    Do not order here!! If you are ordering on holidays they will continue to mess up delivery times and promise you that it will be delivered the next day and NOT fulfill that. I was promised twice that my flowers would be delivered on time and both times there was an excuse on why that could not happen. Customer service did very little to help and I’m so upset I even wasted my time with them. Should have looked at the reviews first.

    They said they couldn’t deliver the order in time and said they could deliver the flowers 3-4 days later. When I said I just wanted a full refund and to cancel the order, I spent at least 30 minutes on the phone waiting for them to do that. I still don’t know if I’ll end up with a refund.

    I ordered a carnation bouquet for my mom's birthday and it was supposedly delivered to her home Wednesday morning...but she never got a delivery. I called customer service and told them I wanted a refund, then they told me they would verify delivery before they would issue me a refund. Funny enough, this afternoon my mother received a delivery...but WAS NOT WHAT I ORDERED!! Instead of a carnation bouquet, they delivered 3 sad little roses in a vase! They "made a delivery", so now I can't get my money back! VERY POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE, and if I had read the reviews about the law suit about their business practices, I would have NEVER used this company!! They didn't deliver as promised, or what I ordered.

    I think this is my first time to ever write a negative review but I am so displeased. My daughter-in-law is in the hospital 30 weeks pregnant on bedrest. I sent her an upgraded arrangement of flowers and added two teddy bears. Only one bear was delivered. After an extremely long amount of time speaking to somebody who seemed to be trying so hard to please me, but they don’t have anything to do with the end. Result, I was told another bear would be delivered. I was offered the option of getting my money back, but who would send a person in the hospital with twins one bear???? They called my daughter-in-law to make sure that she only received one bear. Hours later, when the second bear wasn’t delivered, I called back and again spoke to a very helpful person, but it took forever and it is somebody being employed in another country. I was told the bear would be delivered.

    I waited until this afternoon and still no bear had been delivered. I didn’t go the phone call route because that had taken up so much of my time already. I filled it out the form online and they refunded my money. I replied back to the email and to the text that this wasn’t acceptable and that I wanted the bear delivered. No, we will never ever ever see that bear. On top of that, I showed a picture to my daughter-in-law of what the basic flowers would look like. The ones that were delivered were not even as nice as the basic and I had upgraded. The worst florist ever.

    Do not uses this company! I feel like I was scammed in so many ways. First they pride themselves on same day delivery and my Godmother did not receive her arrangements until 3 days later. Secondly what she received compared to what I purchased was adjacent to flowers bought on the side of the road and put into a vase with water. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Thirdly I had to call everyday to find out the delay of the delivery and they had many excuses. Needless to say after fighting for a full refund I used a local florist and was very pleased. Please be careful when using these companies to represent the love you have for your loved ones and they can be poorly represented because of lack of empathy.

    The review would be zero if available. The recipient describes the flowers as, "looking like they spent too much time in a hot car." Hardly what the price would suggest. On top of that the choice claimed free delivery. At check out a $10 delivery charge was attached along with a nearly $30 service fee. Don't use Avas, ever.

    I learned a lesson for next time that Ava’s Flowers was not a local business. Flowers were ordered for a memorial service on May 3, 2024, in Dawsonville, GA. I would be in attendance from So CA. I was specific about the delivery address, time of memorial service, date of memorial, and the fact that there was & still is a discrepancy in cost of the Zen Orchid Sympathy Plant, which shows 2 stems on the orchid…from $59.99. The plant delivery to the church was late so was not there for the actual memorial service. It was taken to the Fellowship Hall for the reception. The funeral director came to me afterwards to explain he accepted the delivery at noon & the delivery person stated “no time was indicated.” The phone representative tried explaining why the 2-stemmed orchid cost more & I certainly understand that; however, the picture does NOT match the price underneath. Needs correction.

    I made an order of balloons and flowers to be delivered at the hotel in Tallahassee for my girlfriend graduation. This was noted in the order. 2 days before delivery date a rep called asking for an alternative address because the balloons couldn’t be delivered. I kept asking why, then to find out it’s because they don’t have it in stock at the location that delivers to my listed address. I was annoyed because everything was paid for however I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I agreed to cancel the balloon part of the order and keep the flowers. The day of delivery I received a call from another rep asking for an alternative address again!!!! On the day of!!!! I’m attending my gf graduation with nothing but excuses!!! I was highly pissed. I believe it’s a scam, seems like AVAS is charging people for products they don’t have keeping your money for days then issuing a refund. This is the worse service I ever received. Messed my day up.

    I had bought Luxury Grade flowers worth $74.99 for my daughter's civil wedding. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the wedding due to some medical circumstances. When my daughter sent me the picture of the flowers, it was evident they had delivered the smaller version worth $44.99. They promised to rectify the mistake only after two days. If I hadn't seen the picture, I would have never known that they had charged me for the bigger version and delivered the smaller one. We wish to do business with honest and competent people.

