    Read the review before giving this company your money. What they advertise is NOT what will be delivered. I spent a lot of money for a "ZEN" arrangement of exotic flowers. What was delivered looked like a CLUSTER MESS of NON-exotic boring everyday flowers thrown together in a most unattractive... NON-ZEN design. I am embarrassed that my Mom thinks I ordered that horrible design. After reading the reviews I now see this seems to be the way this company operates... they show you one thing... then send another. COMPLETE RIP OFF. SHAME on them. Taking money for a product they don't deliver.

    I called Teleflora today to order an arrangement for Mother's Day for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who live together in Greensboro, NC. My husband and I had decided on a budgeted amount. The person I talked to got pertinent information, including the arrangement we'd chosen. She asked, more than once, if I wanted to add something to the order. I said, "No, I just wanted the 'standard arrangement.'" I was then told that the minimum order for that area was $38.95, and asked if I wanted to upgrade the order, which I'd already said no to. I was told that minimum order amounts apply to most places in the US, and they vary according to area. I don't recall seeing this policy stated anywhere on the site. I didn't order. Very disappointed that we couldn't get what we wanted without being forced to pay more for it.

    I thought this site was going to be GREAT but, I was let down when I ordered Flowers for my precious Mother for her Birthday on the 10th and Guess What??? They NEVER got delivered. I ordered those Flowers on Monday and they were not delivered yesterday!!! I am so mad! I called them this morning and all I got was from some idiot that didn't hardly speak any English and said, "I am sorry for this problem but, they will be dropped off today!!" My reply was, "SO, if they do not show up today who do I call?" and all he kept saying was, "Sorry, Mrs. **!!!" If my Mother does not receive those Flowers today, I will get my money back and I will NEVER use this place ever again!!! Worst SERVICE, WORST Everything!!! I will tell everyone what awful service I received!!! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS AT ALL!!! SO, if anyone wants to order Flowers please DO NOT use Teleflora!! It is a waste of time and MONEY!!

    Simple request, deliver African violets to my sister's office same day. Got an email at 5:00 p.m., they couldn't deliver. "OK, when can you deliver..." "First thing next day." I had 12 emails back and forth with them, they couldn't find out what the eta would be (my sister wasn't in the office for the full day), they couldn't tell me the florist so I could call and check, and after the dozen emails they tell me the flower should be delivered by 5:00 pm and suggested I request priority delivery if I needed it earlier! Well dear, if you would have done it right the day before priority wouldn't have been necessary. They did respond to each email (each email had a different person responding) so that was good but probably need to find better local florist. $70 for an African Violet that took 2 days to get there. I can't wait to see what it looks like!

Took me 3 days to argue with them for a refund. 1st person said they would give 60% refund, 2nd one 50% and finally talked to a lady from Corporate who did refund my money and had shop send a plant to my step mother.

    Placed a same day delivery order at 9:15 a.m. with an additional charge for before 1:00 p.m. Ordered Deluxe bouquet. Flowers did not arrive until 3:20 p.m. and the bouquet was the Smallest version available and the flowers were NOTHING like I ordered. Customer service took 20 minutes to answer and the best they could do was offer me a 20% disc. Personally I felt they should have refunded me the entire order. They could have cared less that this special moment was completely ruined and a whole 20% disc. was going to make it better. No! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN. I just wish I would have read the reviews prior to ordering. What went from a celebration ended in total embarrassment and COMPLETE disappointment.

    This is the worst possible flower delivery company, hands down. I ordered flowers for mother's day with delivery to my mom and wife. I got confirmation that the order had been processed. Then I received an email some time later saying that part of the order could not be processed. I called the number given and was put on hold for 20 minutes. When someone came to line, they could not speak English. I could not understand what they were saying and I had to repeat my inquiry multiple times. The customer rep could not understand that there was one order and could not explain to me why the order had been separated.

    I asked that my order be canceled and she refused to do it, saying that she could fix it. I asked her to cancel it again and she said she could fix it. I asked for a supervisor. She put me on hold for 15 minutes and never came back and then hung up the line. No call back. What shame and sham. I wrote to customer service and asked that the order be canceled. No response. So went on live chat and asked for order to be canceled. Run, don't walk, away from this horrible company.

    My Mum's 75th birthday was the other day. Her friend ordered flowers from Teleflora to be delivered during the day. He ordered a beautiful arrangement of white daisies and pink roses with a lovely card. What actually arrived was a bedraggled, half dead, scruffy looking bunch of yellow daisies with a HOMEMADE card attached. She called them to complain and was told, "No refund, tough luck!!!!" She was sobbing on the phone to me and I am furious. Way to ruin an elderly lady's birthday you jackasses!! Never, ever use this service or you will get to listen to your mum crying on her birthday.

    I ordered a birthday bouquet. Let me first say that I live in TN and the flower arrangement was going to Maui. It was my sister's birthday. I placed the order well in advance and was given a confirmation number and my debit card was charged. On her birthday at 2:30pm her time and 7:30pm my time, I received an email from Teleflora telling me that my delivery could not be made on my requested date and that I should pick a new one. I was told that my arrangement would be delivered the day AFTER my sister's birthday and that they could offer me 50% off my next purchase with them (like I would ever use them again). I said no and was told I could be given a 30% refund price.

    It took a while and several phone calls before I got them to give me a full refund. I thought they had a good reputation but I was very wrong! If you are even a little worried about getting your arrangement there on time - don't use Teleflora. They have no remorse. I was even told "coming the day after her birthday will REALLY surprise her".

    I ordered flowers for a friend of mine after we got into a tiff and I wanted to apologize. I told Teleflora she worked for a big company that had a few buildings so they needed to make sure they located the correct building. They didn't locate her or the correct building but left it at the customer service desk! AFTER 5PM when all the employees were gone! She didn't receive the flowers and when I told them who drops off flowers after business hours they said they would refund me the flowers' costs price and it would be 10 business days for it to clear. I NEVER received my refund and when I told them that they told me "I don't know what to tell you. Your refund was processed???"

    I placed two simultaneous orders to be delivered to the same address, with different messages. The daughter received hers. The mother did not. People send flowers usually for emotional reasons, and this was a very emotional situation. When I called they said the florist was closed for the day, and therefore it would be sent tomorrow. They offered me a 50% discount on my next order. I said, "never mind", because I will never use Teleflora again.

    I ordered (3) different arrangements for Administrative Asst. Day. Teleflora placed the order with (3) different florists, even though I placed everything on one order! The 1st arrangement arrived timely from a local florist. The 2nd arrangement arrived in the afternoon, after the person to receive it already left for the day. The 3rd arrangement finally arrived at 4pm, and it was for the most senior person on staff!! When I looked at the business card, I saw that the florist delivering the last flowers was from a town 45 minutes away! I spent 1/2 hour on the phone throughout the afternoon trying to find out why the arrangements were not ordered at the same time, and did not get an acceptable answer. The only option I was given was to cancel the orders, but then I'd have to run out to buy something else, which I could not do. On top of the late flower delivery, the flowers were already wilting! I will not be ordering from Teleflora again.

    Like most of the reviewers here I had a horrible experience. The flowers I ordered for my wife showed up late, and that was after I called 3 times to figure why they didn't get there by 1 pm. Secondly when they arrived the flowers were completely different from what I ordered. I will never recommend this company, nor will I use them again after this experience.

    If I could rate this company a zero or a negative I would. One star is being generous. Ordered flowers yesterday for a patient in the hospital. This was for same-day delivery. Got confirmation that they were delivered. Family members stated no flowers were there. Contacted the company. They were going to check into it. Received 8 AM phone call the next day stating the flowers were on the truck for delivery. By 8 o'clock that evening still no delivery. They seem to have no compassion or were unable to give me a reason of why the flowers still were not delivered.

    I canceled my order and asked for a refund. That is a whole different department that does the refunds. They stated that I will get the full amount back so we will see. They contracted this order out to a local florist that is near the hospital so they stated. When I asked for the name of the company so I would not be using them when I re-order these flowers they stated they could not disclose that information. I then proceeded to tell them that I would not use their company again either. And I would be leaving my review with all the review sites.

    I purchased a flower arrangement Friday 4/21 for my 30th anniversary on 4//23. The flowers were to be delivered to my wife Saturday 4/22. As of 6:00 the flowers hadn't arrived so I was getting worried and decided to call. I was told that they couldn't locate a shop that could fulfil the order. I received absolutely NO notice that they wouldn't be able to deliver my flowers. So I'm writing this on my anniversary with no flowers. In the interest of full disclosure, after raising hell with the representative on the phone they agreed to refund my money and deliver the flowers on Monday.

    I put worthless in the subject line because even though they are providing flowers tomorrow and a refund the impact of the flowers was completely lost! I don't really care about the money. The damage was done. I live in Metro Austin and find the excuse that they couldn't locate a florist difficult to believe, also, if they had notified me that they couldn't deliver, I would have located an alternative. I WILL NEVER USE TELEFLORA AGAIN.

    On April 17th, 2017 I purchased a bouquet of flowers from telelflora.com to be delivered to my mother-in-law the next day. I ordered the How-Sweet-It-Is bouquet. This bouquet is pictured on the website as a full bouquet with fourteen visible orange/yellow roses of different sizes, ten pink daisies, twelve red carnations, and is filled in between with what appears to be small green flowers (I have attached a photo). I selected the Premium Bouquet for the price of $54.95. The Premium Bouquet size is described as being 14 inches wide and 14 inches tall. I was charged a service fee of $30.99 and paid for priority processing to ensure delivery before 1 pm which was $15. I was given a discount of $10, my total order is $75.94.

    On April 18th I received a photo from my mother-in-law of the flowers that had been delivered at 1 pm. I noticed immediately that the bouquet was not the one that I had ordered and was much smaller, and appeared to be a cheaper arrangement (I have attached three photos). This bouquet was mostly made of fern leaves on the outer edges, contained two pink carnations, two small pink roses, three red roses, and six small tiger lilies. This bouquet measured 11 inches high and 7 inches wide. I was working a 16-hour shift that day so I was unable to contact the company about the delivery until the next day April 19th.

    At 9:13 am I sent this message through their website to Customer Service, "I ordered the 'How Sweet It Is - Premium' bouquet, what was delivered looks nothing like the picture on the website which shows a full bouquet with orange and yellow roses, and other flowers. What was sent had four red roses, some small orange flowers, and was very small and cheap-looking."

    At 10:20 am they emailed me back, "Hello Kathryn. Thank you for contacting Teleflora. I'm so sorry that you were disappointed in the arrangement that was delivered to the ** family. Teleflora's goal is to provide excellent service and we apologize that we fell short on this order. Please accept 40% discount on a future purchase. You will receive a separate email with the promotion code. We value you as a customer and we hope that you will give us another opportunity to give you the experience you deserve. Again, please accept our sincere apology. Best regards. Skyler **, Teleflora."

    At 10:28 am I sent them this message and attached the picture I had received from my mother-in-law of the bouquet she received and one of from their website of the How-Sweet-It-Is bouquet. Here is what I wrote, "I do not want a discount, I would like to have the correct bouquet delivered or my money refunded. I have attached pictures. One is of the bouquet from the website. The other is what was delivered. I really would prefer to have the correct bouquet delivered but if you cannot do that I would accept a full refund of my money. Thank you. Kathryn **."

    They responded back by email at 10:34 am with "Hello Kathryn. Thank you for contacting Teleflora. I'm so sorry that you were disappointed in the arrangement that was delivered to the ** family. Our goal is to provide excellent service and we apologize that we fell short on this order. A 25% refund has been issued on your order. Please allow 2-10 business days to process and the refund should appear on your next billing statement. Again, please accept our sincere apology. Best regards. Vee **, Teleflora / Sears Flowers by Teleflora / Flowers by Sears." I responded at 11:40 am by emailing "A 25% refund is inadequate, you did not provide what I paid for. I am asking for you to either provide the bouquet I paid for or to give me a full refund. If you cannot do either of these things I will contact my credit card and dispute the charge. Thank you. Kathryn **.

