    On 3/26/2019 I called Avas to order flowers for my mother. I spoke with a Gentleman named Angel who was nice and did a good job processing the request. We came up with a floral design and price with delivery which he stated would be done within 2 hours and I paid for the transaction. Unfortunately at 4:00, 3 hours later I was called and they attempted to force me to pay an additional $16.00 because they couldn’t use their usual delivery company. Obviously, I canceled the transaction and placed the order with a different floral provider.

    I ordered a LARGE bouquet (given choice of S-M-L-XL) and paid nearly $100 for it. I just happened to be at the house where they were delivered later that week and was horrified to see what had been delivered. The worst part is that the person who received them was too polite to question what arrived. It was embarrassing, at best. What was delivered was a small version, at best, and the flowers were old and stale. I have photos to back this up. I called avasflowers.net the next day and was told I only have 24 hours to report a problem and we were past that. They refused to do anything. After going back and forth with customer service for a couple days, they finally gave me a $15 credit towards future flowers. Which is a joke because I would have to be insane to ever order from them again. Run, and run fast. Don't give them a dime of your money!

    It started on a Sunday morning. My dad lost his mom, I called to see if they could deliver flowers same day. I was told that they could do that. Purchased the flowers. Got an email letting me know that my order was scheduled for delivery. As the day went on, no delivery confirmation. Later in the evening I received an email stating that the delivery did not happen, the driver did not update and was asked to call or email regarding this matter. Monday morning I phoned to check the status of the order and was told that they flower shop did not deliver on Sundays. Well that would have been nice to know... and why the email that my order was scheduled for delivery?? The order is now scheduled for Monday.

    Upon checking the tracking it stated that delivery confirmation was pending. I had to call twice to check the status as the day went on. Frustrated beyond imagination I called my dad to let him know that I was trying to send him flowers and asked that he let me know if they are ever delivered. NOW the element of surprise and thoughtfulness is completely out the door.

    So my last phone call the them, they stated that the order was out for delivery. I asked if they could just leave the flowers as my dad is not home, they said as long as you authorize them to do that, then yes they can. I asked them to leave the order. Upon hanging up with them, my dad called and informed me that a friend stopped by his house and the flowers were on the porch. In my opinion the flowers were left prior to my authorization. I NEVER did get a delivery confirmation and the order did not look anything like the picture indicated they would. They are very nice, but not to my expectation by any means. Not very pleased with my experience. I should have researched a little better and contacted a local florist directly.

    Avas Flowers delivered flowers to the billing address instead of the delivery address. Called 4 times to get this rectified and they were incredibly rude and blamed it on me for confusing the billing address with the delivery address. The Avas Flowers website defaulted to Hudson, WI and the billing address is in New Hampshire. I would have had to purposely changed and really screw this up in order to change the town, state, and zip code to my own. Horrible horrible customer service experience so do yourself a favor and avoid Avas Flowers at all costs!!

    I ordered flowers for Valentine's Day. They weren't delivered, and when I tried to call I was on hold for 30 minutes with no answer. I haven't received any answers to emails either. I had to file a credit card dispute. It's over two months later, and they responded to the credit card company saying they were delivered. They still didn't provide proof.

    As others have said, I would rate Avas a zero if it was an option. On 3/14/19 I performed an online search for a local florist in my son's town in Connecticut. Avas Flowers came up and I ordered a yucca plant and birthday balloon for his fiancé. A hyacinth plant without a balloon was delivered. Call #1 - a correction was to be sent; call #2 - I would receive a call back with a resolution as no replacement was received; call #3 - if they cannot fix, I will be refunded; call #4 hung up on; calls 5 and 6 were requests for a return call that was never received.

    Today, 3/23 I received a call telling me the replacement would be delivered by Monday, only to receive a call less than 30 minutes later saying they would substitute another flowering plant... Not what I ordered. I requested pictures of what they were sending. After at least 30 minutes and several times being placed on hold, I was told they could not send pictures. I requested a full refund and after another time on hold was informed that I could expect a refund. Time will tell; however, we have a dispute in with our bank as well over this charge.

    Thought I was ordering from a local florist. Got highjacked by Avas. Ordered what I thought was a beautiful vase of spring flowers for my Mom in Maine. What I got was a small vase of tulips. Sent an e-mail telling them I was not happy with what they sent, and they said "we sent you an e-mail, we were very busy and substitutions would be made" Fine I get that, but a handful of Tulips, sorry that was not $40.00 worth of tulips plus $16 delivery. Basically their e-mail was too bad, we gave you an upgrade to tulips. Wow if that was the upgrade, I would hate to see what they send out normally. Next time I will make sure I am ordering from a local business.

    One star because they do not let you give ZERO Terrible experience. I hope people read these reviews before they order!!! Don’t waste your money here. Order was delayed, TOTALLY wrong flowers, and they didn’t include the card that was suppose to have the message. My mom calls me from another state saying someone anonymously delivered her flowers... So that ruined the special moment for me because I had to tell her “oh it was me”. And to top it off customer service does not respond to your needs/concerns. Highly do not recommend.

    My grandmother was in the hospital in Indianapolis where I ordered flowers to be delivered the next day. Upon delivery on that afternoon she was moved to hospice where she never received the flowers after specific instructions were given to room number and Ward and that they needed to be delivered in the morning. My grandmother never received the $60 bouquet of flowers and because the company says that they were delivered to a hospital, not necessarily the ward that she was in, and since they received a signature there was nothing they would do for me about it. They did not offer me a refund, they did not offer to send another bouquet to the correct address, all they cared about was that it was delivered to a address and was signed by a person, not my grandmother or family members, and told me I was out $60.

    The person I spoke to in customer service, I could barely understand, when I asked for a manager the same thing happened, I could barely understand what he was saying and all he told me was sorry it's delivered that's all we can do. My grandmother never received the flowers and she passed away 2 days later. I would never recommend this company, all they care about is money, they do not care about the reason in which flowers are sent and have no empathy as to how important it is to try to cheer up a loved one who is suffering and far from loved ones. What a disgraceful company. Do not order from these people.

    My aunt lives in a different state, she wasn’t feeling well and I had used this company before and it wasn’t terrible so I decided to use them again to send her some flowers as a “get well”. I ordered on 3/20 @ 2:30 in the afternoon for them to be delivered on 3/21. 12 o’clock rolls around on 3/21 still haven’t heard anything about delivery. I call. They say they are on the truck. Should be delivered to her within an hour, okay no problem. 2:00 o’clock rolls around, still nothing. I call back. They assure me again she should be getting them any moment. Still nothing at 3:00. Call back, assured me on their way to her place of employment.

    I get off work at 4:15. Still haven’t heard anything. My aunt gets off at her job at 4:30. So I call Frantically hoping they are there, she didn’t receive her flowers until 4:25 on 3/21. 26 hours after I ordered, but yet do same day delivery? When she got the flowers, no vase. At this point I was very upset and called and asked to speak with a manager. Put me on hold for 15 plus min. I hang up and call back again, on hold 15 plus min. At this point I’m very very frustrated and call back and speak to a representative and he tells me “that’s what I ordered” I ordered the SAME thing as before and it got a vase.

    Online does not Specify this order would not come with a vase!!! Offers me $15 store credit. I told him absolutely not after the awful experience and living in another state, asked for a $15 refund to my card. He then laughs and says, "No but I can give you 10%." So I spend $60 on flowers I thought was coming with a vase for you to give me $6 back!? No way. I asked to speak to a manager and he refused. I’m absolutely livid. Order ANYWHERE but here. All they are in it for is your money. The most AWFUL experience I’ve ever encountered with a business. Safe yourself the money and the headache.

    I ordered two separate arrangements to be delivered. Both were a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Flowers delivered were not an arrangement, but flowers bunches together. What was delivered was nothing like the picture that I ordered from online... Not the same flowers, colors, or feel. It was so embarrassing. I would have been better off to not send anything. I spent a lot of money to send what I thought would be a beautiful arrangement. It was definitely awful.

