    I ordered flowers two days before a friends birthday. The flowers were not delivered on the Sunday but said they would deliver them the following day. Two days go by and still no flowers. They said something about sending them out through UPS but could not contact the driver. I am beyond frustrated and they never got the flowers. DON'T EVER ORDER FROM HERE!

    Be careful! Spent $115 for a green plant in a white ceramic planter. The recipient received a cheap mum flower in a cheap basket. I live in Arizona and the gift was sent to North Carolina. Two days later I received a picture of the gift and saw it was totally the wrong thing, and a much cheaper thing than I had ordered. Called them. They said I only had 24 hours to register a complaint so I was too late. Really??? They saw the picture and it was more than obvious that they had ripped me off. They claim to be a local florist but that is a lie. I have no idea where this "half dead mum" came from, but it was not "local" in North Carolina. I truly believe they calculated that I was so far away from the delivery house that I would never know that they sent a cheap, cheap mum. I don't believe they deserve one star, and I believe their company is dishonest and is stealing from the customer. Save your money!!

    Please, please, if you're reading this use any other flower delivery service. You're better off throwing your money, time and flowers out a window than using Avas. I ordered flowers for a sick friend in NYC... After two days and 3 calls they left flowers on the reception counter and left and my friend was already discharged hours before. Now that may be the local flower store issue but the next 13 calls (yes, I said 13 calls) to Avas were a nightmare! If you lucky enough to get anyone who understands English, they put you on hold for 15 min and then disconnect you.

    They say they put notes, where do they put them who knows because you have to explain the issue over and over. I wanted my money back but only received a credit, which I didn't want to ever talk to them again but I went around again and again getting them my friends home address, put on hold, disconnected or given to a supervisor who didn't understand and told me my flowers were delivered already. Really it was worse than a nightmare about falling from a plane! Wish I could share this across the internet so they never make another penny and close their site.

    I ordered flowers to be delivered to a family friend- they did not get delivered on the correct day, even though I got an email stating that they had been delivered. I got credited $15- so I tried to get another delivery a couple weeks later. The $15 did not go through, so I had to call them. The worker, Diana, stated that she had to give me her discount because the credit still didn't go through but the price was much higher than it was when I was doing the order on the computer- I think I may have gotten $5 off, which is ridiculous. And the flowers STILL DID NOT GET DELIVERED ON THE CORRECT DAY!! I'm so done with this company- two strikes and nope!!!

    I bought a plant for a friends funeral. The confirmation email said the arrangement would be delivered to the funeral home before the funeral. The plant was delivered several hours late. (What's the point of sending something?) The plant didn't have my name on the card. Once again, what's the point of sending something. I complained via email and never got a reply.

    I ordered flowers for my father's funeral via telephone. Customer service assured me that the flowers would be delivered by 10:00AM for the funeral service. The confirmation email said delivery would be before 12:00 noon. I immediately called customer service and they again assured me that the flowers would be on time for the service. They even sent an email ensuring the flowers would be delivered prior to 10:00AM. They did not deliver until 11:30 when the service was almost over. The florist that delivered the flowers said that Avas told them to deliver before 12:00. Clearly Avas will tell you anything to get an order but will not follow through and deliver ON TIME.

    I ordered a flower arrangement from them based upon the picture in their web portal. What was pictured was full of colorful flowers, what was delivered was literally half the size and mostly greens, not flowers. Clearly bait and switch. I contacted them about this and they said if I read their policy it allows them to substitute and make changes as they see fit. Basically, doesn’t matter what you order, they decide what you get. Do not use this company, unless of course you want to get taken!

    I ordered flowers to be delivered to my daughter in law, I realized I was ordering later than normal but was assured if I paid an additional 16.00 it would absolutely be delivered that day. When it wasn't I called customer service to get a refund for that 16 dollars and was told that was for something else not guaranteed delivery. I specifically repeated back that the 16 dollars was to guarantee delivery that day. "Oh yes" The flowers are supposed to arrive today. I am praying they are worth the 85 dollars I spent on them. I feel bad for the little gal I spoke with today as I kind of shot the messenger. Very very frustrated and wish I would have checked out the reviews of this company before ordering. I won't make that mistake again. Do not order from this company.

    I recently ordered flowers for a co-worker's father's funeral. It was done long distance so we relied on the online photo. Big mistake! The only thing the flowers that were delivered had in common with the picture was the color. We expected a similar white vase, not the black plastic bucket. There were no greens and no ribbon. When I called I was put on an extended hold then told the flowers met the recipe. Not sure what that meant but take my warning, Save yourself embarrassment: CALL ANYONE ELSE! NOT AVAS FLOWERS!

    1-star rating is too generous. Avas Flowers is BY FAR the WORST flower delivery service I have ever used! I ordered an arrangement to be sent to my ill grandmother same day and spend over $70. What was delivered was appalling and it was delivered late. None of the flowers I ordered were used in the arrangement and it came in a box with no vase even though I purchased a vase. The color palette was not even correct. When I emailed customer service to complain, they told me that I would have had to make a complaint no later than 24 HOURS POST DELIVERY. Seriously?!?! That is not even a reasonable timeframe. Just don't bother wasting your money here.

