer service and the person that helped me sounded like they were reading protocol because when I explained my situation I felt like I was put on hold. It's not hard, my problem is clear, don't take your sweet time. Of course, I'm not happy. This was a special gift and I was expecting the product I paid for to be delivered on the day that we agreed on. The result of my customer service is that they were able to guarantee me next day delivery (early morning) via local florists. The downside, it's a completely different product from what I paid for. Not only did they completely miss shipping my product, they can't even guarantee the exact same one for morning delivery next day. Since I have no other real choice, I agreed just to get it over with.

    Ten minutes later, I get another call from 1-800-FLOWERS customer service apologizing that they cannot guarantee my local delivery. I'm not going to even continue my rant/review because it makes my blood boil. This is the first time in my 20+ years ordering online that I had to write a terrible review for a company that I will never be doing business with again. Keep your stupid $10-$20 purchase off as a token of apology for not being able to fulfill the order. It's super insulting. You had almost two weeks advance to get this order right.

    Horrible experience with this company. I gave them a second chance as they screwed up a delivery last year.

    Placed an order with 1-800-Flowers. Checked my CC and saw that on the day of the order a pending charge appeared for the amount of the order. There were also two other charges from 1-800-Flowers for the amounts of $0.02 and $0.01. I assumed these other small charges were for some type of preauthorization. Checked my card the following day and saw that they AGAIN charged me for the order; both are still showing as pending. I called customer service and they informed me that the first one was for pre-authorization, the second charge was the actual order. So when placing an order you are essentially billed twice for the order holding those funds as pending. Had I used my debit card that would mean they would restrict use of twice the amount of funds that they should. This seems unethical and bad business practices. I will not use 1-800-Flowers for my future purchases.

    At 3:00pm I received an email stating the florist received my order and was preparing the arrangement for delivery. I immediately called 1-800-Flowers customer service (outsourced to another country) and was told since I didn't request a specific time this morning for delivery, the agent couldn't help me and essentially it was my fault for not providing a time. I thought selecting "Morning Delivery" from the drop down options online should have given them some idea that the delivery should have occurred in the morning and not later in the afternoon at the end of the viewing. I was told to call back if my arrangement did indeed miss the afternoon viewing.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold for 5 minutes. When the agent returned, I was told the supervisor was on the phone and had other calls waiting. I'm not surprised that there are multiple complaints coming in after I read the other reviews on the ConsumerAffairs website. I told the agent I wasn't going to call back and I would hold for the supervisor. The agent again put me on hold while the he said he would reach out to the local florist to find out why the order didn't go out as requested. After 8 minutes the agent came back on the line saying he couldn't get through to the local florist. I asked for the name of the florist so I could call and he refused to give it to me.

    People trust this company to assist us in reaching out to those friends and family members in times of loss. To be treated so callously and by extension to treat our loved ones with such disregard is shameful and not acceptable. Do not use this company. They are unreliable and provide no satisfaction when you complain. I didn't want to use them, to begin with, and I most certainly will never use them again. I will also warn everyone I know not to use them.

    I purchased a Groupon voucher for a fruit basket. After purchasing the basket of choice and paying I get an email telling me in very fine print that the basket will be delivered between 8am and 7pm. I don't have the time to sit on my butt waiting for this basket. I called the company up and got an overseas person with limited English person who could not help me. After waiting and waiting they return to the phone line and say it will be delivered before 7 pm. That was NO help at all. Never use them. Spend the same money on an Edible arrangement instead.

    How this company is still in business is beyond me. They are no better than online con artists by the way they take your money, maybe deliver your product; if they feel like it, and mysteriously never answer the phone or refund your money when they say they will. Word of advice, if your product is not delivered by the promised date, you are within your rights to dispute the charge as they didn't fulfill their contractual obligation (once they take your money, they have entered into a contract with you). If they get enough chargebacks, it sends a red flag to Visa/MC and their card acceptance privileges could be revoked. If they can't accept credit cards, then they can't do business.

I disputed and called the recipient on conference and it was verified the flowers were not received. They told me they reordered and still no flowers and no refund.

    I contacted customer service on Saturday 4/29 because I was unable to place my order and receive free shipping. I had paid to join the Celebrations Passport which I thought entitled me to free shipping for one year. When I spoke to the customer service representative he took all of the information and informed me that I would be credited for my shipping charge. On Wednesday 5/3 I received a phone call from a customer service representative because my order had not been sent because of an invalid address. I informed her of the correct information and she informed me that I would be charged only $19.99 and my order would still arrive to my friend on 5/4.

    On Monday 5/8 I see that I have not been charged for any flowers and thought it was strange that my friend never acknowledged receiving her gift. I then called in to customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor was busy and he was not able to talk to me. The customer service representative was very nice and informed me that I would not be charged the $19.99 for my order and that I would also receive an email with a voucher for $20.00 off a future order. I have yet to receive the email and my credit card has been charged $19.99.

    By the way the only way that this order ever got processed was because I did it online myself while on the phone with the representative. I did not and do not trust any of the customer representatives to do anything that they say they are going to do. Today 5/9 I called customer service again around 9:30 am E.S.T. and spoke to Charles. I informed him that I would like to speak with a supervisor and he checked to see if she was available. He said his supervisor Jalyn was not available and would call me back. It is now 12:10 pm E.S.T. and I have not received a call.

    I have always used 1-800-flowers in the past but am questioning my decision. Please respond and let me know why I am having these problems. I still have not received a call from Jalyn. I did get an email in response asking for additional information, name, email etc. I replied with, "Did you read my email?" No response to my original questions. Later today I received this response. "Your gift will soon be on its way! Our florists are hard at work preparing it, and will let us know as soon as it's ready to go out. Look out for a confirmation email from us. Thanks again for letting us deliver a smile for you." Still no answer to refund for my inconvenience or special offer that I was to receive by email. Do not place an order with them by phone. None of the information will be correct and order will never be filled.