    When I called to complain, they said I needed pictures. So I got pictures and emailed them. I received a call saying “sorry you are disappointed” but they said the arrangements followed their recipe correctly and was an artist design. It was terrible. I don’t know what their written recipe said - but it may as well have said disaster. They offered nothing more than “sorry arrangements didn’t fulfill your expectations.” I told them this was unacceptable and I expected a refund. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Instead I received an email back telling me they had no further resolution. I WILL NEVER USE AVAS FLOWERS AGAIN... NEVER!

    I ordered a balloon bouquet two days before delivery 3/19/2019. I requested that it be delivered as early possible in the morning as the recipient was leaving work early. I also called the day before delivery to confirm the early delivery. I was told it would be delivered first thing in the morning 3/21/2019. I called again just now on 3/21 because it still has not been delivered. It is now 12:45pm. I was told it would be delivered "soon". The customer service rep did not even address the fact that it should be been delivered this morning. The recipient has left work and will not get the arrangement now. I normally use Harry's Famous Flowers in Orlando but Avas has the balloon bouquets so I used them. Never again. I wasted almost $80.00 and my gift was a waste of time. So disappointed.

    I have ordered flowers for our anniversary to deliver them to my husband. I made order on phone and they confirmed me that they would deliver within the same day. The order costed $75. Later, I received a email saying that they cannot deliver on the same day. When I called them back, they said me that they cannot refund whole money and can only give $50 back though it was their fault. They have disappointed me by not delivering on our anniversary and along with that they said that they would refund only $50. Never, ever order from them again.

    I've used Avas Flowers for the past 3 years and had no issues until this past Valentine's Day. I ordered an arrangement with a mylar balloon for Valentine's Day for my wife to be delivered to her office. I placed an order online on Feb. 9th, 2019 at 2:22pm - which I believed was more than sufficient time to place the order and have it delivered on time, and this was also sufficient time in case there was an issue with the order or to determine if it could be delivered. The order was never delivered, and I was also never contacted by Avas regarding their inability to be delivered. I sent 4 messages using their "Contact Us" page, and each time it said "we received your message and will be contacting you shortly" - WHICH NEVER HAPPENED!!! This was an order totaling $82.47 - a fairly substantial order considering that I am on disability (which is why I order the majority of items I need online).

    After waiting for a response which NEVER came, I called on March 19th. I was told that they were sorry for problem, but that they were very busy (duh - isn't that their business and shouldn't they have been prepared for large orders?). I was told that they were ready to resend the order, which I told them was silly since Valentine's Day is long past and I had to apologize to my wife (it looked like I forgot and that I was making up excuses). I told them that I was not a happy customer and all I wanted was a refund. I was only offered a reorder or a store credit, but no refund. I told her that I would not be reordering from Avas again based on this experience, and since I did not receive the item, that I should be refunded the full amount.

    The woman kept reading a script in over and over again that I could have it resent or a store credit - there were no other options. I told her that I paid the full amount up front with no questions, and that I should be given a full refund because I did not receive the order. That obviously didn't happen and I am now out $82.47 - my donation to Avas and the florist that they hired - how nice for them. I will NOT be ordering from them again - and it was a tough lesson to learn (it's tough being disabled and homebound and dependent upon the goodwill and honesty of others). Lesson learned.

    I ordered flowers for my Mother-in-law's funeral which was out of state. I was assured they would be there on time. I received a confirmation that they had been delivered at 3:40 pm on Thursday. So on the next day... Friday we arrived at the funeral home and didn't see the flowers that should have had beloved Mom. Nothing!!!

    The funeral director called this bull crap company and they told him they were delivered. They spoke to their designer and now they said the flowers were delivered on Friday. Which we were there and the funeral director told them there is no way there was a delivery. Then i was told there was a problem and they were waiting to speak to the designer again. And that I would be refunded and I would get a call. I never received a callback and I've been calling every chance I get and constantly am being hung up on as well as my card has NOT been refunded. The funeral director informed me that places like this love people who order out of state because 9 out of 10 times the one who orders don't go to the funeral and won't even realize the flowers never were there!!! These people are the biggest crooks. Please please DO NOT ORDER FROM THERE!!!

    I would give them 0 stars if it was an option. Avas flowers is the worst place I have EVER done business with. Offer same day delivery and my flowers were still frozen and not delivered over 24 hours later! Also my wife didn’t even get the arrangement I ordered because the flowers were still frozen! I was told it would be upgraded to the premium package as well and it looks like I picked weeds out of my front yard. Walmart flowers look 100 times better than what she received. Price online was 52 dollars. Ended up being 93 dollars!

    Went back and forth with customer service for a week and sent them pictures of what we received and they apologized for it so you know they were bad. They said it took so long because they were waiting from a response from the florist, but it wasn’t a problem getting a hold of them when I was asking where my order was. Wasted a week only to be told they would give me 8 dollars back. This place is a joke. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

After my card was charged, my son received an email stating that the arrangement ordered was not available same day, but they would upgrade to 12 pink boxed roses... Not at all an upgrade compared to arrangement purchased. I immediately called for a refund and was totally given the "runaround" - 3 customer service agents later was offered the pink roses delivered the next day and 30% refund; then 50% refund. I declined all offers and requested full refund. Then was told they would have to charge me sales tax and service fee??!! Absurd.

    I purchased a lovely arrangement to be sent to my Goddaughter on the day she learned she had a earned a medical residency at a prestigious school. The flowers were ordered two days ahead and to be delivered to the home of a social worker and her husband, a well-known musician. They were hosting the party for my Goddaughter. Their phone number was furnished as well. I was very sad that due to injury I could not make the 5 hour drive to her celebration, but took comfort in the fact that I could send flowers.

    The family stayed home all afternoon waiting for delivery. Ava's texted me and said they had been delivered. I talked to 3 different people who kept maintaining that my goddaughter had signed for the flowers!!! They repeatedly took refuge in "we have a signature". I explained that none of the folk at that address would lie. They were unwilling to investigate any further. Customer service has not responded to my Emails. So I am ripped off of both my $ as well as the opportunity to celebrate a once-in a lifetime event with my Goddaughter.

    I ordered the Jade bouquet for my brother's birthday/retirement as he loves whites/creams/greens in floral arrangements only so it seemed perfect for him. The delivery was on time and the flowers looked healthy based on the picture he sent me, but they were nothing at all like the bouquet I had ordered. Pinks, yellows and purples. Their terms say they have to call before making a substitution like this to allow you to cancel, but they never did. I am still in back and forth process of resolution with customer service stating that the local store they used won't return their calls. I wouldn't use them again, felt like a classic bait and switch and they clearly just put together what they wanted in the moment, with no consideration of what the customer actually asked for.

    Avasflowers.com took my order via phone 3/11/19 for a $132.00 spray of flowers for a funeral. The charge went through my bank 3/13/19. They were set up to deliver 3/14/19, the night before the funeral. I confirmed all details with the funeral home before ordering and gave all details to Avas. No flowers were delivered. I called Avas during the funeral and spoke to a man who said the florist called the night before and the funeral home said there was no funeral for that name and confirmed the name, funeral home and phone number I gave them, to me.

    This seems completely fabricated as the funeral was held today under all of that confirmed information. Apparently Avas calls the order in to a local florist (I thought Avas were local and didn’t know they were just a nationwide company who takes orders and passes it on to a local florist) but they refused to tell me who the local florist was so I could call and try to figure out what happened. Avas said the florist never made them as there was no funeral there and yet never called to tell me this, nor emailed me (I gave them my email for an order confirmation which they also never sent yet I was charged) when they supposedly found this out via their phone call to the funeral home.

