On November 19, 2017 I ordered a Thanksgiving centerpiece for my family in California to be delivered on November 22nd. This order was placed using my Woman Within Catalog credit card utilizing their special arrangement with Teleflora. The flowers weren't delivered until 7:30 pm on the 22nd and when I received a photo of the centerpiece from my son, it was obvious it wasn't the $54.95 deluxe version I ordered. It was supposed to have two candles, it had one, and the centerpiece looked more like the standard 44.95 version (based on the Teleflora website photos). My total order was $74.94. I called customer service, explained my dissatisfaction and she offered me a 50% discount on a future order.
Since I planned to order Christmas flowers, I thought that would be a good deal. The rep said she would email me instructions on how to use the discount. I waited 45 minutes and no email arrived. I called customer service again, gave the rep who answered the name of the previous rep and explained what happened. She put me on hold for quite some time then informed me a discount couldn't be offered because I used an online catalog credit card and not a "regular" card. She said the flowers would be picked up the next business day. My response was WHAT?
She said the first rep I spoke to had cancelled the order and they had to take the flowers back. I explained I hadn't cancelled the order and they better not snatch the flowers from my son. At that point, I was very upset and let her know it. She said she would contact the florist and tell them not to remove the flowers and she would issue a credit. At this point, I have no confidence at all that their promise will be kept. I'm not telling my family any of this because I don't want them thinking their centerpiece will disappear the next day. DO NOT order through Teleflora. Go directly through a florist, as I plan to do in the future.

I ordered as a get well gift a deluxe arrangement that was to have two colors of roses, several lilies, shrub roses, eucalyptus, alstroemeria, dusty miller. I received something with roses, a lily or two, some cattails, some berries, and several clumps of ugly, mustard filler plants that completely overwhelmed the arrangement. I know from experience that Teleflora's response will be to go to my friend's house and retrieve the arrangement. Who wants that when they have given a gift? This is not the first time I have been seriously disappointed. When Teleflora florists do not have the appropriate stock on hand, they are supposed to get in touch with the purchaser and offer something else, subject to the buyer's approval. This almost never happens - they just deliver junk. Will be disputing with my credit card company and reviewing all over the internet. Enough is enough.

Terrible first experience with this company. Broken communication chain between Teleflora and the local businesses they work with, resulting in misleading order updates. Ordered flowers for my sister’s birthday, received a delivery confirmation at 6 pm, mentioned it to my sister and lo and behold, she hadn’t received anything. Called the following morning to check in and again, the message was that they had delivered on the order, but my sister still had not received. Timeliness is literally 80% of the whole idea of sending flowers! I got a small partial refund but do think the order was a failure. A lack of integrity on the local florist’s part for by being transparent and honest about the status of the order but also something Teleflora needs to govern better. I would stay away if you’re needing perfect, timely execution.

By far, the absolute worst customer service department I have ever dealt with. Ordered a sympathy bouquet which was to be sent to the recipient on the anniversary of her mother's death. On the day it was to be delivered, I received an e-mail confirmation that the bouquet was "hand delivered". Except it never was. Upon speaking with the recipient, she told me she never received anything whatsoever. When I contacted customer service the representative told me that so-called hand delivered confirmation was in fact automated and does not necessarily state the order was delivered. Upon expressing my discontent the representative assured me the bouquet would be delivered that day before 8 pm local time, except once again it was not delivered.
Spoke to the customer service department two more times and nothing was done to rectify the situation. Two days later the bouquet is received and it looks NOTHING like the order I placed. Instead of the full, large bouquet I ordered, my recipient received a rather embarrassing and pathetic looking arrangement. The two aren't even comparable. Upon calling the customer service department once again, I was kept on hold for forever and was offered a mere 25% off coupon for my next order. This company is absolutely a horror and disgrace. I will never ever purchase a single item from them again and urge others to save yourself the headache and make your flower order elsewhere.

I️ ordered online. A wonderfully tasteful arrangement for my mother in law's memorial service. What came was a anemic second cousin to the flowers that should have come. They even began to wilt over a matter of a couple of hours. I️ was unable to use them. Had to run out the morning off and find a florist that was able to help. I️ will NEVER order from them again!