    I am sharing about a floral arrangement that I purchased for my grandmother. I specifically bought a large for $70 from Avas Flowers. To my incredible surprise when I saw my grandmother's flowers it was what we would purchase for $10 at a local grocery store. It look nothing like the picture. I even bought a $10 arrangement from a grocery store. When I got to my grandmothers and I put it next to the ones from the floral delivery.

    I contacted Avas flowers and told them that I was disappointed with the size. They also promised me same-day delivery and they delivered two days later. For the same day delivery, they even lied and said that the flowers were out for delivery. However, I know that the local floral shop that made the arrangement is not even open on Saturday. So they actually lied. Avas Flowers Insulted me by offering me 10% off my next order. Going forward, I would never order from them again. If this was a large, I think the small would probably be two carnations!

    I attempted to order through the Avas Flowers website so that I can use my 20% off code. After entering the code, the discount was only for 10%, so I contacted their customer service department. My order subtotaled $48.98, not including their $15.95 service fee and $4 tax. After the rep supposedly got done “taking care” of the 20% discount, my total came out to $63.42. I then asked where is the 20% applied and after being put on hold a few times, I was told that the arrangement I chose was already 20% off.

    I disputed that my coupon should apply, to which the manager got on the phone and said they don’t give out 20% coupons. I mentioned that I received the coupon card with my flower arrangement 2 months ago and it states “20% OFF YOUR NEXT ORDER”. The manager didn’t believe me, so I told them to cancel my order. The manager also sounded like the rep I was initially speaking with. Fishy! Also, their service fee as stated on their order page isn’t $15.95, but according to the rep I spoke with, it’s $18.99. I am not happy with how they handled this. I wouldn’t even give them 1 star. Poor customer service!!!

First I did not receive an invoice, I requested one online, I immediately received an order number and nothing else. I called them on delivery day because my flowers did not arrive by selected day. I was hung up on, lied to and placed on holds and my flowers were not delivered. In all my years of ordering flowers, I am shocked at their lack in customer service and lack of sincerity.

    I ordered 6 red roses and 6 white roses for my 92 year-old widowed mother in remembrance of what would have been a 75th wedding anniversary. The delivery was made after 5 p.m. My mom lives in an apartment complex for seniors. She was on the phone when the delivery person buzzed her apartment. She automatically pushed the button to open the door and then panicked not knowing who she allowed into the building. The next day I saw what was delivered and was very disappointed. There were 12 red roses stuck in a vase. The vase was pretty but there was no filler of baby's breath or other foliage. Just the roses and a ribbon. The red and white I requested had significance that was totally lost. I was charged $90 for what I could have gone to Walmart and done for less than $10. I will not use or recommend Avas again.

    The flowers I ordered were $39.00. My card was charged $66.00. I have called them several times and they tell me the same thing..I can't cancel my order because they already ordered the flowers from another company..This so called company needs to be shut down by the Better Business Bureau because it's a scam. All they do is take your money and order from other flower shops. That's why they charge so much... Please don't order from this company.

    I ordered flowers for my girlfriend on Wednesday 11/13. No phone calls, no emails that the flowers had been delivered. The website tracking status marked that the flowers are delivered while my girlfriend said she had not received anything. I called the company the next day and asked them what happened. They said that the florist made an attempt to deliver once but not successful but they did not understand why it marked delivered when it was not. They told me that I needed to wait 3 hours for the possible solution from the florist. => I did not receive any calls or emails by the end of the date.

    I made another attempt to call on Monday, today, and asked for the refund. First they said the same thing that the delivery was attempted. 5 min later, they said they couldn't get hold of the florist to verify. 10 min after, they said they delivered 3 times and it was last attempted on Friday which was not the day I ordered it for. 1 hour conversation with multiple answers that not matching at all.

    The first arrangement I ordered arrived on time and looking great. The second arrangement I ordered was the very same arrangement as the first but larger, so paid more money for it. The second arrangement arrived and was much smaller than the first and was not as vibrant. The flowers were suppose to be bright yellow but looked like little balls of green instead. Contacted the company & they said they could do nothing because I should have contacted them within 24 hrs of their arrival, which was impossible since the funeral was out of state. They said they would give me a $15 credit toward my next purchase but what good does that do me. I'm unlikely to use them again because of the service and the fact that they didn't try to correct their handling of the problem.

    My mom lives 450 miles away, and we could not attend her 81st birthday party, so we ordered a huge bouquet of flowers and a bunch of balloons to be delivered on the Saturday morning before her party. The delivery never showed up and we never received any call saying there was an issue. When the order had not been delivered by 4:30, we started making calls to Avas Flowers to try to find out what was going on & where the flowers were. We kept getting disconnected by their "customer service" system when we put in the order number or phone number (the only 2 options).

    We finally connected with someone when we called their "sales" phone number. We demanded that they connect us directly to an operator in customer service. The CSR put me on hold to investigate... for 15 minutes! When he finally came back he said "we have been trying to get ahold of you to reschedule the delivery for Monday afternoon." My response was, "No you have not! ...And Monday will not work because her birthday party has already happened today!" I then told him that we wanted our over $100 returned immediately!