    I don't normally do reviews but the service from this place was awful. First I thought this was a real florist as I searched for florists in a certain town and it popped up. Made a purchase over the phone days before delivery needed for my sister's bday. I asked if the flowers could be delivered before noon and they guaranteed it would. Spoke to my sister in the afternoon and she didn't receive the flowers. Upon calling Avas, we found out that they were a broker and didn't know why the flowers were delivered and would look into it. A couple hours later my sis called and finally receive the gift. Not liking the service received. Wish I would have looked at reviews first.

    Please avoid causing yourself heartache. I placed a flower order for same day - even though at checkout there was a $28 service charge that they never alert you to, because I wanted these flowers delivered today. My brother passed away, and it's his wife's birthday. 2 hours later I got an email that the flowers could not be delivered today, but they could in 3 days. If that was ok, do nothing, or you could call to modify your order. Thank goodness I checked my email!

    I called - got a call center not in this country, and was told that I could not cancel within a 24 hour time period. When I said this was unacceptable, I was put on hold and kept there for half an hour while she kept "looking for a supervisor." Finally, as my husband was calling the bank to report the scam, the agent informed me she didn't have a supervisor, but had gotten permission to cancel the order. Only after all this did I see the REAL reviews for this company. Please do not get scammed. Use someone else.

    If I could have given zero stars, I would have! This company is TERRIBLE! In the first place, they give you the impression that they are local to the area you wish to have flowers sent. Not so. I ordered an arrangement for same day delivery. Got a text back from them giving a confirmation. About an hour later, I received another text from Avas stating my order could not be delivered and stated I needed to choose another flower arrangement. I did, then received another email stating they could not deliver that one as well and for me to choose another date. So, reluctantly, I chose the day after I originally needed it to be delivered. This went back and forth, ordering and them sending me a confirmation of my order, then again them stating they couldn't deliver. So I go and cancel the order and order a different arrangement.

    I then received a message saying the order could not be canceled, the funds were already deducted from my bank account. So, now here I am...I have two orders for flowers and only need one. In the end, after calling them, they did cancel one of the orders and the other one was delivered to the correct address, but it was left out at the road by the mailbox. It should have been taken up to the house and at least left on the porch. This is the most pitiful and thrown together flower arrangement I have ever seen! I will NEVER ORDER FROM AVAS AGAIN!!! I AM FURIOUS AND FUMING. How ridiculous and embarrassing it was to have THAT FLOWER arrangement sent to my family member, especially on a day of remembrance for my husband's and his sister's mother's anniversary of her death!

    Tried to order some birthday flowers for my sister for her birthday to be delivered to her work. Made the order - and paid. All went fine. I get a confirmation email. Then next day I get an email that I need to call about my order. They told me I needed to provide a different address without a reason. My sister was going to be at work all day. I wanted the flowers to be delivered there. They would not deliver it. They had all kinds of excuses. They could push the delivery 4 days or to another location. I had already made plans to have them delivered. They offered a 20% discount to deliver a different day. Not really what I wanted to hear.

    They then put me on hold and then came back to offer giving my sister a call to sing her happy birthday.. Ummm no. That is not what she or I wanted. I asked cancel my order and a refund. He put me on hold to check. He came back telling me he could send a basket of stuff but it had to be a different day and location. Clearly not listening to me. I asked again to cancel and be refunded. 15 minutes have gone by at least so far, and a lot of repeating myself. I eventually got my refund. And ordered from a different shop that delivered the flowers to my sister only a couple hours after I placed the order.

    I called Ava's Flowers in Chandler Texas. Foreign speaking lady asked what flower arrangement I wanted. It was my aunt's birthday the following day. I said she had 2 house cats and I didn't know if they would bother the flowers or not. I asked if I could get balloons. She was hesitant but said yes. Then she suggested a plant. Once again I told her about the cats. She agreed to the balloons a second time. I thought I was finally getting somewhere. Then guess what? She asked, "Are you sure you don't want a flower arrangement?" I said, "Ma'am, forget it!", and hung up. 6 balloons are $40. I'm sure she was trying to make better money, but because she kept pressuring me into something I didn't want, she lost a customer AND $40. $40 is better than nothing!

    What a nightmare. Made an order almost $100 for same day delivery. They sent an email right after saying oh we can’t deliver that day, or even with the bouquet I ordered. I immediately cancelled after telling someone no a million times. I was told the pending transaction would be released. Three days later, that $100 was debited from my account. All they have to say is it’s my bank. So now I’m blocking them from taking money again and disputing the charge with my bank. Good luck getting anywhere with their ridiculous “customer service.”

    Would give zero stars if possible!! I will NEVER use these guys again! I ordered my flowers ahead of time and was told it would not be a problem. My flowers for my Uncle’s funeral NEVER arrived and I had 2 separate delivery dates. The flowers were supposed to arrive at the funeral home but never did. Then the flowers were supposed to arrive at the church and again, never did. Both days, I spoke to several people and still no flowers. No one could get in touch with the flower shop?! As angry and embarrassed as I was regarding this, I wanted a full refund.

    At first they tried to give me a 30% discount. (For flowers that never arrived!?) It took speaking to a supervisor to get a refund. I did finally get a full refund and possibly a peace Lilly, with an apology from AVAS flowers sent to my aunt. But as of right now, I am not hopeful of this! The peace Lilly NEVER arrived at my aunt’s house! I have never dealt with such an UNPROFESSIONAL business as this!!! I do NOT recommend this business at all!!