Teleflora was horrible to work with. The whole transaction was a mess of nondelivery for a special occasion, then told the arrangement was not available, then that a nice arrangement would be sent and the florist would call me before delivery with a picture so I could approve. The florist did not receive that message. The arrangement was not comparable to what I had first ordered. I was awarded a 75% refund but it was not posted to my account. I requested a full refund for the disappointment and bad faith promises, but heard nothing until I said I would escalate with PayPal. Full refund, no apology, will not work with Teleflora again. Florist said they are very hard to deal with, charge extra, which they keep, and don't pay promptly. I would give 0 stars if I could. VERY disappointing, VERY poor customer service. Florist advised calling a local store instead of using Teleflora.

3 times I got my order in waaay before the time frame for same day delivery and all 3 times they did not do it! The discount codes they sent me in their apologies did not work either! I actually called them after I placed the order and they told me everything was perfect and they would give me an email confirmation and then no more than 30 seconds later they send me an email saying they can’t do it on date requested pick another date! Now as I sit here typing this I’ve been on hold for 10 min trying to get a supervisor on the phone.
Now I just spoke with a supervisor and he said all the flower shops have made their deliveries today already. It is 12 pm my time!!! I placed order at 8 am my time! I was then placed on hold again. I looked up flower shops in the area to get delivery directly, sent a message to them about delivery, and they said, “No problem!”. I just informed the supervisor and he said "oh let me call the florist and make sure one moment sir." Update, after being told no florist could do it. I told him I had just ordered from a florist in that area that will have it there by 5 pm and I want full refund. I wish I could give less stars!

I ordered flowers for my daughter's birthday to be delivered on that day. I received a confirmation number when I submitted my payment but never received a confirmation email. I called the delivery day to make sure all was set. The first rep said he could not find an order. I said it was confirmed. He was absolutely no help! After waiting forever on hold several times, I got a great rep who confirmed that yes there was an order but could they switch out a certain pumpkin for another. I said sure and she assured me that it would be delivered by 2pm.
I did not hear from my daughter and around 3pm received a phone message that there was a problem and to call a number. I called it and gave my order number and was told they had no such order!! I called Teleflora yet again...placed on crazy hold...yet again and finally got a horrendously unprofessional rep who basically said, "Too bad your flowers will not be delivered!" I asked for a supervisor...on hold again forever until I hung up and called back.
I finally got a supervisor who looked into it and said they had messed up. One person had told the sending florist to cancel the order. The supervisor tried to call the florist back, but by then, they were closed and it was too late for me to order elsewhere. I realize with all the trouble in the world today that this may seem inconsequential, but sending flowers should be a happy occasion, not a stressful mess!! My daughter had a rough year with ER hospital stays and I wanted to bring a smile to her face for her birthday. I will never use this company again!!

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible! First of all I ordered the zen artistry plant. When they delivered it, my mom wasn't home so they just left it on her stoop instead of trying again later. Irma was suppose to rain. Besides that what I thought I ordered because of what was shown and what was delivered were incomparable. Not even was the plant pot even close. Very disappointed I will never order from here again and I am disputing the charge.

I ordered a deluxe bouquet on Thursday morning for Friday delivery. The arrangement was for my best friend and romantic partner, who was leaving the country on Saturday. Without any notification or explanation, the flower arrangement was never delivered. I emailed to inquire about what happened, and the only response I got was that they were refunding the charge back to my account. There was no explanation as to what had happened and why the order was never honored. I was counting on Teleflora to help give my dearest a memorable send off. Needless to say, I was very upset that this company couldn't even carry out a simple function like fulfilling the order.
There was nothing particularly difficult about my order, it was their standard, ready to order deluxe bouquet with no other special requests attached. I would very much have liked for her to have seen them before she'd left for her country. I had read the reviews online, but I always view complaints with a fair bit of skepticism, since I believe people are ten times more likely to complain when upset than a satisfied customer is to post a positive review. But this experience has left me raw, and I know now that you cannot rely on this company to do what they say they'll do.

I ordered flowers to be used at a memorial service for a friend who passed. I received a confirmation email that they were delivered. They were not delivered. After calling and complaining they were delivered the next day (too late to be apart of the service) which was highly distressing. When I called they had no answers and offered me a 50% coupon for my next delivery. After explaining that I will never use this company again I was offered 30% refund.
When the flowers were actually delivered it looked NOTHING like the deluxe flowers that were chosen online. The vase was not the same either. Not only were the flowers different but the colors were different (which were specifically chosen for the color scheme of the memorial service). The arrangement was such a poor excuse for the actual flowers that were chosen to be delivered. This is the worst service and worst customer service, not only was I inconvenienced but then I had to wait on hold for the manager for a long time and had to basically demand something more be done. I don't even feel that 30% off was enough (I spent about $80 and was given back $25). Flowers didn't make it to event and were arranged Horrible, I could have done a better job myself and I'm not a florist.

