I ordered my sweetie roses for Valentine's Day. I emailed to check the status and Blooms Today said they contacted all local florist and cancelled my order because no one could deliver today. Could they not have told me that last night when I ordered so I could have made other arrangements. Now NO ROSES NO VALENTINE'S DAY!

The flowers that you prepared were not complete. There were supposed to be 5 white lilies included and there were no lilies in the bouquet at all. I paid for special handling but the covering on some of the flowers was not even removed. This detracted to the look of the rest of the flowers. The flowers that were there were nice but it seemed empty without the lilies.

I paid for expedited shipping to get an arrangement to a funeral parlor for visiting hours. Was guaranteed it would arrive before the services. It didn't. Not sure where the flowers ended up. Called to complain. First offered me just a refund of the shipping fee. Had to further complain to get full refund.

When ordering flowers, they signed me up as a member without my knowledge, a $9.99 charge every month without me knowing it and bill my credit card that amount every month. I called to remove the charges. She said I had to call back in a week to remove the membership charge. I called visa to stop the unwanted charges.

The company had the products I was looking for and when I needed help I was able to ask customer service to provide me with direction and assistance. Product delivered on time and were in good condition at the time they arrived however they did not provide good customer service at delivery. There were many products available but the style of the available products were too similar that it felt like there were few items to choose from. Very expensive for the product received. I can get a much better product at the local florist for a cheaper price and they deliver for free.

They were quick to answer and knowledgeable about the services and products. They gave me great things to use besides what I was looking for. The delivery was fast and on time for the occasion I needed for. I had to pay for shipping but only because I was outside the US. It would have been free if I was home. They had a lot of different variety of things to choose from but I was stuck on this in particular item and I knew what I wanted when I was calling for my services. It was kind of costly. I would have rather pay a cheaper price but because it was a good product and service I was glad I will pay for a better product and service.

Customer service far exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how polite, cooperative, and easy to work with this company was. I would happily do business with them again. There were not many delivery options but they had exactly what I needed and my order arrived promptly as promised. I couldn't believe how reliable they were. I had so much to choose from. I found products that are amazing for many upcoming occasions and I found the perfect flower arrangement that I needed at the moment. It was the first time ever I felt like I got my money's worth from a flower delivery company. The order looked exactly like it did on the website and arrived fresh and damage free.

Their customer service was great, always friendly and helpful. I didn't have one complaint or issues. I would definitely recommend that to anyone. Their delivery options were great anywhere. From next day to a schedule day for birthday or whatever. I was very happy with this part. More variety than I needed. They have more than enough. My order was kinda simple. From what I saw looked like a lot to choose from. The value was excellent.

It was a very good experience and it was a very good job and I enjoyed it. I will shop there again. The delivery options were very good and helpful. I would recommend this to all of my family and friends and we'll use this service in the future and will recommend it. There could have been a little bit more of a variety but I was able to find what I needed and get my order filled. I think that it was a very good value and that they offer some good value for the money.

I ordered flowers for a wake - the one and only time I ordered flowers from Blooms Today. After the customer rep took my information and credit card for payment for the flowers was I then bombarded with all kinds of options for rewards discounts etc. I said no thanks to everything this person asked. I finally got fed up and told the cust rep that I was only ordering flowers for a wake and needed nothing else end of conversations. Next thing we know our credit card is being charged $9.99 for the past 3 months for rewards I never asked for. Unreal. I had to call my credit card comp to file a case. Keep an eye on your credit card statement for a 9.99 charge a month whether you said no or not.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE customer service! I ordered flowers and a balloon for my mother's 72nd birthday. They called me the evening of her birthday to inform me that they could not get the flowers delivered that day as promised, but they for sure would deliver them the next day (Saturday). I called my mother to apologize and to assure her that the flowers would get delivered the next day. The EVENING of the next day they called again to say that they could not find a flower shop to adhere to their pricing schedule, and therefore the flowers did not get delivered AGAIN! NOT MY PROBLEM!!! I paid $76 to make this happen. I did my part - they did not!!! RUN, RUN, RUN from this company. DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Beautiful arrangement but ridiculous charges. I'm not sure I would pay to use them again. I don't like the amount of fees they charge to deliver. Expensive for what other companies offer. I think it should be less. I wouldn't use this company again because of their fees. I am not pleased with the way they delivered. They had a decent selection. I was pleased with the arrangements and themes they offered. But compared to bigger brands, they don't have quite as much. But their prices aren't that great either. So overall I was just satisfied. Poor value for the prices and fees they charge. Also the selection is just okay. There are better sites to order floral arrangements. I won't be doing this again.