    Pitiful!!! Ordered flowers for my daughter in law that just had her first baby. I ordered a large arrangement at 9:00 am to make sure it would get there. The man that took my order said they would be delivered same day. I received a phone call the next day. The lady on the phone was nice, apologetic and said that it had not been delivered! She asked if I still wanted the items to be sent and I said yes. She stated that it would go right out and it’s priority. So just to be sure I went online at 4 pm and my status was “to be delivered” Meanwhile the new parents have gone home by now. Then my son got a call from the hospital saying they had a delivery for them. He doesn’t live there, the delivery person had to know they are not there anymore and left them anyway! I got a refund after speaking to a lady that couldn’t speak English and I had to give her my phone number FOUR times before she could get it correct!

    Ordered funeral arrangement for cousin’s funeral in another state. Believing it was a local (to the area) business, I used Avas. Ordered arrangement in ample time for visitation, but it did not arrive. Did not arrive for funeral service the following day. Spent an hour or so speaking with several customer service reps who kept trying to put the order through (send flowers to a funeral that was already over), or offer 10% discount to send to a family member. Was put on hold “for just a few minutes” countless times before they finally refunded my money. On the plus side, they played Beethoven while I waited on hold for an hour.

    #2 - I paid extra for expedited delivery before 2pm and the flowers were delivered after 6:30pm!!

    #3 - I paid for the upgraded “large arrangement” and my recipient sent me a photo which was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL AND NOT AT ALL WHAT I ORDERED!! I understand flowers may be different from the photo but this arrangement had less than half of the flower quantity!! Complete scam!!

    Having just read many other reviews I should be thankful the arrangement for our daughter’s birthday never arrived.

    - they are sorry that the product wasn’t available. I found that out after calling to determine if the delivery was made.
    - they offered a pittance of a refund which turned out to be a coupon for a future order. I would not consider a future Order with this company

    - said they would deliver to an alternative address once our daughter’s vacation was over. After several calls to Ava’s they finally agreed to another refund to my charge card.

    They promised to call my daughter to explain why her birthday present had not arrived on her day, They did not. They promised an initial discount - that did not happen. They promised an alternative delivery - that did not happen. They are not to be trusted with important milestones in the lives of loved ones and acquaintances.

    Negative star review!!! They did not deliver the floral arrangement when they said they could, so I found a different florist who COULD fulfill my order. I then tried to cancel my order with Avas Flowers and they refused to cancel my order (which I then disputed on my credit card). Avas Flowers decided to delivery the $150 “arrangements”. ANYWAY a day later than I had requested and my 3 year old could have put together a better arrangement!

    I gave a 1 because I couldn’t give a 0. I’m usually one to look at reviews before ordering anything. This time I was in such a rush to order flowers for someone who has just experienced a loss within their immediate family, and what a mistake! Let’s just start by saying when you Google “flower delivery near [any city]” They have their website promoting whatever city you looked up like if it was a local flower shop. This place was weird from the moment I placed the order. I was supposed to receive a confirmation text to verify my number, which was never received. I called customer service and the guy was just giving scam vibes so I immediately requested to cancel my order. He tried offering discounts after discount and I insisted I’d like to cancel my order. He then brought up a “policy” for a 24hr cancellation and since it was same day I couldn’t cancel. I was like ok let me see if these flowers will actually be delivered and wait.

    Delivery was supposed to be by 7pm and at 7pm I contacted them stating I have not received any update. The customer service rep was insisting to give it another day then when I declined, she said wait 30 minutes and was just finding ways to avoid me getting a refund. Then, put me on hold and called the person I was trying to surprise to ask if she received anything. After seeing all these reviews and photos of what was ordered vs delivered… I am just lost of words. It is so sad that this site is still up. ESPECIALLY when these arrangements are being ordered and expected to be delivered for a special purpose. Look at BBB and how they try to defend themselves. All these reviews should be there, so maybe they’ll shut this scam of a site down. DO NOT ORDER HERE.

    I wish I had read these reviews before trying to buy flowers from Avas. I tried having flowers delivered to my sister in the hospital. Just like others have said, the flowers were not delivered the same day. She is in the process of getting moved to a different hospital so I tried to cancel the order. It took me two days on the phone with different customer service agents to try and cancel the order since we didn’t know when and where she was going to be moved. It is ridiculous to have to go through so many hoops and different agents to get a cancellation and refund. However, the last customer service rep I talked to was very kind and understanding.

    I feel so cheated. I ordered flowers from AVAS FLOWERS for my mom's birthday. I ordered them early in the day for same day delivery (actually a day earlier than her actual birthday). At checkout, a $24.95 fee was tacked on although the $9.99 delivery fee was deducted via a coupon code. Total cost was $93 and some change. I thought it was odd that my 9 pm Mom hadn't called or texted to say she'd received flowers. I tried to look up delivery information, and of course, that was not available. At 9:40 p.m. my 81 year old Mom texted me that the flowers were just delivered. She was snoozing in her recliner when she noticed a car pull into the drive. Fortunately, my nephew was there to answer the door, in the dark. The delivery woman apologized that she was running behind.