First of all, I ordered an arrangement for my friend in hospice on a Saturday morning, before the deadline for delivery that day. Later that afternoon, I received a phone call, telling me flower shops were closed or busy with funerals and couldn't get my arrangement done til Monday. I called Monday morning asking for expedited delivery, as my friend was failing. An arrangement was delivered by 1:00 Monday, but the "deluxe" I had ordered was pathetic. It was a tiny vase, with sparsely arranged flowers, the ribbon was not the "Polka dot" one shown in the "polka dot posies" arrangement pictured, and it looked like a very cheap arrangement - not at all like the $49.95 (plus fees and taxes for a total of $67.93) one pictured on the website. Teleflora either misrepresented this bouquet, or the florist did a horrible job. Very disappointing. I plan to never again order from Teleflora.

Placed an order with Teleflora two days prior to a close friend's funeral on 10/7/2017, Teleflora promised delivery. Teleflora dropped the ball. No delivery, very upsetting to the family, made a bad day worse, they managed to take the money from my account within minutes of the order. After the funeral and another confirmation of non delivery, called Teleflora at 4 pm, a representative stated they needed to confirm non delivery from a third party... We stated we bought the flowers from Teleflora not a local florist (turns out this was a big mistake never again with Teleflora). Rep stated they called the third party vendor and they were closed?? At 4 pm, turns out they open at 10 am so a 6 hour workday??
Somebody lied to us... Following day two phone calls same story, had to confirm non delivery by third party, again I explained I did not purchase from a third party and was not happy to learn Teleflora also advised even after they confirm non delivery it could take up to 10 days for my refund. It has been three days now and no one from Teleflora has issued even an "I'm sorry" to us. They are without a doubt an unscrupulous predatory business. Do yourself a favor. DO NOT use them, it will end in frustration... I am left wondering how many times they do not deliver and still get paid especially from people sending flowers from out of town, or from people who cannot attend!!

I paid extra to have a "Deluxe" arrangement delivered to my daughter for her 40th birthday with a mylar balloon. The arrangement presented on the website had a beautiful blue vase (my daughter's favorite color). The arrangement delivered had an awful blue paper inside a clear vase and what was delivered had far fewer flowers. It was less attractive than the minimum standard arrangement and there was no balloon. I will never order from them again. Thanks, Teleflora, for spoiling something special!!!

I ordered flowers from my address in Victoria, BC to be delivered to my daughter in Calgary, Alberta. The Teleflora online Ad reads "Teleflora (Registered) Canada Flowers. The online receipt was in Canadian Dollars but on Credit Card Bill was in USD and an extra $15 charged to my account. I contacted Teleflora and I was told it was because of the exchange rate. I advised Teleflora twice of the details of the purchase i.e. the Ad showed Canadian and the transactions were all in Canada but they did not reply to either email. I believe Teleflora are advertising fraudulently within Canada and would advise future customers to be wary of this business.

Ordered a cute antique Ford pickup/floral arrangement several days before recipient's birthday. The day before delivery, I was emailed & told the pickup truck was not available (see other reviews about the elusive undeliverable pickup truck). The link for an alternate selection showed me nothing. Simply said something festive & appropriate would be sent. OK. Day of delivery I was emailed & told the arrangement was hand-delivered. Not according to the recipient, who I have been in touch with twice.
Emails & phone calls to Teleflora finally determined that the item was not delivered because no one could sign for it & recipient's phone message box was full. I was never told the arrangement needed to be signed for. If I knew this, I would have sent it to her work address. Through much additional follow-up, the arrangement has supposedly now been delivered a day late sans signature. It is now on the recipient's porch. I still need to verify this with the recipient, but I have never had this much hassle with the purchase of a floral arrangement. I also have no idea what this troublesome arrangement looks like.

On September 14 I ordered the arrangement, Zen Artistry, Deluxe. I am appalled at what the recipient received. I understand substitution, but given 5 days advance on this order, it could have been done correctly. I sent this to my niece, who has terminal cancer. What she received looks like a damn funeral arrangement rather than an exotic arrangement meant to induce peaceful feelings. I can't even call her because I'm so mortified. I will not order from Teleflora again. You need to contact whatever local florist did this, and make them understand when given as much notice as was given, they need to step up their game, and understand there are actual people on the other side of that order. I've attached photos of what I ordered and what she received.