I didn't really have to interact with much customer service which is a good thing. I didn't have any issues with ordering or anything. It was a bit pricey but not horrible. I've had issues with other services like this but you guys weren't bad at all. To be honest not as good as other flower shops I've walked into and so. It wasn't bad per se but not super great either. Maybe some more exotic options. They are flowers – they died in a week but they were pretty and brought joy but you know it's not like my life was CHANGED by this bouquet.

The customer service was great. Didn't know what I really wanted and they helped pick and put an order together. I / their service to family and friends. They were able to deliver wherever you wanted the arrangement to go. They gave many options on how to send them so they would get there fresh and beautiful. Had no idea what flowers went together. They had such a variety of flowers and helped me arrange them in a price range I could afford. Will definitely try them again for other occasions.

Easy to deal with whenever I have a problem. And also happy to help me when I need it but I usually don't need help because their website is easy to use. I had it delivered to a friend's house and it was on time. My friend received the package at her front door and said everything was in great shape. The bouquet has several different types of flowers. I am not a flower person but it was pretty and colorful. It was a good value. Yes it is expense but when you think about what you are getting it's a great deal compared to some of the others.

They were very kind hearted people. They answered all the questions I had and made my visit very pleasing. I would recommend this company to anyone. I will go back next time I need flowers. They are great. They had quite a few different options for shipping. I enjoyed the choices I could choose from. They were also very good at making sure my flowers were delivered on time at the place I needed them. They had so many different options of flowers. It made it kind of hard in a way to pick some for what I needed. So I just asked for some help and they knew exactly what I needed. For the price I paid the flowers were fantastic. They lasted a very very long time. Still looked the same a week later after they were delivered to the location.

I did not like the customer service. They were slow to respond and did not even help out in the end. I had wasted $100. Though in the end I got a discount. They were fast to deliver the product. It took 3 day to get it, which is great. The delivery person was nice too, even brought it inside my house for me so I did not have to carry it. They have enough different kinds to satisfy anyone really. I love the dark colors – the best. They remind me of my emo days and listening to mcr. Though they could have a option to make your own. The value is either bad or good, depends on what you want. Some of the stuff I liked cost too much I did not want it. But some of the stuff I liked was cheap.

I absolutely love Blooms and was pleasantly surprised when I received the flowers as a gift. Now I am hooked and only order from them. Their customer service is fabulous and they really care about their customers. They have superior delivery options and always deliver on time. They have so many options to choose from that it's hard to settle for one specific kind and you find yourself choosing more than one. Order from them and you will not regret it.

I feel that the customer service is good and available for twenty four hours a day seven days a week and I would recommend it to any one that wants to use this service. There is a bucket load of options for delivery and anyone should try it, at least once-in-a-lifetime. For any flower service the pricing isn't bad either. The variety of the flowers is outrageous you can get just about any flower you desire of. Like this service a lot. Great value for the money and any other questions you may have there is a majority of customer service that will help you with your every need. Delivery is fast.

Was a very easy and fast transaction. I loved the arrangement. I purchased it to go to my daughter's work as a surprise for her birthday and it was delivered just as promised. Delivery options are many, even same day is available. I think there are various fees added if I remember correctly but they were not anything too expensive at all. Huge variety of flowers and plants and special gifts such as stuffed animals and balloons and candies. Also categorized by occasion as well for helpful navigation. Was a beautiful day as well, we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. The gorgeous flower arrangement just made it even more special.

The flowers came cut fresh full of good colors. It was easy to order. The process went very, very smooth and I enjoyed being able to see them for weeks and weeks. Overall it was a very, very good experience. One that I would recommend for others. Delivery options are very easy. Once I made my order they were able to contract with local flower shops to get me exactly what I was able to order. The flowers came in good containers that were fresh and made it wonderful bouquet.
The variety of flowers was great. They were really nice, colorful, smelled great. Some daisies, some irises, some Columbine ferns, some leaves, some baby's breath. It was very nice and the variety was great. I was able to choose from a variety of different flowers too.. Whatever saved for the price was a very good deal. I would recommend other people to shop here because of how simple the process was, the quality of the product that is of the order, and how simple everything was.