    When Mom sent me the pictures of the flowers, I knew I'd been ripped off. The flowers were skimpy (and I upgraded!), and wilted. Some were turning brown (April in FL = hot). See the pictures below, along with the picture of what I thought I was ordering. I understand the need to substitute, but this was WAY off. I ordered beautiful vibrant flowers. What was delivered was a wilted, half dead, pale and ugly arrangement. I immediately filed a complaint with the company via the online form, but from the other reviews I don't expect to hear back. When the charge actually posts to my bank (it's only currently pending), I will file a formal dispute. I don't want AVAS FLOWERS to get a cent.

    If I could give them a -5 I would. Flowers were supposed to be delivered on Friday, day before funeral service. I received a call late in the afternoon that day they could not deliver them and wanted to deliver on Monday. I told them that was too late and requested a refund. They then assured me they would call another florist and get them delivered prior to the service on Saturday. They again did not get delivered. I called again and requested a refund. By the way, you have to call numerous times to get through because their automated phone keeps saying they have too high a call volume so try the call again later. The girl on the phone gave me a big run around saying I needed to cancel 24 hrs in advance and on and on.

    Finally she said she would research it and call me back. Of course I never heard from her. Monday I called again asking for the status of my refund and they said they could get them delivered to the family that day. I asked for assurances which of course they gave and dummy me, said okay. In about 30 minutes I received an email saying they couldn’t deliver and asked to deliver on Tuesday. I called again and got a guy this time and again, after much back and forth he finally agreed to refund my money. I have a confirmation number but I'll believe it when I see it.

They assured us it would be delivered by 5 p.m. on Monday, but now we're being told today that they won't be able to deliver it in time. This company does bait and switch. Since they couldn't do what they promised, they offered to deliver it to the house (of the family member that passed???) after the service.

Seven hours later an email was sent that stated they couldn’t deliver that day but would reschedule for the next day. By the time I got the email (because when I’m at work I cannot access personal email) they were closed for the day based on the time in the email. I waited and still no flowers by 1 pm the next day.

I did not yell, was not rude, just stated I was not happy that they did not arrive on my mother’s birthday and *crickets*.

    Finally later that afternoon a small arrangement arrived. But it’s not what I paid for (see photos for a “large” vase of the first picture, and the second is what actually arrived), and I cannot get an answer for any sort of apology. Do not do business with Avas Flowers. I wish I had read reviews before ordering. When I searched for a local florist near my mother this one popped up with an address in her town. Now I know better, they’re a service (using that term extremely loosely) trying to compete with FTD or Teleflora and contract with local florists. Also not obvious when I was at the website which made it look like it was in my mom’s hometown. Save yourself a headache and bad service, don’t order with Avas Flowers.

    I ordered the Blue Sympathy Standing Basket on 08/10/22 for my mother's memorial service on 08/13/22. It was delivered on 08/12/22 as promised. Though the flowers were as pictured, they neglected to inform the local florist supplying the delivery to include the stand which was part of the order, and very much needed due to the layout and setup of the funeral site. Fortunately, the local florist had a pedestal available that they allowed us to use. When they read the order that they received from Avas Flowers to me, there was NO MENTION of a "stand", which was part of the description of the floral arrangement.

    I specifically ordered flowers from you as your online store was the only one that offered exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a beautiful arrangement of pastel flowers - and for a good personal reason. What my sister received was not even close. I work with floral people every day - and I understand the need to substitute - but these were NOTHING even close to what I ordered - all deep bright colors mixed in. I hate those light mauve roses and it was full of them!!!! I never would have ordered them.

    I immediately went on to your "chat" format to try to get an answer. I tried two days in a row - maybe 4 times. Yet each time I tried it just spinned and spinned. No-one ever connected on your side. A few days later - I got my confirmation and a survey with your number. I immediately called. I was even more upset when I was told that all claims need to be made within 48 hours and there was nothing you could do for me. I will not use you again or refer you. I will make a review. Kathy **

The arrangement we received was not only incorrect but also drastically different from what was promised by your sales representative. When we initially discussed the floral arrangement for such a solemn occasion which I was unable to attend, your representative assured us of a beautiful display that would convey our sentiments with elegance and dignity. However, what arrived was a complete disappointment. The flowers were not the ones we selected due to the arrangement not being available.

By 11am, they called to tell me that they would be unable to delivery to that business address but could not tell me why. They said I needed to provide the home address for the person I was sending flowers to. I told them i would have to call them back. I reached out to the organization to see if they would be willing to even give me the person's personal address. Luckily, they did. At that point, they were already calling me back. I gave them the updated address and they stated that the delivery would be made that day by 5pm.