    I ordered a flower arrangement through 1-800-Flowers. It was supposed to be an arrangement in a cute little teapot. I paid almost $80. The next day I received an email that the teapot wasn't available, but they would substitute another container. I called to cancel the order. The teapot was the whole reason I ordered that specific arrangement. As soon as I told the customer service representative (Shanniese) that I wanted to cancel my order, she HUNG UP ON ME. I immediately tried calling back and got an automated message that the call center was suddenly closed.

    I spent the next hour arguing with "May **" in chat, trying to get her to cancel my order. She obviously didn't speak English very well, and kept trying to get me to accept a partial refund or some alternative container for my flowers. I very clearly told her I wasn't interested in any substitutions SEVERAL times. I clearly told her at least 5 times to cancel my order and refund all of my money. I also had to prompt her to respond to me after every message. She finally told me that my cancellation was being processed and that I would have to wait 3-5 banking days for my refund. I paid with a credit card, so they should have been able to refund it immediately. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to see that money in 3-5 days. 1-800-Flowers is ROBBING people. I don't even know how they stay in business. I will never order from them again. If I could have rated them with zero stars I would have.

    I ordered a $75 bouquet for my daughter's birthday to be delivered to her work. It was supposed to contain a dozen roses and stargazer lilies. Fortunately I asked my daughter to send me a picture of what was delivered. She received 12 daisies! I called to complain, spoke with someone at a call center, and they will be delivering a replacement bouquet tomorrow. They also are going to give me a $20 coupon toward a future order. I seriously doubt I will ever use their service again!

    I asked for and was denied a refund which the call center blamed on the florist. If it was a local florist. I would not be so unhappy. But the flowers were sent FedEx so I suspect they came from either their own warehouse or a wholesaler. I would strongly advise that you request a photo of any flowers you send so they don't get away with this kind of scam.

    When 1-800-Flowers.com screws up you have only 7 days to get them to compensate or resend item. My mother lives hours away so for her birthday, easter and mother's day I've sent flowers. But these 3 times the items I've bought off their website shows numerous flowers on them yet once again item delivered is not what I purchased. At easter her roses had only one measly rose but because I didn't find out from her as it was a gift out of town and didn't contact within that 7 days THEY won't do anything and this is just how they roll. This last order I told them if it had less flowers than what was pictured what I paid for I wouldn't be ordering anything from them anymore and true to fashion it was supposed to have 8 flowers and the camillas I sent her early for mother's day only had 3 flowers on them.

    Ordering from these fools is like going to a burger joint. You see the picture you're ordering from the picture only. When the tray comes out you have no fries, drink or pie. You're not getting what you paid for at all and they're con artists.

    I ordered a flower arrangement for Easter to be delivered on Friday April 14. The same day I placed the order I was contacted by a 1-800-Flowers rep informing me that the arrangement that I had ordered was not available and was offered another arrangement - tulips with a box of candy. Since I did not want tulips, and the recipient can not have candy - I asked for a spring bouquet. The rep said that would be no problem and they would be delivered on FRIDAY APRIL 14. I kept checking the site to track the delivery all day and well past the 8 PM cut off for the day's delivery - no confirmation that the flowers were delivered. Contacted the intended recipient had not received any flowers.

    Then I contacted the customer service # and was told that the flowers were scheduled for deliver on 4/18/2017!!! I said that was not acceptable and that I expected that flowers would be delivered then on Saturday April 15, 2017. The rep then told me that would be impossible as there were no florists that would deliver to the recipient's address. Strange - as I have had flowers delivered to that address in the past. The rep said that there was nothing that could be done and the flowers would be delivered on the 18th. and that there was nothing more that could be done. I demanded to speak to a supervisor.

    After a long time - and being able to hear their conversation - a young woman took the line and identified herself as a supervisor and tried to convince me that I had agreed to the delivery date of April 18th when I agreed to the arrangement substitution. I told her that there was no mention of the change of delivery date. The supervisor then went on to explain that there was no florist in the area that would deliver to that address and the flowers were being delivered by FEDEX!!!

    I then told her that was unacceptable and that I was canceling the order. The supervisor then said that was impossible. I told her that not only was it possible - but would be done and that I would be given a FULL refund. She said that she could not do that - I told her that she would and if not I would immediately contact my credit card company and have the charge disputed. She then said that she would process the refund and it would show up in 3 to 7 business days! I will be checking on that as other reviewers have stated that the refunds never materialize.

    As to the claim that there is "no florist in that area." that will deliver to that area - I checked with local florists and indeed they will - here is the catch - none are in the 1-800-Flowers network, so there is no florist that will work with them - that speaks volumes as to this company's ability to provide local florist delivery. In short, Terrible service, misleading website (when the zip code is put in there should be a notice that no local florist delivery is available), and poor customer service. If I could give less than one star I would give it a minus 5 (-5).

When the basket was finally arrived, it contained store brand (Kroger) items, no name chocolate chip cookies and a bag of Werther's Original hard candies with some various candy bars. I could have put together that basket myself for less than $20.00. The tissue paper used looked like it had been recycled from another basket and the names on the card were misspelled...

    I called and let the company know that it was not going to be given to the recipient because I was too embarrassed to deliver it to her. I was told after several minutes of my time explaining why the basket was completely substandard and NOT worth the $90 I paid for it, that I would receive a 50% refund and a $20.00 coupon to use at one of their websites. Totally unbelievable that this company is still in business. 1800Flowers takes a huge percentage of the money paid to them leaving the actual vendor fulfilling the order with next to nothing to spend on the actual product.