I thought the customer service was very helpful. They assisted me in selecting the flowers for my occasion. The flowers were great upon receipt. The delivery options were acceptable. I had it planned for some time. The order was placed several days prior so I just used normal shipping. The variety of flowers was numerous. It was hard to pick but with assistance the choice was narrowed and made a great choice. Very happy with the choice. The value was in line with other flowers delivery stores. Still not as cheap as non-delivery option but great nonetheless. Stayed within budget and happy with selection.

Gentlemen, further to your flowers delivered to funeral home, the flowers delivered were not representative of what was pictured on your website (on your site they were enlarged) nor when I ordered was there any mention of delivery chargers. Flowers delivered were the worst in the entire funeral home. I was embarrassed and had to apologize to the family. The flowers sent, were similar to flower bouquets at Walmart priced at $14.99. Your company should be ashamed for selling this type of product at $83.98.

Ordered funeral easel-type arrangement online on the 16th. Did not receive order confirmation e-mail, so I called customer service next day. Was told to check "junk mail" but they re-sent order confirmation. Did not receive either e-mail (and was NOT in junk mail). Called customer service on the 18th; still no e-mail. Family member confirmed flowers received, but not the easel-type ordered. No way to determine if the arrangement received was close in cost to amount charged to credit card. My guess is that local florist simply sent what they had.

I specifically ordered a sympathy arrangement they had shown that had 3 peace lilies, greenery, and a cream wicker basket to be delivered to the home of my best friend whose mother passed. Peace lilies are her favorite flowers. What arrived was not comparable except it had a few green plants. She received a plastic brown square container with a black & white ribbon with about a dozen daisies which wilted the next day and were completely dead within 3 days. I usually send very pretty flowers to her so she called and told me that my card did not match what was in the basket... I was embarrassed.
I complained and the supervisor told me that they would give me half off which I agreed but got an email the next day of 10.00 off which everyone gets according to the site date of 01.29.2016. Please be aware that even if you do ask for certain details to be honored... there's always that fine print! Thought I would try and save a little money... but, unfortunately got a lot less. Going to spend the extra few dollars and go with the company that I usually deal through from now on.

I ordered a flower to be delivered on Friday, August 14, 2015 at 12 noon, since the service was to be held on Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 11 a.m. An email had been sent stating that they needed to substitute the plant since they were not able to prepare the exact one that I had ordered. I verified that the substitution would be fine. After checking with relatives after the funeral, they stated that the plant was never delivered. Called back to see what happened, representative stated that she wasn't sure where the ball was dropped.
During the conversation, I asked the representative for a free delivery, she stated that she could give me a discount. I decided to have the plant delivered to the relatives house on Sunday, August 16, 2015. The supervisor called and left a voicemail stating that they didn't have a florist in the area opened on Sundays. I called back and spoke with another representative and stated that Monday, August 17, 2015 would be fine for delivery, trying to be understanding since not all florist are opened on Sundays. Spoke with my relative again and asked them to let me know when plant arrives.
Today is Tuesday, August 18, 2015 and the plant has yet to be delivered. Called the representative a few minutes ago and asked her to cancel whatever order they had and make sure that my credit card is not charged for a plant that was never delivered.

Wanted to send flowers to my sister who broke her leg. FTD (normal florist) couldn't deliver when I wanted so I tried using Blooms Today. What a joke. Definitely don't recommend doing business with these folks. Upon ordering very early in am (7-8) and paying for same day service, nothing was delivered. I called to check on order when at 7 pm I still hadn't received either notice from Blooms Today or my sister. The customer service rep didn't even seem interested in helping me, giving me a big run around. Finally, I get a manager who gives me a bunch of excuses... florist busy, florist doesn't deliver there, we sent to wrong florist... on and on. She then assures me they'll be delivered the next day. Didn't even offer to give me a discount until I pressed her.
The middle of next day I get email saying order cancelled because they still couldn't find a florist. Hello that's what you do!! Then when I called again the lady asks me if I want to buy a mail order delivery set of flowers for delivery on Sat. No, I don't. What I wanted was for you to deliver my initial order. Why would I even give you a 3rd chance when you couldn't do it right the first two? You should be sending a nice arrangement from somewhere for free!!!! Awful 1st impression. Misrepresentation. No communication with customer until too late to do anything. Bad attitude of customer service reps. Very disappointed with Blooms Today.