    Not even 30 minutes later, I received an email that said my order had been shipped by UPS with a scheduled delivery by 7pm the next day. I called back (which finding a phone number that allowed you to speak to someone was difficult). They played dumb but did give me a $30 discount which would cover the processing fee and delivery fee. They would not cancel my order. At this point, there was not mention of the fact that they were shipping something completely different than what was ordered. The next day, what was delivered was 1 dozen half dead, frozen mixed color roses. I ordered the large pink rose and lily bouquet. Not 1 single lily, not 1 single pink rose. They refused refund.

Looking over the reviews, most are 1 star and the company response is "Thank you". What a joke. DO NOT ORDER FLOWERS WITH ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH AVAS!!!

    I ordered flowers for my wife on the morning of Valentine's Day. My normal florist showed that they wouldn't be able to deliver in time, which was totally expected. I checked out Ava's Flowers, and it showed that I could deliver it on the 14th. I placed the order, and it went through, saying the expected delivery date would be the 14th, that same day. I asked my wife if she got the flowers and she said she didn't. Turns out they didn't deliver them, and I didn't even receive a call or notification about it. As a company, all you have to do is ensure that your expected delivery date is accurate. Even if you have to black out Valentine's Day. Otherwise, you're creating a horrible experience.

I only got that response when I finally requested an update on the order. There was no resolution and no refund. They have stolen $121.12 from me.

I picked a decent size bouquet and proceeded to pay what I thought would amount to about $65.00 with taxes, but in the end they added a 9.99 delivery fee plus a hefty 30.00 service charge. I ended up paying close to $100.00 to what should have been a $50 plus bouquet, then they never delivered the same day, four days later and my sister has not received anything and she never will, I have called them at least 10 times without any success.

    Before placing an order on this website, I strongly urge you to read this review and steer clear of it as quickly as possible. My best friend recently experienced a heartbreaking loss as her grandson passed away, and in our inability to attend the memorial service, we decided to send flowers to the chapel on her behalf. The memorial service was scheduled for February 10th, 2024, at 11:00 AM. I placed the order on January 26th and even paid an additional $9.99 for their Rush Order Request Service, ensuring delivery by 10:30 AM on the day of the service. However, on February 9th, I received a text notification indicating an issue with my order and prompting me to call them. Upon doing so, I was informed that the original flower vendor couldn't guarantee delivery by the specified time. Despite their reassurances that another vendor had been assigned and guaranteed timely delivery, the flowers still did not arrive as promised.

    On February 10th at 11:30 AM, I received yet another text stating a problem with my order, prompting another frustrating call to their customer service. After numerous calls and being placed on hold for extended periods, I finally managed to secure a refund. It was a deeply disappointing and saddening experience, especially given our intentions to support our grieving friend. I strongly advise against ordering from this company. Their customer service representatives are poorly trained, leading to prolonged wait times, dropped calls, and frustrating transfers to executive customer services, only to face further delays. Instead, I recommend doing your research and ordering flowers from a local vendor. Not only is it more cost-effective, but it also guarantees timely delivery and supports businesses within the community.

Two days later (this morning), I received a phone call telling me the flowers would be delivered tomorrow, Feb 12. I asked for a full refund, and they said, "We can give you credit," which I will never order from Avas Flowers again. Instead, I opted for a $20 refund and hopefully delivered flowers on Feb 12.

    Original Review: SAVE THE HEADACHE - I ordered a same-day floral arrangement and paid the extra service fee. This company advertises that they are in a specific city but are not. I will NEVER order from this company again. If you need flowers delivered, NEVER purchase from this company. I live in California, and my daughter lives in Arizona. Avas Flowers did not deliver on the same day, even after paying the extra fee. They will re-deliver after calling numerous times and being put on hold four times. If you need to deliver flowers to a loved one in another city, DO NOT USE AVAS FLOWERS. Save yourself a headache. I also was on hold for over 20 minutes. When the rep returned on the phone, she said they would schedule the re-delivery for the next day. After my daughter's birthday!

    I had a terrible experience with Avas Flowers. First of all, their online presence is deceptive, looking "local" no matter where you search. But they definitely are not. They are a big corporation that farms out the orders to local dealers and takes a cut. In my case, I ordered two orders and only one was delivered. When I called them out on it, they apologized and promised to deliver the second order the next day and gave me a tiny $10 refund for my troubles. The next day, the bouquet they delivered was small and unimpressive - definitely not a value for what I paid for it. It looked nothing like the picture on the website. When I called and complained, they said they had "followed the recipe" to the letter, that I hadn't ordered what was pictured. While technically accurate, I find it deceptive. I will never order from them again.

I immediately called them and they said they couldn’t deliver to her work (it’s a public building) and couldn’t do it until tomorrow but it had to be a different address. I said, "No, cancel my order. I want it done today to her work." She said, "One moment." After a considerable wait, she came back and said she could do 10% off tomorrow to a different address. Again I said, "No, cancel it." Same process and she came back and proceeded to tell me 20% off. I tried to interrupt and she kept talking.

    By now I’m furious, and said, "I want it canceled now, do not tell me about any other deal." She made me wait again and finally came back and said it was canceled. I immediately checked and it was completed but it took 22 minutes of my time to cancel. Keep in mind, my daughter works in a city of 90,000 people. So not a small town. I found a new florist it cost me $61, it was delivered that day, and beautiful. Before I could complete my Ava’s order I had to give it stars.