    The CSR's response was, "I can offer you a discount!" To which I replied, "Yes, discount me the total amount of our order in the form of a total refund!" He paused, so I said it again, "Just give me a Full Refund! NOW! ...because you missed the window for my mom's birthday party!" So he put me on hold for another 25 minutes... then the phone system started doing a customer survey, to which they got all negative responses. When the survey was done it hung up on me. As I started to call them back, my wife received a call from them to say that the refund had been processed. We did get an email saying it had been refunded. At the time I am writing this, the money is not in our bank account yet. Here's hoping that the full refund actually goes through.

I did this several weeks in advance of the wedding and also emailed pictures of what she wanted. I live in Bakersfield, California and was not familiar with any florists on the Central Coast.

    The morning of the wedding at 9:30 am, I received and email from Avas Flowers that they could not do the order as some of the flowers were out of season but they could get them done by October 14 and would give me a credit. I called them immediately and they said they couldn't do what we ordered but could they make substitutions which I agreed to. They said they could get the flowers to the venue by 2:00. I called back at 11:00 to confirm and then they said they couldn't do the order as they could not get in touch with the designer. I was very upset! I gave the phone to my daughter and my mother and I went to Vons. They were so gracious and filled our order which we picked up at 1:00 for the wedding at 4:00.

    Avas Flowers was the worst flower delivery experience ever. The flowers never arrived for a milestone anniversary despite repeated calls to customer service asking when the roses would be delivered. It was getting late and they still had not arrived at the destination. Each time we called, the reps at Avas lied and said they checked with the “driver” and the flowers would be delivered any minute. They assured us they would get there on time. Well, they never arrived. Turns out they never called the “driver” at all. They just made that up. The roses were never delivered.

    The next day we decided to contact a flower shop in the delivery town that we suspected was the shop that Avas was subcontracting to deliver the flowers, Buckeye Florist. We were right, it was them. We resubmitted our order again directly through the Buckeye “Florist” who it turns out has no store, only a phone number but no apparently no flowers. The owner of Buckeye Florist said that Avas Flowers subcontracted with them but the roses hadn’t come in yet. What? It was already the next day and they didn’t even HAVE the flowers yet? So we waited all afternoon checking in with Buckeye Florist several times to see if the flowers had “come in yet”. Finally very late in the day the flowers arrived at their destination one day late. If we hadn’t made all the phone calls that we did, I am certain there would have been no delivery at all.

    My boyfriend ordered me some flowers for after a very serious surgery and my experience dealing with a gift bought for me from Avas Flowers was more than unsatisfactory. I actually decided to call and check on the delivery status myself after my boyfriend told me where he ordered from. I was home the entire day following my surgery so I knew I'd be here for the delivery but the flowers did not come. The website repeatedly advertises same day delivery and great customer reviews but this was just a lie to trick new customers. The flowers didn't come until the next day close to 5pm and I was assured they'd come by 12pm that day.

    I had spoken to a customer service rep named Tony as well as a executive of the company named Seth. They were absolutely no help and all they could say was sorry. Their driver didn't come in so only one person was able to make and deviled bouquets. The flowers arrived with some dead and without flower food. I am beyond disgusted with the customer service.

He explained the delivery did not take place because they could not find the flowers needed to complete the arrangement. I never heard of such. I asked why wasn't I notified, he could not explain. I told him the arrangement was for a loved one whose burial was at 10: 00 am est 11/11/19 and it was too late to send flowers. He asked me if I had an address of a family member where they could send to today or tomorrow. Why I would I send a funeral arrangement to the family after the service?.. Are you kidding me.

    My office ordered flowers for our co-workers sister’s funeral. The flowers never arrived, but my credit card was charged. I called the florist and talked to the manager, but he was very difficult to deal with and said he could only give a partial refund. I had to dispute with my credit card company. This business is a scam. They should be ashamed of themselves, taking advantage of people when they are grieving.

    Company is fraudulent in their advertising first of all so you have to understand that before you order. They advertise that they are a local florist and have local brick and mortar shops. They do not. My flowers are around for my wife’s birthday and were late in arriving and the flowers looked terrible. One side of the flowers look like it had been crushed in the door. The flowers were dead within 72 hours. I have contacted Avas numerous times and given them several chances to fix the issue. I am posting these messages on social media and other outlets. Very disappointing and my wife it was supposed to receive the flowers is disappointed and we will never use this florist again. Buyer beware.

    I spent at least 40 minutes putting my order in for flowers to be delivered last Thursday, November 7th. The reviews on their site are very positive. Wish I had seen these reviews???? They failed to deliver the flowers Thursday, after promising they would. I spent another 45 minutes on the phone after their unending prompts. Only to be told they weren’t sure when they’d be delivered on Friday. ☹️ The flowers didn’t arrive until after 4:00 on Friday. My sister sent me a picture..the bouquet was NOTHING like what I paid $75 for. Basically a $8.99 WalMart bouquet in a $1 Dollar store vase, with no bow.

