This year 2014, I went ahead and wanted to do something special for the wife so I place a huge order on flowers and gifts from ProFlowers. When checkout I used PayPal but with no options at all, the wrong card under PayPal was used. I quickly email and call to get that order cancel due to the wrong credit card on file that was used. The guy who I talked to was pretty nice but does not seem to make any sense. So I had to confirm with him a few times to make sure it was cancel. Sure enough I finally got a cancel email confirmation.
A couple of days later, I reorder the same items again but pay more due to the days getting close to Valentine's day. This time I did not use PayPal but manually enter my credit card numbers. I got an order confirmation and everything seems to be going fine. On Valentine's Day, the whole day I kept on checking my email to see if my order was complete since it was supposed to be a surprise delivery to my wife at work. Surely after 5 p.m. no emails about anything being deliver or no phone calls from my wife about any surprise delivery.
I then call ProFlowers like 20 times on three phones (at the same time) and waited an hour and a half to finally spoke to a person. My first question to the lady that was helping me was if she can please write or keep track of my phone number so that if our call gets drop she can call me right back. She told me I will have to wait again for another operator if that happens and she will not take my information. I felt maybe that was their policy so I went on and told her about my order not being deliver and after a one hour of talk and wait, she asked for my information. She did not want my phone at first now she wants it with my credit card. Then she said all she can come up with is a 15% discount and said she will proceed with my order WTF!
I told her I would not care for a 15% discount if it was deliver on Valentine’s day but if it is going to be 2 days after that why not give me free shipping? I requested a manager to help me with this and surely the supervisor took her time getting on the phone as I can hear her and people in the background laughing and chatting. When she finally got on the phone with me there was no apologies or not even an effort to help but just told me to email ProFlowers on their website. I told her to look up the records and see why my order did not get process. She told me it was cancel but she cannot confirm an email that was sent to me saying my order was cancel.
She then put me on hold for 30 minutes and came back saying I call and cancel my order so it was my fault. I then explain to her thick head that I did call to cancel my order but it was for the first order and when I did that I had to give them my order number, and then waited 2 days later to place my new order which would require an order number to cancel the order. So how did they cancel this new order on the same day as the first order without knowing my order number. The supervisor went quiet for a while then told me she can give me a 20% off on my next order which was really dumb since ProFlowers is already giving that out during the time.
Will never buy again from this place if they are going to keep operators and supervisors that when you call tells you to go and email to their website. The supervisor knew she was getting it bad. She would not even give me her name so I can reference it on my email to ProFlowers. Don't order from them as they will make it hard for you on flowers you can get from local stores. I have order before and flowers are nice and beautiful but customer service needs to be change, no effort whatsoever. Their operators are probably just there to pick up the phone sell products and would care less if your flowers get to you on time or is lost. Local florist put a lot of effort into selling their beautiful flowers. Forget about these operators and their help to get you your flowers.

I ordered a dozen roses in a red vase for my wife on Valentine's Day of this year. They did arrive on time, no problem there. But they looked practically dead: NOTHING like the picture!!! They looked about 4 or 5 weeks old, droopy, stale, like they had been sitting in a waterless vase for the past month. TERRIBLE!!! I would never ever order from this place again. It is a total rip off!!!!

I ordered a lily and iris flower arrangement ($40 with shipping) for my wife to be delivered the day before valentines day. I have used proFlowers in the past and was pretty happy with the quality of flowers. I would order a day early so that the closed buds had time to open for valentines day. Usually, the flowers would last about 7 days. Not so with this order.
First, the delivery came 2 days late; I received them the day after valentines day. Second, the box was left at the bottom of my driveway in the snow on a 20 degree day. The fedex man surely was not that dense to leave live flowers outside without notifying me? My wife is understanding so she happily placed her flowers in the vase that came with the arrangement expecting them to bloom and look pretty.
No such luck! Only a few flowers bloomed due to cold damage I guess. The final straw to make me not use proflowers ever again was their customer service did not make any attempts to return my emails when I contacted their customer service website to explain my gripe. Proflowers will advertise "deals" on your email but always remember that shipping and processing will be an additional $20.
If your flowers are shipped and delivered without cold damage and on time, then I am able to live with that price. But when you get a late delivery and cold damaged buds; spend $20 at the local grocery store on a comparable and usually better arrangement and use the other $20 that you saved to add to a dinner date. I do not recommend proflowers.

I sent what I expected to be a bouquet of lovely flowers to my boss and friend while she was ill. I paid extra for same day delivery. They failed to deliver to her and left with a neighbor even though they had her phone number. I had to ask if she got them and then call Proflowers to find out where they were. Then call her back to go over to the neighbors in her pajamas to get them. When she got the flowers, she sent a photo and thanked me which made me realize that the flowers were not even close to what I had ordered. The picture was lovely with several roses and many other flowers. This bouquet had about two flowers and a bunch or greenery that look artificial. I complained and they offered a $14 partial refund. I said no and that I wanted her to get the correct flowers. They said they would have the florist bring them but she needs to give them the old flowers. It is now several days later and still no flowers. I contacted them again and they said that they could not get in contact with the florist so they will proceed with the partial refund. Terrible customer service and the entire thing is a disaster. I wish I had never sent her flowers! Never Pro Flowers again!!!