My main complaint is what was delivered, was not what I ordered or paid for. This gift was an apology gesture and the "bouquet" of flowers that was delivered looked like they were recycled. Like, they make rounds to hospitals that have them left over and accept them as donations. Some of which were picked from gardens, homemade. There were not as many flowers as pictured, not the same flowers as pictured, not as colorful as pictured and some of the flowers were DYING! The "bouquet" was not even symmetric. I don't even think there were twelve stems! I paid over a hundred dollars for this gift that actually turned into an INSULT to the recipient!

    My children and I were extremely excited to place this floral arrangement with Avas Flowers for my parents, their grandparents. Today is their 69th Wedding Anniversary! I received the text it was delivered. When my Mother showed me via FaceTime the arrangement, I could see she wasn't too happy with the appearance. I definitely wasn't happy. It did not look at all, like the beautiful large Pastel Grace and Wonder arrangement we had ordered. We even paid extra for a matching bow, and they had left that off as well. I went on their website to let them know my concerns, they reimbursed me for the matching bow. I couldn't help but notice next to my arrangement was another one my parents received. It was stunning! I asked my mother where did it come from. She told me Final Touch on 20 Designer Street in Kingstree. I will be placing future orders with them.

    Tomorrow is my mother's birthday! We had also placed an order for the large Thoughtful Tidings Basket, with a matching bow which was to be delivered today as well. I thought it was strange, they didn't deliver both orders at the same time. So I waited, and waited, and called my mother. She didn't receive her birthday gift, the fruit basket. I called to get an update, the Agent informed me that it would not be delivered today, which I was assured it would be, prior to me placing the order. I expressed my disappointment. The Agent reimbursed me $11.25, which I think is unacceptable. The Agent said it would be delivered Monday, a day after my mother's birthday.

    I had ordered from them years ago and wasn't satisfied, but I believe in second chances. I was really hoping they had improved on their service and performance. After spending over $250, I wouldn't recommend this company to no one, and would advise any floral cooperation to remove them as a vendor. They are not a good representation of any company through an online service. This would be my last time ever placing an order with them.

    DO NOT BUY FLOWERS FROM AVAS FLOWERS. This was the most painful experience I have ever had ordering over the phone. Usually when I order Flowers the total transaction takes ten to 15 minutes, even when I special order. The call to order took 45 minutes. I wanted a bouquet of flowers in a vase. I was told I couldn't order what I wanted. Quote from the person taking the order, "This is what I have ordered for you".

    There is so much more to the story, but I will keep it short. After almost giving up on the verbal messaging challenge, the order was placed. I texted my son to let me know when the flowers arrived. He sent a picture of his fiance holding the flowers. BTW, I had charged close to $60 to my credit card. It looked like someone had gone to the Stop and Shop, picked out the last $15 bunch of wilted flowers and sent those. NO VASE. I was so embarrassed I called my future daughter in law and apologized for such a shoddy presentation.

    After getting off the phone from another 45 minute conversation with a supervisor, my frustration was palpable. So I gave myself some time, before I composed this review. I thought I had done my due diligence, but had mixed up, in my mind, the florist that I thought had received glowing reviews with this shop.

They continued to call me and ask if they were delivered, a week later they never were. They would call me and say they would be delivered that day, no time given, just told me to be home. Not sure who can just sit around at home 24/7 for a week straight but that's what they told me I should be doing. They were very rude when and not apologetic at all.

    I ordered red and white spray for my daughter in law grandmother who passed away and owns the mortuary where I asked to have the flower arrangement delivered. They never received the arrangement and after 5 days of trying to get a delivery confirmation they sent me a forged piece of paper you cannot make out a name. I know some signatures you can’t read the name but no one at the mortuary signs like that. It is a family business and they would have liked to receive the flowers in honor of the owner. I went to the funeral and my arrangement was not there. They stole my money.

    This is probably the Worst experience I've ever had with having flowers delivered to my granddaughter for her birthday. I ordered a beautiful bouquet. It's called sun, moon and star costing me a $103 and ended up with 5 yellow roses in a blue vase. They told me on the phone that they will replace it within the hour. 3 hours later I called and they said the driver was in my area. I never heard back and they never answered my call after that.

    My boyfriend had placed an order for a bouquet of flowers and a teddy bear to be sent to me with specifically a note and stated hand delivered, which he said he paid extra for. During the order, he also requested that it had full of flowers. He had text me that day and asked me if I had received anything and when I checked, it was sitting outside on the porch on a rainy, windy day, and a clear, glass vase and a teddy bear thrown in an old Walmart bag when I brought it upstairs I have to say it was going to be hard for me to let him know how awful and plain this bouquet of roses are And the teddy bear had the price tag still on it for five dollars and he said he paid an extra $18 for that bear. Which was really a dragon with horns. Although he was embarrassed, I asked him how much it cost and he said it was $137 for something I wouldn’t even pay $20 for.