    I called and spent another hour on the phone with a rep who said she would delete the delivery charge (which they didn’t), and would send me an email. Of course heard nothing. Called back. Total waste of time. THIS IS A FRAUDULENT COMPANY RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!!!! FAKE REVIEWS ON THEIR WEBSITE. I'M CALLING THE BBB ON MONDAY..Hoping they can do something about this horrible company!!??

    On 11/6/19 at noon, I called the 800 number listed on the website - 877-638-6619 to have flowers delivered same day as advertised for my Aunt's birthday. Since I had not heard from my Aunt, (I know she would have called or text me to thank me for the arrangement), I checked my email at 10:00 a.m. the next day, 11/07/19. Unfortunately, I received an email dated 11/06/19 at 4:07 p.m. stating that they could not deliver my arrangement and would be doing so on 11/07/19 and would be giving me a $ 15.00 refund for inconvenience. When I stated I did not want the flowers any longer, I was put on a brief hold and of course the flowers had already gone out today. No voice messages, no phone calls.

    When I asked why someone didn't immediately call me about the issue, the customer service rep Able told me they try to find another florist to make the delivery. I stated I should have been notified and I should have been the one to decide if they called another florist or not; or I could have called around myself! Able did give me a 17% refund of my original $77.79 purchase, but I am extremely disappointed that my Aunt did not get her flowers ON her birthday!!!!! Unfortunately, I would not recommend this florist and will never use them again.

    Do not spend your money here. I ordered an arrangement for my daughter for her Birthday and at 3:00 in afternoon the day it was supposed to be delivered and was told they would not get it there today, after paying for expedited delivery. After calling customer service, having to explain the situation to 2 different people, and being on the phone for almost 35-40 minutes, I was told they would do their best to get it delivered on the day I paid for. They did offer me a refund but would have to wait 7-10 days to get it. BS. They didn't have any problem taking my money right away. Well, the flowers get delivered a day late and do not look ANYTHING like what I ordered. Additionally, I ordered a full size greeting card I paid $4 for and got a regular card you can get free at any florist.

    So once I saw the picture of what she received, I called and after being on the phone again 2 different people, I had to email them pictures to be told they would not do anything for me because I accepted the flowers being delivered that way when I did ask for a refund. Total crap. I have been in sales for 35 years and would NEVER treat a customer the way I was treated the last two days. Hey guys, guess what, the customer is ALWAYS right. Sales 101. If you don't deliver to the customer's expectation, you do whatever you can to earn their repeat business. I guess this Family Owned Business does not care about repeat business of their customers. I would NEVER recommend anyone buy anything from these people.

    Not only did they not give me what I requested, they tried to insult me with a 10% discount and never even refunded me for the card I paid for and did NOT receive. What I ordered vs what I received. Not even close to what I ordered. Maybe a full size bouquet but not the right colors, similar, what no full size card. You pick out a bouquet based on how it looks. To send something that doesn't even look close to what you ordered, and then call it an upgrade, is just not acceptable.

So this was very important to me and had ordered the flowers a week prior. The day the flowers were to be delivered, Avas Flowers had called me to say that the flowers couldn't be delivered until the next day. I told them this was unacceptable and explained the importance of the flowers being delivered on THIS particular date. The gentleman "laughed" and I was irate!! Let me remind you that their website also says "same day delivery." So I said "why not put me in as a same day delivery?" He said they couldn't, and, without an explanation, told me to "take it or leave it." I also made a written complaint with the actual company and they NEVER responded.

    I wanted to send flowers to a friend in Vermont for her birthday. I Googled florists in the town where my friend lives. Avas Flowers came up first. Their ad gave the appearance that they were a local florist in the town and that the delivery would be handled locally. Because I was in a hurry that day, I quickly placed an order for a bouquet that was to be delivered in two days on her birthday. Later inspection of the fine print indicated that they are based in NJ.

    They sent an email which, for some reason, went to my spam folder stating that the flowers that I ordered were not available "due to the seasonality of the product." (If it's not in season, take it off your website or note the months that it is available!) Furthermore, the flowers that were being substituted were not going to be shipped until the day AFTER her birthday.

    I am still sitting here fuming as the flowers have yet to be delivered and I wonder about the quality of the product when (if) they finally arrive as they are being shipped by UPS. My friend is too nice to tell me if the flowers are of poor quality. Lesson to be learned: stick with FTD or 1-800-Flowers and avoid this company like the plague!

    Do NOT do business with this company! I ordered flowers for a family funeral days in advance of the church services in Bucksport, Maine. I called twice to speak with agents to be sure they knew what time to deliver to the church on the day of the funeral. They would not reveal the name of the local florist nearby in Ellsworth, ME for my additional follow-up but assured me the flowers would be delivered on time. I requested and received an email from them confirming they would deliver 30 minutes or more before the start of the church service.