    This spray was to stand next to the casket. I’m thoroughly disgusted at the non-delivery, untruths and secrecy of the name of the local florist keeping me from trying to figure out what happened with my order and possibly get something else delivered. They also don’t tell you they aren’t local and are going to call it into someone else to make, and have their advertising set to come up when you google a florist for a particular town. What a disaster. Waiting for a refund from these people.

    I placed an order for my husband's birthday -- a 12-rose bouquet and a birthday balloon -- the day before I wanted the order delivered to my husband's office. I waited all day to hear from my husband -- nothing. Then I got an e-mail with delivery confirmation that the flowers were dropped off at 4:10 pm that day. My husband had already left for the day. The next day he went into work -- NO FLOWERS. Nowhere to be found. I sent 2 e-mails of complaint to the company via their website; both bounced back. I spent 20 minutes on the phone trying to straighten out the situation. The customer service rep had me on hold for almost 15 minutes, only to come back and say that the flowers were never delivered and that the delivery confirmation was sent to me in error.

    I asked if the flowers could be sent to my husband today before 4 pm. He said yes. I told him I wanted a partial refund since the order was a day late, and he said he'd give me $20 in store credit to my account. I asked for $20 refunded back to my credit card and he said they would only refund $10. So at this point my husband may or may not get flowers today, and I may or may not get a $10 refund on my credit card on an almost-$90 order. I am VERY upset and will NEVER use this company again.

    Since I am 300 miles away, I ordered a cheery 'deluxe' (more flowers) Birthday Bouquet for my daughter's birthday. It was to be a surprise. I placed the order in the am of 3/5 to be delivered by lunch on 3/6 (her birthday). Finally, at 7 pm (the time the website said was the latest they deliver) I asked my daughter if she had received anything. She said no. Since Avas was closed, I sent a complaint by email. At 8:17PM a SMALL, DARK, arrangement was delivered to my daughter. It was in NO form the arrangement I ordered. They looked like something left over from a funeral. She did not receive the full size birthday card (an extra $3.99) that I paid for either. I truly believe that after my complaint, they had someone throw something together and get it to her house.

    For me, her birthday surprise was ruined. Again, I sent a complaint asking for a full refund. I even sent pictures of what I had ordered and what she received - which was totally different. After about 10 emails I was offered a 10% refund - I paid $84.97 and was offered a refund of $8.49. Needless to say, I told them to keep their 'refund.' I was NEVER offered another actual birthday arrangement sent to her, nor was I offered a full refund since I didn't get what I paid for. (A reputable company would have done either or both.) This company is such a scam. I would NOT recommend anyone using them for anything. I feel as if I was cheated out of my money. I could have gotten a better arrangement at a grocery store. Please do not use them.

    I ordered flowers for a funeral, I was promised delivery same day by 5:00 pm, I was unable to attend the funeral but had some comfort knowing I had sent flower. They called me 3 days after the funeral stating they did not have "any flowers in stock". How does a florist have no flowers. They kept saying they could delivery them this week and did not seem to understand the funeral was over. The customer service rep was very short with me and had no sympathy for the situation, he stated my money would be refunded but have checked my bank and it is still not there.

    I ask to speak with a supervisor. The rep laughed and said, "They are too busy for you" and hung up on me. I have emailed and called with no return calls, I gave them a bad review on Facebook and sent them a DM, they have now blocked me. I have called my bank a reported them. Wish I would have read all the reviews online before going through this nightmare, thought maybe I could at least save someone else the heartbreak I experienced. They screwed up the last thing I could have done for a dear friend.

    First of all, I googled local florist in the area of Chicago to be delivered to my daughter. Avas came up. I stupidly did not research customer ratings before ordering. Add on fees were almost as much as the cost of arrangement. Confirmation said delivery by 7:00 pm the next day. By this point I had googled ratings and was horrified by the across-the-board terrible reviews so I was nervous it would not get to my daughter's work. Called them to make sure it would be delivered earlier in the day as she leaves by 5:00. It was delivered around 1:00. Daughter sent me a picture of arrangement - pathetic! Flowers wilted, bouquet sparse. Called Avas back, they said they could credit me $20.00. I said not acceptable. Lots of back and forth phone calls and being on hold forever. Finally said they would credit me $40 and send new flowers. I said no, I want a full refund. Shockingly, I did get the refund. I just got lucky with that.

    My experience with Avas Flowers was the worst retail experience of my life. They QUOTED me $47 but CHARGED me $56 & did every single thing wrong on my order. I ordered on Saturday and THEY suggested a delivery of SUN by 12 NOON but the flowers didn't arrive until MONDAY. I would've been perfectly OK with them telling me to expect them on Monday, but Sunday was THEIR idea! When the flowers did finally arrive, EVERYTHING was wrong! The card had the WRONG MESSAGE & wasn't even SIGNED! They wrote the (incorrect) message on the TOP HALF of the card, which is not what you see when you open a card! On the bottom half, the part you DO SEE when you OPEN the card, they wrote "for future reference we don't deliver on Sunday".

    WHY on earth WOULD THEY TELL THE RECIPIENT THAT??? She DIDN'T ORDER THEM, they were a surprise! And since the card wasn't signed, she had NO IDEA WHO they were FROM! So she asked her boyfriend then called me. I wanted her to feel loved by me, but instead she got flowers with a reprimand on the card! They also put the WRONG FLOWERS in the bouquet! I ordered PURPLE & RED flowers for a reason, those colors had significance and I TOLD Avas Flowers that! They NEVER ONCE CONTACTED ME on their own accord to update me on anything. I contacted them several times on Sunday & they KEPT telling me not to worry, they'd DEFINITELY be delivered on Sunday.

    I COULDN'T TRACK the ORDER over the phone because it said there was no order with that number. When I tracked it ONLINE it did recognize the order number, but all it said was "delivery exception" which DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING to a customer! It took TEN CALLS & EMAILS just to get them to finally refund me $9 that they "accidentally" overcharged me, but I had to keep on them about it & they acted like they were doing me a FAVOR, and said "I can offer you a refund this one time only". I was only asking them to refund what they overcharged me! After the flowers were delivered I contacted them about the huge list of problems with the order they were actually rude & mean to me!

    Any ONE of their screw ups should've had the management contacting me, apologizing, and trying to rectify the situation, but instead what they did was treat me like garbage for 2 whole days. ALL I WANTED WAS TO SEND MY BEST FRIEND A BOUQUET OF flowers! I asked for the $9 price correction but no one would help me, talk to me, reply to my emails or apologize! So after 2 days of constantly being ignored I finally said I want a full refund and they had the nerve to finally reply to me & say they had already given me $9 refund! The $9 refund had nothing to do with the horrendous service, that $9 was the amount THEY OVERCHARGED me! At which point they replied and said they would give me $10 off my NEXT ORDER!

    No one would ever use that place a 2nd time! It took me a full week, 18 emails, and 10 phone calls and they finally gave me $20 refund. They said my situation didn't warrant a full refund and that they were doing this as a favor to me. I don't know if this was a coincidence or not, but the same day I placed my order with Avas Flowers, I had $422 of credit card fraud. I had just given Avas Flowers my credit card number & the code on the back of the card and suddenly I had $422 of fraud. Avas Flowers is a disgusting excuse for a company, they'll rip you off and then treat you terribly. Never use them.

    My experience with Avas Flowers goes as follows. Failed to deliver flowers ordered to my 80 year old mother on her birthday. Failed to notify me of no delivery, via phone, email or even the tracking portal, which continued to say delivery pending even the next day. Failed to tell me over the phone, after two calls and a half hour of holding, on the evening of the scheduled delivery why the flowers weren't delivered, but instead suggested I call back the next day. Failed to contact me about a potential re-delivery the day after, but instead took the money out of my bank and made me call and hold and call and hold and hold to ask for a refund, only to be disconnected before confirming that a refund would occur, and then did not call back to finalize the process.