    At 12:06 pm they responded, "Hello Kathryn, Thank you for contacting Teleflora. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us. This email is to confirm that we have received your request for redelivery of your floral order. We have requested the information from our delivering florist and you will receive confirmation by email once the florist reports back to us. It has been a pleasure to assist you. Best regards. Res.**, Teleflora." This was our last correspondence on April 19th, as I stated in my emails, I would have been satisfied with my purchase and would have gladly paid the $75.94 if the correct bouquet, or even one of similar value would have been delivered.

    On April 20th I was working another 16-hour shift, I am a nurse, and at 9:38 am I received a voicemail from the number ** which stated, "Hi Kathryn, my name is Aaron with Teleflora. I'm calling in regards to the order that you were sending out for on the 18th and you had a few, you know, complaints about the order, and we've been trying to do the best that we can to make sure that you are righted for the wrong that was ordered. Um, I called the shop and they will do a $10 credit, um but they, they think that the arrangement was fine. You can give me a call back about what you would like to do as far as canceling your order or receiving the $10 credit and having a pickup redelivery or pickup cancel. It's all up to you. Um just give us a call back at 1-800-822-9547. Your order number **. Thank you, hope have a wonderful day. Please get in contact with us as soon as possible."

    Because I was working a 16-hour shift I did not have time that day to call back, so I sent an email explaining this at 12:15 pm stating, "I just received a voicemail from a representative of your company, I am working all day and am unable to return the call until tomorrow. Since he indicated that the florist would not be able to send what I ordered I would like a full refund for my purchase. Thank you."

    At 12:47 pm they responded, "Hello Kathryn. Thank you for contacting Teleflora. I'm so sorry that you were disappointed in the arrangement that was delivered to the ** family. Our goal is to provide excellent service and we apologize that we fell short on this order. A 50% refund has been issued on your order. Please allow 2-10 business days to process and the refund should appear on your next billing statement. Again, please accept our sincere apology. Best regards. Vee **, Teleflora."

    Because I was at work I was not able to respond again until my next break which was at 6:01 pm, "A 50% refund is insufficient, you did not provide what I ordered and when asked to provide what I ordered you stated you cannot. I need a full refund for my purchase since you did not provide the service I paid for, which was a premium-sized bouquet for the "How Sweet It Is" arrangement, which is described to be 14 1/2 inches tall and 14 inches wide. I have attached more pictures of the bouquet that was sent, it has different flowers and is a small, cheap arrangement. I have given you multiple opportunities to correct this, if you do not give me a full refund I will dispute the charge on my credit card. I was really hoping to resolve this with the company and had tried multiple times to either be refunded or to get the bouquet that I paid for."

    On April 21st, 2017 at 2:15 am I received this email, "Hello Kathryn. Thank you for contacting Teleflora. Unfortunately, to receive a full refund, your order must be picked up by the local florist and a cancellation issued within 48 hours of original delivery. Please reply with how you wish to proceed. For further questions or comments please reply to this email or refer to our website. It has been a pleasure to assist you. Best regards. William **, Teleflora." This is the only time that I was told by the company that in order to receive a refund that the cancellation and a pickup would have to be done within 48 hours of the delivery. This is despite the fact that since April 19th I had asked them multiple times for a full refund. Since they waited to tell me this until after the 48 hours passed they are refusing to refund me for the $75.94, despite the fact that they never provided the bouquet I purchased.

When I learned the flowers hadn't been delivered the next day, I was confused, but thought I'd give it one more day. Two days after the delivery was supposed to happen, I checked my bank account to find that my money had been refunded. I was not notified by anyone that my order had been canceled.

    I am completely disgusted with the service from Teleflora. I ordered a flower arrangement in the shape of a "birthday cake" to be delivered to my daughter who is away at college. I placed the order OVER a week BEFORE it was to be delivered! A WEEK BEFORE! I was informed via email the morning the arrangement was to be delivered that they were unable to fulfill the order and was asked to pick a replacement arrangement. I picked a replacement arrangement and then was told that they would be unable to deliver that order the day I asked for it to be delivered! Which, remember I placed the order over a week ago.

    What a disgrace and horrible customer service! I WILL NEVER USE THIS SERVICE AGAIN! I will never, ever recommend this service to family, friends or complete strangers. I am disgusted that Teleflora thinks this is okay! I then called customer service to have the order cancelled and a credit charged back to my credit card... I was told that they couldn't even get into my account and that someone would have to call me back with a cancellation number. I refused to let the representative hang up and asked to speak to a floor manager. I told her I want the cancellation number now while I was on the phone, she proceeded to tell me to check my email and I told her I want the number over the phone from her. I did not trust that they would cancel the order. She finally gave me the cancellation number and said the credit will appear on my credit card. We will see.

    I ordered a money plant for a sick friend with a beautiful marble container with decorative stones (as per the picture). I ordered balloons with it and paid a hefty price (over $60). Didn't matter it was for a sick friend. I chose this plant so it would be in the house and easy to care for. When my friend came back to work he sent us a picture of what he got and I almost blew it! It was a plastic cheap pot with a Gardenia in it!!! This is probably a $2 plant that cannot grow in a pot nor in the house - I was furious!!! When I called Teleflora I waited endlessly with "MAX" an automated voice service that kept coming back and telling me that I had another 1 to 2 minutes before my call would be answered. Then after another minute of music "MAX" came back on to tell me that I now had another 4 to 5 minutes to wait. This went on with various amounts of time I had to wait.

    Eventually I got the phone answered and got hung up on!!! Infuriating!!! I called back and went through the ENTIRE process again and spoke to a woman named "Jeremiah". I wanted either another plant sent or a full refund which I got none of. They said it was the local florist that messed up and they would only be able to give me $50 and no other plant. I fought hard but was unable to get anymore more. This is unacceptable. I paid by paypal and might just call to have the rest of it removed by my paypal grievance process.

    Teleflora is very expensive and depending on what flower shop your order is coming from, the flowers are usually old and don't last long and there is no solution provided to help keep them fresh. Also what you order you may not get on the other end. If a Florist is going to deal with Teleflora they should be able to provide what is offered by Teleflora through their catalog.

    I ordered the Pretty in Peony arrangement for a friend. The next morning I got a call saying that the florist did not have peonies but they could replace the peonies with another flower, stay with the same color scheme and everything else. I was upset because I knew peonies were her favorite flower but there was nothing I could do, unless I wanted to cancel the order. After calling back, I asked if I could know which flowers would be in the arrangement and because I paid $70 for the arrangement with the peonies I wanted to make sure I was getting an arrangement worth what I already paid. I was told there was no way to know which flowers would be in the arrangement and I wouldn't know anything until it was actually delivered but that the vase would be filled "to value" and that it would look similar to what I ordered. That was a lie.

    My friend loved the flowers, and I am very happy for that. However they were nothing like what I ordered and paid $70 for. The arrangement looked more like a $30 arrangement. I called immediately and was told I never specified what flowers I wanted, when I was told the day before I did not have that option! After expressing how unhappy and disappointed I was with how the situation was handled and the flowers that were sent for the money I spent, I was able to get a 50% refund. I still feel that this is not enough considering what I ordered and what was delivered. I will never use Teleflora again.

The local florist then contacted me and told me that they would need to pick up the flowers so that they could resell them to someone else if I was to get any kind of refund.

    So, to make a long story short, the local florist came to my girlfriend's place of work and Repo'd her flowers!!! The person said that they were indeed going to resell the flowers to someone else because "they hadn't made any money on them". This is a joke!!! The first time I have ever heard of having your flowers Repo'd!!! Stay away from this company at all costs. Unless you want someone to show up at your work to Repo your flowers so they can sell them to someone else! Below is a picture of what I ordered, and the second on of what I received!!!

    I ordered flowers to be delivered to a business on February 14, 2017 to my fiance. The company that Teleflora recommended was right in the vicinity of the business district of New Orleans. Well no flowers got delivered. This was Already a bad day because this was a first VDay away from one another and now Teleflora made me look like I didn't even care about VDay but offered 3 days later to resend my order. For what?

    Yesterday, Friday, I ordered over the phone a money tree plant to be delivered to family moving to Texas. They assured me it would be delivered by 5 pm yesterday. Two hours later I received an email stating delivery date needed to be changed so I chose this morning, Saturday which appeared to be fine. Around noon today I happened to check emails and saw an email from Teleflora stating the plant I originally ordered was not available and unless they heard from me in a few hours (this was sent at 8:30 a.m.) they would "choose a lovely floral arrangement to be delivered instead". I have spent the last 30 minutes on the phone with the agent and finally supervisor stating I did not authorize FLOWERS (which die) to be delivered.

    It was a housewarming gift - a plant that would LIVE. "I'm sorry" is what I got and then excuses. I demanded my card be refunded which they did. I should have researched this further before using this company. Highly disappointed I couldn't have a plant waiting to welcome my family on their arrival because this company doesn't seem to have their heads on straight. NEVER again. Run the other way if you are considering using Teleflora. There are other "parades in town".

    The flowers were for my Grandmother on her 90th birthday. They were unable to give her the flowers as I ordered them. They called me to ask if I wanted to substitute a flower or be refunded. I told them she loves daisies. They added a lot of daisies, upped the size of the arrangement, included a free vase, added balloons & a sampler of chocolates. All for no added cost. I was so impressed. They really were wonderful.

    If I could give zero stars, I would! I ordered Teleflora flowers to be delivered to a friend who just had major surgery. I selected a lovely bouquet from their website, however the flowers that were delivered were nothing like the website showed. The attached photo says it all. I emailed a complaint (with comparison photo) via the Teleflora website, and received an email offering me a refund of $11.99 (Uh, what?) to which I responded saying that was unacceptable. Not sure where they come up with that amount, since the 'service fee' alone is $15.99. I then received a call back from a customer service rep who informed me that he felt the bouquet received adequately represented the ones I ordered. Again, see photo.

    He then proceeded to tell me that if I wanted more than the $11.99 refund that was offered, the florist would have to go back to her house and pick up the unsatisfactory bouquet. Again... WHAT? She's 1 day post-MAJOR surgery and would have to GIVE BACK the flowers? Round and round we went, with the CS Rep telling me he thought they looked fine. Absolutely shameful. I'll let you judge for yourself... End result is that I spent over $80 for flowers that I wouldn't have spend ten bucks for. The grocery store florist does a better job for a fraction of the price. I wish I'd read these complaints before I ordered from Teleflora. NEVER AGAIN.

    Embarrassed I start looking around to see if there was another arrangement somewhere else in the house. Needless to say the flowers were never delivered, I received an email saying that my order could not be processed with no explanation as to why, when I called the 1800 number I got a message saying "do to the high call volume, hold time will exceed 5 minutes" right there I knew everything I needed to know about this company. I felt so embarrassed with my mom, if they are going to cancel an order they need to let their customer right away not wait 6 hours later. Moral of the story don't use this flower company.

    I read many negative reviews about Teleflora, but thought they have been in this game for many years, so maybe my experience will not be bad. I ordered a fruit and nut basket for my grandma's birthday today, but it's now 4:26 pm and nothing has been delivered. I called the Teleflora customer service number and was told the floral shop assigned to do the delivery has closed for the day. What??? I was then asked to give them until 7 pm tonight for delivery.

    I reminded the customer service agent that he told me the shop is closed, so how are they going to deliver anything today. He explained away about giving them the time to see if the order will still be delivered today. He went on to tell me if the order is not delivered today then they can reschedule the delivery for another day. I then went on to tell him the SAME DAY DELIVERY was for my grandma's birthday which is today, so it defeats the purpose to send it on another day. We concluded the call with the agent telling me if the delivery is not made today that he will submit my request for a refund. So I have now joined the many people who have filed complaints about not receiving items that were supposed to be delivered same day. This company is unreliable and I will never again order from them unless there is a major improvement.

    Please do not use Teleflora when ordering flowers that are important to you. (And frankly, when are they not?) My husband ordered flowers to be delivered to my office on Valentine's Day. He was so disappointed when after talking to me when I got home and me not saying anything about it that he finally asked if I got my flowers, which I had not. The next day I got a phone call from some florist delivery that was trying to deliver my flowers to the wrong number and street. I told them they had the wrong address and that they were supposed to arrive on Valentine's Day.

