I ordered the Upsy Daisy arrangement, a bright yellow vase with white and yellow daisies and a yellow ribbon to be delivered to my daughter to cheer her up because those are her favorite blooms. Instead, she received a dark red vase stuffed with mostly big dark green leaves and a few dark purple mum blossoms in the center. It is ugly, sad and mournful looking, and very disappointing. Customer Service is not responding.

I ordered the "Hugs and Kisses Bouquet w/ Red Roses" on January 31st to be delivered on Valentine's Day. I received an email from Teleflora stating this arrangement was no longer available on February 3rd. I was given an option to have a "holiday themed arrangement" sent in its place. We received a very small arrangement of purple carnations and other pink and purple flowers. It was arranged horribly, and frankly, I was embarrassed that it was delivered to my girlfriend. It had nothing to do with Valentine's Day nor was even close to what I ordered.
I contacted the customer service department and spoke to a representative who apologized and offered me a 40% discount on my next order. I informed him that there would NOT be a next order and after 25 minutes of discussion, the best he could do was refund me 30% of what I paid. We will see... This issue has taught me good lesson... Pick out your flowers in person, because what you see online is definitely not what you get... Scam!

I would give it no stars if I could. This is the single most unpleasant business interaction I have ever had the disgrace to participate in. I ordered the flowers in the website saying it would be 20 dollars. Then they sneakily added 20 dollars more due to *fees*. Afterwards the flowers arrived late and this is the worst part of all. 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. The flowers never arrived and I've spent the last 40 minutes on hold to see if this crappy company will refund my money.

I placed an order for my daughter who is in graduate school alone in a town 3 hours from my home with Teleflora. I placed the order the week before Valentine's Day and agreed to pay $18.99 for the flowers to deliver. They took my order and my money and I let my daughter know she would have a surprise on Valentine's Day. I checked my email today Monday 2/13 (the day before Valentine's Day) and had an email from Teleflora stating they did not offer that particular arrangement in her area so I chose from my choices to have the designer choose her arrangement. I then received an email stating they did not offer that in her area again.
So now the day before Valentine's Day I have NOTHING going to my daughter. 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. This was very important to me and now I just want to cry. Never again will I use Teleflora and I hope anyone reading this will not either. These companies have got to be stopped. Don't set yourself up for disappointment 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.

Placed an order on 01/30/17 for a sympathy flowers. Tuesday I got a call that flower color was not available. Told CSR that is ok to change color of flowers. Called Wednesday. They even did not know that was ok to change color of flowers, at least that was their excuse. Called Thursday flowers still not delivered. Could not tell me reason. Called Friday flowers still not delivered. This is the worst company that you could purchase from. They do not follow up with their customers, flowers do not get on time and they are ok with their system. When I asked the supervisor how their confirmation process is completed he could not even tell me. Big mistake. I should have gone to a local flower shop instead purchasing from them. Will never ever use their service.

On January 26th 2017 I ordered flowers to be delivered to my daughter for her Birthday. They took $62.58 off my card when I placed the order. About an hour or so later I received a phone call that they could not do the delivery on that day. They offered to deliver the next day I said "No cancel my order. I don't want flowers delivered a day late." She said ok and canceled the order.
Today February 1st I tried to find out where my money is. First call I made to Teleflora around 7:30 am she said she would send me an email showing my cancellation and that I needed to check with my cardholder. So I called my bank she said Teleflora had a hold on my money. So I looked at my email it said they would keep the money for my next order. So I called Teleflora again and told them I will never order from you again and it's not my fault you couldn't deliver the flowers so I want my money put back on my card, he said "We have to verify." I said "Verify what?" You didn't have any trouble taking my money so put it back on my card. Then I get a text saying they are having trouble finding my order so they needed more information. So I text back the order number and the reference number for the cancellation. Have heard nothing back and the $62 is not back on my card.

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.

At 8 am I placed an order for delivery. It was not a special holiday. At 5:37 pm I received a dicey confirmation by email. At 7:20 pm I checked with recipient and no delivery!! I called Customer Service and was placed on hold for about 10 minutes. The representative said the flowers were en route. The recipient is 76 yr old female who lives alone and doesn't answer the door after dark. I asked the rep to call me back in a few minutes while I phoned to verify delivery. It is 70 minutes later and no return call. Save yourself some frustration and do not use Teleflora.com. Twelve hour delivery is absurd.