    I have had the best service using 1800flowers. They have delivered my best expectations! Flowers ordered they make it delivered always in a day or when requested. Flowers are gorgeous and containers or vases makes it more of a plus. I've only had to contact customer services once and it was a very pleasant person and resolved the matter quickly.

    My daughter ordered flowers from 1-800-Flowers for my 60th birthday which, first of all, did NOT arrive on my birthday but 4 days late! When the flowers arrived, the bouquet was left in my driveway, in 10 degree weather, in the middle of the night. As a result, the flowers were dead and the water was frozen! Even the note with the flowers was just a piece of crumpled paper. Since the flowers weren't delivered on my birthday, my daughter tried cancelling the order several times and all she got was a "run around" from Customer Service. Of course, once she insisted on a refund, which they said they would do but never did, they then left the dead flowers in my driveway. BAD company and TERRIBLE customer service.

    I will never use this crappy company again!!! I placed a flower order last Wednesday for delivery on Saturday via YOUR website for my "very hard to please" mother-in-laws' birthday flowers. You call me at Noon on the delivery date (Saturday) to tell me the florist YOU chose is not open on Saturdays. Well, whose fault is that!!?? So after I blast you, you give me a shipping refund and assure me they will be delivered on Monday. Well guess what? It's Tuesday and they still haven't been delivered! So, I call you again and blast you. This time you state the florist is having a difficult time getting everything for the arrangement I chose from your website. It's your website, and you choose the florist but you can't make the arrangement you sell!? So, I rudely state "I don't give a crap, but you better send her something by tomorrow or I'm cancelling this $100 order right now."

    Well, now they've assured me once again that she will receive an order tomorrow (different arrangement) and they will refund me 50%. What about the pain and suffering I'm going through!!??? Who's going to pay me back for that!!??? Because my mother-in-law has texted me wanting to know where her gift is after being told it would be there yesterday. If the flowers do not get delivered tomorrow, I am cancelling the order and disputing the charge on my credit card!

    On Feb. 28 I received flowers (tulips) from your company from my boyfriend. By March 6th they were limp and the petals falling off some dead. My boyfriend called customer service and very nice guy sent a 2nd order out. I received them Wednesday March 8th. Today March 11th, I wake up to again limp dying tulips. I am so disappointed to say the least. I followed the directions on the box and I believe that your vase is not big enough to hold the tulips. It needs to be wider and taller. He said never again will he order from your company. I can get a nice piece of jewelry for the cost of the flowers that died in less than a week.

    My order never got delivered to my grandmother for her birthday today. This whole situation started at 10 am this morning. The first excuse was that my credit card didn't go thru but it did and I had to prove that it did. Then an hour later they said the florist unexpectedly closed early today but they found another one and it would be delivered. So around 6 pm it still hadn't been delivered so I called 1-800-Flowers and they tell me the second place couldn't deliver it and there was nothing they could do.

    They guaranteed they would be delivered today or I would a complete refund. So when I talked to the supervisor all they could do is offer me a $20 voucher and they would call my grandmother and apologize to her... wtf... really who does this... Call my grandmother. At the end of the phone call he tried to tell me he could only refund 50% of my money... again. Wtf... and that it was for some fee. I finally got him to tell me I would get refunded the full amount. Never again will I order from them again.

After several e-mails they agreed to a full refund of $173.75 which they said would take up to 5 days to complete. That was over a week ago on 2-22 with still no resolution.

    In less than 2 weeks I've been disappointed twice by 1-800-Flowers. On Valentine's Day they did not deliver the bouquet I ordered. When I called to check what had happened they confirmed it was never delivered and asked if I could give them a chance to deliver the next day. I agreed. Big mistake. The bouquet was never delivered. They issued me a refund.

    Yesterday I decided to give them another shot and ordered a Victorian Romance bouquet. There were 3 sizes available (and pictured) on their website. The small one contained 12 roses, medium 18 roses, and large 24 roses. I paid for the large ($99+Delivery+Next Day Fee+Tax). The bouquet was delivered today and looked nothing like what I ordered. There were only 12 roses (not 24), and it really didn't look like what I ordered (more like a bunch of leaves placed in a vase with a few roses in it).

    I called 1-800-Flowers and spoke with one of their reps, who confirmed it should've contained more roses. She put me on a brief hold while she contacted the flower vendor. After about 5 minutes on hold she told me she spoke with both the manager and flower arranger at the flower shop, who confirmed only 12 roses were included in the arrangement (not 24). Surprisingly the 1-800-Flowers rep said there was nothing she could do and would bring up the issue to her manager. The issue is still unresolved. Do not order flowers from 1-800-Flowers. TERRIBLE QUALITY AND SERVICE.

    Don't believe the Photos that are posted. I received a gift that was all box and container. Yes, there were 4 sunflowers as pictured, however the sizes in comparison to the photo were miniatures. The bright pink fill flower was replaced with broken purple statice. There was about 1/3 of the fill shown in the photo. All stems, compressed measured 1.25 inches. So, part of a bouquet was sent. It is very disturbing to have to let my sister know that what she so carefully selected as a gift did not arrive. I have a background in floral so I feel qualified to write and share this review.

    I ordered a flower arrangement for my daughter's birthday on Feb. 23 to be delivered on Sat., Feb. 25. By 4:30 pm that day the flowers had not been delivered, so I called 1800flowers. The rep assured me that the flowers would be delivered by 8 pm stating, "If we haven't heard from the co. that they are not being delivered we have to assume that they are," meaning she didn't actually look into the situation.