    My husband called to get a refund and they first told him that they had tried to deliver them 3 times and I had refused them -- not true. Then they just told him I refused them once and their policy says if they are refused at all they do not have to refund the purchase. Wrong day, wrong address -- Teleflora with the win for $70 without having to provide a service. I have used ProFlowers in the past and never had any issues. Use them to avoid this kind of disappointment and false advertising that allows them to receive payment without services rendered.

    Ordered flowers to be delivered on Valentine's Day at work. Flowers were never delivered. Sent several emails with no reply. Finally took the time to call. CS Rep was good and said they would investigate. Apparently, it is their policy that they require a signature and they would give me the name of the person who signed for it. Nearly a week went by. Then I received two voicemails with different explanations. First said flowers were delivered and left at the door. Let's be clear: the location is a major road in Brooklyn NY. What idiot would leave flowers on the sidewalk in front of a business on Valentine's Day? Also, this would be exactly in contradiction to the "someone must sign" policy.

    Before I could call back, I received another voicemail saying the flowers were delivered and signed for by "Mike." This a fully owned and operated Chinese business and there is no "Mike" (or anything close to it) there. Finally after 3 phone calls I asked for a supervisor who relatively quickly processed my refund and personally called the recipient to apologize. So they eventually handled my request, but totally not worth it. I only used this company because they had something closer to what I wanted than 1-800-FLOWERS. I've sent many flowers through 1-800 and have a 100% on time delivery record with me. USE THEM INSTEAD.

    I ordered flowers for my daughters for Valentine's Day, they were to be delivered to the workplace and high school. Neither of my daughters received their flowers on Valentine's Day, though my son got his gift. This leaves my girls thinking I didn't get them anything. I did, however, receive a delivery confirmation that both flowers were hand-delivered on Feb. 14. On Feb. 15, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Teleflora during which time my oldest daughter's flowers were delivered to her workplace around 4:15 (I had been on the phone for at least an hour at this point). They were ridiculous looking small flowers in a 12" square vase. Nothing like what I ordered.

    When I finally speak to the CSR, she claims the other flowers were delivered to the high school at 3:40. My daughter didn't get them. Those flowers showed up on the 16th. They were worse than the first flowers. Some were even wilted and drooping. I finally got to speak with a supervisor, and he said they strive for 100% customer satisfaction, and offered me a 70% refund for my purchase. I checked my account, and I was only given the refund for 1 order of the flowers. This is not the first time Teleflora hasn't delivered. In May 2016, they didn't deliver the Mother's Day flowers I ordered for my mom in another state. I will NEVER do business with them again, and I strongly discourage anyone else from doing business with them. 3 orders and 3 screw-ups is unacceptable.

The following day that it was **supposed** to have been delivered, I started calling Teleflora to see if it was. What a joke. That first call, I was on hold for 30 minutes and eventually gave up. I called again the following day. Same thing. 30 minutes on hold and hung up. I e-mailed them asking for a confirmation and if my friend signed for it. I get an e-mail that simply said "Your order was delivered." Nothing about my friend.

    I get a text from my friend about 2 days later about something non-related. She never mentioned the basket. So I asked her and she never received it! She went downstairs to ask the front desk. They said they never got an order for her. I called Teleflora again and this time I was given the option for them to call me back. Which they eventually did. I don't know where they are located and what nationality that CSR was, but I could barely understand her. She kept saying that I would get a 50% refund and 50% off my next purchase. I told her I was reversing the charges and contacting the Better Business Bureau. Not two minutes later, I see in my bank account a full refund.

I made this order on Feb. 1, 2017, and paid for the flowers to be delivered on 2/14/17. Now, I get a confirmation that the order, for some reason with a new order #, was delivered a day late (today 2/15/17). I expect Valentine's to be at least the one day out of the year for flowers to be delivered on time. I spent 2 hours on hold on the phone trying to reach Teleflora customer service. An agent put me on hold for another 10 minutes while they called the florist. I was told that it would be on a truck and delivered within 20 minutes (4:30 p.m). I kindly asked for that and a full refund. Then, only after threatening a bad review, am I told I will receive a 50% refund. I then receive an email confirmation from Teleflora that my arrangement arrived at 7:25 p.m.

    Teleflora lied to me again, and again. I expect a full refund because Teleflora was late to ensure delivery on time to my Mom. This is not the first time Teleflora has failed me and my family. On May 12, 2015, an arrangement was late to my Mom. I have the screenshot to prove this. Again, I expect a full refund. Also, I am still waiting for my 50% refund promised to me by Teleflora's customer service agent I spoke to on the phone today.

    Shout it from the rooftops, whisper in someone's ear, write it in a note, draw it on a wall. Whatever you do today, share the news that Teleflora is a rip-off. COST: $49.93 == NO FLOWERS == over 120 minutes wasted holding on Teleflora's customer service line == no response to emails. I will never use Teleflora again, furthermore, I will advise anyone to NEVER use Teleflora. Teleflora CANNOT BE TRUSTED. Losing the money is not the worst part, my Fiance did not receive his special Roses on our 1st Valentine's Day.

    How do you offer a specialty flower and then cannot deliver it? I ordered my fiancé favorite flower (bird of paradise) and you deliver basic roses as a substitute. First, you did not contact me to substitute my order with cheap looking roses and secondly you charged me the same price. How is a flower that is not native to the USA charged the same as something grown in someone's front yard? Your company is the worst and if I didn't have to give you a star I would of taken the empty stars away also. I will never use this company again and suggest to all that if you need flowers delivered to anyone on any day, don't waste your time with these crooks.

    I ordered Valentine flowers on Feb 13. They processed credit card. Nothing was delivered on the 14th, all day long we waited. I called several times, and was in hold so long I had to hang up. On the 15th, I finally decided to wait it out and was on hold 90 minutes before talking to someone. She verified that the local florist did not make the delivery (yeah, no kidding!!!). Offered to deliver the flowers a day late for 30% off the price. I said no. She said that my original order came in too late (even though it was a day ahead of time). But then why did you accept my money if you knew it was too late? Why didn't the local florist call me? Why didn't Teleflora call me? No answers.

    I first want to start out that this is the worst company to deal with! I ordered Flowers to be delivered on Valentine's day ($85.00). Well come 6:30 PM on 2/14/17 the flowers still have not shown up. I made my first call to customer service and was on hold for a 1/2 hour, called back and again was on hold for another 1/2 hour without getting picked up! I finally received an email that the flowers were delivered at 7:09 PM, this is really strange because there was no flowers delivered at all. I then called back a third time and was on hold for 1 hour before someone finally answered the phone. I explained that I am upset that the flowers have not been delivered but that I receive an email stating that they have been delivered. He then said that they could have them delivered the next day and I had to laugh and said to him that this was too late because the flowers were for Valentine's day.

    I told him I wanted a refund on my card ASAP but he said they would have to talk to the florist to see where they delivered them to and would then have to pick them up, once this was done they could refund me. I told him this was unacceptable and I wanted to talk to a manager or supervisor now. He explained to me that there was no manager or supervisor there that I would have to call back tomorrow. I did this and guess what I was on hold for another hour before I was finally able to talk to anyone again. They put me on hold so they could call the Florist, 5 minutes later they come back and said they cannot reach the florist so they cannot verify so they could not help me so I asked to be switched to an manager and was sent to voicemail!!! NEVER DEAL with this company. Calling credit card company to dispute order and looking into legal advice. Only giving 1 star because I have to!

    I wish I could give this site 0 stars. It doesn't even deserve one. My boyfriend spent over $100 on flowers that were to be delivered to me on Valentine's Day. I understand that is a busy day for florists, but he planned and ordered this a WEEK ahead of time. They were to be delivered to me at my work at 12:30pm. They NEVER arrived. He got a confirmation email at 5:30pm saying they were delivered (even if they were, it would have been too late since I leave at 4:30pm) but the order number in the email wasn't even the correct order number.

    Since he works at the same place I do and he is there until 6:30pm he asked the front desk if they were delivered (which the front desk already knew about it so they were expecting it) and they didn't have a single delivery that day. NOTHING! Now, he has been calling and emailing various times but hasn't been able to get a hold of anyone. HORRIBLE! DO NOT EVER GO WITH THIS COMPANY! He better be getting his money back. Did I mention that it was our first Valentine's Day together? And he was crushed that I didn't receive his surprise.

    I saw their offer online same day delivery... before ordering I read their cutoff dates for same day delivery as I was from Middle East and the recipient is my mom in Canada so we have a very big gap of timings like morning and night difference. It was Valentine's yesterday in Middle East while it is 13th February in Canada so I ordered online around 11am 14th February 2017 while it's evening in Canada. I made a special instruction to deliver the said flowers in morning as my mom is going out for work in morning past 10am.

    As a good daughter I pay for a premium flowers which means there should me more flowers in it plus an additional of 2 balloons and medium chocolates to add to the flowers. My mom waited for the whole day but there is no delivery of flowers till when she went to bed at night she hears a doorbell at around 8:50pm and alas the flower delivered to her! When she post the Valentine's flowers, the balloons and chocolates is not there and to my big dismay the flowers are not as what I was expected. It was not premium but of standard value! I tried to call many times Teleflora but I was just waiting thru phone for a total of 16 minutes for 2 consecutive calls.

    Teleflora is a main hub sending orders to flower shops around the world. I believe florist won't do such mistakes if they gave the correct order and never cheat their customers. I will never again go back to Teleflora! I emailed them many times but they never reply back to my email. Farewell to my $122 money. Also from the beginning upon registering their phone contact format is for US only. If they are servicing internationally they have to fix their telephone format so a simplest thing to fix but they can't even do so what more for the orders. They have tons of complaints and they never do fairly to all customers!

I would never have done it if I didn't get an offer in my email from Virgin America that gave me Elevate points for every dollar spent. Now Valentine's Day is ruined. I look like an idiot in front of my wife, who did not get flowers for Valentine's Day for the first time in 13 years together.

    Updated on 01/08/2020: I ordered flowers for my wife and paid. On the morning of the delivery I received a call from a Teleflora person confirming the delivery address. Flowers were not delivered and I received an email later in the afternoon when it was too late to organise something else. The email advised me that the delivery was cancelled due to the florist being too busy. Received my refund but due to the change back to Canadian funds from US dollar I received less back than I paid originally due to exchange rate. Called many times and complained but they were not interested. There are many other flower delivery companies out there.

    Original Review: Made my order with Teleflora and paid my money. Received a call from a Utah number at 07.30 am in the morning of the delivery confirming delivery address, nothing about the order is canceled. Special reason for the flowers. At 15.00 pm on the delivery day email received from Teleflora stating my order had been canceled, no reason. 3 hours on hold on the phone only to be told by the person on the other line, "Sorry for the inconvenience." Too late to order anything else. Special day ruined. Thanks Teleflora!!!

    I looked at a lot of floral companies to send a delivery to my mother for Valentine's Day since she had just turned 70 last week and I thought she would really appreciate it. I ordered the standard size of Teleflora's Enchanted Cottage because it had so many blooms in the picture it seemed like it would be plenty. I also ordered a box of chocolates and added a note to get a signature and only leave with the recipient. I made sure my mom was going to be home so she could be surprised when it arrived.

    I got an email confirmation of delivery and had not heard from her yet so I sent her a text to ask about her "package" being received. She found the vase of flowers outside her front door and there were no chocolates. I asked her to send me a picture and I was shocked at the difference. I actually thought someone stole her chocolates and most of her roses. There are barely 3 big roses and 4 small roses, a little bit of purple stock and some weird pinkish purple things that I think are the wrong flower. Even the green leaves on what she got look like something off a bush from outside, NOT rose leaves like in the picture.

    I cried for over an hour while I was calling Teleflora to find out what happened. Apparently, they just send an order to the local florist and they only need to follow a "recipe" to be considered fulfilled. When we went over what was supposed to have been included, they determined it was missing a couple of stems plus the chocolate. I offered to send a picture and they said they wouldn't get it so they just went off of what I said. They offered to take back what she had to give me a full refund or take back and redeliver at no extra cost, but that would take a couple of days. Otherwise, they could give me half my money back for the cost of the flowers plus the cost of the chocolates.