    The flowers NEVER ARRIVED! I was devastated! I was the person responsible for ordering the main spray of flowers on a stand to be placed at the front of the church. When I spoke with them following the funeral they offered NO REASONABLE explanation for not delivering the flowers. Said something along the lines of they were unable to secure arrangements with a local florist. They did not show appropriate empathy given the situation and it was hard to understand the supervisor on the phone given his strong accent. I believe now that I was dealing with an off-shore company. Very misleading as they came up at the top of the list on a Google search for flowers in Ellsworth as the "#1 Florist in Ellsworth."

    As resolution, they offered to deliver an arrangement to a family member at 15% off my original order. Really??? Days after the funeral they would keep my $139.61 for a large funeral spray and send an arrangement days after the funeral at a 15% discount! They should have provided a full refund AND offered to send a large arrangement or fruit basket to the family - at a minimum! In my personal opinion, financial compensation of $200 or more, above a full refund, that could be applied towards the family's expenses would have been a more appropriate gesture of apology considering the emotional impact caused by their failure. Warning!!! Do not do business with this company. I have alerted Google Ads and will be writing to the local newspapers and Chamber of Commerce. Please suggest any recourse I may have and others I can contact to report them.

After giving them all your info on the very last screen the charge $18.95 for service and handling. That is very misleading. I tried to cancel online immediately and the online system wouldn't cancel within 10 minutes of ordering, so I called customer service. There are way too many buttons to press, too many messages to listen to before you can get someone on the line. Once I finally got someone on the line, they refused to refund 100% and would only refund $41 of the $59 charge. So even if you cancel immediately, they get roughly $20 for "providing the service."

    TL;DR support local florist not these guys. Ava's Flowers claims to be local and 5-star rated. I should have read reviews first, but I was in a pinch. They are essentially a flower broker. They outsource to local shops and take a cut. PLEASE do your research and order from the local florist themselves and put these people out of business, I wish I had.

    When I ordered I was under the impression they were local so I spoke casually and didn't bother to give city or state at first. I attempted multiple time to explain to them the type of arrangement I wanted and if it was possible in my price range. The guy on the phone just kind of ignored my requests to have red, white, and blue as well as if possible Casablanca lilies. Had he simply acknowledged that it may not be possible I would have changed my request.

    My order came out to almost double what I told him my budget was and after the order processed I got a confirmation text. He has misheard my email, so I attempted to change it online to no avail. About an hour after I placed my order they called to say they didn't have blue flowers and could make it with red, yellow, and orange (clearly the same as red white and blue). Still thinking I was dealing with a local shop, I said that was fine.

    A little later I called to change my email and ask for a status and was put on a long hold (obviously because he was calling the actual florist). They had attempted to delivery but he had misheard and not confirmed the recipient's number, so I asked if I could have the number of the florist to change it ASAP. He said it was against their policy, and told him to call them immediately to change it.

    The flowers were eventually delivered, and were beautiful (although not at all what I asked for). She opened the card and the "from" was misspelled because he had again, misheard and not confirmed. All in all, it was a needlessly stressful experience brought on by this company. I was very fortunate to have a WONDERFUL local florist that treated my order well once they received it. I will be using that florist again and cutting out the middle man.

They completely botched the card to the point that it was not clear who they were from, and they did not put WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY as I requested, misspelled the family name and did not write what I asked, after I reviewed it with them several times! Floral bouquet was cheap flowers and gaudy looking and they would only offer $20 off my next order, AS IF I'D EVER ORDER AGAIN - REALLY?? A $109 BOUQUET ended up being $149 and the picture of it made me furious. Don't order from this company - I should have hung up when I heard several conversations going on on the other end of the line. Not anyone you EVER want to order from.

    DO NOT use AVAs Florist. I ordered an expensive Peace Lily plant for a funeral service and asked for it to be delivered by 10 am as it was a short service at the funeral home. I rec'd an email back stating it would be delivered by noon so I called Avas and personally spoke to a rep who told me she could guarantee a before 10:00 delivery to the funeral home. I rec'd an automated email stating it was delivered at 4:06 pm after the service was over and the family had returned home. I confirmed with the family that the Peace Lily was not at the service. It takes forever to even get through to customer service and spoke to an idiot named Max who told me it was delivered in the morning and that the email I rec'd stating that it was delivered at 4:06 was the time the driver actually got to update the status and wasn't the delivery time even though their email said "ACTUAL TIME OF DELIVERY."

    The funeral director was wonderful and confirmed with me that there was no Peace Lily delivered the day of the service which was 10/19 either in the morning or at 4:06. HOWEVER< he did call me on Monday morning (10/21) and said that there was a small glass vase with 5 fresh cut flowers outside the door of his funeral home that had a simple card that said Kathy, Rick & Dan - even though the card I wrote online said much more than that and had the correct names. This place is nothing but pure crap and a rip off. I BEG you do not be a victim of theirs.

    I ordered a flower arrangement for a funeral and was assured that it would be delivered prior to the 945AM services. I ordered this on behalf of my family for our friends funeral. Imagine my disappointment when we arrived at the services and did not see the wreath I ordered, I was very embarrassed. I called Avas flowers customer service to find out what happened and they said the vendor delivered them at 12pm. After arguing with the rep they refunded me all but $50 which is what they say the material cost. I will never use Avas Flowers again. I believe they are in a business that requires a high degree of customer service and they definitely dropped the ball with this customer.