    By 8 pm they were not delivered so I called back only to find out that they were not delivered because there is "no florist in that area." Well it's Athens, GA and there are about 12 florists in that area, so I assume that means 1800flowers has no contract with a florist there. Then why when the first thing you put in to the order is the delivery ZIP does the order become generated and accepted with email confirmation? Big problem with their website I assume.

    My daughter lives 500 miles away. It was her 21st b'day and the next day was Sunday so... no flowers for my daughter and no compensation offered other than my refund which, of course, they have to do. Did receive an email with a 20% off discount on my next order, but that is useless, as I will certainly never order again from them. Also asked to speak to a supervisor who never did call me. I had to call them back myself. Again, all I received from the supervisor was an apology, no real explanation. Terrible service, website and customer service.

    I recently purchased the Floral Embrace - Medium for my mother's birthday along with a Mylar Happy Birthday balloon. The description of the arrangement: hot pink roses, orange Asiatic lilies, medium sunflowers, lavender stock, orange alstroemeria, and ethos poms. What was delivered looked nothing like what had been ordered. There is a disclaimer on their site stating, "so colors, varieties and basket may vary due to local availability." Almost every flower (90%) and even the balloon had been substituted.

    I was told by an agent on the chat line the consumer would be contacted, if substitutions would be required and I did NOT receive any communication regarding it. I was also told my mother would have another bouquet sent to replace the one she had recently received. This is day 3 and my mother has yet to receive her replacement flowers. I paid $60 for those flowers/balloon. I don't know if the florists are automatically substituting cheaper flowers and pocketing the difference or subpar and don't have the necessary flowers to complete the order in which case they shouldn't take the order & perhaps close the shop.

    Do NOT ever use this bogus company! Absolutely incompetent & staffed by a pack of professional liars! I ordered a child-appropriate Valentine's arrangement for my 5-year-old granddaughter in another state, placing the order 2 days early. At 8 pm on Valentine's evening, I called to speak with her before bedtime. When I asked how she liked her flowers, she looked blank & asked me "What flowers? Lala, you didn't get me anything." My heart sank! I immediately dialed 1-800-Flowers & waited 58 minutes for a service rep. After explaining the situation, I was put on hold; the rep came back & cheerfully announced they were on the truck & would be delivered by 7:30 pm. I pointed out that was highly unlikely since it was already 9:07 pm. "Well, not in the delivery time zone," came the reply.

    I quickly explained we lived in different states but the same time zone: it was after 9 pm in the Central Time Zone, period. Back on hold I went. After about 10 minutes, the rep came back & told me the flowers had actually been delivered at 4:30 pm & signed for by Mrs. Lillian (**). Enraged, I pointed out my grandchild was barely 5 & couldn't have written that, was still quite single at her age, & was certainly not old enough to be answering doors & signing for deliveries - not to mention no one was even at their house till 5:15 pm. On hold again. She came back again, this time guaranteeing me my grandbaby's flowers would be delivered the next morning, & that she would personally call my daughter-in-law & explain 1-800-Flowers was to blame for the error. She also told me she had just finished issuing me a token apology refund of $20.

    Only they weren't and she didn't! Valentine's was Tuesday; it is now the following Friday and I have just hung up from 1800-Flowers demanding a refund. No flowers were delivered on Tuesday as ordered; no flowers on Wednesday, no flowers on Thursday, & none Friday morning. And that phone call explaining to my daughter-in-law that it was their error? Surprise, that never happened either. And her $20 credit? Completely bogus as well. I was charged $91.18 for a non-existent flower delivery!!!

    Supposedly, I will now receive a full refund in 5-7 business days. I'm not holding my breath. When I asked today's service rep what on earth happened, he stuttered & sputtered around and said, "well, sometimes we just get too busy." Bottom line, this is the most disreputable, dishonest, incompetent, & useless organization I have ever tried to do business with. STAY AWAY from 1-800-Flowers.com!!

Not sure other than massive advertising how they can stay in business when there are so many complaints about quality and customer service. I received flowers described as "long-lasting" that were dead in one day. Customer service continually put me on hold to wear me down. After many unsatisfactory offers I spoke with a supervisor who said he could only offer a refund to the individual who ordered them. He called and the process started all over again with a customer service rep offering credits and partial refunds. A supervisor finally spoke to him and indicated that I had lied and that they could not do a full refund. So he accepted a partial refund.

    I called back and was told that he would get his full refund, was put on hold again and then disconnected. I called back a third time to finally speak with another supervisor. Eventually I was told that since the actual customer had accepted the partial refund there was nothing they could do for me. It is quite apparent they have trained the customer service representative with these techniques so they do not have to provide refunds for unsatisfactory products. We are both busy working people and this took an hour and a half of my time as well as his time.

    I ordered same day delivery for (2) Valentine's Day, (2/14/2017) floral arrangements. Guaranteed to be delivered that day. Received confirmation of delivery (8:08pm), but when I didn't hear anything from my mother or my aunt regarding the flowers I called them. Now it's about 9:30 pm. They never received anything. I called 1-800-flowers. First they couldn't find my order number and when they did they were telling me that they were delivered. I said, "No they weren't." I also said I don't know where they delivered them to, but they didn't deliver to my mother or my aunt. The lady apologized and put in a redelivery for the next day, (2/15/2017).

    On 2/15/2017 my aunt received her delivery around 7:50 pm my mother still hasn't received anything. At 8:30 pm I called them again to tell them that my mother still hadn't received her flowers and once again they're telling me, "Yes, she did because she signed for them." I told them that the signature must be my aunt's because my mother hadn't received her flowers. And she was home both days and didn't go anywhere because my stepfather was ill. The lady then put me on hold and when she came back she said that they were still out for delivery and she should be getting them soon. Once again I had to call them. This time it was 10:30 pm to let them know that they weren't delivered. The lady who answered this time told me what the previous lady told me on the phone that my mother signed for them. Once again I had to explain that it wasn't my mother's signature, but my aunt's who received her flowers earlier.