    Failed with their reply to the email I sent asking about the refund with loads of lip-service buzz-words, as if refunding my money is doing me a favor. Failed by sending an automated email telling me it could take ten days for the refund to go through, when it only took them one day to process the charge. Failed to honestly advertise their reviews on their site (will attach a photo). Ava used lip-service buzz-words in their correspondence with me like quality, service, satisfaction, priority, commitment and guarantee-care. Where I come from, only a full refund, a complimentary rescheduled delivery and an apology to my mom could back up boasts of of those standards. I'd rather wade through poison ivy and ticks to pick thistle and Queen Anne's lace myself from the field behind my house next time I need a bouquet than order from Avas Flowers.

    Asked for specific plant for funeral. Told they had it after spelling it out twice for them. They sold us the wrong plant probably figuring we wouldn’t notice. Then customer rep I reported this to insisted even after seeing the picture of what we got, insisted they sent the correct plant. So I was not told the truth twice by their customer support.

    I called AGAIN, and the rep told me they would reprimand the rep. They would give 15% of $115 back and $20 store credit. Not what I call a fair resolution. If I ordered a pair of pants and was sent a pair of shorts, shouldn’t I get a refund or the correct item? After debating this I contacted them AGAIN and I was told there was nothing else they can do. All I can say is SHOP LOCAL! Anytime you can. And don’t go with Avas for flowers/plants etc. I had a complaint the last time I ordered from them as well. They sent the wrong vase.

    Due to the sudden death of a family member and the quick funeral arrangements, we did a web search for a local florist to order our floral arrangement. Upon calling AVAS, they assured us that they were local and the order would be delivered on time. It turned out that they were not local and the order was never received but we were charged. We disputed the charges but somehow we were to show proof of non-receipt. They won the dispute due to the fact that they could deliver to the floral room of the funeral home without a signature. The flowers were not at the funeral nor did any family member ever receive them. If you wish to use this florist, be sure to read their guidelines and warranties. They are such that AVAS is covered for late or non deliveries.

The replacement bouquet never arrived so I called them again the following morning and they said they wouldn't be issuing the replacement bouquet but would give me another $7.

    I asked the manager I was speaking with if she considered the bouquet I received worth the money I paid and she refused to answer me.

I have been working with two different people of who thought it was ok to offer a $10 in store credit to an unknown location and then provide a 15% refund ($16.48) for an arrangement that cost $153.47. The flowers delivered were wilted, the vase hardly had water in it, the balloons were deflated and the arrangement did not last past the weekend, even though it was delivered on 2/15/19, the day after Valentine's Day.

    The company is not willing to work with you, even though they have a standard process listed online if you are not satisfied with your product. Not only do they not work with you, but make it very hard to get in contact with them once your purchase is made.

    Really wish I was able to give zero stars, and angry with myself for not reading reviews before ordering. A family friend died suddenly so I sent a funeral spray through Avas to the funeral home since the services were out-of-town and I was unable to attend. I ordered days ahead of the service (which was 2:00 p.m. on a Friday) and was told by Avas that it was not an issue getting them there on time. Friday night, I received a text around 6:50 p.m. stating that my floral spray had JUST arrived. Both the funeral and the visitation were over at this point, and the family never received my flowers.

    I called Avas and they "tried to call the florist" but were unable to reach them...but Avas would not give me the name of the local florist which they used. I called the funeral home myself on Friday night and was told that there was no way to know at that point if my flowers were there because all the flowers had already been removed from all the service suites/rooms. I contacted Avas again (after being told I WOULD FOR SURE RECEIVE A PHONE CALL ON SATURDAY AFTER THEY CALLED THE FUNERAL HOME) and the only thing they could do was offer me $15 off a future order. I spent well over $100 for flowers which never arrived to their intended recipient. February 2019.

    I ordered a sympathy arrangement to arrive on a Sunday, March 3, 2019, for a funeral service in Gastonia, North Carolina. I ordered it on a Monday to have it delivered on a Sunday. That gave them six days at least to plan the logistics of the delivery. The website tracking page still has a note that says the delivery confirmation is pending. The arrangement was quite expensive. A person answered an email once and subsequent emails were not answered. There is no way of tracking if it was actually delivered or not. This website promises weekend day deliveries which makes it a perfect scam, because most florists do not. I think someone should shut them down. After the fact I did research on them, something I have never had to do while ordering flowers online and have seen that this has happened to others. It is a shame that nobody has shut them down.

    THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! I should have went with my intuition after placing this order... Just did not feel comfortable with how it went. I ordered two of the same flower arrangements for the funeral service for my husband. I specifically stated that they had to be delivered to the church by noon for the service that started at 1:00 P.M. I had to call from the church to inquire where they were. They had the name of the church correct as well as the street address but the wrong city! Fortunately the city they went to was a suburb of where the church was located and they were able to get the flowers to the church by 1:00 P.M. But, they only delivered one arrangement and not 2 which I ordered and paid for.

    When I called the next day they told me I only ordered one arrangement. I told the person that I was looking at my email from them stating two arrangements and the cost. I was told I would have to wait 24 hours for someone to get back to me so they could check who signed for them. I said what difference does that make, the flowers were not there as promised by noon. I finally had to call back myself after 24 hours and no call from Avas. I was told I would get a refund for the arrangement I did not receive but it was not for the amount I paid. When I questioned the amount they said they do not return the service charge or the tax! She said there were 2 separate orders.

    I ordered 2 of the same arrangements and paid for 2 of the same... Why were they separate orders? Supposedly the 2nd arrangement was delivered at 4:00. Why would I have a separate arrangement delivered at 4:00 for a service that was held a 1:00. I asked for her supervisor. She said she was the supervisor. I told her she works for a terrible company and she was doing a very poor job of taking care of their customers. I turned it over to my credit card company to handle. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE COMPANY...

We ordered flowers for our daughter (who is the victim of a abusive marriage that she finally was able to obtain a divorce) and received a confirmation they were being delivered by 7pm on Feb. 14th (Valentine's day). No delivery! Trying to make contact via website, phone and email was hopeless with the same reply of "no information available.” I finally got an answer via phone today (2/25) and the guy kept apologizing and offering me to deliver the same flowers now (11 days late) plus $10.00 off my next order, then $20.00 off then 10% discount on top of it.

    He was assuming I would do business with them again. No way am I doing business with these people ever again. He kept putting me on hold between each step but would not let me speak to a supervisor because they were busy. Finally...Because of my persistence, got him to refund my money but never did give me a supervisor. He wanted me to call back to talk to them! Are you kidding me? He finally agreed to have them call me back. 1 hour no call yet! Do not do business with these people and if you do be ready for the runaround and extremely lousy service!

    I paid over $100 for flowers that were never delivered. I called and was told that they would look into it and call me back. A week later and no call. When I call now and put in my order number, a message comes on and says they were delivered and they are still “looking into it.” I dont even get a live person anymore. The flowers were to be delivered to my 4 year old granddaughter who was in the hospital. The hospital staff even went out of their way to search for the flowers all over the hospital to be sure they did not get delivered somewhere else. NOPE. Avas Flowers LIED. They took my money and lied. They are the worst kind of crooks hiding behind a computer. The only recourse I have is to cancel the charge. I want to warn anyone else. DO NOT USE THEM EVER!!!

    Avas advertises on their website FREE DELIVERY. Beware, as this is disguised as a "SERVICE FEE" at 39% of the purchase price. Paid $45. for an arrangement, and not informed about the service fee until the very last checkout screen of $18. Order placed online prior to noon, as they advertise delivery the same day. My order was to be delivered to a business today Friday, and they called to say the arrangement cannot be delivered until Monday. I asked to have the service fee reduced 50%, and the most they would discount it was 10%. Unacceptable! Canceled the order.