    I ordered these flowers ten days before my requested delivery date. The flower were not delivered on the date promised and I was not notified until that day that the flowers would not be delivered until three days later, after the birthday. Also the arrangement shown was not the arrangement delivered. A lame excuse was made that the particular flowers, pink roses among them, were not available; again I was notified of this on the day the flowers were supposed to be delivered. The name of the bouquet that I ordered was called "Pink & Ivory," and a great many roses were pictured. There were no roses in the arrangement delivered and only three or four cheap pink flowers and a bunch of white daisy type flowers. This was a very upsetting experience. Not only was the surprise spoiled that this was supposed to be, but the flowers were not as represented. I would never use Avas Flowers again and would advise anyone to avoid this company.

The Lavender spray had very few lavender flowers - mostly white and did not have the additional darker purple flowers we requested.

It was just the card that was wrong so there was nothing they could do since my flower order was delivered. No matter how much I explained they made a mistake, they did not want to correct it. They said that since it was just the card that was wrong, they would refund me the $4.00 for the card. They also offered me a $15 credit for a future order. I refused the $15 credit as I will NEVER order them them again. They also offered to call the grieving daughter to tell her the flowers were from me. I refused this as I found the offer extremely tacky.

We were placed on hold and told by that rep that the flowers were available for delivery the same day before 4pm to arrive to an event. I requested the flowers be delivered on the same day before 4 which they agreed to do saying that it would be there and the arrangement would be beautiful and that they checked and the flowers were available.

    Two days later we did not receive a thank you from the business and then researched only to find an email for 4:31 pm on 9/23/19 stating that they could not fulfill the order until the next day. They advised that they are offering $15 in store credit points for the inconvenience. I called today to discuss the matter - spoke to rep Jocelyn who offered $10.00 and then supervisor Ceaser who offered $15. I also requested a person beyond a floor supervisor and the rep named Ceasar refused stating that he is the end of the chain to speak with.

    Desired Resolution/Outcome. Desired Resolution: Refund. Desired Outcome: Full refund needs to be issued. Rep Jocelyn hung up on me and Supervisor Ceasar refused to go beyond a 15% credit. Either full refund is to be issued due to the fact that the vendor over promised and under delivered on the agreement. The vendors email was not seen until after the fact and the vendors email did not go out until after the promised delivery time of 4pm (email sent 4:31pm) additionally - florists are closed by this time and unable to receive and fulfill same day orders for same day delivery. Even if the email was seen at 4:32 pm we would not have had enough time to set up a delivery with another florist due to the times that floral shops close and being that the event also started at 5pm for which the flowers were needed for, not the next day.

She said, "No they could be delivered today." I asked her, "Are you sure because I do not want them if they cannot be delivered today." I was unsure if my sister will be home on tomorrow to receive them. I wanted to send some flowers to brighten her day. Today was a very significant day for her. The representative assured that they could be delivered today. She placed me hold and contacted the designer. She came back to the phone and said they will be delivered today. So I paid the $68. She said that I would receive the confirmation email after the call but she could give me my confirmation number over the phone.

    After the call, I opened the email and it stated FLEX delivery. Deliver today or tomorrow by 5pm. In small print it read there is no guarantee that it could be delivered today. I called back to tell them that the invoice was incorrect, that I specifically said today 10/7/19. The lady said, "No worries. All invoices say that but it will be delivered today." I said, "No I want my invoice to reflect exactly what I ordered and requested which was delivery on today not flex delivery." She sent me over to customer service. Then they said there is no guarantee that they will be delivered today. That's why it is printed as flex delivery, but, that she will call the designer.

    She came back to the phone and said that they cannot be delivered today because the order was placed after cutoff time but they could deliver them on tomorrow. I said no, I would like a refund because I asked several times for them to be delivered today and was told several times they would be. I asked first representative, "Was it too late," and she said no, not at all. Then customer service went on to say, "I'm not sure that we could give you a refund because it states flex delivery on your invoice which means they could be delivered today or tomorrow."

    At that point smoke was coming out of my ears. Very calm, I said, "Ma'am that was the initial reason for this call because the invoice does not reflect my conversation with the representative." I said I recorded the call. I specifically said I did not want to place order if they cannot be delivered today. She placed me on hold and then came back about five minutes later two say they will be issuing a refund that will take 10 days to process. I don't believe I would have gotten a refund had I not said I recorded the call, which I actually didn't!! Lord forgive me, BUT I REPEAT, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY.

    I wanted to send my daughter a bouquet to her new place of employment. I chose Avas Flowers because the map showed their location close to her job. The deceiving ad looked like they offered a large discount and free delivery. I tried to order online but it was showing delivery charge. So I called them. I waited a very long time for service and it sounded like someone from another country. He said that for the price I wanted I would have to order the small size. I did not want what would be a mere handful of flowers. He then put the order in for medium size with a simple floral card, for about $65. I then looked online for my order. It was changed for small, including a bow and full size card which I did not order.