    Finally, I was asked. "Well what do you want me to do?" I said refund me my money. The lady said ok plus a savings pass of $20. I had at one point asked to speak to someone in the U.S., but was told that they couldn't connect me that I would have to call back, but no guarantee that I would be connected to someone in the U.S.

    1-800-flowers needs to stop outsourcing work and hire within the U.S. because the language barrier is ridiculous. They also need to work more closely with or know something more about the florists that they choose to work with & monitor them. Your association with florists like the ones chosen for my orders will be the demise of this company.

    I ordered a flower arrangement and a box of chocolate from 1800flowers on behalf of my father for my mother for Valentine’s Day. I paid extra so that the flower arrangement and the box of chocolate may be delivered on Valentine’s Day. The flower arrangement nor the box of chocolate were delivered on Valentine’s Day. When I called customer service on February 15th, the representative stated that they did not know why the delivery wasn’t successful but that they would make the delivery for the 15th. For my inconvenience, they would refund $65 to my credit card.

    Today is February 16, and the delivery hasn’t been made. I called back and the representative hung up the phone on me when I asked to speak to a supervisor, I believe her name was Christine. I called again and the other representative refused to give me a refund and stated that there were no supervisors present but she would have someone call me back. I still haven't received a call back from 1800flowers. I will never use this company again and I will make sure that anyone that I know will never use them again either. This has made my father look bad because today is the 16th of February and still no flowers nor chocolate.

    My husband went to 1800Flowers.com and lovingly ordered me a bouquet of stargazer Lilies (what I carried in our wedding) along with chocolates for Valentine's Day. They charged him their standard shipping, plus a $7.99 Valentine's Day delivery surcharge. The bouquet was a total of $64.58. My flowers arrived jammed into a box and not arranged at all. As I removed them from the zip ties and plastic, I was incredibly disappointed to see that my flowers were wilting, limp, and severely damaged. The greenery that accompanied them was bug eaten! The Lilies weren't even stargazers... They were just white. (Stargazers should be a vibrant pink with dark pink to black dots).

    When I contacted customer service, they simply replied, "Our Lilies come in bud form and will bloom in 1-3 days". I responded that bud form would be ok, however wilted and limp is not. I then provided them with several photos. Their response this time was "What can we do to make this right?" I replied, "A refund would be nice". They replied that "No changes, cancels, or refunds can be done at this time, please contact us at a later date". I asked them if there was nothing that could be done, why did they bother asking how they could make it right? This went back and forth until I was offered a 30% discount and a $20 savings pass. I declined. Then I was offered a 50% refund and a $20 savings pass for my next order.

    As my husband had used PayPal to pay, I filed a claim with PayPal under "food or plants delivered in damaged condition". Only after I filed the claim did 1800Flowers contact me to offer a refund. I will give them 1 star for refunding me, but if you're looking for quality flowers and a gift that says "I love you", don't look here. The flowers are still limp and sad, even after I cut the stems, arranged them and gave them the provided plant food. You're so much better off going through your local florist. For $65, they can deliver an enormous bouquet, professionally and lovingly arranged, with that special touch.

    If you're paying $65 for 8 Lilies, you shouldn't have to remove them from a box, held by zip ties, and arrange them yourself! Imagine if you were sending a bouquet to your loving granny, and she received that! Wouldn't you rather her open the door to a polite florist delivery, huge arrangement in hand and a nice smile? What was supposed to be a loving and thoughtful gesture from my husband (who is typically not a romantic man) turned into me assuring him that the thought and his sweet card meant more to me than the flowers. He felt so terrible, it really put a damper on the whole day.

    The flowers were delivered the day AFTER Valentine's Day, even when I paid extra to get them ON Valentine's Day. When I called to cancel my order on Valentine's Day, I was told my order was "on its way" and they were unable to cancel the order until after delivery. My wife received a phone call at 6:48pm CST asking how she liked the flowers that she never received. The representative seemed confused and the call was ended after my wife requested to speak to a supervisor 3 separate times during the phone call.

    When my wife went to work today, 2/15, there were no flowers. The flowers, again, were not delivered until 2/15 after 3pm, after she had already left work for the day. When I called to demand a FULL refund, I was offered 3 separate offers ($14.99 back, half my money back, then a $50 gift certificate) BEFORE the representative finally agreed to my full refund. Considering how the entire process nearly ruined Valentine's Day for my wife and myself, I will not be a return customer.

    Day One: Spent a $100 online for a bouquet of flowers to be guaranteed delivered on Valentine's Day. Later in the day I received an email saying it was delivered. However the person I sent them to never got it. Called customer service and spent one hour waiting on the phone to be told me will attempt re-delivery the next day and I will also receive a $20 gift certificate by email. Day Two: 4 PM - No email, no delivery still. I spend another 40 minutes on the phone with the offshore, basic-English speaking customer service rep, only to be told that the order was delivered the previous day and it was signed by the recipient. When I asked to be sent the proof of delivery and a picture of the signature, the rep started mumbling, saying that delivery was now somehow REFUSED because it was too late at night (7.50PM) - even though 1800 FLOWERS states that deliveries happen until 8 PM.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor, and I was told the supervisor is busy. I said I would wait, and I waited another 10 minutes, after which the same person came on the phone slowly mumbling things and "checking my account" and saying that the flowers would be re-delivered today. I asked for money off and was told I would now get another email with $50 off. It is now 9 PM and the flowers still haven't been delivered.