    Ordered a $54 Dollar Valentine's day arrangement to be delivered to my wife's office. Total cost, $87.00. First delivery was horrific. Roses in full bloom, flowers were brown around at the edges. It arrived unwrapped and exposed to the elements. Much smaller than what was depicted on the website. The AVAS vendor was actually Yellow Rose of Granger, IN. I called them directly because AVAS didn't answer their phone-- called 3x and after being on hold for 15 minutes-- they dropped my call.

    Anyway, Yellow Rose said they would deliver a new arrangement the following Monday since they'll have fresher flowers. What they delivered was crap. The flowers were NOT fresh. The arrangement had substitutions, and it wasn't wrapped either. I have been trying to get a refund since then. AVAS wants pictures--not able to since my wife works in a very secure facility and camera phones are not permitted. Stay clear of both Yellow Rose and AVAS. Terrible product and service.

    On February 11, 2019, my sweet Husband took to the world wide web to order flowers for me for Valentines Day. Unfortunately for both of us he came across Avas Flowers. He saw a beautiful bouquet with balloons and decided to order those for me. He was so excited, it was the first time in 12 years he had been able to do this for me. He told me about them on the 13th, that I should be expecting them at work. As I waited for them all day on Valentines day I started to get concerned around 3:30pm when they hadn't shown up. He tried to call them and was put on hold for over 20 minutes.

    As I started to research the company to my dismay I learned they were not a florist here in Arkansas, they were actually just some call center in New Jersey who took orders and tried to have them filled at a much cheaper rate than what they charged. I sent email after email to them asking for a refund. Finally on February 19, 11 days after my husband had placed his order a gentleman show up at my work with "Valentines Flowers". They were nothing like what my Husband had ordered. No beautiful Purple vase, no balloons. I refused the balloons, who wants them at this point. But they refuse to give us a refund. My husband paid them $126 for flowers that were never correctly delivered. Please stay away from this company!! they are not a Florist. You will be very disappointed.

    My college son googled LOCAL flowers and Avas made it sound as if they were located near his girlfriend’s college. They advertised same day delivery if ordered before 2pm. Given that he ordered on Valentine’s Day, we were not surprised to get a response stating that if they couldn’t get them to arrive on the 14th they would be guaranteed to be delivered on the 15th. He ordered $126 worth of flowers and gifts for his girlfriend at 12:35 on Valentine’s Day thinking they would be delivered on Valentine’s Day or on the 15th the latest. It is now the 20th. She has not received her flowers or gifts yet. However, my credit card was charged almost immediately. Now they are offering to redeliver a week late!

    Avas Flowers will take your money, then submit your order to a real florist near to the recipient, making sure that they keep some of your money for themselves. It is always better to directly telephone a real florist. Real florists have a network with each other all over the country. Avas Flowers is an online company that cleverly poses as a local florist. They are just the middleman taking advantage of people. You will waste money buying thru them. Their customer service is worse than non-existent because they will lie to you. It took me a lot of time & effort to get to the bottom of their lies. One of their customer service agents accidentally let it slip who the local florist was & I contacted them directly.

    I learned that Avas Flowers messed up the order by failing to use the full customer name. But they took the money, alright. I had to make numerous phone calls over several days to learn that. Meanwhile, again & again, Avas Flowers lied to me that they had received confirmation from the local florist that the delivery had been made. Because I was able to personally talk to the local florist, I learned that Avas Flowers was telling me bold-faced lies.

    I am so unhappy with my purchase. I chose the "as shown" option instead of small, just in case, so there wouldn't be any surprises. However, when the flowers arrived it was NOT what was "shown". The photo clearly shows a lovely bouquet of at least 8 roses that I can count from the photo, plus LOTS of other little filler flowers and green leaves. I ordered the Vivid Violet and White for your reference. What my daughter received for her birthday was a sad looking attempt at a bouquet with four (4) roses and a few filler flowers and a bunch of green leaves. I feel like, since I was far away from the store and ordering online and since it was for someone other than myself I was taken advantage of. The "as shown" flowers were $68, so I spent $99 in total with the three (3) balloons I added on, it was a horrible set up. I WILL NEVER USE AVAS FLOWERS AGAIN.

I order 5 arrangements for the ladies in my office to be delivered on Feb 14th by 5pm. 1 of the five was delivered on Thurs (14th). I called and was told the others were out for delivery. Fri (15th) 1 was delivered. I called again and could not reach anyone. Automated system said I had to have a callback but then said no callbacks were available. I called the sales department and they were able to provide me with a direct line with the customer service department. I was continually told they were out for delivery. I finally got a young lady on the phone that told me 1 arrangement was sent to one designer and the other 4 were sent to another one and it was possible they thought it was duplicate orders. She contacted the designer and said that is what happened even though they all had a different order number.

    I was again told they would be delivered on Fri (15th). Monday (18th) still three missing. I called again and was told they would be delivered that day. Tuesday (19th) still no delivery at 1pm so I called again and was told that they would be delivered today or I could call back for a refund. The arrangement that was delivered on Thursday was dead by Monday and had to be thrown out and none of the arrangements delivered were what I ordered. After approx. nine calls and five days late they were all delivered. I spent $225 and was given $65 store credit for my troubles.

    Ordered large arrangement for wife and daughters on the morning of 2/14/19 as Avas advertised "Same Day Delivery". Delivery didnt show and couldn't get customer service on the phone. Next day (2/15) still couldn't get anyone on the phone - as I returned from work, received a text that order had been delivered and signed for by my wife. Well, no it hadn't...called again and couldn't get anyone on the phone. Finally, the morning of the 16th, I spoke to customer service and they said it was signed for by my wife. So, I was told they would have to speak with the local shop that made the delivery (they wouldn't tell me who that was) and they would get back with me. I waited all day and heard nothing.

    Called them again and got the same story, the local shop had not returned their call and they would not issue a refund for the order ($117) because it was delivered and signed which is nothing but a lie. After a couple of heated arguments, I hung up and filed a complaint with the BBB of New Jersey first thing this morning. So, my doorbell rings this afternoon and it's a delivery from a local shop and it was the original order which looked like a child put it together. Needless to say, I refused it and sent it away. About an hour later, I received a call from Avas asking, me if I would like another order or a full refund. Refund moron!!! So, I get an email confirmation for a full refund. Not sure what triggered but we'll see if it goes through. Another needless to say, Avas Flowers is extremely shady!

The response I received said someone had made contact with me to say my flowers were not available but that an upgraded version of two dozen roses would be sent when available. No one ever made contact with me regarding this. I replied to the email that I do not want the flowers and to refund my money.

They substituted little cheap grocery store filler flowers for the small roses too. It was awful. They sent me a message that the flowers had been delivered when they hadn't yet.

    Hours later when they did arrive it looked like someone ran to Walmart, bought a cheap bouquet and stuffed it in a little tiny vase. Customer service offered me a balloon and $10 gift card to appease me. Seriously? As if I would EVER use them again! So stupid! I told the rude, arrogant, dismissive, smart ** customer service rep that was not acceptable. She asked what I feel would be acceptable. I told her to pick up the crap pile they delivered and bring her the flowers I ordered! (I didn't say crap because at this point I was furious.)

Monday, Feb. 11th friend texted picture of arrangement received. Not at all as pictured in website. Contacted Avas Flowers via their contact form and by phone with pictures of arrangement. Received an email from them on Tuesday, Feb. 12th offering 10% off and $10 store credit. I emailed them later that day declining their offer and wanted a replacement arrangement sent. Received an email later stating that a delivery was made. Checked with my friend, she said no new delivery made. Contacted Avas Flowers daily via email (response to their email offer) and by phone.