My husband ordered flowers for me to arrive before Valentine's Day. He tracked them from California to Richmond, so it was not local delivery. The flowers arrived five days later on the evening of February 18. My husband contacted customer service and their remark was, "Well, they arrived, didn't they?" There was no offer to compensate him or send new flowers. When I opened the box, the roses were curled and brown around the edges. I cut the stems and placed them in a vase to enjoy for two days. We were disappointed with the delivery and the poor customer service and will not use this company again.

On 2/14, I placed an order with ProFlowers for a plant for my husband's birthday. I explained it was a business, and I provided the information as to where at this business my husband was located. Instead they delivered it to the address, but no one can tell me where it was delivered to! To add more insult to injury, the customer service rep said they could resend it the next day. I had already explained that it was his birthday today, not tomorrow. And to deepen the cut, the refund will take 5 to 7 days before my account is credited. I guess the deliverymen can't remember where they deliver packages. I deliver packages all day everyday, and I could tell you where I delivered them. Or a simple phone call to the deliveryman would have resolved the whole issue, but no one seemed to want to bother the deliveryman. With all that disappointment on my husband's special day, this was a bit too much for me. Never again. I will tell this story to all I know in the flowering business and everyday people who think they can depend on ProFlowers.

The boyfriend order me a dozen roses from them for Valentine's Day. I got them at 8:00 in the evening on Valentine's Day. They were delivered by UPS. He thought a local flower shop would have delivered them. They are awful. First night after cutting the stems and adding the food, one died. Two days later I have a dried flower arrangement. How disappointing for the boyfriend and I. I think if JD Powers rated them, it was not with a good rating. I also don't think the employees at JD Powers ever bought flowers from them. Just a waste of someone's hard-earned money.

I ordered Proflowers for my mother-in-law's birthday. The picture of the flower arrangement was VERY different than what was shown at checkout. The flowers came in a box bound wrapped up in a package just like you buy at a supermarket, with the vase on the side. So your loved one doesn't get the stunning flowers beautifully arranged as shown. They have to unwrap and unbind them fill the vase and arrange the flowers themselves. On top of that UPS delivers them, so they get left on a porch or jammed in a door without even trying to give the receiver notice that the flowers are there (EVEN IN THE SNOW!). Not good if the person does not know they are coming! I paid $55.00 for what looked like a nice arrangement, but when I saw the flowers and saw how they came, I could have done better actually going to a supermarket and doing it myself. I did not complain as I realized that Proflowers was just another company making you think they are giving you a deal. For what I paid I could have gone to the local florist and had it done right! Lesson learned, and learn from me!

I am going to provide you the same message I sent and called ProFlowers.com on and to what maybe a surprise to you, as it was myself zero was done to make this right.
My situation started when I place order number ** for my wife, who is the Assistant Store Manager at Nordstroms for two dozen long stem roses for Valentine's Day to be delivered on 2/12/2014. Needless to say, they never arrived. When my wife got home and didn't have the flowers with her I placed a call to ProFlowers.com immediately. I was told by a Mary that for whatever reason the order never went through.
Now dealing with 22 sites location and different systems, I do understand that issues can occur, but my complaint here was based on I never received a single call or email to inform me of this transmission failure. I then ask to speak to a manager and that's where a David had explained to me the unfortunate circumstance. However, David assured me that my wife was going to get her flowers on 2/14/2014 and he would personally call me for that confirmation on 2/14/2014. This new order was ** for two dozen red long stem roses.
Come 2/14/2014, I didn't receive a call from David, my wife is home once again and still no flowers. With the company she works around and at her position I felt horrible. She was the ONLY member in upper management at that location to not receive flowers/a delivery for Valentines Day out of seven executive members. She took it in stride as she does everything else, but I was far from forgiving as she was. At 7:02pm PST the flowers finally showed up (two hours after the 5pm PST business guarantee). The flowers were not only late they were pink and there was a total of 15, yes 15 (See attachment) and not 24 as I had ordered.
I am not only out $142, but this placed a true down mood for a day that should be special and a company who should be helping to enhance that mood, not ruin it! Words cannot express my feelings nor dissatisfaction with this entire time consuming and catastrophic failure upon your company's end. Going forward I will use your competitor and will articulate this situation to as many as I can to pull even more business from ProFlowers and I will make this a mission of mine.

First of all the flowers were suppose to be delivered on the 14th, but were delivered on the 13th, while the person was not in their office that day! After the flowers were delivered they were the most pathetic looking flowers that I have ever seen. I think my grandson could have went out to the barn yard and picked some weeds and would have looked better! Not anything like the picture portrayed.
Out of the 9, Iris's only 1 actually opened the rest of the buds just died. As well as the lilies only 3 of the 6 opened & the others the buds just died. And to think they added extra charges to the bill, so that you get the best looking and freshest flowers. Ha, ha never again will I buy from you, and to think they really push them on 2 popular radio stations. I wonder how much they get paid for the advertisement.