    This company is literally the worst place to go through for flowers! Not only do they show up late, but they don't keep their promises on making it up for the wilted flowers. But when you call back to ask them a question, they hang up on you after being on hold for 20 minutes... Literally the worst experience when it comes to ordering flowers. I highly suggest to anybody that they go through local companies, instead of 1-800 Flowers at least you're supporting a small business rather than a crappie Corporation. My husband was told to make up for the delivery not being sent in time (even though he ordered in enough time to get them for Valentine's day) that you guys would have a "local florist" from "my town" send over a display. Nothing ever came... So when he called to find out what was going on with the local display, he was put on hold for 20 minutes then hung up on.

    OK so it all started in January. I was going to order flowers to have them shipped for Valentine's if I remember correctly. I called the 23rd to get help with the order because I was looking on the site and just couldn't seem to locate sunflowers because that is my girlfriend's favorite flowers. They answer very quick and we start talking. I explain I would like some sunflowers and he asks, “What's the occasion?” and I tell him "Valentine's Day". Then he ask me my price range and I say 50-70$ dollars so he immediately goes for roses for 120$ and I said, "It can have roses in it. I would just like the main flowers to be sunflowers." He then tells me another arrangement he can do and again it was nothing but roses and again I said, “I am looking for something with sunflowers” and then I say, “I understand if you guys don't have them. I know they might not be in season. Just let me know and I can look at something else.”

    He ensured me they have sunflowers and he then gives me the flowers called Lavender Dreams and it doesn't have sunflowers but it wasn't just roses and I was tired of getting the runaround and the flowers to me somewhat looked like sunflowers with me being colorblind so I agree to these. Seeing as there are multiple sizes I ask for the medium size as the large size was 70 dollars and I wanted to add some chocolate with it so he adds the chocolate. The price total comes out to be 102 and I was a little shocked and the gentleman said "It was for shipping" which I then agree to.

    I give them my email and they say they will email me with the tracking number which I still haven't received to this day but nevertheless I call the Sunday before Valentine's Day to make sure it will be delivered Valentine's Day and the lady was nice and ensured me that it was all OK and I had told her I had not received an email and she apologized and said she would resend it. I said OK and received the flowers at 6:30 that night without the chocolates. Now the flowers are pretty but nonetheless I didn't get the chocolates I paid for.

    I call as soon as they were delivered to see what has happened and am on hold for 30 minutes which is good time for Valentine's Day I think but the customer service representative told me he can deliver them next day and I told him "I paid for today." So I ask for a refund on the chocolate and ask why I had not received an email. Turns out there was a comma by my email instead of a dot. The first guy put my email in wrong. He offers a refund and I wait for the email to come expecting it within 5-10 minutes. It does not come so I call again another 30 minutes.

    This time the guy was more helpful and he fixes my email and I thank him and then I ask about shipping because I paid 15 dollars on shipping for something that was not shipped almost as much as the chocolates themselves and I ordered 4 weeks in advance so I think he said he will refund me. This gentleman even though more helpful than the previous guy did not speak English very well so again I am waiting for an email that I am still waiting on to arrive and again I have to call not receiving the email. So another 30 minutes and this time I am like I'll wait for the email on the phone but the lady tells me it will take 24 to 48 hours to send the email. Now I'm not sure how email works but I believe it should be quicker than 24 to 48 hours so I am now currently waiting on that. Stay tuned as the rest of the event unfolds. I will try and add a receipt when they send me one. I will add a photograph of the flowers though.

    On two separate occasions within the past year I was supposed to receive flowers from friends and loved ones and they never arrived. The first incident happened in April. My friends had it re-delivered and I still never received it. The last incident occurred on Valentine's Day. My boyfriend told me he was having something delivered. So I stayed home all day waiting for it to arrive. Around 4 pm I called customer service and was informed my delivery was on the way and it should arrive before 8 pm. I continued to wait and even turned the lights on outside to make sure the delivery would see my house number etc. They never showed.

    I finally called customer service and wasn't able to get through until 2/15 at 1 am. I was told that allegedly a delivery attempt had been made at 1043. Which wasn't true. Because I had called around 4 pm and was told my items were pending delivery and someone should arrive before 8 pm. In fact when I checked the delivery well after 1 am it still was showing pending. I even offered to just pick the items up myself since I had to work the next day and would not be home if they attempted delivery then. I was told they could not disclose the name of the local florist therefore I could not pick up my items.

    At that point we just decided to cancel the order and have them issue my boyfriend a full refund. Both situations were very disheartening especially since I was home waiting for my flowers to arrive and they never did. I've informed all my friends and loved ones to never use this company again and opt to use a reputable local florist instead. We will certainly monitor my boyfriend's account over the next 3-5 days to ensure he gets a full refund. I wish I could give them 0 stars.

    My boyfriend had ordered flowers to be delivered to my workplace on Valentine's Day. He placed the order on the previous day. He was notified that they had been delivered at 7:08 in the evening but I never received anything. After nearly an hour on hold they told him they had been delivered to the wrong address and they would refund his credit card in 3-5 business days. My work address is impossible to make a mistake on. It's a large police department with an address of number 1 and the name of an officer who worked there years ago... no other resident or business uses the street name. I'm not sure how such an error could have been made. Unfortunately 1-800-Flowers refused to provide the name of the florists who were delivering so we couldn't straighten it out with them.

    I'd tried to use them a few months ago to have birthday flowers delivered to my daughter who lives in a rural area. After spending about 15 minutes on the phone and not feeling very enthusiastic about their prices or selection, they said she was outside their delivery area. I called a local florist who put together something nice for less than half their price and got it to her in a timely manner. My advice... skip 1-800-Flowers altogether and just call a flower shop directly.