    I really wish I had searched for reviews before I ordered. The only reason I took the offer for half back was because my mom was so happy with what she did get that she didn't want to give them back. I knew it would be something special to her, I just wish she could have gotten the full experience of what I actually ordered. From the pictures I've seen on here and the comments I've read, it sounds like false advertising because no one seems to get anything remotely close to what is pictured online. It's truly amazing they have been in business as long as they have. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER... go with this company again. I can't even express the absolute heartache I am feeling today for the complete disappointment from this company.

The delivery driver wasn't a Teleflora employee, it was a third party that was hired for the day to do deliveries. She left the flowers in a parking lot and harassed a security guard to receive them and then drove off. She was a complete jerk.

I was so disappointed because this girl has been through hell and back and all I wanted to do is make her feel special for one day and Teleflora ruined that for me and her. Why offer a service, take a person's money, confirm an order and then say it's not offered??? I plan to put this on every social media, website, survey site, review site to help the next person so they will not be let down by using Teleflora.

    We ordered flowers for a friend who just had surgery. We wanted a nice bright sunny arrangement and found one on Teleflora. The flowers were ordered and delivered and the recipient thanked us for them. Later, we received a picture of what was received and were totally embarrassed. The arrangement was not anything like what was pictured. Calling Teleflora we received the treatment described by many others here. After being on hold several times for 15 - 30 minutes, we went through a series of offers. 1-"How about 20% off your next order." "Um no thanks. Just want the flowers we ordered." 2-"How about 15% refund for this order." "Um no thanks. Just want the flowers we ordered." 3-"How about we deliver an even nicer arrangement." "Great. That would be nice." "Oh, by the way, we will need to pick up the old ones." Really? I need to tell the recipient to hand back the flowers they received? What exactly will the florist do with them??

    Anyway, we reluctantly agreed and waited another 20 minutes on hold. The rep came back and said the florist refused to redeliver because the correct 'number' of flowers were already sent. Escalated to a supervisor. After another 15 minutes on hold, the florist agreed to redeliver the exact same arrangement but would have to have the old ones back. We reluctantly agreed but asked how Teleflora would ensure the arrangement looked like how it was presented on their website. They said they "told the florist". I'm not very hopeful. After reading the other complaints on this site (should have done that first!), I realize this is not unique. If anyone is reviewing before your order, DON'T ORDER FROM TELEFLORA unless you're happy with the picture of what was sent compared to what was ordered.

    Please use your head before posting reviews. First of all, Teleflora DOESN'T guarantee ANY timed deliveries & USUALLY all orders are delivered before 7 PM, however it may be later. It all depends on how many orders the LOCAL SHOP has going out that day & I'm sure you wouldn't want the local shop to put off delivering a funeral piece so she can get your arrangement to your Mom early (& I don't think your Mom would want that either).

    Second, Customers, you should look at the orientation of the flower arrangement, found on Teleflora's website under product description before purchasing. If the item is only to be 'one-sided', & the shop arranges it 'all around', which the shop has full ability to do w/out being penalized, then it is going to look like less flowers when the recipient snaps a pic & sends it to you. The shop can also substitute containers, products & flowers for equal or higher quality items. Most of the times you are also cut a deal when you call in to place an order with Teleflora. Come on people, even I know this information & it's not that hard to understand.

    First, this shouldn't even get a star, but that isn't an option. My daughter turned 25 on 1/27/2017. She was born 6weeks premature. She now lives in Texas. I wanted to send her flowers to mark this milestone and let her know how much I love her. I ordered the "Arrive in Style" standard bouquet. A gorgeous white and pink arrangement of white lilies, pink roses and some smaller white flowers, very little greenery in a clear round vase. This Really represented the Angel that I received 25yrs ago. I ordered her flowers for deliver on 1/28/2017.

    On 1/28/17 at approximately 04:30hrs I received a call from Teleflora in Utah, that the florists in her area were unable to make the deliver due to being closed till Monday 1/30/2017 and if it was Ok to have the flowers delivered then. I was disappointed. The website guarantees next day delivery. I said ok to the Monday delivery, and the representative hung up.

    Well when she received her flowers they were not what I ordered or anything close. She received an arrangement that looked like some left over flowers thrown into a green vase with a lot of greenery for filler. There was no symmetry to the arrangement, the colors were just a bunch of different dyed flowers. No lilies, no roses, no sophistication. It looked like last minute funeral flowers.

    I called to complain and was told that they tried to reach me via email to let me know that the florist couldn't fulfill the order I requested. Since I never answered they left it up to the florist's discretion. I asked why they would email me when they had my phone number. She said, "We don't call, only email". I said, "Well you called to tell me that it couldn't be delivered after the florist closed on Saturday, why wasn't I told you didn't have the right flowers for the bouquet." She said she didn't know. Then I asked if I specifically chose a color theme, like white and pink, which is listed under the white arrangements, why would the florist send this miss-mash of colored flowers. She said that the florist doesn't get a color request. I asked if they don't get a color request how can they refuse to fill the bouquet as asked? She said it doesn't work that way, none of the florist in Texas had the flowers or color flowers that I requested and since I didn't choose an alternative they allowed the florist to choose. The best she could offer me was 40% off my next order or, 30% refund. I took the refund. Will not be using them again.

    The facts: From the time the florist purchases a membership to fulfilling your order. Teleflora has a business model that makes it easy and somewhat affordable upfront to start a flower shop. The Membership application and Rules and Regulations state all fees and commissions. Both documents are in a Contract form and disclaimer to seek legal counsel does not appear on either document. The membership is two parts, clearing house and technology. Each part has its own separate set of fees. Teleflora statements are sent each month breaking down the cost of clearing house, technology, membership, publications, eflorist, outside marketing and Teleflora fees.

    With the membership in place orders for flowers come across the technology side from flower gathering companies. The order you placed has fees added to your purchase and a total is charged to your credit card. The florist then receives that order minus the fees you were charged and less than the purchase price, plus the florist needs to deliver your order. Your order now goes through a cycle of florists that accept or reject the order. When your order is rejected enough times, more of your money is placed on your order, and again it is cycled through. If there is enough money your order is filled.

    The Teleflora code of conduct states that all arrangements have to be filled to 100 percent of their value. If you purchase a $100.00 arrangement plus fees, the receiving florist's net amount to fill and deliver your order will be between $65-85 noting that the order needs to be filled to 100 percent. The florist two choices are make it look like $100 dollars or fill the order to $100 dollars with a budget amount of $85 dollars. I hope this helps with understanding where it starts and my complaint about Teleflora.

    My florist's actual November 2016 Teleflora Statement, 30 orders sent out for a net total of $1,784.00 of which the florist filled the orders, purchased the flowers, vases, ribbon, cards and delivery. Then only to receive a check in the amount of $412.00 dollars is ludicrous and legal. Note I have a degree in Accounting and Construction Management. And I am certainly impressed with Teleflora's accounting practices and interpretation of full disclosure on a contract with a consumer who clearly needed legal advice.

    Extremely disappointed and embarrassed. I was not able to take a picture because I was at a mortuary. The arrangement was surrounded by beautiful ones and I was disgusted for the appearance of simple and cheap. It was NOT cheap. NEVER AGAIN!!! I bought the Deal of the Day for Funeral. They would use "the best flowers of the season." It seemed like a $6.99 deal from Ralphs or Vons, but arranged in a vase.

Got called back saying the florist did not have the flowers I ordered and would I accept a different arrangement. I agreed. on 1/6/17 my order was NOT delivered. I called Teleflora.

Again, said they would call me back.

    On 1/9/17 I called them to cancel my order. They said they would send me confirmation of my cancellation and will credit my bank account. As of 1/10/17, I have not gotten a confirmation, or my refund. I called again, they said their policy is to refund within 7-10 business days.

    I found Teleflora on Groupon. I had no problem making my order and applying the Groupon coupon. The Teleflora website and floral arrangement prices were very attractive compared to local florist. It seems Teleflora is online and acts as a third party to work with your local florists. Since they did not deliver to the recipient's ZIP code I had the delivery sent to myself. Hence the reason I was the recipient.

    I received a confirmation of a hand delivery at 1:39 p.m. It was 4:30 p.m. when I actually saw the email and at that time I still had not received a delivery. I called and requested to be placed in a virtual queue for a call-back, as opposed to waiting for the 20 minute wait they stated. To date (20 hours later) I have not been called back. I also sent an email at teleflora.com describing the nondelivery and I still have not heard from anyone. After the fact I then checked reviews for Teleflora to find out they were a 1 star company. I'm sure that's only because you can't choose half a star or no star at all. Based on reviews they are processing orders and not delivering at all.

    I ordered the zen artistry arrangement because "white orchids were not available in that service area". The purple orchids were substituted with what now... discolored bamboo and WHITE orchids. The arrangement falls flat. The vibrant green is not present in the bamboo, it is BROWN and not all the same length. The other pop of color that was to be represented by purple, was replaced with white. It's way too busy on the bottom portion. It looks like they just threw extra junk in there to compensate for the ugly bamboo and the non-colored orchid. Where are the GREEN berries? Why are they red? And even so... why aren't there three bunches instead of just one? The fronds on the right side look thrown together, not neatly arranged. Do the florists they have hired even know what "zen" means? This is NOT what I consider to be a "premium arrangement", it gives me a headache just looking at it!

    We ordered flowers for our grandmother's funeral. My husband was deployed and couldn't be at the funeral. This was the least we could do. We ordered them to be delivered on 2 Jan for the visitation. We were NEVER notified that no one was open and the ordered wasn't even processed. We didn't know the flowers weren't there until we called our family. We were hoping they would make it for the service. I got a call early the morning of the service, telling me they couldn't be delivered until today (3 Jan). I was upset, but I was all right since they would at least make the service. NOPE, I WAS WRONG!!! They called again, quite a bit later, telling me they couldn't get the flowers I ordered and if another arrangement would be all right. At this time it was 2:45 pm; the funeral started at 2. Now I had to give them another address to a family member's home and they are suppose to be delivered to them tomorrow (4 Jan).

    I asked at the minimum to be compensated for their lack of communication and tardiness. All they wanted to give me was 50% my next order. I WILL NEVER order from them again and recommend no one else does either. I've used FTD before and I recommend everyone use them, but don't ever use Teleflora.

    I purchased a discount on groupon for Teleflora thinking it was a great deal. Well, I have no problem with groupon, but I certainly do with Teleflora. On 12/20/16, I ordered the Thomas Kinkade Jolly Santa Bouquet Premium to be delivered on 12/23/16. With the $40 discount the arrangement was $78. The arrangement was not delivered the day it was supposed to be, yet I received a delivery confirmation for it. I then phoned Teleflora and waited over 20 mins. for someone to come on the line. Once I got someone live, he wasn't very much help insisting that the flowers were delivered (funny I got the delivery e-mail on a Friday evening after 8 pm. I don't know of any flower shops that are open that late). He then stated he would contact the flower shop and see what was going on and call me back within 2 hours.

    Well 2 hours came and went with no response so I called them back and this time of course spoke with another representative whom I also waited for over 20 mins to speak to. She also said she'd call me back in a few hours when I said... "no I don't think so... I'm not playing that game." She gave me her name and assured me she would take care of things and call me back. Again, no callback. Saturday, the 24th I received a call from the flower delivery person and the flowers were finally delivered. The arrangement although pretty, the flowers were definitely not the same as in the picture... not even close. I believe for the money paid, it was definitely not worth it. I would like a total refund for all the bull I had to put up with getting it delivered to begin with!!!

All my emails were answered by a different service rep, and they basically said "that order has been delivered". When I replied "no it has not," they would say "Oh I'll look into that." And I never heard back from that rep. Finally today a Teleflora rep actually got through to the florist and they delivered a arrangement that looked like it had been in his car since Friday.

On the order form I specifically put in my phone number and requested a call if there was a problem with order/delivery. To date, no call.

No email replies, not in inbox, spam, junk, or anywhere. When I called the customer service number on 12/21, 12/22. 12/23 I could never get through to anyone or any recorded information about the order status no matter what buttons I pushed. The selection for order status was a recording and when order info was entered, it simply stated that they appreciated my business and were assuring me the order would be handled, or some such. Finally today, I spoke with a human who informed me that she was sorry that things didn't go well and that my money had been refunded. So far, my PayPal account shows no refund. Horrible experience.