As a surprise, my husband order almost $100 in roses and other flowers for me for Valentine's Day. He waited for them to be delivered, and late in the afternoon on Valentine's Day, he began getting concerned. He opened the front door and the delivery man had basically threw the box on our front porch and didn't even bother to knock to let us know the delivery arrived. Since it's been freezing and snowy here, we have no idea how long they sat there.
Next, he opened the box only to unbudded and wilted roses with sick looking filler flowers that were broken. The vase was separate so apparently, you have to do your arrangement yourself. He tried to make them look decent in the vase, and when he presented them to me he was almost in tears. It was too late for him to get flowers elsewhere to replace the pathetic ones ProFlowers delivered. He then showed me the picture of what they had advertised and it was the most blatant case of misleading and deceptive advertising I've ever seen.
He has sent them a complaint, but it looks like we'll have to stand in line because it's apparent we weren't the only ones who have been deceived by these crooks. My husband was so upset by being duped and not having beautiful flowers to give me that it ruined our Valentine's Day. I hope others read these complaints before they buy anything from these thieves. It is obvious they could care less about their customers and are only in it to rip people off.

I purchased 3 Valentine's specials at $59.97 ea. I thought that was a good price and started the checkout process (Pro Flowers doesn't let you see the Total of the order until you've input all your CC info) so the total of the order instead of being $180.00 + some shipping after they add all of their bogus mark ups such as standard delivery, guaranteed delivery, care & handling, etc. is now $294.05. So I place the order thinking to myself the arrangements when they arrive will look very nice...WRONG!!! You get a box with LOW GRADE ROSES, a vase, and some instructions. Well I'm no florist and really don't have the time to make flower arrangements but I HAD TO. What a RIP OFF. I paid $300.00 for low grade roses and had to make the arrangements myself. Do yourself a favor. Stay away from Pro Flowers and go to your local Costco, supermarket or corner Joe selling flowers, get your flowers buy some vases and make it yourself. You will see what you're getting, and save a lot of money in the process.

Call me crazy but since it's valentine's day I was kinda hoping they would get delivered together. This is literally the first time I have ever taken the time to send a complaint.

Like the complaint above, be aware of additional charges you'll be faced with over and above the advertised price. The delivery charge shown is actually for the UPS carrier. This means chances are great the flowers will be sitting in the UPS truck, and in my case, all day long. To make matters worst, the driver left it at the front door with a statement 'No Signature Required'.
The ad said Long Stemmed Roses. The flowers we got were not. They gave you a couple of token 'greens' with the flowers... In short, you're hardly getting anywhere close to the pictured advertisement NOR will you be paying a 'discounted' price. The price advertised when I bought the dozen roses was $59. What I finally paid was $82.00. This is the last time I'm doing this with this company. Order from your neighborhood florist instead. See image below what they ultimately delivered as their 'Long Stemmed Roses'. I feel ripped off and more importantly dismayed since this was for my wife's Valentine's offering.

The Iris flowers were still tight in their bud form showing no color or degree of opening. The flowers were suffering from lack of water and cold temperature.

My husband delivered flowers to my job for Valentine's Day 2014. He ordered 24 long stem roses including red vase and chocolates. I got the delivery yesterday 2/13 right around 10:30am, perfect! I opened my box everything was nicely sealed and flowers were fresh and beautiful. I called my hubby to thank him and describe to him. My bouquet had 10 long stem and the rest were short (he ordered 24 LONG and paid the difference!) and no chocolates :( Needless to say what should have been a sweet and wonderful gesture which I still think it is, turned sour quickly.
Customer service did offer full refund or another shipment of same value. Of course I got a refund. My dilemma and my gripe really is that the recipient really has no idea what the sender truly ordered and what should really be in that box. If my husband hadn't asked for a description he wouldn't have known that I did NOT get what he purchased for me. My conclusion is that they (Proflowers) can definitely screw over the paying customer by shorting them and no one would ever really know. This stuff is NOT cheap and Proflowers should NOT do that, it is wrong and unethical! I hope that this doesn't happen often, really I don't. These flowers are truly beautiful and fresh and smell wonderful but definitely not worth what my hardworking husband paid for. I told him I love him for being thoughtful but don't ever do this. Just go to Costco and get me the same beauties for half price :)

The additional fees were never disclosed. Called to cancel order was told too late. Called the 800 # was told that I would get refund. We will see. I don’t recommend using this service. Dishonest about actual cost.

I go through online process and at last step skip out for reasons without ordering or getting a confirmation number (either at the end of the process or by getting confirmation in the followup email)... Later I get double charges in email from PayPal account. When you call the customer service, they do not have confirmation number or charges in their system. Next day they already processed my order (without order or confirmation number). You keep on fighting.