    Although this was a surprise, I took into matters in my hands and requested that they give him a full refund and told him I will return their bouquet of flowers to the location it was sent from and after about an hour we’re running around they finally issued a refund And then said that someone will come and pick it up yet they didn’t give us a date or time so that’s their problem because I’m not gonna sit home waiting. This was a terrible experience and although my boyfriend felt bad, I know the thought that counts, and I love him, but I would never order from this place again.

    On Wednesday, January 3, 2024, I ordered a Large red, white, and blue sympathy floral standing basket for my friend's husband's veteran funeral that was scheduled for Sunday, January 7th at 11:00 AM - I paid to have it delivered to the Funeral Home on Saturday, the 6th by 5:00 PM to be sure it arrived on time. I received an email confirmation of my order with a photo of the item I ordered.

    Shortly after the funeral on January 7th, my friend texted and thanked me for the lovely Peace Lily my family had sent and I was shocked. PEACE LILY? I texted her back and said "You got a Peace Lily? Please send me a photo of it and the card that came with it.” She confirmed by sending me a photo of the lily and the card with my family's message inside from Williams Florist 2 in Charlotte, NC.

    I tried to find a phone number for AVAS FLOWERS but they don't seem to have a phone number anywhere online. It’s like they are hiding it because their service is abysmal. I am beyond upset that my friend's veteran husband did not receive the flowers we ordered to honor him for his service to our country and that I was not contacted and given a chance to cancel my order and order from a florist that COULD deliver the arrangement I ordered. It's not like you can ask for a redo of a funeral. What a disastrous experience.

    I used AVA’s contact form on their website to complain. They offered me a $30 credit on a $140 flower arrangement. I said that was unacceptable and I wanted the Peace Lily picked up, and the arrangement I paid for delivered to my friend, and that I wanted proof of delivery in the form of a photo of my friend with the flowers, or her signature on the delivery receipt that she should also have a copy of. They very reluctantly agreed.

    I received a phone call on the morning of January 11th saying my order was delivered yesterday, January 10, 2024 to my friend at her home. I texted my friend, and asked if she had received the delivery. She said she did NOT receive the flowers and that nobody from the florist had called her and she knew they were supposed to call ahead because they are to pick up the Peace Lily that was delivered instead of what I had ordered.

    I called AVAS Flowers back on the number my phone captured and said I had a call that the flowers had been delivered to my friend but that it wasn’t true, that I talked with her and she doesn’t have them. Ava’s said that they had to hear that from my friend, so I waited on hold while they called her. They said they didn’t know why I had gotten that call because they only communicate by email on the status updates of orders. They said they would investigate and make sure the order was going out to my friend. I said to please request proof of delivery; preferably a picture of my friend with the flowers I ordered for her husband’s funeral this past Sunday.

    On the morning of January 11th Ava’s sent an email saying the flowers had been delivered and that they would be sending over the proof of delivery I requested by email. I immediately texted my friend to ask if she had received the flowers and she said NO. That nobody had called and nobody had come to the house. I CALLED Ava’s and complained that they had not told the truth once again because my friend had NOT received the flowers and I never got the proof of delivery. Ava’s said they would investigate.

    About 4 hours later, my friend called me to say she was home all day and she could see the front door from the chair she sits it. Her insurance agent came that afternoon and when my friend answered her front door, the agent held up the flower arrangement and said “Someone left this flower arrangement SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR DRIVEWAY DOWN BY THE MAILBOX.” I immediately contacted Ava’s and asked for the proof of delivery.

    Today, January 12th, they finally emailed it to me at 5:37 PM. The proof of delivery was not what was promised. The proof of delivery was a photo of her mailbox, and the reason for that is that the local florist (probably Williams again) did NOT call Millie to make sure she would be home, they did NOT go to the house and knock or ring the doorbell or try her cell number. They did NOT leave the flowers at her front door or anywhere near her house.

    My friend lives on a heavily traveled street, and the florist was probably hoping that someone would stop and steal the flower arrangement so my friend would never get it and then fall back on the photo of her mailbox as proof they delivered the flowers to her. I cannot begin to find the words to describe what a nightmare this whole thing has been. I am surprised this company is still allowed to be in business. I am NOT surprised their company pays for sponsored ads on Google but does NOT have a Google Business page where people can leave reviews. But I see now they have very negative reviews in a lot of other places online, and I should have checked those places out first. I wish there was a way to post the photos I have of everything.

    2nd attempt at posting this review. Like many many reviews before mine stated I wish I’d checked the reviews before placing an order and & I wish I could give them ZERO stars. Ordered flowers for my BFF’s birthday 1/8/24 for same day service to deliver to her at work. I received a text stating that there was an issue with my order and to call asap.

    Called and after being passed around several times finally got to have a conversation with someone about my order. Was told that they didn’t have the flowers for the arrangement online and if I would approve a Designer’s Choice selection that would be similar and beautiful. Said yes as long as delivered on time today. Promised that they would be. Okay, thought about it called back to cancel since it was close to 2pm and probably wouldn’t be delivered before close of business.