    I finally get in touch with customer service vis phone on Saturday, Feb. 16th. Customer service representative said, “The arrangement received is as website picture. It contains the same “recipe” of flowers as the website. This case is closed as the $10 store credit has been applied to your account. I am looking at it as we speak!” I said, “The 10% has not been applied to my credit card and I have declined this offer and asked for a replacement arrangement as stated in your customer satisfaction policy. I requested a replacement arrangement within 24 hours as indicated in your policy! I am not satisfied with the arrangement as well as the delivery service! I have been patient in trying to rectify this issues and have gotten ignored all week. I would like $30 off my credit card bill because I will not be ordering from this company again!” She offered $20 off of my credit card. I declined and told her I will be disputing my charge.

    On Valentine’s Day, I received an email saying that an arrangement had been delivered to me, but it had not. I called Avas and was told to call back, as everyone was busy with calls. I received the arrangement the next day and was told that the delivery man had gotten sick and couldn’t finish deliveries the day before. I shouldn’t have, but I accepted the delivery. I didn’t realize until I looked at Avas’ website and saw that what my husband had ordered was not what I received. I wish my husband had looked at reviews before ordering, but he thought he was buying from a local florist. This is understandable because Avas comes up first in a Google search of local florists. We will never deal with Avas again. They are not trustworthy and certainly are unethical. Expensive lesson learned.

    I placed an online order for Valentine's Day for an arrangement to be delivered to my daughter at her job. She lives in NYC. I followed up with a phone call where I spoke to Manny a customer service rep to make sure they would be delivered by 5:30 pm and I would pay extra if need be. He assured me they would be delivered. Well it is now February 16th and still no flowers. They never called me or emailed me to say they were not delivered. I have tried to get through to customer service to no avail and my emails did not go through. This has been a nightmare... I would never ever use this unprofessional inconsiderate florist.

    I’m reading a lot of bad reviews on here that describe my experience. They promised delivery on Vday. Then I get an invoice that expected delivery two days after. Called 5 or 6 times and it prompted me for a return phone call the next day. When I finally got a hold of a customer support person they put me on hold and then they marked the ticket resolved. I ordered them on Wednesday the 13th and it’s Saturday the 16th. Still no flowers. Honestly, it’s not worth it to me to keep trying.

    I spent $142 on February 13th to have roses delivered on February 14th. After I submitted my order I received an email that said they would not be able to deliver until the 15th because that particular Arrangement was not available at that time but could deliver on the 15th. I called back and spend another $141 for another Arrangement that was supposedly available and could be delivered on the 14th.

    Every time you call the number to talk to someone they transfer you to an automated system that tells you all people are busy and the computer says type in your number for call back. After you type in the number it says call back is not available. Every time you call it's at least 15 minutes wait before anyone picks up from the first number and same wait time for a computer on the second number. I called another florists to send an arrangement the day after Valentine's Day. Avas flowers is an absolute 100% scam. It's a company based out of New Jersey. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.

    I wish I would have read the reviews before ordering from Avas Flowers. Ordered flowers for Valentine's Day delivery. Received email confirmation that flowers were delivered. They were not. Then received a text later that they were just delivered. They were not. We received a phone call at 6:30 from the driver trying to deliver the flowers. My wife and everyone in the office had already left for the day. Tried for 3 days (including Valentine's Day) to call Avas, but couldn't get through. When I finally got through, I spoke to an unsympathetic person over the phone (he must have been receiving these types of calls all day) who would only offer a partial refund - but couldn't tell me how much.

    My husband called Avas flowers on February 13 and asked if one dozen yellow roses could be delivered to me at work that day. He was told that they could fill his request for yellow roses, and that they would arrive at my workplace in 2-3 hours. When he double checked that they knew the address, he was told yes, they knew right where we were. The roses never showed up that day, and he was disappointed when I came home empty handed. The next day he told me that he had ordered something for me for Valentine's Day, and asked me to call to see if it was there. I was more than a little annoyed as I was not scheduled to work that day, or the next, and it would mean having to drive 40 miles round trip to pick up my gift, and I really had other things to do. But he was so disappointed that I decided to just do it.

    As it turned out, there was no need, and it was a good thing I called, because they never arrived on the 14th either. David called and was told "they're on the truck, and will be there in 2-3 hours". Sound familiar? So now it's the 15th, and I call my work and leave a message to call if they come in. Dave calls Avas again, is put on hold for about 15 minutes, and gets cut off. Now he's more mad than disappointed. So I take the numbers and come home because he's also trying to work while dealing with this nonsense.

    I call, finally get someone, who "checks", and tells me, and you can't make this up... "They're on the truck and will be there in 2-3 hours". I tell him we've heard this before, and that we just want a refund. He says he can't do that because they are "already on the truck, and being delivered", but that they have credited us $19.80 for our inconvenience. Where they came up with that amount I have no idea, but they had charged us $99.09 for the roses, so that still leaves $79.29 for flowers we still haven't gotten. I checked with the bank who told me to file a dispute with the company, and if that isn't resolved they would take it from there. I emailed them, and a few hours later got a call from work that the roses had arrived.

    So I drove the 40 miles round trip to pick them up, and boy am I glad I did. There was a box, with a vase, and two dozen faded pink roses (2 doz since they apparently didn't have yellow after telling Dave they did) with a vase. I figured they'd be in tubes with a little water... NO, just 2 dozen poor sad faded roses with bare stems in a box that had presumably been shipped 3 days earlier. There was also a card which he dictated, and they totally screwed up. "Happy valentine day I love you soooo much, aLL my best days." What??? How about a capital V on Valentine(s) day, and days??? Um...maybe DAVE??? I brought the roses home, put them in warm water with flower food, and hope they rally enough to get a couple of days out of them. And...we will NEVER order from AVAS again. (Nor will anyone at the bank, the store I work at, the store Dave works at, or anyone we encounter).

    ONE STAR ONLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE IT TO SUBMIT!!! I called the day before Valentine's Day, after searching for a 'florist in Pasadena, CA'. I should have known to hang up when it took about 25 rings to get an answer, but unfortunately I did not. My first question was 'am I in time to get flowers delivered tomorrow?' The girl on the other end of the phone assured me there was plenty of time. I ordered an arrangement and even upgraded to candy and balloons. My wife is in Pasadena on business and I am in Riverside, so this was an important transaction for me. We got through the order and the woman asks what time my wife is off work so they get there in time? I tell her 3:30 pm, in order to be sure the flowers are there well before she is actually off at 6 pm. She says 'great, we will have them there by 2 pm.'

    We complete the transaction and I get a confirmation email almost immediately with the order, an order number and other details on how to contact Avas. The next day I'm a little nervous when I don't get a confirmation by 2 pm, 3 pm, 4 pm or 5 pm. Finally, at 5:45 pm I get confirmation that the flowers were delivered at 5:36 pm. My wife calls me to say goodnight at 9:30 pm and I ask her about the flowers. Guess what? She never got any flowers! Her work location has multiple cameras so she has her night manager review video for the 1 in front and back of the time stated the flowers arrived. No surprise, they were never delivered.

    I have tried the customer service number several times, only to be put on hold for about 8 minutes. Then I am told that the only way to get through to customer service is to schedule a call-back. The first time I ignore this hoping to get through, but after a few minutes the attendant voice says "sorry, I did not get your reply, goodbye" and hangs up. I call back and this time choose the call-back option. The automated voice says "sorry, call-back is not available at this time" and hangs up on me again! The people belong in jail, not out there taking our money and screwing up our events (funerals, memorials, weddings, etc). I hope someone gets as hot about this as I am so we can get someone arrested and have fraud charges filed. This is **.

As embarrassing as it was, and poor of a reflection on me and all my sisters that this gifts was coming from was, we called and explained the issue to my uncle, and promised him that the upgraded bouquet would be there the following week, as promised by Avas Flowers.

    It's been 9 days since the promised NEW delivery date, and in passing, my Uncle tells me, "BTW, the flowers never arrived. It's ok, it's the thought that counts." Unbelievable!! I WILL NEVER use Avas Flowers again, and I advise you to be warned of the poor service. It's rather embarrassing to promise flowers for a special occasion only to have the ball dropped TWICE! When I called to report the issue, the status of my order was simply "rescheduled." They charged my account, and never delivered. Never again!