This company basically ripped me off. I placed an order and I was told that my total was $39.97- 20% which took off $8.39. Well, I thought okay, good deal and continue with the order to only find out that they charged me for more than what they told me. My total went to $52.54. I was charged Sub-total: $41.96 Standard Delivery: $12.99 Guaranteed Feb. 13 Delivery: $2.99 Care & Handling: $2.99 which was not a part of the original order. The only thing that I was told about upfront was the $2.99 charge. I feel that this company is misleading people and taking money from people then refuse to give a refund.

Two years ago, I made the mistake of ordering two dozen roses from ProFlowers for my wife for Valentine's Day. The price sounded great... $24.95 for the first dozen and $10.00 for the next dozen. So I went through the process expecting to pay about $10 for shipping. This is where you have to be really careful because their system forces you to put your credit card information in before you see the shipping and handling charges. As I recall, the total charges amounted to something very close to $65.00. At that point, I had no choice but to proceed with the order but I immediately sent an email to the Company demanding that the order be cancelled.
Fortunately, I had no problem with this and they were actually very gracious about it. But learned a good lesson from that and that lesson is that you need to check review sites like this one to see what real customers are saying. This year, I thought about ordering some chocolate covered fruit from Sheri's Berries. However, one look at the reviews told me this would not be the best thing to do. So I'm gonna go to the corner grocery store and pick up a dozen Peruvian roses for about $1.50 each with no shipping and handling charges and my wife will be even happier than if I had given her two dozen from ProFlowers.

I purchased an arrangement of 100 Peruvian Lilies for a friend who is going through a divorce to surprise her and cheer her up. After waiting all day anxiously, I called her at work around 4:30 pm and found that she had THANKFULLY called in sick and was not there. There girls advised me that the flowers had just arrived and that they were frozen and in terrible condition. They took them out of the box and put them in the vase with some water, hoping it would revive them, but the damage was done. Some stems were broken and the freeze had destroyed the rest. I called and requested a replacement or refund. Customer service gave me the option of both, apologizing, stating that policy is their flowers are shipped and delivered fresh. I opted to have the arrangement replaced but wanted it delivered Monday.
Today is Friday. The CS Rep I spoke with said that they could only offer shipment on the next standard shipping day, which was Tuesday. I told her that was unacceptable, and while I understood that she had certain limitations to her job, I wanted to talk to a Supervisor at that point. The Supervisor apologized for the condition of the arrangement, overrode the system to deliver Monday, but then.... wait.... I paid with Paypal. What does that mean? I means that I have to wait for a phone call within 24-48 hours to confirm my information and HOPE that I can still have the arrangement delivered on Monday. Total BS, not happy.

My order, as was confirmed on my receipt, was *guaranteed* to arrive by 1:00PM today. It is now 4:30, and it just arrived. Also, when I called to check on it a little after 4pm (because it had *not* arrived), I was told that it had been delivered at 4:00. While I was on the phone with my mom telling them that the florist was supposed to be calling me, the flowers arrived - again, at 4:30. Three problems with this:
2) The flowers were supposed to be there by 1pm, something guaranteed by the service charge I paid. "Early charge: 4.99, Weekend charge: 4.99, Next-Day charge, 4.97."
3) I paid for the "deluxe," and based on the picture my family sent (attached), I got the standard.
I called Florist Express back & was told they would refund the upgrade to Deluxe plus the guaranteed early arrival fee. They would not give me a confirmation number for the refund process, though I was told that "Earl," the "supervisor," would email me a confirmation. Given that my order was not only incorrectly fulfilled but also that we were lied to about the delivery, this - while a start - is unacceptable. When I asked how they were going to make it right, they offered me 20% off of MY NEXT ORDER and free standard shipping. AS IF I was going to spend more money there.

I ordered flowers from Proflowers.com to be delivered to my Mother-in-law as she recovered in the hospital from surgery. Unfortunately, they were delivered by FEDEX 1 hour after she discharged to a nursing home 60 miles away from the hospital. I emailed Proflowers' customer service not complaining, but asking if there was some way FEDEX could pick them up and deliver them to the new location. I was willing to pay an extra delivery charge. Not only did they get back to me within the hour, but they sent a complete new order, and gave me a gift certificate to use toward a future flower purchase within the next year. Because the bouquet I had chosen was a special and no longer available, they upgraded my order to a much nicer bouquet, and threw in a premium vase at no charge to me. WOW!

My sister received some bad news about her health and I wanted to brighten her day by sending flowers to her work. I picked an arrangement named Smiles and Sunshine. They were delivered on time. My sister called me later that evening very upset and crying asking me if I was being cruel to her on purpose. She stated that the flowers were dead, discolored and really awful. She also stated that people walked by her desk just to see the awful flowers and laugh. I apologized as much as I could and ended the conversation in tears myself.
I needed the wrong righted, so I called ProFlowers and spoke with the nicest lady and explained my situation to her and asked if there was anything that could be done to correct this. She apologized and explained to me that this was very unusual for them and she would have another arrangement sent out to my sister again. I thanked her. She apologized again and we ended the call.
Two days later My Sissy called me and I could hear the happiness in her voice as she thanked me for the most beautiful flowers ever. She said the bouquet was much fuller. The flowers were so alive and vibrant. The vase was upgraded to a red one and chocolates were in the shipment also. It meant the world to me that they went to so many measures to correct the previous order. I am very grateful to ProFlowers and will always tell my family and friends to use them.