I order flowers for my Dad since he had a heart attack. Got a call the day they were to be delivered saying the Ford Pickup vase wasn't available. Call back and select another one. I call back, go thru the process of selecting another one, The Bee Well with a cute bee in a nurses uniform. The CSR's broken English didn't really understand that I wanted the exact same floral arrangement just replace the Ford pick up with the Bee. Well, she said she'd try to do so.
We hang up and 10 minutes later I get a call back telling me that's not available either. WTF?! Are you ** me right now?!? I asked the CSR why the hell they don't put that on their website that these things aren't available. She was very sweet and apologetic. She was also sympathetic. I asked for my full refund and got a note indicating it went thru. But come on... how does this company operate if their materials on the website isn't even available? Worst experience ever!

This was my first time using Teleflora. I noticed their unique bouquets and they caught my eye. A family member was just getting home after being very ill in the hospital. After finding the perfect one, the 'Pleasing Purple Bouquet' shades of purple various flowers with white Lilies, in a purple vase. I opted for the middle/deluxe version and used a 20% off coupon. My order was around $74, I saved $11 and paid around $63. After seeing the bouquet that was sent, I was incredibly upset and could not believe it cost me as much as it did. It looked nothing like the picture. There were so few flowers, that it barely covered the rim of the small, square vase. They substituted the flowers with pink and white filler flowers. There were only 2 Lilies. The foam that the flowers were stuck into, was clearly visible. The 'purple vase' was a clear vase that they put purple paper inside of. And the flowers were already wilting.
After contacting customer service, I received a cookie cutter response and was told they would send me a 25% refund. I told them I read over their website and it was full of 'guarantees and promises' and I wanted a full refund. They then proceeded to tell me for a full refund, they needed to pick up the bouquet within 48 hours. Of course no one is going to have a bouquet taken away from someone, so their 'refund policy' is a complete scam, so they don't have to give unhappy customers their money back. There was no concern, or empathy or compassion on their end. They couldn't care less. Nowhere on their site have I found any recording of this 'refund policy', only a guarantee.
I am absolutely disgusted by them and will NEVER use them again. I only wish I found these reviews beforehand, with the same complaints as mine. It seems most of the bouquets have cheap filler daisies in them and not the actual flowers that are in the pictures. This company is dealing with people who are celebrating, mourning or sick and it's horrific that they can get away with this. I have ordered from another flower company whose flowers died right away and they continued to apologize and gave me a full refund. Their flowers have always been excellent other than that one experience. I should have stuck with them. This company should be ashamed.

I order my boyfriend a $90+ value flower and he received something NOT EVEN WORTH $20. The arrangement was very poor and the flowers were empty. There was nothing special about the flower and when I email them about it they ignored me, which I emailed them about 5-8 times. AND when I bought the flowers they also lied to me that their car was broken because they didn't want to deliver my flower.

Flowers that were ordered a good number of days earlier were not delivered until very late in the afternoon and after an email to the company inquiring about why they had not been delivered. The Florist selected by Teleflora has a terrible reputation for bad service and product. Of course, the consumer has no idea what Florist will be used by Teleflora. One would think they would take some time to check the reviews of their customers.
The bouquet that was delivered was a skimpy version of the advertised item. The flowers from a supermarket Florist would have been more appealing. Teleflora says in their ad that they will provide something equal in value if the item ordered is unavailable. Not true. After my complaint, I was offered a 50% refund. To date I have received a 20% refund. Not only are they poor at selecting representatives for their company, they also have difficulty with math. It is a shame that something that was supposed to give pleasure to my good friend was so blatantly of no concern to this company. Shame on them!

I was to have flowers delivered to my Mom. She is 84. The delivery person just left them at the doorstep and did not knock or ring the bell. She found them 2 days later all dead and no water. She sent me a picture of them and the card that came with them. The card looked like a 5-year-old wrote it and the picture was dreadful. The ribbon around the vase was like pink yarn! Very embarrassing and degrading way to show my love for Mom on Mother's Day. All the florist will say is they delivered them... Please don't trust Teleflora with your business. What's the point of them asking for her phone #?