I ordered a bouquet of flowers to be sent to my uncle on the loss of his wife. In addition to the flowers, I had a tree planted for her and printed out a certificate all from Blooms Today. They were to be delivered on 6-26-15 by noon. At 1:08 pm pacific time, 4:08 pm eastern time in Virginia, on 6-26-15, where Blooms Today is located, after placing the order on 6-25-15, I got a message there are no florists in that area. This is false. I've been there. There maybe none that work with this company, (and I see why) but they are there.
I called them to find out what could be done only to find they processed a refund that would not be available for 3-5 days! No refund however for printing out the certificate or our mailing materials. So no flowers and no tree and no money to fix it. Other family members were involved. This is inexcusable. Websites have been able for many years to instantly tell you if they cannot deliver or provide services to any area once you put in the address. For shame Blooms Today!

I placed an order ** on Friday 6/5/15 looking for a bouquet of flowers that would be delivered by Saturday 6/6/15. I found a bouquet I liked and purchased it with the website guarantee that it would be delivered the next day with the added "Saturday delivery fee" which I paid for. I needed these for a friend who would be traveling out of the country and expected them to be there on Saturday, as promised.
On Monday I spoke to my friend who first I thought was being rude by not thanking me for the flowers, I later came to know when I asked, that she had never received the order. I immediately called and demanded an explanation, the representative could only say there was a "technical difficulty" with the local florist and that is why my order wasn't delivered. They weren't planning on letting me know the order never went out and just keep my money??? She asked if I still wanted them delivered!! Unbelievable! It sure was easy for them to charge my account for the order. They emailed me a coupon for $10 off the next order. Like if I plan to use their company again! Ridiculous and very unprofessional! First and last time I do business with Blooms Today.

I was unable to attend my brother's funeral in Colorado although I wanted to be with my family. The only thing I could do, aside from praying, was send flowers. I ordered the funeral spray on the 16th of May so they would be in time for viewing on the 17th. They guarantee same day delivery. I received a phone call at appx 5 pm on the 17th that they couldn't find anyone to deliver. Of course I was distraught. They said they could try to get delivery for the following day. As my brother's funeral and burial was on the following day I told them it wasn't good enough.

My wife ordered flowers through this site only to find that we also got signed up for ID Worldwide behind our backs to the tune of $20 a month! This is a total breach of trust and is most likely illegal, sending our VISA number to another company behind our backs. ID Worldwide claimed on the phone that we agreed to signing up and gave them our Social Security number during the flower ordering call which is total BS. We know better than to do that and my wife claims she never did. I can't locate the order number because it looks like they never sent an email confirming the order, but the flowers were delivered. This company should be fined and shut down!

I ordered mother's day flowers on 05/04, plenty of time to be delivered on time. They were scheduled for 05/08, but they never showed with the flowers. We were hopeful they would be delivered on Saturday or maybe Sunday but nope. I called them on Saturday but they are apparently closed on one of the busiest flower time of the year (that speaks volumes). I called on Monday and they said they couldn't give me a reason why flowers were not delivered but offered me nothing. So I just cancelled the order and mother got no flowers.

I called and spoke to the most rude, obnoxious customer service agent. She told me they had cancelled my order. I asked why and she told me they needed the name of the bank that issued my credit card, their phone number, and additional information. I told them that this sounded like a scam and I was not going to give them any additional information than the standard info. required to make an online purchase.
The agent became belligerent and hung up the phone. I called back and another agent refused to pass me to a supervisor and purposefully called me by the wrong name several times and laughed about it.

Well, I waited for the call to let me know she got them... silence all day... I called the hosp. and nothing. No one delivered flowers she said.

So after sending my friend's son to track down anyone who comes near the front desk, we found him. It seems that ** was a warehouse worker passing by the front desk and was asked to sign for the flowers. Then he had to find him thru a radio of another worker to have the flowers sent from the warehouse to the hospital. For the stress and aggravation all this took, I could have drove the 4 hours and delivered them myself... unbelievable... Anyone can sigh and take your flowers, and the bad part is the front desk had no idea they were even delivered.