I ordered a get well plant for delivery. Not only was I charged a fee for a service I didn't ask for, but when I called to have the charges reversed the customer service agent tried to convince me it was my own doing. This company is despicable and I will not use it again. They are taking advantage of people and assuming they are stupid and lazy.
After I finished the process of putting in my billing info, I noticed that a $4.99 rush delivery charge was tacked on to my total - not initiated by me. It gave me a "delivered on or before" date two days hence by 8 p.m. on the 15th, so I figured I'd let it slide since they were get well flowers and should arrive in that time period. However, the flowers were shipped from Memphis the day it was supposed to be delivered (to Los Angeles), and confirmation from FedEx confirmed the item was not delivered until 15 hours after the due-by rush delivery time.
When I called for a refund, the rep, in a pleasant manner, told me, "Oh, it shows they were delivered on the 15th" as if I were an idiot. Both ProFowers and I had confirmation from FedEx that showed it was total BS. Realizing there was no choice, she began the refund process, but not before saying "You know, the site has a quirk where there's a plus sign you have to hit..." and more BS, none of which would explain why selecting "standard shipping" would tack on an additional rush delivery fee. Blaming the customer for your practice? That's beyond low.

Where to start?!? Issue 1: I ordered flowers for my Aunt the week before Christmas to congratulate her on the new job and house. Of course my aunt posted a pic and thanked me for them but I could not believe how HORRIBLE the arrangement was! It was suppose to be this full beautiful assortment of red and white roses BUT instead it was a couple of red roses (half closed or dying) and a handful of baby’s breath. I emailed ProFlowers and sent along the picture. They responded quickly and offered a new arrangement to whomever.
Issue 2: I took them up on this free order and sent flowers to another Aunt as a Christmas gift. She called me the day before Christmas thanking me and saying how much she loved them. I was super excited and couldn't wait to see them the next day. YET AGAIN, HORRIBLE! They were suppose to be roses on top of roses. NOPE! Carnations (5) with baby’s breath. I email ProFlowers AGAIN on my way home saying that I could not believe they could mess up two times in a span of a week and that I would never use them again because they obviously employed florist who did not take pride in their art. Received an email back that they would refund my money from the first screw up and send another arrangement for free, but the kicker was that they do not have outside florist but make them in house! How do you send out arrangements KNOWING they look nothing like the picture?
Issue 3: I should have STOPPED at two but third time’s a charm, right? NO! I had them send flowers to my friend who just had surgery to find out the weather had stopped shipment, which I understand you can't control the weather. By Sunday I realized it still had not been delivered and contacted ProFlowers and was told they would have to cancel this order because the flowers would not be fresh. If I had not contacted them would they have done this?!?
Issue 4: Emailed them back and said to send the same arrangement to the same person. Got an email this morning (Monday) that the shipment was going to my Aunt from the previous screw up and not my friend. I called them and because it’s my husband’s name on the account they cannot talk to me! Are you kidding me?!? Its flowers not a credit card!!!

I agree with every awful review. DO NOT order from this company- EVER!!!! They deserve zero stars, I wish that were an option. I've been dealing with this mockery of a business daily since they failed to deliver a bouquet to my sister on her 30th birthday. I'm disgusted, disappointed and frankly appalled by Proflowers and shocked they can stay in business running a company as they do. Here's the story:
I ordered flowers to be delivered December 13th for my sister's 30th birthday party. I received an email confirmation that they were delivered. I called my sister next day to see how the party went and asked if the pink flowers and vase matched her theme. She said "what flowers?" - no flowers had been delivered despite the confirmation I received.
I called Proflowers immediately and after holding for a very long time the agent said the florist couldn't deliver because they could not reach my sister. Interesting since she received NO phone calls from them and was home all day. They promised the flowers would be delivered that day and I would be refunded the delivery fee. Fine. That night I checked with my sister- no flowers. I called Proflowers the next day. Now the excuse was that the florist didn't have the right vase, so they just didn't deliver. Now I'm really furious. I ask for a discount and get 50% off. I'm also promised she'll get an "extra big" bouquet to compensate. Fine.
Next day comes and goes and no flowers are delivered. I'm fuming and incredulous. My husband's convinced at this point that they must be going out of business. I call for the 3rd time - I ask for a manager. The manager assures me the flowers will be delivered next day (now 3 days late). I go on a rampage about the poor service and how I'm going to tell everyone I know to never use this company. They give me a 100% refund for the inconvenience and disappointing my sister. They'll send an extra large bouquet an extra mylar balloon (I ordered 1) and several latex balloons plus also promised to send a note to my sister from the company explaining why she didn't receive the flowers for her birthday. Fine.
Today is December 28th. My sister has not yet received a bouquet, balloons or a note. The flowers are 15 days overdue. I talked to Proflowers again today and they tell me they can't find a florist who will except the order. Really. She lives 10 minutes from the capital of Wisconsin and they can't find a single florist to deliver?!?! Pathetic. I have no confidence that she will ever receive an arrangement. Takeaway: Do not order from Proflowers ever under any circumstance. Use 1-800-flowers. They never disappoint. Or do the extra legwork and order from a local florist . But never, never, never use Proflowers.