I ordered a standing spray for a funeral 3 days in advance and it was NEVER DELIVERED. It was an international order so I had to place it over the phone. I was told that I could choose the kind of flowers I want, I told them that I didn't really care just something of red or white color (not a complicated order). I received an email with the order confirmation and the payment went through. I decided to call them the day of the funeral to get a status update on my order only to find out that the flower shop that was supposed to fulfill my order couldn't do so. And nobody even bothered to inform me of that. The service was already over when I found out. Horrible experience. I wish I read the reviews prior to placing an order.

I ordered a flower arrangement to be delivered to my mom for Mother's Day. The Teleflora website had a photo and detailed description of the arrangement I ordered. Something completely different was delivered. I emailed them over and over again. First I asked for the correct order to be delivered and they had the audacity to respond by saying I could have a discount on my next order! Numerous other emails were ignored then they refused to send the correct order. Now they are trying to give me just some of my money back. My mind is blown by how awful they treat their customers and would never recommend anyone have to deal with a company like this!

I ordered a "flower cake" 6 days early to be delivered to my mother in a nursing home for her 98th birthday. I traveled to be with her, and no flowers were delivered on her birthday or the 3 following days. Teleflora sent me an email saying my item was "no longer available" & so they were delivering a substitute. They did not deliver anything. I replied to their email, saying it was now too late and I did not want anything from them, and not to charge my credit card.
Four days later, Teleflora telephoned me, still wanting me to order a substitute with a note of apology. I said it was already far too late - also my mother is too blind to read their note. The Teleflora rep kept persisting to get me to order something now or in the future with a 15% discount. I have never had such poor service. Any respectable company would at least have provided free flowers after such poor service. I will never order from Teleflora again. It is false advertising to show an item as available, complete confirmation 6 days early, and then on the delivery date to send an email saying the item is not available.

I ordered Mother's Day flowers two days prior & the earliest I could get them delivered was a week after... Not happy about that, but moving on. My card was charged the following day, but the day the flowers were meant to deliver, I get an email saying that the arrangement I ordered was not available for delivery in that area. Now I'm irritated because that should have been communicated the day I tried to order it! Or, at least a few days afterwards, not THE DAY it's supposed to deliver!
I called the number in the email & the woman I spoke with was very understanding & agreeable; but I suppose you'll say anything to get an upset customer off the phone because when the flowers finally arrived, it was obvious that she didn't listen to a word I said. We agreed on a large amount of daisies (mama's favorite flower) to be added to the arrangement which was available & it would deliver same day - 5/20. Later that day, I get another email saying that the 5/20 delivery is now unavailable & to choose a new date... Fine (she said through gritted teeth) delivery on 5/22.
The flowers finally reach my mother on 5/23, no daisies in sight, with a card signed Monica... My name is not Monica. Thankfully, the correct name was on the paper that arrived with the flowers or she would have been very confused because she doesn't know a Monica. My name was misspelled, which I don't understand because I TYPED IT OUT FOR YOU! And the arrangement was unattractive & thoughtless; nothing that I would have picked for her in a million years.

On May 5, 2017, I ordered a large bouquet of flowers (at a cost of $106.00) for my mother to be delivered to a Nursing Home in Slidell, Louisiana on the day BEFORE Mother's Day (May 13th.). On May 13th, I received an email from Teleflora stating that the address "Was Not Complete." This prompted me to recheck my ordering information. I thought that perhaps there was a major problem that was incorrect in the address because of how the email had been written. Upon reviewing the delivery address, I discovered that the numeric street address, the street name as well as the city and state were all correct.
The telephone number of the business was also on the order and it was correct also. The zip code may have been incorrect. This email was written as though the address did not contain vital information. I then called them and spoke briefly to a customer service representative. I thought that the matter had been resolved.
I then received another email the next day (Mother's Day) stating that they were unable to deliver the flowers on MOTHER'S DAY but, that they could deliver them on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I was appalled!! My mother is 88 years of age and is ill. Mother's Day, May 14, 2017 may be her last Mother's Day. I was so very hurt and disappointed!
Teleflora offered NO COMPENSATION nor did they apologize. I then told Teleflora that Monday, Tuesday nor Wednesday was Mother's Day! I told them that I did not want the flowers to be delivered AFTER Mother's Day!!! I demanded that they cancel the order. Then, I immediately called American Express and made a formal complaint against them. I am EXTREMELY disappointed with Teleflora and I will NEVER AGAIN order flowers from them!!!
I have also informed my family and friends of this situation and they too will not do business with Teleflora. If a fraction of a star was offered, TELEFLORA would get the smallest fraction. They are not worthy of receiving a whole star! Hopefully, this review will help others to be aware of TELEFLORA! As they attempted to place the blame totally on me! The email read as though I had not given them a "complete address." They offered NO APOLOGY and AGAIN NO COMPENSATION. I should have ordered from FTD!!