I am an actual florist and we have problems all of the time with Blooms Today, From You Flowers, Avas Flowers, and several other order gathering systems.. That is what these companies are!! They are order gatherers and are not actual florists. They take your order charge a huge fee (they always offer sales on the flowers.. if they are offering a dozen roses for $19.99 on sale question it!!). These prices are well below what it costs for an actual florist to fill the order.. Say you paid $150 for the order by the time it gets to the florist the amount given to the florist is probably closer to the $80-100 mark.
Please whenever you place an order call a LOCAL florist. Yes, they can make mistakes - after all everyone is human but they will take care of it for you. Most true florists will stand behind their work and quality. Also when calling your local florist make sure they are local!! Some order gathering systems are now listing themselves as your local florist!! Whenever you call ask for their address and make sure it is either in the town or a surrounding town.. When in doubt call a local chamber of commerce.

They don't offer tracking services on their website, nor do they extend calls/emails to let you know where your flowers are, so the customer is forced to contact their customer service reps, who are completely clueless.

When I ask to speak to a supervisor I was declined several times and told they cannot transfer me. Turns out that $140 I paid for flowers Blooms Today took a cut in another company, took a cut off the floor shop that was actually doing my flower order, and only got a hundred and five dollars for an arrangement when I paid $140.

Then today, Mother's Day, a Sunday, I got an email cancellation and a voicemail that says, "Sorry, our florists in that area can't accommodate any more deliveries on Mother's Day. We'll cancel your order and refund your money within 5-7 business days. You can place a new order if you want it delivered Monday," which is so not Mother's Day. Are you serious? You've had my order and my money for almost a week, and you wait until this morning when I have no way to order from another more reputable vendor to cancel my order? Then you won't give me my money back for another week?
And of course, when I called the 800 number in their email cancellation, I got a recorded message and the news that their customer service people will be in on Monday. So no one I can even speak with. Now my mother, who I can't be with on Mother's Day (since I live in CA), has nothing.

I contacted Blooms Today and asked them to deliver them to my home instead. They arrived at our home at 3:15 pm on 5/12/12.

This is not what I ordered or even remotely close. I had to run to a florist and buy a dozen white roses to fill in where the dead lilies were. The florist that delivered this is about 20 miles from our home. We have 5 florists within a 6-mile radius of our home. I will never, ever order another arrangement from Blooms Today.

I called 5 times, someone should have fixed this. They said it must have been a glitch in the system, but they made sure to take the funds out of my account.

I ordered flowers from Blooms Today for valentines day. They cost a lot and when I got the flowers, they looked cheap, no color. They looked like a bad yellow, I'm not happy at all.

I placed my Valentines order with Blooms Today on Feb 9th with a delivery date of Feb 14th. Aside from automatically being signed up for their rewards program, which costs $9.99 and cannot be canceled until 22 days later, I received my confirmation number and my account was charged within minutes with no indication or messages of any problems with receiving the product and services that I had paid for. On Feb 14th, at 8:03, my wife sends me a text saying, "Ok, I thought that you would send me flowers... Disappointed." Needless to say, the flowers never showed up and the customer service number only provided a pre-recording that stated that all orders are in process for delivery and if there are any problems to call back tomorrow at 8:00AM.
Now that my Valentines Day was single-handedly destroyed by Blooms Today, I promptly called back the next day to only be told that they were very sorry and that I was entitled to a refund or a delivery at a later time. No manager to escalate the matter to and no other options? How does a company stay in business with that kind of customer service? You screw up, for whatever reason, and fail to deliver the product and service that you advertised you would. Then you don't even try and make it all right with your customer. I mean how do you not refund the total amount and follow through with your obligation of delivering some type of apologetic flower arrangement? BBB, here I come!

I placed a order on 2/10/12, for flowers and candy to my wife for our 39th anniversary, to be delivered 2/14/12. They never made the delivery. They never contacted me and they had promptly charged my Visa card. Now, I've been trying to contact by phone this company, to no avail. They have a recording stating they can't answer the phone, try again later. Ten hours later, I realized that on their web page there is no way to email or even a customer service chat line available. Now, all I'm trying to do is get a credit to my Visa card for the $82.49 and cancel this order. At this time, I would hate to think that I am a victim of a major scam, as I have been checking complaint sites for this company, and have found tons of complaints for "Blooms Today". Highly upset.