    So again I waited on the phone. Finally the woman said she'd have to review my entire taped conversation. After a very long wait, she unhappily changed to a medium bouquet, no bow and the simple card. I requested that the flowers be delivered early in the day. The online confirmation said by 7 pm. Again I had to call them to tell them she wouldn't be there after 5. They checked with the designer and said she would have it but could not give me a time.

    Well they were delivered about 3 PM and my daughter sent me a picture. I was so disappointed. They were the same colors as the sample I selected but there were only about 8 stems. I was embarrassed and spent way too much money. I called to complain. I filed an email complaint and received several emails back saying they would speak to the designer and also get back to me within 5 business days to rectify the situation. That was about 3 weeks ago and I have not heard anything. Nor do I expect to at this point.

They were supposed to include a full size card, balloons, and a big pink bow.

    When I went to see her a short time later I could not believe what it looked like. The arrangement looked nothing like the picture on their website and none of the extras I paid for were included. The plant looked like something you could pick up for about $10.00, if that. So disappointed and a complete waste of money. I feel sorry for all the people who have ordered through them and thought that they were sending something nice, and the recipient probably got something really crappy! Also, when I tried to call them about this order all I kept getting was put on hold and then hung up on. Obviously they do not care about customer satisfaction, once they get your money.

    Do not order here!!!. They are not reliable. I order for my mom's funeral 5 days ahead. I called 3 days prior to change the funeral address and to advised the funeral is at 10am and advised them to drop off the flowers day prior. The day of the funeral no flowers arrived. I sat on hold up to 945am. My mom funeral is over. It's 3:54pm still no delivery. Someone had to go to a local florists to get me flowers. They made this day even more worse than the actual funeral. And still on hold. DO NOT USE THEM!! BBB HAS ALERT ON THEIR WEBSITE ABOUT THE AVAS.

My only concern is I never received a confirmation in my email, I have asked twice for an invoice to be sent to my email and still haven't received one.

    I ordered flowers to be delivered to a friend who was having surgery. I placed the order on 9/24/19 in the morning for a 9/25/19 delivery, assuming it would be early to late afternoon. On 9/26/19 at 11:43 a.m., I received a call requesting the home address of the recipient as she had been discharged from the hospital prior to delivery. I asked when the delivery attempt had been made and was told 8 pm on 9/25. My friend had been discharged an hour before. So I gave them my friend's home address thinking the florist would deliver to them to her.

    At 2:56 PM, I received an email which said: "Great news! Your order has already been processed and will be on its way to be delivered on your requested delivery date. For all status updates on your order, please use the tracking number we have listed below. Thank you for choosing Avas Flowers." The delivery date is 9/27/19; not only is 9/27/19 NOT my requested delivery date, the flowers are being delivered by UPS. I was not told by the customer service person that the flowers would be delivered by UPS and not until Friday 9/27. If she had told me, I would have cancelled the order and got the flowers myself. OH, maybe that's why she didn't tell me. I will never use Avas Flowers again, nor will I recommend them to my friends and family. Such a disappointment!

    I recently ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered, "same day delivery". I made the order before the cut off time, and was promised delivery by 6pm. I received a call at 6pm that the order will now be delivered the following day. The order had to be done that same day, for a specific special occasion. They said, "We can cancel it and you will get your money back." I explained that $ wasn't the issue, I needed the product delivered. I called back at least 10 times to try and have the issue resolved, but I was shut down, and they said, "We won't do anything to remedy the situation."

And the customer service is sketchy to say the least. They told me the florist would only issue a small credit. As it turns out the florist knows nothing about the credit because the payment is thru the 3rd party. Avas flowers is a poor representation of any business, especially the florists.

They said they had attempted to contact me (they didn't) about not having the parts of the display I ordered. They were going to get in additional product on Monday, but not for the arrangement I ordered. I authorized a change. Said they would deliver today (Tuesday). I told them my mother might get moved to rehab center by today (Tuesday). Said they would check with Hospital before delivery. Not an issue because now they say they will deliver tomorrow (Wednesday).

    I'm glad my mother survived the surgery because the florist would be late for a funeral. Will never use this Florist in the future and will never use a florist who is linked into a national marketing coop or whatever the arrangement is. If they don't make delivery right tomorrow I will cancel order via my credit card company and order from a more "local" florist.

    ****Please read this, I hope no one else has to have this terrible experience with Avas Flowers. I had ordered $100 worth of flowers to be delivered to my sister at such a happy time of her life (she was expecting her first child). Over night and the following morning she started to miscarry and I quick called Avas to cancel the order (at 10 AM), as it wasn’t supposed to be delivered until 6 PM anyway (as both her and her husband work during the day). What ensued was over an hour phone call (mostly on hold) with customer service informing me that I could not be refunded as they had already attempted to deliver the flowers (8 hours early). Moreover, they offered to redeliver the flowers to a different address, if I paid another 20$ for delivery cost. Even asking for store credit to purchase a different bouquet at a better time was not allowed.