When I called bc it was mother's day and my mom had not received any flowers, I was told that there was a mother's day rush and that I would have to wait until next weekend. "NO WAY" I said. I paid an extra $22 for ahead of time delivery and it's already late. I want them delivered NOW! Well long story short not only were delivered very late that night, they were dead and totally not roses and daisies in a pink vase with a ribbon and a card like I ordered. They were wilted dead cheap flowers that anyone could have picked up from any field and thrown in a cheap glass vase from a family dollar store.
Now after 4 telephone calls of complaining and *itching, I was told that they can re-deliver for an extra delivery charge. Are you kidding me? I paid more than enough for dead cheap flowers, $22 extra for a same day delivery that was 2.5 days late and now you want to charge me again? So now they want to offer a 30% in future purchase as a "reward" for my inconvenience... right, as if I will ever use them again.

HORRIBLE!!! Ordered flowers for same day. Received call and e-mail that arrangement was out of stock. Picked alternate. Not delivered on day ordered. Received call next day - second section out of stock. Have had 6 communications with customer service. They keep pushing: "florist choice" - we all know that means old flowers. What's the point of selecting an arrangement from a picture if the shops don't have the supplies to put the arrangement together. Asked for supervisor - on hold over 20 minutes. The CS agents read from a script and will not answer questions. Huge rip off.

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.

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."

Well dear, if you would have done it right the day before priority wouldn't have been necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

I placed an order with Teleflora on my mother in law's birthday, the flowers that I picked said same day delivery the order as long as order was placed before 3, I placed the order around 11:30 AM. My husband and I showed up to my inlaws for a birthday dinner, when I walked into the house I noticed a small flower arrangement on the table, I assumed that it was the one we sent, except it didn't look like the picture I saw on the website. I proceed to ask my mother in law if those were the flowers we sent her (my concern was that they had sent the wrong flowers) to our surprise she says, no Anthony (my father in law) got me those this morning.
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. They don't stand by their word... Oh, and did I mention that they said it would take up to 10 days for my money to be refunded! yea, tell me about it... I wanted to give them no stars but unfortunately it's required to submit the review, I give them -1 stars.

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.

I searched several online florists and went with Teleflora. Their site said the package could be delivered the next day without a problem. The next day came, and I kept waiting for my wife to react to the surprise flowers. Finally I get an email whose subject read "Teleflora Order ###," not "Problem with your order, contact us immediately!" I read it and find out they couldn't find a florist who had what I ordered. I emailed them instructions to find something similar and sent it quickly. No answer. I email again asking them to confirm they read my response. No answer. Finally, I called them. "Yeah, I called a florist, and they're gonna deliver something you didn't want, but not today, but tomorrow. It's too late (it was only 2:30 pm) for any more deliveries today. Is that okay?" No, that was not okay. I will never use Teleflora again, nor do I recommend anyone else ever use them. They ruined Int'l Women's Day for my wife. Completely unsat!

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.

This is by far the worst online company I've ever dealt with. I had a sympathy basket sent to a friend at her place of business. Correction, I **attempted** to have one sent to her. I provided explicit instructions. Since she works in a Government building, she needed to be called to come down to sign for it. And I gave two numbers where she could be reached. 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'm sorry I didn't do my research on this company before doing business with them. Because the reviews here are the worst I've ever seen.

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!

It is 9:18pm right now. I was on hold for over 50 minutes listening to the same crap music and message "we apologize for the delay... And you may have to wait more than 5 minutes to speak to a representative." Finally someone answered. I spent $198.94 on flowers for my wife on Valentine's Day and they were not delivered. 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.
I never got a call from the actual florist to let me know that my flowers would not be delivered. The customer service lady (who was actually sweet) could not get a hold of them. Shame on me for not researching Teleflora and the problems others have had in the past. There is absolutely nothing convenient, trustworthy, or beneficial about ordering flowers through Teleflora.

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.

I ordered the premium roses and instead they delivered something that wasn't even comparable to the standard version. It was a disgrace!!! I was better off going to the local market for the price I paid on V-day.