    I ordered flowers for a friend going through a rough time. Paid slightly over $45 for the arrangement and all shipping/extra fees. Once the flowers were delivered I asked my friend to send a picture and it was missing more than half the flowers depicted in the photo online. The colors were definitely a bit off - or even missing - from the arrangement and I just wasn't happy with what I paid for.

    I called Teleflora the next morning and spoke with a woman who offered me 30% off my next purchase which I refused because I will not be using them again. I next was offered 50% refund and I instead chose to send my friend ANOTHER arrangement that would be customized by the florist. I was put on hold while the operator called the florist and held for 15 minutes until I had to go back to work. Telaflora had my phone number and email from my original order but I was never contacted again.

    Later that afternoon I called Teleflora back to continue my original call to find out the earlier operator put through my EXACT SAME ORIGINAL ORDER again to THE SAME EXACT FLORIST who screwed it up before (after I was told it would be a new arrangement) but I was never contacted. It was already out for delivery and I was not notified but I will receive an email once it's delivered. But here's the kicker.. The florist will have to confiscate the old flower order that I complained about. Yes, not only did the place the order without telling me and put the exact same order out today - that was supposed to be customized - but if my recipient is not there to take the old arrangement they will NOT deliver the new arrangement. Instead, it goes back to the florist and they will continue to try daily to take the old flowers back before they deliver the new ones.

    My problem is I have no idea if my friend kept the flowers. What if they brought them to work? Or they died by the time Teleflora catches my friend at home and they've been thrown out? I have photos to show them which I mentioned to my first operator. I was told if they cannot get the old bouquet that they have a "special team" to handle those matters.

    I have used Teleflora one time previously and had no issues. My flowers were delivered as I expected them to and I had no complaints. I did not have second guesses on using them again. While my arrangement showed up on time, to me it was missing more flowers/color then what I expected and had ordered. I will not be using their services any further due to the multiple phone calls - and headache - I had today and the fact that a florist saw what I ordered and continued to deliver basically half of the flowers shown in the arrangement and that's okay by Teleflora standards. I am disappointed what was supposed to be a nice gesture for a friend turned into this.

    I am giving one star for now, until I get appropriate feedback from Teleflora. I wish I had read reviews on Teleflora first, as I would not have ordered from them had I seen all of the bad reviews. I put in an order on Sat the 17th of Dec for a Christmas flower bouquet to be sent to my parents on Mon Dec 19. The order went through fine, no messages came up that it wasn't available for delivery today in their zip code. I talked to my dad later tonight, just called to basically check in & thought he might mention the flowers, he never did. Asked if they had been home all day, he said yes, except for about 15 min. Had to let the cat out of the bag for him to check the front door just in case flowers came while they were gone - nothing. Now it's not a surprise for my parents anymore.

    I received no call, no text, no email from Teleflora today letting me know that the flowers weren't available and wouldn't be delivered. Called them about 7 PM. Was on hold for 20 min. When rep answered, she put me on hold some more, then finally said they will call me when they receive call from florist, then after pumping her a little more, she finally said the flowers weren't available and they (I guess Teleflora) were trying to find another flower shop.

    WHILE I WAS ON HOLD WITH TELEFLORA, I had enough time to send 2 emails to them expressing my dissatisfaction. They indicated I would hear from them promptly. I requested partial refund in my email (By the way, I paid $17 for the handling fee). Three and a half hours later, no response to my email. It makes me wonder if they are just trying to get people to order from them and once they have the order decide they are going to do (or not do) whatever they want to from there and not stand behind themselves, AND not reach out appropriately to their customers.

    I am very dissatisfied with this company and WILL NOT order from them again if they do not resolve this appropriately and professionally (and I still may choose not to). If I'm able to, I will update this post once I get feedback from them, to be fair. One other thing, I have received about 3 emails tonight from them for advertising. My question is, why would I want to use them again, when this whole experience so far has been very unprofessional?

This is why I am giving them 2 stars but in all honestly, they should be paying me for the price that I have paid in feeling horrible and clearly cheap for what was delivered to my sister in trying to put a smile on her face! I ordered by credit card last night so I have not received my monthly statement yet to add the receipt as a verified buyer but my photos speak louder than this proof.

    If I could give no stars - I would. This was my first time using Teleflora. I ordered a premium, beautiful, big bouquet for my mother's birthday three weeks in advance. It was to be delivered on a Sunday. I selected the Premium Sapphire Skies Bouquet. The delivery man called me around 2:20 PM that day and left a voicemail saying he didn't have a clue as to where the recipient's address was and he didn't know where to go. I saw the missed call and called back no more than fifteen minutes later. I left a voicemail, called again, and even texted him. He never responded. Then mysteriously I received a delivery confirmation email around 4 PM which said that the flowers had been delivered. My mother comes home that night and finds no flowers. I call the next morning because Teleflora has inconvenient customer service hours, and they assure me that the flowers will be sent out today.

    They ask for two more phone numbers in case the delivery guy gets lost again! They also said the florist shop mistakenly stated the flowers were delivered - yea right. I then get two strange emails throughout day stating they are having problems again and I call around 3 PM and they tell me that there were problems, no one was there to take the flowers. I try to keep calm and say I wrote instructions with my order saying leave them with the concierge of the building. The customer service representative then goes, "Oh! Yea, I see that now, well the flowers were delivered, in fact your mother personally received them." Lie. She was not there but the doorman of the building was able to finally take them.

    After all of the calling she finally receives them, I'm relieved - for a moment. I ask for a picture and what I see is absolutely horrible. Instead of the lush, vibrant bouquet I thought I ordered, I got a few minuscule white roses with lilies in bud form, in a tiny blue, cube vase. The description on the site did not explicitly state that the lilies would arrive in bud form, nor did the picture have such a striking and pathetic contrast with the excuse that was delivered for my mother's bouquet. I immediately emailed them asking for a full refund because the aggravation and disappointment had reached a boiling point. So you know what they said? "We'll give you only a third of what you paid, back. Why? Well if you want a full refund, we'll just come back to your address and take those flowers from you."

    Very classy, Teleflora. That's Teleflora's "solution" to someone who shelled out $75 on a bouquet as a nice birthday gesture for their mom, only to have it arrive a day late and then offered to be taken away after causing so much disappointment. Keep losing customers - I wish I had known the trouble I was getting into. Your customer service is incompetent. Your products are crap. Your entire corporation is a joke.

    I placed an order for a birthday delivery in the late afternoon but before their 3 pm deadline for same day delivery. I received an e-mail the order was successfully placed. 20 minutes later I get a call there was a problem verifying my CC. They continued to relate it was now too late to send the flowers same day (her birthday). They offered me a 30% off code as their apology. I tried to place the same order again 2 days later as the birthday recipient mentioned she would be home that day for 1 day. I tried using the code but it would not work. To comply with the 3 pm deadline, I placed the order online and completed it. I then called customer service to apply the code but was very specific that I placed the order online first in order to make the same day delivery cut off. She goes to apply discount, which ended up not being much of a discount at all so I told her not to apply that. I would use it another time.

    I then speak to a supervisor who informs me the discount was not applied but because I called in to apply it and it was just resolved, that it is now too late to have the flowers delivered same day. I related the first thing I mentioned was the flowers need to be delivered today and it was your agent's responsibility to inform me that attempting to use the code may affect if the flowers are delivered today and logically I would have not attempted. The agent and supervisor were senseless and rude. The supervisor insisted over my disapproval that she "successfully" assisted me and that it was "my fault" the flowers were not being delivered today (for the second time!).

    What kind of motto do they have there??? Client is always wrong and the business is always right? Take responsibility that your employees are the reason the order was canceled twice and why I will never use your awful business for my flower delivery needs. Waste of time!! At least hire supervisors who know how to conduct business, not lose it!!!

    I placed an order 2 days ago for a birthday delivery and late afternoon, ON the day of delivery, I get a notification to say they cannot deliver today. When I called I got a string of apologies, which are of zero use to me, when I now have no time to arrange for anything else. Their excuse was that all the shops in the area have done their deliveries for the day and they'll include a note of apology with the delivery. How, with 2 days notice, was the order NOT placed in good time for delivery on the right day? And you have the balls to charge me a service fee for a service I didn't receive? Really??

    I'm so pleased my mom wasted her birthday sitting at home waiting for a delivery that didn't come. And do NOT send me another e-mail saying 'Thank you for your business' because this company will not receive another damn penny from me. When they offered a partial refund I asked them to rather keep the refund and upgrade the flowers instead. Nope. Don't be ridiculous, that would involve customer service so why do that?

When work was over I read it, only to find out that the flowers would not be delivered that day. No alternative solution, no apology. I called them, and after trying to make them realize how useless late anniversary flowers are, and having to escalate it, they offered what they thought was a generous 20% off. What a joke. Then I get the customer service survey email asking how "Keith" did, but the CS person was a woman.

    I ordered flowers on 8/25/16 to be delivered the next day to my wife's work. I made sure to leave her cell number on the order so they could contact her and have her come down to the desk to get them. I was so excited, since they were to congratulate her on her work assignment and I wanted her to have the experience of receiving the flowers in her office. They called her an hour before she would normally leave work, to tell her that they tried to deliver to the house but were turned away. (The address was for a commercial building, not a residence). My wife unknowingly, said it would be okay to deliver to her residence instead.

    I called Teleflora and immediately asked them to cancel the order (being that it was a Friday and the surprise was blown). They said, "but your wife said it was okay to deliver elsewhere." I said "my wife didn't order the flowers, I did, and they were supposed to be able to be part of the experience at work where she could put them on her desk, and have her co-workers talk about it, but that experience is lost now, isn't it?" I haven't received a refund or cancellation confirmation yet, but Erica assured me it would happen. I am certainly disputing the charges with my CC if not. No thanks Teleflora. Never again.

    I placed an order for an arrangement (1948 Ford Truck as the vase). After I placed the order, I realized I wanted to confirm that the vase would not be substituted but I was flexible on the flowers. I googled Teleflora to obtain a phone number and came along the reviews. My heart sunk when I read all the negative reviews and I was ready to cancel the order. As a matter of fact, when the gentleman answered the phone the first words out of my mouth was "I would like to cancel my order". I explained I read the reviews and I no longer wanted to keep the order as I feared what would show up. I happen to live in an area with pretty good flower shops and after speaking with him (he could not disclose which shop would be handling my order) but he placed me on hold and confirmed that the local flower shop had the vase I wanted and it was ready for delivery.

    I didn't cancel the order because what really sold me was the vase. My husband received the flowers and sent me the picture. They were even more beautiful than I expected. I don't normally write reviews but with all the bad reviews Telefora has received, I felt compelled to do so. I know they contract the arrangements out to a local florist in your area and perhaps I was fortunate enough to have an amazing florist.

    I ordered flowers for a friend in north Carolina on a Saturday evening to have the flowers delivered for a Monday afternoon. I chose teleflora because the slogan proudly stated on the website banner "Next day and same day delivery available on all bouquets. After choosing a bouquet of daisies, I checked out without a problem and sent an email confirmation being told they would be delivered Monday. Monday at 3 am, I received an email saying that the bouquet could not be arranged for Monday and requested another date for delivery. I was given the choice of three dates, the following Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday for delivery. I chose the following Tuesday.

    That same Monday at 6 pm I received an email saying that the chosen bouquet could not be processed. I was directed to choose two new options, one, to have the florist arrange a new bouquet for delivery, or two, this option would not satisfy my needs. I chose the latter. I was not given any indication that a refund would be given or that anything would be done to compensate my frustrations. I waited a few minutes to see if I would receive an email explaining the teleflora policy on refunds, but received no new information. I called teleflora directly, the only saving grace of this story. Within 5 minutes I was speaking to a representative and the representative promptly awarded a refund with no questions or qualms. If it were not for the representative being friendly and helpful and prompt, this would have received one star. Very disappointed in the service. Would not use again.