    Went on website since it is "same day" delivery. It was Valentine's day so I was expecting so difficulty. Other sites were honest about not being able to deliver on the same day. The site says free delivery so I was surprised that after I entered all the day a $25 "service charge" showed up on an order which I thought was $80. Not happy but accepted the service charge since it was Valentine's day. Placed the order at 9:13 am. Received an email at 10:25 am saying they would deliver two days late. I called them within 2 minutes of getting the email to cancel the order. They said they could cancel the order but I would still have to pay the $25 service charge.

    In summary, I contacted the company within 1.3 hours of making the order to cancel the order. The company had not done anything about the flowers yet (since they were not going to deliver for two days). They refused to give a refund. This company is aware that Valentine's day is difficult but they did not place any warnings on their site (unlike the competitors).

    I recently ordered flowers from Avas Flowers. Their website leads you to believe they are a local flower shop in Covington, LA. They are not. They also claim that they have same day delivery. They do not. Their reviews on their website also show customer satisfaction. That is all a scam. They are one of those 1800 flowers websites with customer service overseas.

    I ordered flowers the day before my friend's birthday for delivery the next day. They were delivered a day late, and the flowers were not even close to being what I requested. They were a cheap, ugly, wilted arrangement. I was very disappointed. If you want a pretty flower arrangement, call a local flower shop. DO NOT ORDER FROM ONE OF THESE FLOWER SWEAT SHOPS. They call in a cheap order and they make a profit from your order. I expected BETTER than what I ordered since they didn't deliver on the date promised. If you see Avas Flowers pop up, do not order from them. There is terrible or no customer service and no record of your order. RUN!!!

    Recently ordered flowers from Avas. After completing the order I was bothered by the $17+ service charge after they bragged about free delivery. When I tried to get my refund on the same day, just hours later, they said they were not only going to keep the service charge, they were going to keep the sales tax as well. Every refund I have ever received has included the sales tax. Their marketing is the old bait and switch promising sale prices on way overpriced flowers, then getting back all their money with charges you don't know about until you are about to hit purchase.

But at 7:45, 15 minutes before wake ended the flowers miraculously showed up. I was pissed beyond words.

    This place took my order on Saturday, charged me full price, and told me floral arrangement would be delivered at 10:30 am or before on Sunday for a 1:00 pm funeral service. Then called me at 9:30 am on Sunday to say they could not deliver in time for the service. Offered a discount and additional plant for after the service. Needless to say I cancelled altogether. Did I forget to mention that I never received the receipt from the purchase or cancellation.

    I am beyond outraged and thoroughly disenchanted with this so called business. This is already a dreadful day, and this level of aggravation is the icing on the cake. There is nothing this place could offer to make this wrong right. Although, them going out of business would make me feel a bit better. This place is not reliable. I do not trust that they really are a floral establishment. I really believe it may be a vape shop, if they have flowers and plants they are probably smoking or dry vaping them. What a bunch of sticks! In addition, if I could give negative stars I surely would. This place doesn't deserve to exist. The only stars it deserves are the ones they see after smoking the flowers.

They have me call and have my mom change plans so she can be home on Friday. On Friday I receive an email saying that my floral arrangement is not available any longer and will be substituted with a similar one on Tuesday. Now I am frustrated so I make a call. They inform me that the delivery is scheduled for Tuesday and is being delivered from Salt Lake over 200 miles away. So much for local. I ask to cancel the order and they offer to upgrade to something else. I decline and ask to be contacted by a supervisor. Two weeks later and no contact.

    I will never order flowers or any product from them. My best friend's brother passed and wanted to send flowers because I couldn't be there. Avas Flowers assured me that flowers would arrive an hour before the wake. I then receive an urgent text saying, "Please call us." I was told the driver had an accident and was unable to deliver. I ask for a refund but they assured me it would arrive before funeral which was the next day. Once again, I receive a call an hour and a half after funeral is in progress saying the designer couldn't get the flower done in time. Well if the flower was done then already what do you mean... This only tells me that they didn't have it ready from the beginning and was just buying time but it backfired. Just know you are ordering at your own risk with this company.

    After 6 week the orchid plant I purchased from Avas Flowers died - it was well taken care of. I spoke to 3 rude customer service managers and they only offered me a $10 credit on a future order. I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with their policy and service levels and would not want other consumers to be disappointed in their lack of empathy.

    I have ordered from this company in the past and never had a problem. For the last two weeks I ordered to order this from them and someone ordered one basket a small one and I ordered one by upgrading it. The two of them arrived in the same place and they were the same size. I had paid $20 more for my order and the other person basket look the same. That's a horrible that there was no difference in the upgrade. The second one was for a funeral. When the people receive the free the flowers were practically dying. It was disgraceful. I will never do business with them again. Very embarrassing.

    PLEASE AVOID USING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST BECAUSE THEY WILL RUIN YOUR SPECIAL OCCASION. I chose this flower shop because they were literally 2 blocks from the recipient address. The order was placed at 12:30 p.m and they guaranteed delivery by 4 p.m the same day. It's been a week and no delivery of the flowers, no call, I called the store and the phone line was too busy for a live person so I scheduled a callback and no call was received. Almost a full week later when I finally am able to speak to a live person to cancel my order, the only thing they offered as a courtesy was an apology call to the recipient and they refuse to have someone in management call me back to handle my complaint. A true disgrace!

    I wish I would have looked at reviews prior to ordering flowers. I ordered a bright birthday bouquet for my aunt on 1/8/19, to be delivered on 1/10/19. I received a call saying the designer did not have the flowers in stock but that it would be the same or better. I could not understand the person who called me because of the broken English. But what I did understand is that the flowers would be the same colors just different kinds. I said that was fine and if I was not satisfied, I would contact them. The flowers that were delivered were all white daisies, with a little bit of purple alstroemeria and some red carnations in a clear vase with a birthday balloon. I ordered a lime green vase, magenta gerbera daisies, orange gerbera daisies, yellow carnations, some bright greenery.

    I contacted customer service with photos of what was ordered and photo of what was actually delivered. The person who responded said, "Yes, that is incorrect and we will get back to you." I got a second email the next day, saying that since I okayed the substitution there is nothing else to do. Keep in mind this bouquet was over $71 dollars. That is completely ridiculous for what I got. I am so upset and will never, ever order flowers from them again. I urge anyone who needs flowers, GO ELSEWHERE, you will be disappointed in the flowers, and the customer service.

    Wish I could have a minus five star review! Ordered custom bouquet 2 weeks in advance and was assured it would be done. On day of, when delivery was due, waited half an hour and continually checked trackers on status. After 2 hrs of calling and emailing, finally got a person who informed me the flowers hadn't gone out because didn't have enough red flowers and wanted to substitute colors. At that point wanted to know how many of the colors I requested 2 weeks previously, they had in stock. No one knows and no one would have alerted me, my birthday gift would have never been received. More than disappointed and will never recommend this florist or use them again. And have told extended family in Alpine to boycott this florist at all costs.

    I ordered flowers on January 4th for a birthday gift. I selected a lovely brightly colored fuchsia and purple arrangement that was beautiful online. My sister happened to send me a photo of a lackluster, pale, scant flower arrangement that did not look even close to what I ordered. In fact it was flat and in whites and light colored. I contacted customer service department and actually sent them a photo of what I ordered and what was delivered. Their response was it was equal and would do nothing to correct this order.

    I ordered flowers when my husband’s aunt passed away. Immediately after placing the order I called to make sure that they would be able to fulfill it. They assured me that they would be able to provide what I ordered. The day of the funeral they called 5 minutes before the delivery time to tell me that they could not provide the flowers ordered and asked if they could substitute a potted plant. I agreed to accept the substitution but was not happy about it. Ten minutes before the funeral service they called back to say that they couldn’t deliver the plant on time and asked for an alternate address. I could not believe it! I immediately canceled the order and demanded a refund. I will NEVER use Avas Flowers again!