    I came home from work yesterday and was very excited to see my flowers from 1-800-Flowers. Except they weren't my flowers. I was delivered Lauren's flowers (different tracking number than mine) along with a lovely note for Lauren from Mike and Jackson. Oh, and the roses were seriously discolored (esp. the lighter colors). I don't think Lauren would've liked them either.

    I called the company to report these issues. The first rep I spoke with did not apologize a single time for this situation. Not once. No off-handed, "gee, sorry to hear you got someone else's gift and it was really nice of you to call so maybe her day won't be ruined too." I explained the situation. Calmly. Then I was put on hold for FIVE minutes. When she came back, she told me that I got someone else's flowers. It took her FIVE freaking minutes to parrot back what I had already explained. She put me on hold again. Another FIVE minutes.

    Someone else got on the phone - didn't bother to give me their name. I guess they thought I wouldn't notice the change in voices. This person did apologize and told me that a mistake was made and I was indeed delivered someone else's flowers, but mine were coming tomorrow. I mentioned the emails I had received stating, "your flowers were delivered." She told me to ignore the emails - "Your flowers are definitely coming tomorrow. Don't worry." I got off the phone thinking the problem had been solved. I wished the mix-up hadn't happened of course, but at least my flowers would arrive tomorrow & Lauren ** wouldn't miss out on her surprise. Win, win.

    Yeah... It's the next day (Valentine's Day) and it's 9:41 p.m. and I don't have my flowers. Happy Valentine's Day to me. I tried to call company again. The wait time is over 20 minutes.

    I ordered Valentine's Day flowers for my wife, $175 on Feb 8th. I paid extra to have them delivered on Valentine's Day and 1800flowers.com failed to deliver. What a huge disappointment. What's worse is that in the phone they seemed to expect it when I called and cancelled the order after my wife left work. It would be very embarrassing to deliver the flowers the day after Valentine's to my wife. And it seems like 1800flowers.com expects many similar cancellations from angry customers because they probably overbook to get the flower orders knowing that only a small percentage can be delivered. Beware of this company as they will destroy your expectation of delivering wonderful flowers to someone you love and I bet they know that they will in advance because they know they are overbooked and can't deliver. Go to your local florist and forget about ever doing business with this company because they won't deliver.

I went down to my doorman to ask if I had a package of flowers delivered - he said no and showed me the entire package room. This is not cool - on valentine's day? I'm sure my wife is feeling great today and tonight getting nothing from me. Extremely dissatisfied.

    I wish I have reviewed this company ahead of time. Paid $150 for edible flower delivery for Valentine's day, 2/14/2017 and part of that payment was a $27.98 in delivery charge. Am writing this review at 7:45 pm eastern time and the flower have NOT been delivered. How unreliable is this company on perhaps their biggest date to show they know what they are doing.

    I ordered flowers on February 9th, 2017 to be delivered on Valentine's Day to my mother's work address. The website states that flower deliveries to businesses would be conducted during business hours. As of 6pm there has been no delivery. I waited 47 minutes on the telephone in an attempt to contact someone from the company to no avail. Please do not order from this company and make the same mistake I made!!!

    Flowers did not show up on time (after 5 at a business), tracking system online does not give a time only the day, which I already knew. Waited on the phone for 25 minutes only to get a CSR that I could not understand, that could not call the local florist to find my order. Worst experience I have ever had with an online retailer. Go back to the florist. Don't trust this company to make your day special and "deliver smiles". All they deliver is a website with nothing behind it. I am not going through the trouble attempting to get a refund, which is most likely why they are set up the way they are. Who would go through their customer service minefield twice. Wish I had read the reviews before ordering. I am clearly not alone in my experience.

    My Fiance ordered his daughter and I some flowers to be delivered at our places of employment on Valentines Day and his daughter was delivered an empty Vase and my arrangement was never delivered although he ordered way in advance and paid extra to guarantee delivery on the day of and before either one of us left work. When calling to make inquiries about the orders he was transferred to several people who could not give him an explanation of where the flowers were. Then he was told he would not be fully reimbursed for the cost of the floral arrangement that he sent his daughter because although he didn't get the flowers he received some of his order AN EMPTY VASE. DONT ORDER FROM THESE UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. As of now we are still waiting on delivery of my flowers although his last contact with them he was told it would be by 5pm.

I received an email saying my flowers were on the way around 2:30 PM. I don't know what they were doing for 6 and a half hours but of course the flowers never came in time. The whole time I was calling customer service and they had no answers for me as to where my order was. Talk about a waste of money! Not only did I have to ruin the surprise for my fiancé and tell her about the situation I had to run to the store and buy her flowers... Might as well of just flushed 100 dollars down the drain.

    Horrible customer service, do not use. Phone was unanswered, email was unanswered. When I did finally reach someone all they could say was "I understand" but wouldn't do anything to help. All she could do is repeat over and over that "they had until 5pm" to deliver to businesses. Her office closes at 4pm, 1-800-Flowers insists they have until 5pm to deliver. Maybe according to fine print but that's not what I needed.

    As of 3:50pm on 2/14 $100 flower order still haven't arrived when order was placed 6 days in advance of Valentine's Day. Even if they do arrive in the next 10 minutes, who wants to place an order with a company 6 days in advance and have to worry about delivery with no feedback all day. I wouldn't bother nor waste your money on this "service" or lack thereof. If there were "zero stars" I would rate my experience a zero. I am sorry that I had to rate it a single star. I did what I could by ordering early, it should have been on 1st shipment for the day. The payment charges hit credit card very promptly on 9 Feb.