    I wish no stars was an option. I wanted to send an arrangement to a co-worker in another city, and thought Teleflora would be my best option as I wanted to make sure I could see what I was sending. I spent quite a bit of time on the website, looking at different arrangements, and deciding on size. The site allows you to select standard, deluxe, or premium, and the appearance of the arrangement changes as you change your selection. Obviously, the conclusion one would come to (and clearly Teleflora's intention) is that this would represent what you'd get. I understood that there may be some substitutions (i.e. pink instead of purple, carnations instead of alstroemeria, or so on).

    I opted for the Make a Wish - Deluxe arrangement, pictured on the left below. I thought it was a beautiful arrangement, appeared to have a healthy ~30 blooms. Given that it was primarily mums, asters, and carnations, I thought the $43 price tag made sense. I got the arrangement on the right. A total of 16 blooms, generously counting given that they are mostly cluster flowers. 16.

    Extremely disappointed, I contacted Teleflora customer service. I included pictures, screenshots of what I saw when I selected the different price levels, and even highlighted the total # of blooms in their pictures. Given my earlier statement of wishing I could give them 0 stars, I imagine you can anticipate the response. I will never again use Teleflora.

    Ordered flowers for my daughter for after her surgery today. Man what a disappointment!! Ordered the "arrive in style" only they arrived in dismay! $80 for the flowers and delivery only to see that the arrangement was fall apart and was not even the correct colors! I ordered the premium so the vase would be full and beautiful for my baby girl to have something pretty in her room with her while recovering. The flowers ended up in the trash! I wish I would have got better pics of the pedals that were falling off and the stems that were snapped. The flowers were supposed to be "rose pink" roses and white lilies. However I got white roses with red tips, carnations, some other flowers and maybe 4 lilies that were not even bloomed yet. The vase was scarce to say the least.

    I Sat on hold with CS at Teleflora for 15 mins before they even picked up the phone. Then I got "I can give you 40% off your next order." Well I will NEVER use that, so that was not good. I finally got the supervisor who said that they would be glad to fully refund my money... I just needed my daughter (remember, fresh out of surgery) to go into her dumpster to get the flowers out and set them on her doorstep so the florist could come and pick them up. I told her no way in hell was anyone ESPECIALLY my daughter, climbing into the DUMPSTER to get broken and messed up flowers. I would "settle" with giving me the money back for the "arrangement" (if that is what you want to call it) and the $16.99 delivery fee, I would be fine with paying (cause they did deliver, unfortunately they delivered crappy arrangements).

    This was after they were just left on the porch and no one was notified that they were there, did not get a confirmation until HOURS after they were discovered on the porch by someone who came to see my daughter, falling apart AND not what I ordered. I got the charges of the flowers refunded! Just took some not so happy customer chewing some people out. I hate these kinds of customer service! Call lasted 35 mins and 24 seconds.

    On Thursday I ordered an expensive bouquet of flowers on Teleflora. I chose delivery on Friday. It was imperative that the flowers be delivered on Friday. It was explained on the site that I would receive confirmation that the flowers were delivered. What they didn't explain that you might have to wait for a week until you received that confirmation. By that time, of course, the occasion would have passed and you are left wondering if the delivery occurred. When I contacted Teleflora customer service via chat they attempted to circumvent/re-route me to email. They assured me that I would receive an email confirmation as soon as I received it which, of course, is double-talk.

    If I hadn't paid approximately $140US for the flowers I probably wouldn't care but I wanted to at least confirm that they were delivered. Having not heard anything from the intended recipient I was not confident that the deadline had been met. When I contacted the chat line I started chatting with a person named Cody who was obviously skilled in diplomacy but had to resort to inane double-talk rather than doing anything constructive to confirm delivery. Giving me the Florist's name or phone number would have solved the problem; I could have solved the problem myself... but he refused to do it. Eventually he/she just terminated the chat. It turns out that the florist to whom the order was delegated never even tried to deliver the order. The new Customer Service Rep described it as an oversight. This was exactly what I suspected but was blocked from confirming it. Thankfully they offered a refund... in 10 days.

    Is it really this hard to get responsive customer service? How is making people spend an hour on a chat that goes nowhere and exasperates them a good business policy? Sheesh. I ordered breakfast at a restaurant the other day. The toast was burnt. Had Teleflora been handling things I guess I would have had to contact a customer service rep on a chatline, who then would assure me that the problem would be solved at their earliest convenience, and that another customer representative would be contacting me via email in the next 24-48 hours to discuss a solution. I'm glad Teleflora wasn't handling the toast incident. As it happened, I just took the burnt toast back to the guy behind the counter and he brought me some new toast.

It failed to go through, so I then placed the order over the phone and was told to expect a confirmation email. The confirmation never came, so I then emailed Teleflora asking for an explanation. Only then I was replied to (via email) with the explanation that the order could not go through because items had been 'black listed' from a previous 'fraudulent' order. I then called in for them to explain what that meant and was told to contact my bank/credit card company, which I did. I was assured by my financial institution that everything was fine with my card and that the payment did go through, but it was then credited back to my card a few hours later.

    I then phoned Teleflora again and told them everything is fine and would like to place the order again later on. I managed to 'successfully' place the order a third time online and received a confirmation of the order. I thought all was well and that my gift was on its way. It was at the end of the day when no flowers came that I phoned Teleflora again inquiring about my order (utterly embarrassed that my loved one never received his gift). It was only then I was told that the payment was not authorized.

    I still could not understand what was going on, but my biggest problem with Teleflora is that on three occasions, they failed to let me know that there was something wrong.

The florist had called recipient BEFORE making delivery & was told NOT to deliver since recipient was out of state. Recipient stated SHE would PICK UP the flower on her 5/31 return. Upon arriving home 5/31 recipient found a soggy box full of dead flowers, so she called the florist & talked to the same person, who stated he had "made an executive decision to go ahead & deliver the flowers anyway". Since the neighbors were also not at home, the flower we just left on the porch. He then told the recipient the following:

    A) "What do you want me to do about it. The flowers would be dead by now, even if you had been at home."
    B) "This order was only $19.99 so what do you expect?" Another lie about the cost.

    C) "They have already been paid for, so there is nothing you can do about it." He then hung up on the caller.

    I sent flowers 6 days prior to Mother's Day to make sure my mother would receive them. The order came in (dead flowers). Teleflora picked them up on my request and was going to make a new one. Two days later still no flowers. I called the company that picked them up and they said... "Oh, they cancelled your order, you should had called us direct and there would had been no issues 'cause Teleflora is awful". I called Teleflora again and supposedly they were going to get a new company out, well at this point it's Saturday. Sunday at 1pm I get a call from new company and they said they are too busy. They could not deliver but could deliver on Wednesday! 3 days after Mother's Day... I was very upset since. Also we were dealing with my mother getting cancer testing during that same week. This was suppose to be a picker upper... DIDN'T HAPPEN.

    I ordered flowers to be delivered on May 6, 2016 but the flowers were not delivered until May 7, 2016. By that time, the occasion had passed, which was very disappointing and embarrassing. I asked Teleflora about the issue and they offered a discount promotion code for my "next order." I told them I had no intention of using their services again, and suggested they refund my order, since they did not deliver as promised. They issued a 50% refund and indicated that in order to provide a full refund, I would have to provide the floral arrangement. By the time this process had played out, the arrangement was long dead and discarded. Teleflora insisted that they needed the arrangement to provide a full refund. I asked why this was necessary and no one could answer that question. I will never use this company again. Terrible service and ridiculous policies.

    I just want to write a feedback about this horrible company. I ordered corsage/boutonniere for my son's prom. And they supposed to give me delivery confirmation today but no calls so I called back and they said they can't hold of flower shop and can't tell me any info. Really? So I kept calling them and finally someone said they got hold of flower shop but don't have same flower that I ordered. I just couldn't believe that they didn't tell me earlier so I can cancel and find it in another shop! Since I don't have any time so I said whatever but make sure they get delivered on time so he will have flowers at least.

    Well, the flower shop person brought only crappy looking corsage but no boutonniere and said she doesn't know what happened with boutonniere. So after all the headache and waiting all day, went for NOTHING! My son had to go to prom without flowers for him and his girlfriend! I can't imagine how embarrassed he is gonna be. I'm so upset about this Teleflora company and flower shop they used and made me go through this stressful horrible experience that wasted my energy and time! Even they cancel my ordered to get full refund, I'm still upset because my son has no dang flowers for his prom! They absolutely ruined his prom for sure!

I was upset although 2 days later I thought I would try them again. Only if I would have read the reviews first. Then I never would have called back. I placed another order. Received a confirmation number to make sure my card went through. Mind you it was exactly the same card. Again the flowers never got delivered. So I called the next day talked to a representative. She said she was gonna call the florist in the area that my mom lived in and get to the bottom of this and she would for sure call me back in a couple hours. She never called me back. Again the flowers never got there yet another day.

    I was FURIOUS!!! I called the next day and DEMANDED to speak to a supervisor. She told me they did call and they couldn't get an answer at the floral shop. Seriously? Oh hell no!!! I told them I wanted my card refunded! They told me it will be 10 days before I see a refund. I let her know that I will be watching my statement for a refund and that it better be there. If not I will be contacting Federal Bureau of Investigation!!! I guaranteed that!!! If I do not get there with that, I will go as far as I have to!!! If could rate them a zero I would!!!

    I ordered a Mother's Day bouquet for my mother-in-law to be delivered 2 days prior to the holiday; in short the flowers never ever arrived. I called Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and never got a response from the company. Finally, Monday I got a hold of someone who only apologized for the inconvenience and stated they were trying to find a person to deliver them still. It then took 4 emails with me requesting cancellation of the order before they would finally cancel it. I was extremely frustrated and upset w/ this company and the way they handled working with me. They could have rectified this by communicating with me prior to the holiday and giving me the option to get her something else. Instead she received nothing except annoying phone calls from me, ruining the surprise, asking "did you receive anything yet?" NOT okay.

    I ordered for my wife for her birthday. The flowers showed up on time. I ordered the "premium" version of one of the sets so there was a $69.99 charge. What was shown and described for $70 was nothing to what she received. What was received was actually received was not even half the size of the basic version. I will say it was a nice looking (LITTLE) arrangement, but based on size and flowers, should have been $30 instead of $70. I sent a complaint to the company to which I received an email two days later that I would receive a 25% refund. They did not fulfill 75% of their work, but it isn't worth continued fighting and at least they are giving me a little refund for it.

    Besides the flowers, the note to my wife was not only filled with poor spelling (including my own name), but did not match the note that was on my order. Very disappointed, will never order through them again, and will warn anyone thinking about ordering flowers to avoid like the plague. I wish I had taken the time to look up reviews before ordering.

    I wanted to order flowers for the relative for her birthday on May 9th 2016. Initially I tried 1800Flowers, but they had no delivery for the desired day. I turned to the Teleflora, and I wish I never did. On May 9th in the morning I received e-mail stating that the flowers were already delivered. The recipient stated that she never received anything. Around 6 pm on the same day I called Teleflora. After being on hold for good 25 minutes I finally got a rep, who informed me that the flowers were on the way, and were going to be delivered by 7 pm that day. I asked the rep to give a recipient a call right before the delivery, and the rep said that it will be done. No flowers were delivered that day or evening.

    On the next day around 6 pm all of the sudden the flowers were attempted to be delivered, but it was too late, and I was not in need of this delivery anymore. Had I known that Teleflora was going to mess up my order I would not have ever worked with them. At least 1800Flowers guarantee timely delivery. Now I have been on hold with the Teleflora for over 40 minutes and still no person to speak with. Worst experience ever! I will never use them again.

    I bought Teleflora's morning melody for my mom and had it delivered the day before Mother's Day. The whole theme was supposed to be 'purple' (purple flowers, purple bow, and purple glass cube vase) but what my mom received looked completely different from what was shown online. It didn't even come with a vase. The florist should have called me to ask if I'm ok with different flowers to be delivered, but I had to be the one calling customer service to find out about all this after waiting for more than 30 minutes to talk to a very unfriendly representative.