    I have never had such poor service from a florist in my life. When you go on their website they show false reviews making you think they are a 3 or 4 star florist. Their pricing is also fake. Once you select a flower arrangement they indicate free shipping, but when you go to check out they add a substantial handling fee. Also, they say they have same day delivery, but then they called and said they had a problem with their delivery truck and it would definitely be delivered the next day with an upgraded flower arrangement but then the next day it was again delayed. The flowers were not upgrade. They said they would call and let them know the flowers would be late, which they never did call. Stay far away from Avas Flowers.

    I ordered flower to be delivered on 1/10/2019 to my Aunt. I received a text message and an email stating the flowers with a card I had paid extra for had been delivered to her that afternoon. When I spoke to her later that evening she told me she did not receive anything from me. I called Avas this morning and was told the messages are on a automated service. The order was somehow missed and they would be happy to send an upgraded order today. I told them they needed to be sent yesterday as that was her birthday and I wanted them to credit my account and send them as well to make it right. I was told that this is not the policy. All they could do was upgrade the flowers.

    My concern is that with an automated service if you don’t check with who you send them to you never really know if they have been delivered and that is horrible business. The customer service person said that was the best the company would do. Now it really makes me question all my other orders from them as some were sent to funeral homes. I guess I will never know if those actually were delivered as said through the “automated messages“ as the agent explained to me. They have no accountability when it comes to the customer service relationship. I will never use this company again for this reason. Remember if it says it was delivered you really can’t be certain unless you speak to the person it was delivered to. As we all know sometimes that is not always the case.

    NEVER AGAIN!! I needed same day delivery to a funeral home. Since our neighbor's daughter passed away in Florida and we live in Ohio, we did not find out until last minute. She was flown home for services. I ordered from this company ONLY because they advertise like they are in the same town. THEY ARE NOT. I needed same day delivery to Perrysburg Ohio. When googling your town, they come up with that town advertised on their website like they are located there, tricking you. The flowers were supposed to be delivered YESTERDAY. They were not. Website says "same day flower delivery". My confirmation email even has yesterday's date for delivery.

    Today I get an email stating they will be delivered today. They advertise "FREE DELIVERY". DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! Yes, you get "Free Delivery". THEN, when checking out, they tack on a $15.00 "Handling Fee". LOL. Isn't that paying for delivery? I tried clicking the link on their page for help since NOBODY WILL ANSWER THE PHONE. I got an email back saying the message was not deliverable. I called back again and hit option 1 this time for a new order thinking that may prompt someone to answer. A recording message said nobody was available and hung up on me!!! I called back and pushed a different option. A recorded message offered to leave my number for a call back. I did.

I called each day to complain and asked repeatedly to speak to someone that was a manager or owner. I was always put on hold for long periods of time. Wednesday afternoon I asked for a refund and it was denied. They said in tracking the flowers that they were denied (on Wednesday). I asked who denied them, but they could not give me a name. I assured them that my daughter had not spoken to anyone nor denied the flowers. I was told my problem was with UPS and not them.

    Helped my brother order flowers for his GF's birthday. They live in different towns so I used Google to find a LOCAL FLORIST in her town. Avas was the first to pop up. Just for clarification Avas is NOT a local florist. They affiliate with local florists to get the job done and charge outrageous fees to make up for it. I ordered a DELUXE beautiful bouquet that was bursting with color in the advertising photo of guidelines of what to expect and added an orange vase - which I paid extra for. NOT what I received.

    What I received was A SMALL bouquet that had 1/2 dozen pink roses in it that looked like they were from Wal-Mart, carnations and mainly GREENERY! 49.99 for greenery and 6 roses-basically. What was received was NOTHING like what was advertised, it was so small it was embarrassing!!! But when I emailed customer service about this they covered their backside saying that's part of their substitution policy and according to the pictures I sent the order was "filled to value and recipe". I was refunded for the vase I did not receive and I asked to be refunded the difference between a small bouquet and a DELUXE bouquet. What I got and what I paid for. My request was denied and I was given a 10% discount which does not equal the difference. EMBARRASSED, DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!!

    I ordered flowers several days prior to a Celebration of Life. I waited for the grieving family to return from the service in Sheridan, WY. When they told me they had not received the flowers for the service, I was disappointed. AVAS took my $120.00 and said the delivery would be made by 10 am the day of the Service. The service began at 11 am and the flowers were supposedly delivered at 11:20 am. The family took pictures of the arrangements received. Mine was not among them. Very frustrating, when they refused to refund anything to me. Kept stating they were delivered, but never provided any proof. If they were delivered AFTER the ceremony had been in progress, not sure if the grieving family even got notice of their receipt, since they told me they did not have them listed, nor a picture of them was provided by the Kane Funeral Home.

    I viewed their website picked an arrangement, called them, requested they honor the 10% off they requested. They informed me there was an $18 +/- fee and it would be delivered by 3 if at all possible. It was charged on my card, I got an email confirmation. Then I received three phone calls asked me to call back, and two emails asking for my phone survey. I wrote back via email asking the holdup and was told it was due to my not filling out my survey. So I filled out my phone survey, asking them to leave a VM as to any other concerns. I received more phone calls as I was working it went to VM. I was able to answer one and was told.

    SCAM part - They wanted $10.00 dollars and needed my authorization to charge it, due to the carrier wanted to charge them $10.00. I told them that was illegal and I did not consent and was told they were not demanding just asking. I let them know I would be writing negative reviews and reporting them to BBB for this scam. I asked if they would still be sending out my flowers and was told yes. I also wrote an email to them explaining all this and never received a message back, my flowers were NEVER delivered.

    I called Avas flowers on Friday morning January 4, 2019 to place an order for two separate sympathy flowers for my Aunt’s funeral service, that was to take place Saturday January 5, 2019, 1:00 pm at Worley Funeral Home in Fairmont, North Carolina. First, I thought it was a local florist, and did not realize it was not until I was hit with an 18-dollar service charge, having dealt with this type of service before and never had a problem, decided to go ahead with the orders anyway. I was assured by the representative that the orders were being placed earlier enough that I would have same day delivery service.

    I get to the funeral that Saturday around 12 noon and there are no flowers. I proceeded to call Avas and was told the flowers would be delivered in 20 minutes. I did not see the flowers until we got to the burial and then there was only the one flower. Later in talking with the funeral home, I was told the flower was not delivered until about 1:20 and they did not want to interrupt the services, so they did not bring them into the chapel and that it was only the one arrangement. The other arrangement was not delivered.

    I never received an email or phone call in reference to there being any issues or problems. While I was told I would be refunded for the flower, this was very troubling and disappointing to our family. I understand things happen in which we have no control over, I feel their service was just unprofessional and unacceptable. I will never use this service again. I only wished I had read some of these reviews beforehand.

    I had requested the My Sun, Moon and Stars arrangement to be sent to the funeral service of my friend who just died of cancer. I had been told that the yellow roses would be replaced with white ones, and I specifically confirmed that there would be blue glass, as my friend who just died loved blue glass, that was the entire reason I chose this particular arrangement. When the flowers arrived, not only were the roses yellow, but the glass was not blue, it was a clear vase. There only appears to be one lily and just a few pink flowers, not the blue/purple flowers from the picture on the website.

    Baby's breath appears to have been used to give the appearance of a full bouquet, but to be honest the bouquets I can go buy from Walmart for $9.99 look better than this one, and I paid $66. What is especially disappointing though is that on the day of my friend's funeral, I was hoping to have sent a touching symbol that would be of value to the family - symbolized by the blue glass that my friend loved, and instead they got just some flowers, that lacked any meaning.