    Placed an order a week ago for flowers to be delivered on Valentine's Day to my wife. Received an email that morning that my flower order was being put together and I'd receive an email when it was delivered. Great! Then 4 hours later I get a call that they can't deliver the order - but - they would give me a 50% discount. Wait, what? Their only job is to take orders and deliver flowers! And it's Valentine's Day! After telling them that's unacceptable, the agent, Alex, said he'd work on it and I'd hear back from him in 10 minutes. NOPE. 5 phone calls placed to 1-800-No-Flowers and 2 hours later (apparently to the Philippines), no one could tell me the status of my order. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PLACE AN ORDER WITH 1-800-NO-FLOWERS. Unless you want to be disappointed and have a lighter wallet. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I am officially quitting with ordering from your company.

    I don't know WHO thought that this was a good idea. NO romantic surprise, NO instant gratification, not even a card to open immediately except for the one inside that forces me to cut open the thick mailing tape for my wife to read. I am a businessman and this is the height of laziness in business. It was never this way before but it's going to drive away your customers. I will use my local florists who can deliver a beautiful COMPLETED arrangement that won't make both of us depressed that there's work to be done.

    Below complaints just indicated that 1-800-Flowers's very poor delivery management and inefficient/ineffective customer services. I ordered two product (plant and sweet treat) on 2/9/2017. I selected 2/10 delivery to avoid the busy time 2/13 and 2/14. The plant was delivered on 2/10, however, the sweet treat was not. To make it worse, delivery was marked as complete via email.

    Dealing with customer services were a nightmare. I called three times and exchanged emails in the past 50 hours. Some committed to re-deliver on 2/11, some committed to redeliver on 2/13, some said that it would be impossible to deliver before 2/16. Every time, they were polite but not helpful. Ironically, I continued to receive advertisement to encourage last minute order and guarantee delivery by 2/14, while I was told that they won't be able to correct their missed delivery. It seems that either their customer service representatives do not hold any responsibilities or their systems are broken. Neither of them makes 1-800-Flowers a reliable company.

While I sat there on hold, I tested checkout again, and was able to choose the 14th and watched it through checkout to make sure it stayed. When the agent came back on the line, I asked for the old order to be cancelled, but she refused saying that it was Valentine's policy that NO ORDERS COULD BE CANCELLED.

    I ordered flowers, and they were not delivered on the date they were supposed to be delivered. I called to check on the status of the order a day after the flowers were supposed to be delivered. After four phone calls to different representatives, we received no concrete answers, no set delivery date. The people we talked to barely spoke English, and seemed to not understand our problem. Anytime we brought up the idea of a refund they claimed to not be able to hear us. Finally, we got through to the billing department, who claimed we would get a refund. We are still waiting to receive it, but I am not sure if and when we ever will. I am doubtful.

    I find it troubling that this company refuses to give confirmation numbers to account for the phone calls. There is no accountability. This seems to be a very dishonest and untrustworthy company.

The technology on the website is inferior and deceptive as it does not include promo discounts but yet puts out a message that the discount has been added. Even though Chris McCann (current CEO) has only been in place for about a year he may want to view Yelp or any of the other review sites to see what a pathetic public company he has on his hands to turn around.

Even though they couldn't resolve my issue, I was asked to give credit card to hold the order. I asked for a reference/confirmation number, the man said he didn't have one to give, only an order number.

    After all those red flags I decide to check my credit card, it showed a pending charge, so they did put my order through. Called again and asked for a confirmation number, I was told he couldn't give me one. Gave the order number, said it didn't exist, 5 minutes later found it, and said I authorized the order.

    Damn I wish I would have found this earlier. I wouldn't have ordered. I ordered $90 flower package for my wife at 8:30 AM today and needed it by 3 PM. I talked to 3 people, used the Facebook messenger and even used their website chat. I wanted to verify that it would get there by 3 because my wife was flying out for work and I wanted to surprise her. At 2:30 PM, the person over the chat said they were done at noon and were on their way. They haven't arrived yet, and my wife is on her flight and these flowers are absolutely useless now. I emailed the customer service to complain about my experience, and it just got worse. Here's a sample of their customer service skills.

    "I'd really like some proof that they actually left. I don't believe they've even been made. SLC is very small. You say "out for delivery" to prevent people from canceling the order when they screw up. Literally, it's like lighting $90 on fire and throwing it away. SMILE Guarantee. Whatever..." RESPONSE. "Good Day! As of the moment we're still communicating the florist and as soon as they update us about this order you'll be automatically notified via email. Thank you for reaching out to us". I would expect a refund, but that's obviously not going to happen - so buyer beware - they ruined my weekend.

    I am sorry to read all the negative reports on 1-800-Flowers. My experience, and the experience of several of my friends, has been quite different. My son ordered flowers from you while he was overseas. The flowers arrived on time but sat on my front porch for over 15 hours. There was no notification by the FedEx delivery person that they had arrived. No Email, no call, no note on door, no ringing of doorbell; nothing! When I discovered the box so much later I was disappointed with the contents in the box, and admittedly, quite angry. It had been out in the 20 degree weather for over a good 15 hours. Called 1800 and they immediately set up another delivery for the next day.

    I was quite happy with their response to my issue. Thank you to the rep who assisted me. He was very professional. Sorry, I forgot his name. Now I would suggest that 1-800-Flowers work more closely with and monitor their delivery companies, FedEx and UPS, or whatever other means of delivery they use. I am willing to bet that a lot of the problems arise from these delivery companies. 1-800-Flowers, instead of passing the blame to their delivery companies, took full responsibility for the error and made good on their own. Thank you, 1-800-Flowers, for doing the right thing this time. I sincerely hope you can work out the other negative issues you seem to have because I want to use you for any flower orders I will need in the future.

It has been a nightmare to try and get a full refund as they charged me for the flowers even though they did not deliver. I would be happy to pay more if it meant hiring people who speak English and understand the first thing about customer service. Totally incompetent and no clue how to take care of customers.