It appears that the flowers that were delivered to us did not have a filled out card. There was one in the box but it was completely blank. We are unsure who sent them. We called their customer service number and asked if there was supposed to be a card with the flowers. The customer service rep said they could not tell me. I thought I should clarify my question and understanding of the situation. So I asked the customer service rep: "You cannot even tell me if there was supposed to be a card or not?" She said, "I cannot tell you that." She did say that she would fill out a form and someone else will contact us. I then asked, "When will we receive a call back ..." She said, "I cannot tell you that." I asked if it would be an hour, a day, a week, month... She only said "I cannot tell you". I informed her that if the sender expected to have a card attached, don't you think they will be upset that you cannot tell anyone anything? Her response was... "I can not tell you". I can certainly understand if someone wants to send flowers anonymously; however if that had been the case that is all Proflowers would have to say. Instead it appears they are just trying to hide their incompetence.

No doubt these are company employees filing false reviews. Do yourself a favor and avoid the headache. Purchase from a local florist. Even if they send out the order to another florist, I have never been disappointed by the results. And in the end, the cost is no greater than what the rip-off artists at ProFlowers charge.

I've worked in flower shops. You are to condition flowers, especially roses in a certain preparation to ensure they maintain quality for a long time.

My spousal unit thought he was doing a good thing by having flowers delivered, but the roses' heads went south in three days; the "filler" ruscus, was so scant maybe 1 stem or 1 1/2. Hell, you might as well get the roses and filler at the local Wally World or grocery store. Most women my age have 200+ vases at this point. Anyway, add a touch of bleach to the H2O (couple of drops) to keep bacteria at bay; cut stems, change water every couple of days. Save money and delivery.

I am highly dissatisfied with my recent purchases from ProFlowers. On May 7, I purchased an arrangement for my mother to be delivered in time for Mother's Day. I received confirmation from ProFlowers on May 10 that this order had been picked up by UPS and was scheduled for delivery, only to receive an email the next day (when my mother's flowers should have arrived) that the flowers would not be delivered "due to an inventory issue." I was compensated with a $75 gift card... but this does not change the fact that my mother did not receive her flowers on Mother's Day.
I was willing to give ProFlowers another chance because I figured this was just a fluke... but the flowers that were delivered to my mother today looked nothing like they did in the photo. I cannot express how disappointed I am in this experience. There are only 4 roses and 8 alstroemeria blooms at best, while the description claims there should be 5 roses and 3 alstroemeria with multiple blooms per stem. Furthermore, nothing said these flowers would come in bud form - and I deliberately ordered an arrangement that would come already bloomed so that my mom would have a full and beautiful bouquet from the day they were delivered - so I am confused as to how this is acceptable to this company.
I say again, the bouquet my mother received looked absolutely nothing like it did in the photo I based my decision off of. Frankly, I could have found a better looking arrangement at my local grocery store, purchased a vase, and driven to deliver them to her myself for less than half the money spent on this "perfect gift for someone who deserves all the frills." I will not be ordering flowers from ProFlowers in the future.

I have read ProFlowers' other Facebook posts to customers and don't give me that dog and pony BS about, "Sorry if we were not clear." ProFlowers is engaged in what is called unfair business practices. You want to know why? Nowhere in your radio ads or television ads do you state verbally or written on the screen "additional charges may apply" or "shipping and handling charges may apply".
To the average layman, if you state that a bouquet of roses costs $19.99, no average customer in their right mind would assume additional charges would cost more than the product itself. That is deliberately being deceitful. There is a $12.99 shipping charge, additional $4.99 shipping charge, and lastly a $2.99 handling charge. These three charges that were never disclosed until the entering of payment totals to $20.97 cost more than the roses themselves.
That is at the very least unfair and deceitful practices and I cannot believe the FCC or anyone would allow your national ads and such a scam. They are lucky I am studying for finals because I would love to know what state and federal lines they crossed to persuade people to come to their website to be tricked. There is nothing to be sorry about when their actions are deliberate. You don't kick someone in the face and then say, "Sorry, I didn't mean to be violent; I meant to warn you first."
They're a business; they're not ignorant and they knew exactly what they were doing. I already expressed to them not to continue to insult me or these other honest hardworking people's intelligence. If you go to the ProFlowers' Facebook page, it is flooded with 99% angry and unhappy customers. I do not know how they will stay in business for long!