I wanted to order flowers for a bereavement. I got the order placed and then was offered a discount if I would join their Rewards program for $9.99 per month and receive an immediate $35 discount on my current order. I joined, got my discount and then read the details of some of the programs available. After a week, I decided their programs were not worth the $9.99 per month fee.
I tried to cancel the membership and was told I could not cancel the membership until after I was member for 21 days because this is the amount of time "required to process your membership" from their website. I called them and was told the same thing. This is a scam to keep me enrolled. This company needs to change their terms. There are other flower companies available and I will go to one of them in the future.

On Saturday morning, December 31, I ordered African Violets sent to Barbara Stein in Panama City, FL. It was because of a death. I was called and told that it could not be delivered until Tuesday January 3. It was not delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday so I am still waiting. There should be something done to help me get over my anxiety and much time calling their representatives over this matter.

I ordered flowers via the Internet back in May. Unbeknownst to me, I recently realized that I was given a monthly membership to the company with a fee. Also, I was enrolled in an identity theft protection account with a monthly revolving fee. I called the company and found their customer service representatives to be defensive and unresponsive to my concerns. I asked to speak with a supervisor; I was told she was in a meeting. I questioned the charges and was told that their computers were down. I was told that a supervisor would call back, which never happened. The deceptive business practices, with the dreadful customer service, led me to contact your agency.

On May 6, 20011, I ordered items that came to the total of $102.58 from the company "Blooms Today" for a Mother's Day gift. On May 10, 2011, I received an email from them stating:
Dear Emely-May:
With reference to your order **, Blooms Today is unable to deliver the order as requested. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a florist that can deliver to the zip code provided in the recipient. This order has been cancelled and a full credit is being issued. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
It is now August 28, 2011 and I still haven't received my money back, when the company claims they stand behind their 100% money back guarantee. I've called them numerous amounts of time and they either tell me its customer service that we'll deliver your message or that they sent the request and it takes a few days.

I ordered flowers from Bloomstoday.com for a sick co-worker (it was on top of the Google search results) and noticed an extra $9.95 charge. Luckily, another search told me this was a monthly scam. I'm calling the company tomorrow and my credit card tonight. It's sad how any order from a top Google search result can lead to a scam. I won't trust Google search results anymore.

I ordered flowers on-line for a birthday present. The flowers were ordered on July 24th to be delivered on July 25th. In the comment box I asked that they be delivered in the morning and to please call first. I do understand that it said on the website that they would try to accommedate my request, but I guess they couldn't. The flowers were not delivered and the florist left a message to call for deliverly.
When the person that I sent the flowers to called, a man ansered as was very rude he said, when ever we get a chance we will deliver them. She waited three days and no flowers. When she called back he was rude again, she asked who was sending the flowers to her and he would not and of course he would not tell her. She told him to cancel the flowers and he hung up on her once again. She then had her granddaughter call and she was hung up on also. After a couple of days, she finally called me and asked if I had sent her flowers, I told her I did and she told me what happened.
I called the telephone number on the website I ordered the flowers from, (bloomstoday)on Aug 1, 2007 and spoke to Kay, Kay said she would have someone call me back and of course no return call. Aug 2, 2007, I called again and went through the same recording and waited 4 minutes and finally Heather picked up, I gave her my order number and told her that I ordered flowers and they were not delivered, she asked me to hold on. I thought I was being put on hold, but I was transferred to a recording, so not only couldn't I tell my story, but heather didn't tell me she was transferring me. I went through the recording and pressed all the buttons to get my refund. I hung up very upset that I could not even tell someone my experence.
I received a telephone call about 10 minutes later from Robert saying that they got my request for a refund and it would be processed. I then said to him that I am upset about the way they handle their complaints, that you get a recording and press buttons and no one to tell your complaint to. He said I could give him the information if I wish, which I did, but he was not even concerned. I told him that the person I was sending the flowers to was an 84 year old women and did not need to be upset by this, when the purpose of the flowers was to make her happy. I was so uphappy with the way this whole thing happened and the company that I ordered from was not even concerned.