    Ultimately, the flowers were never delivered and I was not able to be refunded, all while my family was in the hospital and having one of the saddest days. So unfortunate that the company chosen to help us celebrate in turn made us feel worse in times of sorrow. We are completely understanding that cost were involved to the company far before the miscarriage happened, thus not asking for a full refund, but a little consideration of other people’s circumstances and being willing to adjust in times of hardship would have went a long ways. I would highly suggest finding a different florist, maybe one with a little more empathy.

So I called Thurs morning early to let them know it was terrible, David said we could NOT have to re-delivered because it was past the 24 hr delivery time! I asked why was the order changed without my knowledge and he said he did not know why.

    I just had a horrible experience with Avas Flowers. I need flowers delivered on a specific date (add in reason for dramatic effect: for my recently widowed mom who was alone on her birthday) so I was searching local florist and was directed to Avas on the front page of the website it that had the words same-day delivery to Traverse City - so I thought I was at a local florist. FYI: I did not need the same day delivery but after reviewing all my communication from this company I did notice wording at the bottom of my receipt that the delivery day is not guaranteed. I just happened to notice two emails in my spam from Avas saying the flowers I choose were not in stock and to please call which I did 3 times, each time I received a message that said, "Thank you for calling" and the line disconnected.

    I tried reaching out through the website but the only choice you have to submit a request to be contacted. Flowers were of course not delivered. I tried again this morning, was again disconnected, however on the next try I did get through. The opening message is to please check your spam email and to try and contact them through the website to resolve your problem bc the wait time is 20 minutes. It took some doing but I finally made it through the menu selections to a human. Where the first thing I was told was that they sent me an email saying they did not deliver to Traverse City which is why my flowers were not delivered. I reminded them of the website which states same-day delivery to Traverse City. The next thing he said was opposite of them not delivering to Traverse City.

    He told me that Shannon sent me an email saying they were not able to find my mom's house bc the zip code was incorrect. Zip code was correct and I never received that email from Shannon. At this point I said, "I wanted a refund" and he put me on hold for quite a while and came back and said, "Good news, we are only charging you X amount" which was the exact amount that I paid, then he said we will waive the delivery. Reminded him that delivery was free on website, then he said they are giving me a $15 credit to order from them again and he would waive the service fee of $10. I said that was not acceptable and he said they had upgraded my mom's flowers - but I had purchased the upgrade.

    I kept pushing for reimbursement and he told me that he could not bc the flowers were already out for delivery and it was too late bc I had not called them back yesterday. I explained that I had called, he said they have no record of my calls. He also put me on hold twice to call my mom and apologize. I was texting with mom during this and no calls were made to her. My reimbursement was refused. So far the flowers have not been delivered. Do NOT use this company.

When I said this wasn't acceptable, and asked to speak to a manager, she said she was it. I told her the $20 off the next purchase was useless since I would never use them again. I will stick with FTD the next time. Lesson learned!

    I ordered flowers 3 DAYS before the first day of school to be sure they arrived as there is only one FIRST day! When I called today to inquire why they weren’t delivered the recording that “checked” said they’d be “re-delivered” today. Oh yes, my credit card was already charged. Of course I held on to speak to an “agent”. I was told that they called the number and got no answer (um, she’s a TEACHER). They “didn’t realize it was a school” even though the order form included that information as the agent confirmed. It also included MY number. Supposedly they will be delivered by noon time today and I will receive a confirmation email stating this. I will not use this company again. Very disappointed.

    This is a scam. Online and on the phone they represent themselves as local with low prices. I called first thing in the morning and ordered a dozen red and pink roses for same-day delivery. The young man taking my order charged me double what was on the website, then explained it was a custom order with custom arrangement, ribbon, etc. He assured me the roses were available and that same-day delivery was assured. Later I received an email that delivery would be a day later.

    When the order came, it was 8 wilted roses and a scattered showing of a few miscellaneous flowers in a box delivered from New York. The roses looked like they were picked from someone's yard a few days ago. I paid $104 for this and nothing I was told I was paying extra for was delivered. I was offered a $15 credit to use with them within a year. I would never use them again or recommend anyone use them. This is the worst scam I have ever fallen for. Horrible, disappointing experience.

    What is pictured on the website is not even close to what the company will provide! This is an absolute bait and switch. The flowers I picked were large and full, what was delivered was scrawny! I am so embarrassed I sent that!!!! I paid $100 for a $15 arrangement. Click on the satisfaction commitment on their page and read it before you buy! Count all the hidden charges!

    I ordered flowers for on 8/21/19 for same day delivery for my mother's birthday around 9am. Their add on surcharges are very high also, but I accepted it because it was going to be the same day type delivery. I got an email around 10am for Avas' customer support team saying issues existed and call them. They could not deliver as their website indicated so I requested cancellation of the order. They kept asking to deliver another day or to a different address, which would not work since it was her birthday.

    Finally, they agreed to cancel the order but only partial. They kept a $13.95 "surcharge or processing fee" for an hour's worth of online work. I expressed my displeasure since it had only been an hour and they had not done anything. He said there is nothing else that could be done. I told him I would never do business with this company again and he didn't care. DO NOT do business with this company as they cannot deliver and their hidden fees are outrageous. There are plenty of other options out there as well.