I heard an ad on the radio: $20 100 bloom lilies for Mother’s Day. My complaint isn't even about how MISLEADING the ad was, although I did end up paying 60 dollars as opposed to $20. Ok, whatever, it’s Mother’s Day. I’ll do it for mom (because the picture I ordered from was GORGEOUS). Then I ended up telling her I ordered flowers to make sure she was home. I told her I ordered 100 lilies for her and it’s going to be so pretty blah blah blah. Then the flowers came. (My mom and I are very close) so she calls me and is beyond confused. As she is laughing, she says there are 24 stems of cheap lilies that are wilted and are probably going to die by tomorrow. I was furious. When I saw the flowers, they were ridiculous. NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE. It smells like nothing and looked like I hated my mom. I called and got a refund without even having to explain myself or anything. I just called and said, "Hi, I need my money back." In 2 seconds, no questions asked, I got my refund.
Now I know that sounds great and all, but to be honest, it was just a HUGE RED FLAG. I work at a bank. My mother is the branch manager of a bank with over 15 years of experience. We thought about it and realized there is a HUGE possibility that this "proflower" is a HUGE SCAM. It seems to me that this is a fronting business and help money launderers put "legal money" in the bank. They do not care if you want your money back. They will give it to you so you don’t escalate the issue. Either way they will be taking a huge "mother’s day" deposit to a bunch of different banks and drop off all their illegal monies. Now I’m not saying this is 100% the case. But what I am saying is that with a combined 20 years of banking experience, we came up with only one reason the company is run the way it is: FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD.
PS. We didn't even bother taking a picture of the hideous flowers, or else I would post one.

I ordered flowers for my grandmother on proflowers.com for delivery on Mother's Day. I paid $137.84 with delivery. I called my mom earlier and asked her if she had talked to her mother and she said she didn't get my normal flowers. I then called the customer support to ask why they didn't deliver them, and she said they were too busy. I asked for a refund and they offered to knock $7.00 off my order. I said absolutely not! It only mattered that they were there on Mother's Day and I just want a refund. When I asked why I did not receive a call or email, she told me that when this happens, they wait for the customer to call in to reschedule the delivery. I talk to my grandmother once every month or two and probably would have never known. She told me she was sending my request for a refund to another department and it takes 4-8 business days to make a decision on a refund. UNREAL!

Ordering application leaves out shipping charges until the very end of the ordering process.They are fragmented and the total add-on is not transparent, with no way to opt out. They seem to play hide and seek with the add-on charges so that you end up paying more than twice what you expected. Shameful practice that preys on the people with their back against the wall who feel powerless to push back. I ordered mother's day special with free candy and a card. The application ordering process racked up a total transparent cost of $29.99 + $2.99 (card) + non-transparent shipping charge of $9.99 for expected total of $42.97. My card was debited for $81.26 - overcharged by $38.29. I demand a refund for the overcharge and an order for ProFlowers to cease their deceptive business practice.

I ordered the 100 Blooms for Mother’s Day for $30. It included chocolates, and I was told it would include a vase in the ad I heard, which I ended up paying $4 for. I ordered the card for $3, and soaps for $10. This brings it to $47. My bill? It’s almost $91. They charged $39 for shipping. It says standard delivery is $17.99 and guaranteed Sunday delivery is $19.99. Why am I being charged twice for shipping? That is ridiculous. The flowers came and looked a bit sad, withered and droopy. They perked up a little in their vase, but not by much. I could have picked flowers and blown a glass vase myself for a cheaper price!
The guy didn't even deliver them by knocking on the door of my mom. He left them in the box on the porch. Is this worthy of a $39 delivery fee? Luckily, my aunt found them, but only when she pulled up to visit and saw them sitting on the porch. Who knows how long they were sitting in the cardboard box in the heat of the morning sun. I ordered because of an ad spot on Michael Brown's radio show out of Denver, CO on KHOW. I will be sending him an email letting him know my dissatisfaction with Proflowers.com.

I ordered the flowers on Thursday, May 9, for delivery on Saturday, May 11. On Sunday, my mother had still not received her flowers, so I called. The automated voice secretary first said they would not be able to confirm deliveries, but then connected me a to a customer service representative. He did not speak very good English, but he found my order and put me on hold to "call the florist". When he returned, he said he could not reach the florist.
I called back on Monday morning and spoke to a young lady who again had difficulty with English. Even though I gave her the order number, and she was able to find it, she kept asking to confirm every little detail - my name, the recipient's name, the day it was ordered, etc. I finally asked her to quit stalling and find out why the flowers weren't delivered. She put me on hold. When she returned, she said that the florist didn't deliver them because they were busy and had a lot of orders.
When I questioned this she said, "Ma'am, it was a holiday!" When I repeatedly asked to speak to a supervisor, she refused. Also of note, I initially ordered flowers for both my mother and my mother-in-law from a different online florist. Several hours later, I received an email that they were sorry, but they wouldn't be able to fulfill the order to my mother. That was when I ordered the flowers from ProFlowers. My mother-in-law received her flowers Saturday afternoon. Apparently, some florists can keep up with what is ordered, and if "they are busy and have a lot of orders" they don't accept one they can't fulfill.
I would never order flowers again from ProFlowers, and if I can find the name of the local florist who just decided not to do their job, I'll be sure not to ever order from them either.