    I wasn't surprised to wait that long to talk to a representative because I knew customers who called ahead of me are probably complaining about the same matter. They said they can only give 50% refund for the inconvenience as they "at least sent something." Or full refund can only happen if they pick up the flower that was delivered. I didn't want to steal flowers away from my mom so I chose 50% refund option but PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TELEFLORA. Their service sucks. I wished I read the reviews before ordering. I usually never write reviews, my experience with Teleflora was just terrible that I couldn't NOT write anything. Hope this review helps.

    I just reunited with my aunt after 14 years and thought it would be nice to send her mother's day flowers to show her I loved her and missed the time we had apart. So I order the flowers the day before mother's day and they promised to deliver "same day". It is now 2 days after mothers day and she has not received any flowers from me. When I emailed customer service they sent me a confirmation email saying that the flowers had been signed for at the address. So I call customer service on the toll free number only to be put on hold for an hour and a half (literally I have call logs to prove this).

    After waiting the long time to speak to someone she answers the phone and listens to my problem then she puts me on hold for another 10 mins. She comes back to tell me that the flowers were signed for around 6pm on Monday (the day after mothers day). I just spoke with my aunt at 8pm on Monday so I knew she didn't get anything. The operator told me that someone would be contacting me on Tuesday morning and I have yet to get a call. I called customer service back and was hung up on 3 times so far.

    I ordered flowers for Mother's day to be sent to both Grandmothers, on different dates. Neither Grandmother received their flowers. Teleflora was next to impossible to get anyone on the phone for customer service for two days. I spent a total of 7 hours trying to find out what happened to these deliveries. When I finally reached someone, although she was nice, she informed me, they didn't have a florist affiliate in GA where one order was going and the florist in Maryland that were in my mom's area were "overwhelmed".

    This accounting of "what happened" took her putting me on hold a total of three times, and another 49 minutes. First I was told they emailed me. I told her "No one called or emailed me to let me know there was problem." On hold again, "Oh you're right, they never sent the email." Other than her apologizing and "feeling bad" it is obvious this floral company has no concept of what they are doing. Had one of the deliveries not been local, I would have never known the flowers did not come.

    Now I am told it might be up to 10 days before I see my refund on both orders. They have $140.00 of my money, my mother/mother in law never received their flowers and I look like I didn't even care enough to recognize Mother's Day. If there was a problem with delivery, they should have contacted me not I contact them! Will NEVER use Teleflora Again. They do not even deserve 1 star for this experience.

They were a disappointment. Not even close to the product I ordered. It look like it was put together by a child or someone with absolutely no flower arrangement experience.

    This was the first time and the LAST time I am using their service!! First off, I had ordered flowers to be delivered to my mom on 5/8/16 for Mother's Day, but it never came! They even had the nerve to send me an email telling me that the flowers were "hand-delivered." After trying to call them to complain and being on hold for nearly half an hour, they finally said that they will redeliver the flowers and that they will give me a partial refund. When the flowers finally arrived, the person who delivered it didn't even bother ringing the doorbell. They just left it on the porch and left, didn't knock, didn't say a word. What the hell is that?? Second of all, the flowers that came didn't even look remotely the same as the ones I ordered. NOT EVEN CLOSE!! I had ordered lilies, daisies, and roses placed in a yellow vase. None of the flowers I got had any of those kind!!

    They didn't even get the vase correct! It looks like they just cut the flowers from a garden and shove a bunch of them in a cheap vase. It looks so UGLY and CHEAP!! I am completely LIVID with the type of customer service and quality that Teleflora provides. This is unacceptable!! When I tried calling them back the 2nd time to get a full refund, I was again placed on hold for almost an hour. The dude on the phone said that he will give me a full refund, but they're going to have to call the flower shop to come back to pick up the flowers. Like really?? You ** screwed up!!

    How messed up is it to deliver flowers to someone for Mother's Day and then go and take it back from them. They have one ** job, and they can't even do it right. At this point, I just want my money back. The flowers were HIDEOUS anyways so I'm more than happy that they take that piece of **. So much for a Mother's Day surprise!! My poor mommy was waiting all day for them. Teleflora ought to be ashamed of themselves for ripping consumers off!! NEVER AGAIN! Please AVOID at all cost!! They ought to be shut down or get sued!!

    My auntie was hospitalized to have a heart operation. I wanted to send flowers right away, so I did my search online and Teleflora was offering delivery on the same day if you would place the order before 3 pm. SO I chose them JUST BECAUSE OF THAT REASON. I ordered the flowers just before 3 pm and was expecting flowers to arrive that same day Friday. But NO, they didn't arrived that day. Teleflora sent me later that day, an email giving ME NO OPTIONS BUT TO CHOSE ANOTHER DAY. There was not the option to cancel the order and get refund. SO I had to change the delivery to Saturday.

    Around 3 pm on Saturday I called Teleflora to make sure it was delivered, and to my dismay, NO, THE ORDER WAS NOT EVEN PROCESSED. But the worst part is I had to be on the phone waiting to speak to an operator for more than an hour, and then when finally someone talked to me, he didn't dare to tell me the truth so he HANGED UP on me. Then I called a second time, same thing. Waiting, listening their stupid music for long time again. A woman finally from customer service replied. Then she put me again on hold to speak with the florist she said, then I waited again. Then she didn't dare telling me the truth so she lied. Told me and the flowers were already on their way. When I asked her to please tell me a exact time when the flowers would be delivered, she simply hanged up. So OK, I called again.

    Finally after waiting again another 20 minutes or so on the waiting line, a guy named Ross was honest enough as to tell me the process has not been process. At this point I was so upset. I told him, I wanted to cancel the order and have my full money refund so I could go immediately and buy the flowers somewhere else. He told me all he could do is TO GIVE ME 20% DISCOUNT ON THE NEXT ORDER. I was soooo mad. I told him there is no way I am ordering again from them, and I simply wanted my money back as they didn't delivered whatever was agreed on our transaction. HE said he cannot give me refund. But he was gonna be nice and give me up to 40% discount on next order...really??? I was arguing for long time with this man and they are stupid. They are nasty. They are thieves. I told him I need to speak with the manager, then of course I was already more than hour on the phone and they PUT ME AGAIN ON HOLD.

    Finally I spoke with the manager Earl and after long time negotiating, I had to beg for the refund. He promised me the flowers will arrive Monday first thing in the morning before she was gonna be transfer to another hospital as I told him she was gonna be transfer after 12. He promised flowers will be there earlier, first thing Monday morning. I received an email Monday from Teleflora telling me the flowers were happily delivered. I called my aunt to see if she liked the flowers. She had not get any flowers!!! So Teleflora lied to me again!!! I had to call the old hospital to tell them to hold on the flowers as my cousin will go there to pick them up. Then the nurse told me Teleflora guy took the flowers with him and didn't delivered anything.

    Now as I write this, I am again on hold, today Monday, with customer support at Teleflora. They promised to send the flowers tomorrow Tuesday!!! This is really a nightmare and TELEFLORA SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS FOR OFFERING SERVICES THEY CANNOT PERFORM and FOR REPEATEDLY LYING TO CUSTOMERS. I am curious to see if Teleflora will deliver tomorrow. Ah, and they said they will reimbursed the money, but honestly I will believe it when I will see it. BY the way, I buy flowers online all the time as my family is abroad and I like to surprise them, and this is the first time something like this happen to me. This was first time I used Teleflora and definitely the LAST ONE. Do not buy flowers from them. It will ruin your day!!!

    Wrong arrangement. First florist cancelled the order, without letting me know. They cancelled, and you never let me know it was cancelled, till I called you, after I called you the day after the arrangement was supposedly was to be delivered. That order was cancelled. Then I went directly to your florist, in the near area, Flowers by June, and they said "no problem", for delivery and the certain floral arrangement that I wanted. Then, they called and said they couldn't deliver, so I drove 35 miles into Anchorage to pick it up.

    Then, when I asked them about the delivery charge, they said they would put more flowers. I picked up the flowers, and they had put the vase in a box for protection. When I saw the design, I asked that it was not the design I wanted, and they said it was pinks and blues, but it wasn't until I got home that I noticed that it wasn't even the vase, that was in Love and Joy Bouquet Design, that I liked the most about the design. I really liked the vase with the hummingbird flying next to the flower. Enclosed is a picture of the floral arrangement they gave me and the receipt. Also, the order number of the cancelled original order. I used you guys because of the Alaska Airlines/Bank of America mileage, which I lost out anyway.

I am posting both pictures and you can see for yourself. Customer service is a JOKE. I waited on hold forever and finally talked to someone. I explained my situation and her reply was, "Did you receive the order?" "Um, I just told you how horrible they are."

    Do they only have 1 script to follow and that's it? All she told me was that I could sent pics to customer service if I wanted for their review. Offered me nothing else. I asked for flowers to be resent from a different Teleflora florist and that fell on deaf ears. Finally I requested a refund. Only after multiple emails, did a person by the name of David ** (not even a full name) offer me a 30% refund that would take 10-12 days as well as a 40% one-time coupon for future orders. As if I would ever order again. I now disputed this with my credit card because it is just ridiculous and I am tired of dealing with these people.

I purchased the Teleflora's Polka Dots and Posies (a beautiful arrangement of white daises and pink roses that was placed in a small clear pink glass vase) and had them add in the rush order for an added price so they would be delivered to my mother's office before 1 pm. Not only were the flowers delivered AFTER 2 PM, they were also the wrong arrangement.

    What my mother received was the "Thank you Mom (a mixture of flowers in a tall purple vase)" from Royer's; a completely different and cheaper arrangement than what I ordered. Also, the vase the Royer's flowers came in was not smooth but rough in texture. It felt like floral foam actually. When I called Teleflora to complain about the order, I was put on hold for 53 minutes before anyone picked up the other line. First I told them that the flowers I ordered were not the ones delivered and were not delivered on time. They told me that they would refund the difference in price for the arrangements and refund the rushed order charge.

    I asked them could I get the flowers I actually ordered and they told me they would pick up the flowers my mother got and it would be a "possibility" that I could get the flowers I ordered, meaning that unless they found florist with the time and flowers, my mother wouldn't get squat. At this point I was furious. I told them no, the flowers they delivered would stay where they are (on my mother's desk) and they would send me what I ordered and paid for. That was out of the question for them. I told them "Fine, I will take my refund and tell everyone I know NOT to use Teleflora for their flower ordering needs."

The Be Happy bouquet was supposed to have bright yellow flowers in a smiley face vase. The flowers received were mostly all white, drab, dull and lifeless in a clear, small vase. This is not a bouquet that would cheer someone up after receiving bad news.

    I do realize that on the site it says you may not receive the exact bouquet due to availability. The bouquet received was not even remotely like what I ordered, they didn't even try to do something similar! They could have put other colorful flowers in the bouquet instead of doing it plain white. I am so extremely disappointed. No one ever contacted me to let me know that they weren't able to give the bouquet I ordered. If they had maybe I could have given them other suggestions because whatever florist sent those flowers has no idea what a happy, colorful bouquet should look like.

    Also, I ordered a "premium" bouquet and there was NOTHING premium about these flowers. I really wish I had read reviews before I had ordered the flowers. I would not order from Teleflora again. Instead next time I need flowers I'll try to get to my local florist so I can see EXACTLY what I am getting for the money I am paying. The only reason I gave one star is because I had to in order to write this review.

    Flower services are supposed to be all about the experience! They completely dropped the ball on the delivery of flowers that I purchased for someone's birthday. When I placed the order, I specifically said the recipient's name 3 times over and spelled it out for them and they misspelled it on the card. In addition, they misspelled the word "FUN" and wrote "FUNK" and misspelled "Truly" and wrote "THRULY." Even after saying these words in full and complete sentences. You would think the level of common sense a person has to have to get this right wouldn't be so bad. I ordered a Balloon on top of that and it wasn't delivered.

    TO TOP IT ALL OFF, when I called Teleflora to ask what the status of the delivery was, THEY CALLED THE PERSON I'M SURPRISING AT WORK AND ASKED THEM IF THEY GOT THE FLOWERS, BEFORE THEY WERE DELIVERED. ARE YOU SERIOUS???!! They have one job, and it's unbelievable to me how many things they can get wrong on a single and simple flower delivery. Then, I asked to be refunded, and they would only refund me 50%, even though the entire experience from beginning to end was ruined, including the surprise (which is the main reason to send flowers in the first place).