    1st phone call guy placed me on hold then after a couple of minutes hung up on me. Called back. 2nd time finally got someone that I could actually understand. Tried to cancel, offered me $10, $15, $20, $25...to keep order, which I refused, then since I wouldn’t accept a partial refund, said I’d already approved a substitution so the system wasn’t allowing a cancellation. Seriously! Didn’t believe it for a minute. She confirmed that the order had neither been fulfilled nor delivered. And said that I’d agreed to a next day delivery which was a blatant lie and not even mentioned by the previous agent. That would’ve been an immediate NO. Why agree to send flowers the day after the birthday. Just no.

    Save yourself the frustration of dealing with these people and go local which by the way is what I believed that I was doing. They don’t have a brick and mortar at any location. I believe they lure you in with the designs online and try to get someone local to make it for half the price that they charge you which is why the arrangements are small and completely different from what’s online. If by some miracle my BFF receives the arrangement today (at this point ever - expectations are low) I’ll definitely be shocked. I’ve already kissed the $80 plus I spent goodbye.

How disappointed I was to see what was delivered. If you don't have 3rd end parties that can make the arrangement, you shouldn't be using them. I sent pictures to customer service with no response. Ok, live and learn. So then they send me a survey. I told them of my disappointment. Their reply was "because I didn't reach out to them within 48 hrs all they would is give me $20 toward future purchases". Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

    I ordered a floral arrangement and added a Mylar balloon for my friends birthday. At the time of my order, I was promised that it would be delivered on 12/30 and that I will be notified via email when it was delivered. I did not receive any notifications concerning delivery. So I went online to research if it was delivered. No info was found there. I was desperate to get answers because I paid $90 plus but then it recommended I use their chatbot. Waste of time, chatbot can only do the minimum and it didn’t answer my question about delivery. Very frustrated at this point.

    On 12/31 I received a phone call from one of their agents (Jeff). There was so much noise pollution in the background I could not hear Jeff. When I asked what’s all that popping noise, he told me it was fireworks and he was sorry. I asked him to move to a new location or indoors, but he didn’t care, he kept on apologizing. So irritating! Worst customer service I’ve encountered in my life. I told Jeff that this service was unacceptable but he didn’t care. After waiting 10 minutes, I was then transferred to an executive person named Pamela. She was nice, but made excuses and kept on apologizing. Customers want results, not excuses.

    We had a death in the family and I sent the widow a Peace Lily Plant from Avas Flowers. The picture online showed several white lilies on the plant. They advertised a $9.99 delivery fee which sounded reasonable. What they don't tell you is they tacked on another $24 "service fee." While outrageous, I had already spent time picking the plant, writing the sympathy card, etc. so I placed the order. The recipient sent me a picture of the plant she received. It is a big, green plant with ZERO flowers on it. No blooms. No fully opened flowers. Nothing.

    When you call Avas, you get transferred and bounced around. Placed on hold. Then you speak with representatives that do not speak very good English. The rep I spoke to had no interest in seeing the pictures I had. She just wanted to open a ticket and have the "designer" check on the quality. What?

    Because Avas Flowers' website was not user-friendly, I ended up having to phone. The person continuously tried to upsell. It was annoying because I knew exactly what I wanted. On top of the cost of the flowers, fees were added for everything including the gift card enclosure. She tried to charge me for shipping even though the site said free shipping. When I refused to pay for shipping she said maybe the flowers would be delivered that day--she couldn't promise. However, they were delivered but were NOT the same as pictured. They do provide a disclaimer that product may not be exactly as described on their website but the difference was shocking! Ended up costing almost $100.00 and was half the size.

    1) 12/21, I called for a Jeweled Symphony Bouquet for $47.99. Not available.
    2) Agent offered substitution of colored roses (for more $, but I would not be charged). I affirmed.
    3) The final bill was $82.00+ with free delivery. Why the extra $34.01? Perhaps a bit of tax, but the rest is due to “service fees”??? Service fees were charged for “fresh” flowers! What do you usually sell? Scam?
    4) Was asked to call and confirm the agreement with the swap to roses. Spoke to John on 12/22? (I don’t even like roses!) I agreed. Delivery was to be 12/23. I asked if my son - who lives less than 3 miles from the shop!) could come and pick the flowers up as they were heading to CT that night. I was told no.
    5) Within 10 minutes (I reviewed my call log) I called back & spoke to Erica & asked to change the delivery date from 12/23 to 12/27. This was on 12/22. She confirmed that the date had been changed.
    6) 12/23 I received a confirmation email that the flowers had been delivered!!!
    7) I called Ava’s 6 times today to resolve this issue. The IVR hung up on me five times!!! Yet you wanted me to take a survey? Seriously?
    8) Final call was a “Supervisor” (with a toddler yelling in the background so it was difficult to hear!) who did not resolve this issue to my satisfaction and was inflexible as well as implied that I was not treating Ava’s fairly! Every call was unsatisfactory except the call with Erica that truly didn’t matter because either she didn’t do her job OR your process does not work. It should have been able to modify the delivery date as it was 24 hours ahead of time. I called before noon.
    9) The Supervisor instructed me to call someone to pick up the flowers and hold them until my recipient returns on the 27th. Really? I live in Maine. They live in a new house in MA. How am I supposed to know their neighbors?