I order the 100 lilies for Mother's Day, which I thought was $19.99. By the time, I was finished with my order. I was paying almost $40 for several charges they had added to the bill for shipping. The shipping charge alone was $12.99 plus additional shipping charges, which would only be rebated by joining another club that charged your card. The flowers came on time but when I opened the box, they looked horrible. The flowers were falling off the stems and the leaves were wilted. I even waited the 8-12 hours and let them soak in their vase so they would perk up, but they didn't. I was upset. I called the company and they were very nice and refunded me my money, which was the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one.

I have used them over several years about five or six times. Never had a problem with the quality or delivery, but I do notice each time the advertisements and especially the coupon code ads are misleading. The codes I enter always seem to be either expired or don’t come up as valid. By the time you pay all the little fees and taxes, it always seems to cost twice what the big advertised price under the picture is. Like today, for example, I just ordered my mother a Mother’s Day arrangement to be delivered tomorrow, same state. It was advertised at $49.99, but after you pick out what you want and get to the checkout page, you find out the vase you see in the picture is fifteen dollars extra! That just makes me mad. I would much rather see 65 bucks as the advertised price.
By the time I checked out, my total with standard shipping was $94.99 - nowhere near the $49.99 that was under the picture on the ad page. Really just more than I wanted to spend. I could have called a local florist in her city and probably gotten the same thing for at the most maybe $65.00. But that would have taken longer and been harder to see what I would be getting, so it’s easier to deal with ProFlowers. I would only respect them a little more if they advertised their prices a little more honestly.

It's a little hard to expedite an order when it's already late. I called their 800 number to complain and was told, "We're so sorry for the inconvenience but we took too many orders and hope to deliver your flowers within a couple of days." I asked to talk with a supervisor, was put on indefinite hold for 25 minutes, and was then transferred to Alice in Los Angeles. Alice assured me that the orders would be delivered today. They weren't ever delivered. When I called again, they said that they were, "So sorry." I agreed that they are so sorry. So sorry in fact that I will never use them again and go out of my way to tell others of my bad experience with their service and lack of concern.

Never order from ProFlowers or their five other businesses! For Valentines Day, I ordered 15 tulips from ProFlowers (from me) and a small giraffe ring holder from Red Envelope, an affiliate business of ProFlowers, (from my kids) for my wife. I was promised delivery on Valentines Day by the end of business. I do not know about you but I think the end of business day is 6:00 PM. Well, not ProFlowers! They consider 8:00 PM the end of business day. We waited all day for the delivery. I wanted to have the flowers on the dining room table for our special Valentines dinner and have my kids give their mother their present after dinner.
Luckily, I got her some jewelry as well because the ProFlower delivery came at 7:54 PM. The beautiful display of 15 tulips they show on the Web site turned out to be 13 drooping dead and frozen buds. When I placed them in the vase, they looked like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree. The buds all hit the counter top because they drooped so much. We had already put our kids to bed (they are 2 and 5 years old) so we had to wake them up to see mom open her gift. The giraffe was as stated on the Web site, but what a disappointment. To wait all day and finally get the gifts at 8:00 PM on Valentines Day ruined a special occasion.
Luckily, I have an understanding wife who was happy with the effort if not the outcome. When I called the customer care line (that's a laugh), the operator tried to blame UPS for the ** up. When I reminded her that ProFlowers contracted UPS and chose that method of delivery (so it is ProFlowers' responsibility), she could do nothing but agree. I got my money back for the flowers and delivery of flowers but no discount was offered for the giraffe. I will never order anything from ProFlowers or their five other businesses: ProPlant, Red Envelope, Cherry Moon Farms, Shari's Berries and Personal Creations.com. I should have read the reviews before I ordered from them. Check out this Web site: **. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of these brands.

What he (and apparently many others) didn't know is that once you choose the "free shipping" option, you are automatically enrolled in this bogus EZServerRewards Program and billed $1.95 for the initial payment and then $4.95 each following month. I discovered the charges and called the number. I got a female operator the first time with no satisfaction. The second time, only recordings that walk you through nonsense. I disputed the charges, cancelled the bogus membership and we shall see what happens with the refund.
I am also upset with ProFlowers for such questionable marketing practices. A lot of time and aggravation trying to reverse the damage done. I am very leery about making purchases online now. This is the third time within a month that I have found these kind of practices that piggyback onto a site. I suspect that there are a lot of people getting billed for services that they neither requested nor are aware that they are paying for. These companies are cleaning up and making a lot of unearned cash! Let the buyer beware!

I did not provide my information at the end of my ProFlowers order and did not accept the 15% offer so, the information was definitely given without my permission.