    This company has HORRIBLE customer service and I hope they lose from their mistakes. Had they just refunded me for dropping the ball I would have forgiven them for the mistakes. I'm handling the dispute now with my cc company. Don't order from them if you want it to be correct. In the pictures posted below you can see the typos, and no birthday balloon with the delivery, and the text message she wrote me letting me know that the flower company just called her.

    I am horrified by the treatment I received from this florist, Airport Flowers El Paso via Teleflora. "Lucia," (she refused to give me her last name) a woman claiming to be the owner of Airport Flowers called to yell, berate and threaten me because I was not satisfied with the arrangement I received. I ordered through Teleflora. I used to LOVE Teleflora, always got rave reviews from family and friends!

    However, when the arrangement arrived it was pretty disappointing, not disgusting, but definitely not the quality I have come to expect using Teleflora. The flowers were dark and withered, the design and color did not correspond with the image of the arrangement I had ordered. (I upgraded, twice.) I acknowledge that the design may vary based on the availability of the flowers, but the quality of the flowers was also quite poor. I called Teleflora to ask about my options. I chose to receive a partial refund as I would not be home to wait for Airport Flowers to pick up the arrangement. I was not completely satisfied with this option, but felt I was stuck with the mediocre flowers.

    Approximately thirty minutes later "Lucia" called my phone and insisted that I return the arrangement so that she could fight for a refund from Teleflora. I hope that this is not a customary procedure. When I explained my situation and informed "Lucia" that I had already arranged to receive a partial refund from Teleflora she became irate, began to yell at me and finally threatened to fight for a refund from Teleflora and fight me to ensure that I would not receive my partial refund. Teleflora offered me a 25% off coupon, but sadly, I doubt I will ever use this service again. Although I did not choose this florist, I strongly urge others to avoid conducting business with such a highly unprofessional company.

    I ordered flowers for my daughter who had a late miscarriage in Oct. I wanted the flowers delivered on the date the baby was due. This was so important that she knew I was thinking of her on that day. The flowers arrived 2 days earlier. I was livid! The arrangement also was not as pictured. The picture showed a large full bouquet in a round glass vase, she got a small arrangement in a small cylinder vase! I called customer service and really let them have it! Their first suggestion was to go back and take the flowers back from my grieving 19-year-old daughter and redeliver them on the correct date! Are you kidding?!? Insensitive at the least. After insisting on speaking with a supervisor, I was eventually compensated 70% but very upset at this huge mistake. Date of delivery is HUGE for flower delivery! Imagine being late for a funeral or missing an anniversary! And false advertising should shut them down alone! Never again will I use them.

    I was extremely dissatisfied because I was literally on the phone for an hour, simply ordering a funeral arrangement. The time of transaction involved poor communication skills, inaccuracies and lack of knowledge about their system. Initially the employee entered letters incorrectly several times, even after I provided an example for each and every letter. Then, the same employee and her supervisor were unable to explain if the "confirmation email" they were sending would include the amount charged, the amount paid and the method of payment used, in order for it to suffice as a receipt for business reimbursement purposes. They honestly didn't know, plus the email never went through during our long conversation because the employee had the email address incorrect!

    Then, when it was corrected, they said they weren't able to resend the confirmation email because it had already been sent! What?! Isn't it illegal to not provide a receipt? I was told they would have their "email department" try to send another email (which still wouldn't necessarily have the basic receipt information on it) but it would take several days. I honestly still don't understand that. It was extremely frustrating. So, due to problems with communication, accuracy and system training, I still have no receipt showing total charge, total paid, payment method and a balance of $0.00, and I'm out $133.00. There are other flower companies out there, so I suggest using any of the others instead.

    I ordered a funeral arrangement on April 5th. I had said I wanted it delivered on the 7th for the viewing. Instead it was delivered the same day when I had ordered it. I also thought I was getting a good deal on the price and when I checked my bank account they charged me more than what I had expected so my tenant insurance bounced. So now I have to pay my bank a 45 dollar NSF fee plus 30 dollars to my insurance company for another NSF fee. So an arrangement that I thought cost less than a 100 now has cost me 200. Apparently they charge a USA fee that I clearly wasn't aware of nor was it in the price checkout when I paid for it on my visa debit card. Not a happy person my first and last time ordering from them and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!

    I ordered a dozen deep purple tulips in a clear vase with a purple bow for my adult son after his surgery, because he likes the Vikings. He got a vase with large yellow flowers, red flowers, and blue flowers in a clear vase with a red bow. How does that translate in "something similar if the request is not available?" I was so disappointed and mad. I wanted the flowers to have meaning to him. I paid $55 for that (including a balloon, which they actually got right). The website said "satisfaction guaranteed". Yeah, right. The way they would fix it is to go pick up the flowers and credit me. Like I would want his gift picked up. So they have you over a barrel.

    She said they e-mailed me to tell me that they did not have what I requested. Who sits in front of their computer all day? They had my cell number. When I got home, the only e-mail I had was to say the flowers were delivered. So she did not even tell the truth about that. There is no satisfaction guaranteed. I will never use that sorry company again.

    UPDATED ON 04/13/2016: I previously wrote a negative review on Teleflora. I have to take back a lot of it. True, I did not like the color arrangement of the flowers which did not match what I ordered, and it looked cheap. However, after searching through the MANY e-mail advertisements that I got today, I did find the e-mail that they sent telling me that they did not have the arrangement that I ordered. Also I found a voicemail on my phone where they did try to contact me by phone. I had my phone in my purse because I work at a school and don't use it during the day. So I apologize for accusing them of not trying to contact me. I just with they had either stayed with the type of flowers I ordered (tulips) or the color arrangement - purple. That would have been a better choice than sunflowers and small red and blue bushy flowers and a big red bow.

    I ordered a bright colorful arrangement for a friend who was feeling down and wanted to "brighten" her day with some COLORFUL flowers. When the flowers were delivered, they were white. I called CS service and explained why I specifically ordered COLORFUL flowers and that no one called me to discuss the change in order. First the CS rep offered me a 40% discount on my next order - after stating that the end result of what is delivered is up to the florist. (Don't need your discount as if that is the case, I won't be ordering from you again.) Then, he put me on a very long hold only to come back on the line to inform me they would send someone out to take back the flowers that were delivered! Under no uncertain terms would I want them to take the flowers back as the whole purpose was to "brighten" someone's day!

    When I ordered the flowers, my phone number was included. Never did Teleflora nor the florist call me to discuss the change in the arrangement. That was my complaint to CS - not requesting a discount, refund etc etc. Why have different selections on your site if the end result is "Up to the florist". Personally, I would consider this the classic "bait and switch". Due to the conversation with CS, where they truly could have cared less about my concerns, inform me that regardless of what you order - in the end the florist can do whatever they wish - and the lame "we will go back and take the flowers" means of "Satisfying" me -- I will NEVER order from this company again. I've read the reviews and one would think that with many competitors, Teleflora would want to make their customers satisfied!!

    I ordered flowers for my mother, to be delivered on Easter Sunday. Teleflora said the flowers would be there by the end of the day. As the day progressed, I called customer service twice to check on my delivery. Both times, I was assured that Teleflora would contact the local florist to make sure the arrangement was delivered promptly. Needless to say, the flowers did not show up that day.

    I received an email the following morning at 7:55am explaining that the flowers had not been delivered. Teleflora asked if I'd like to reschedule delivery. No apology, no mention that they had missed their promised timeline for delivery AND they wanted me to take additional steps to reschedule. I called customer service and explained the situation, and once again, was asked if I'd like to reschedule a delivery as if nothing had happened! I told the representative that I had not gotten what I paid for delivery on a specific day. They paused, then told me "Well, we can give you 50% off on a future order". I found this unacceptable, and told them to forget the flowers, that I'd like a refund. The rep then told me they'd give me 20% off and they'd deliver them sometime in the next day.

    Absolutely not. Teleflora, you misled me. You told me you'd get the flowers delivered as ordered, missed your timeline without notifying me, made me take additional steps to rectify the problem, and then attempted to charge me full price! Awful product, awful IT structure, awful service, and awful attempt to fix the problem.

    I ordered flowers for my mother's birthday as I do every year. The flowers that were delivered were nothing of what I ordered. There were less than half the amount of flowers in the arrangement. The flowers were very poor quality, the vase was dirty, not the correct color and the bow was not on the vase (which by the was the main reason I ordered this particular arrangement). After she sent me the picture I called Teleflora and asked for a refund. I waited on hold for over an hour for a supervisor, at which point I hung up, called back and waited another 45 minutes until someone picked up.

    After speaking to this person, I was told that they would only refund 70% of my $45.00 order and if I wanted a full refund they would have to go back to pick the flowers up. So basically, they wanted to now take my mother's gift away on her birthday??? I will not allow my mother to be even more disappointed on her birthday, so I went ahead agreed to the 70% refund and was told I would receive a confirmation email. When I received the email, it gave me a discount code for my next order??? NO REFUND??? I called AGAIN, was left on hold another 40 minutes and ultimately hung up and called my bank to dispute the charge. They can keep their "discount code" because I will NEVER order flowers from this company again!!! Horrible experience!!!

    While the colors were not exactly matched, that somehow enhanced the eye appeal of the arrangement. The order was on time and exactly as expected. The colors and smells were vibrant, and the recipient was very pleased. I have no complaints about this order. I would suggest that the person ordering take a second look at the final product BEFORE giving the final OK to send the arrangement. The deal breaker for me would be the arrangement not arriving on time, and most importantly dried out or dead flowers in the arrangement. My arrangement was sent as a thank-you gift. The order was placed online which made me a little nervous about the purchase. However the ease of ordering and the final results were exceptional.

    Fresh and beautiful. Nothing bothered me; the arrangement was lovely and enjoyed by the recipient. Would definitely order from them again. Have tried other companies who charged more and gave less. I have tried two or three companies and find I go with those who offer me good deals along with a quality product. Dead or drooping flowers; substitutions that didn't look like what I ordered... I have had this experience from other companies, and it wasn't pleasant. I like the sales bargains at Teleflora, the quality of the bouquets, timeliness of delivery, and longevity of the arrangements. There is enough price variety for each occasion to make it affordable.

    The arrangement last for a few weeks after the delivery and a few flowers last even longer. Positive issues with order: The choices of different floral arrangements and pricing. Negative: the pricing for certain arrangements. Online order placed in February: the delivery note section needs to have additional space (more characters so I can type specific instructions). These are a few of my favorite things regarding ordering with Teleflora ONLINE: Ease of use online to order, good quality flowers, prompt delivery, great selection of choices of arrangements.

    Arrangement looked "thrown" together. It has lasted over a week and is still in good condition. Color scheme was pretty. Not enough greens to cover the exposed stems of flowers visible above vase top. Local florist fulfilling the order changed the delivery date delaying it for a week without reason or request by sender. When I called to check on the arrangement and I informed the florist that the arrangement had been ordered for delivery that day, he said he could put one together now and deliver it, hence my feeling it had been thrown together. I have learned that if you order flowers for a specific reason, i.e. birthday, the prices tend to be higher than if you just select an all occasion arrangement which offers you a wider variety of arrangement options than arrangements for a specific occasion.

Pictures are below. I spent $75.00 on the basket and what she received maybe cost them $10.00. I tried calling customer service, but they were closed after 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday when the flowers were delivered. I emailed them and haven't heard back. I instant messaged them on Facebook and haven't received a reply. I called the flower shop and they said they were only given an order that said "mixed bouquet".

    Why? If you see a picture on the internet and order that item that has an item number then why is it that the flower shop doesn't have a Teleflora book with that picture or receive an order that says "spring has spring mixed basket". I realize I am ordering flowers in the state of Georgia and I didn't think that would make any difference, but get it together Teleflora! Thanks for nothing! I want a full refund and I hope that you do not take money from the flower shop because what you sent them was incorrect. Now I know to order flowers from a flower shop directly to get the best service possible. Lesson learned... My money will go a lot further as well since the flower shop told me that they did not receive the full amount I paid so that is what they have to work with since Teleflora keeps a large portion.