I placed an order for a bereavement on Jan 15 for a delivery date of Jan 16. I ordered a "Blooming Garden Basket", chosen specifically for the bright colors and the option to be replanted outside. On Jan 23 I discovered the arrangement wasn't delivered. After many phone calls, they agreed to deliver the basket with an apology letter for the delay. It was finally delivered on Jan 26, but not at all what I ordered. I placed a complaint and the Teleflora representative was totally defensive, talked over me as I was explaining the reasoning behind my choice. I had the arrangement sent to a home. If I had it sent to the funeral, I would have never known it was not delivered. I wonder how many people have ordered without their product being delivered.

I placed an arrangement on the 1/11/17 to be delivered on my daughter's birthday 1/19/17. No email all day, not a phone call, nothing. I went to lunch, came back, called at 2:18 pm. The person I spoke with said "you should have received an email". I said "I didn't receive anything." So she said "ok the arrangement you ordered is not available. We can make one that would be similar." I said "yes that's fine." I waited an hour to call back to make sure the flowers were deliver prior to 4:30 like I had specified to find out that everyone they called said it passed the delivery time and refused the order.
Now correct me if I'm wrong. Shouldn't I have received a call back saying no they were not able to make the order by the early. Am like "what kind of Mickey Mouse company are you guys running here. YOU GUYS SUCK **!!!" When I called back you want to apologize and see if you can deliver another day. NO her birthday is today not tomorrow or next week. This is a special day. You guys sure know how to ruin it. If this was a funeral arrangement and the service was today would you wait to tell someone that the arrangement was not available. Hello and to deliver at a later date HOW INSENSITIVE OF YOU PEOPLE.

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.

I placed an order on 1/4/17 to be delivered on 1/5/17. Teleflora called me and said they can't have it delivered until 1/6/17. I agreed that would be ok. 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. They said they would research and call me back. After not hearing back, I called them on 1/7/17. I was told that they were looking for a florist to complete my order. 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 told them that was unacceptable, and asked to speak with a manager. I was put on hold for over 20 minutes until I gave up. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!

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 will be telling everyone I know to never ever use this company.

I placed my first order with this joke of a company earlier today LONG before the 3 pm cutoff for same day delivery according to their site. Several hours later, late in the day I get an email and a call that they can't find a florist in the city to do the arrangement and delivery. This was absolutely ridiculous considering I could have called about half a dozen local florists and had it done the same day had Teleflora notified me sooner.

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!!!

My order was delivered 4 days late and looked shabby. It took more emails than I can count and 2 phone calls to convince Teleflora my order was never delivered by the local florist. 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. For all this Teleflora is giving me a 40% discount off the bill. I am never using them again.

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?

Fast convenient, on time, large variety. Whenever I sent flowers, they take care of everything. I trust them so much. I let them do the flower arrangement, and it always looks great. When they are out of stock, they have good ideas and you can trust them. I pay later because I use my Fingerhut account.

Standard arrangement was $34.95 and supposedly measures 12" wide by 12" high. I paid an extra $30 for the Premium arrangement upgrade, which supposedly measures 16" wide by 17" high. (See photo). What was delivered looked like my toddler took a bouquet of grocery store flowers and shoved them into a vase. It was tiny and pathetic and measured even SMALLER than the standard arrangement. (See photo). So much for my $30 upgrade!

I paid $375 for 4 premium sized arrangements to be delivered to family members. I was charged twice for one order and Teleflora insists I have not been charged twice, yet I can see the duplicate charge and the funds have been taken from my account. Additionally, I ordered the premium sizes of all orders and my family received small arrangements that should only have cost a fraction of the price. Ridiculous. I can't begin to express my anger. I will NEVER buy from them again. And they better be refunding the duplicate charge. Attached are images of just one of the four arrangements. One is the picture of what I ordered, one is the item that was delivered. The item delivered would be somewhat understandable if I had ordered the standard size, but I paid a lot of money for 4 PREMIUM arrangements.

I ordered online a week ahead of time to have a large poinsettia delivered as a gift Dec. 1. It arrived a day late and was embarrassingly scraggly. This is the response I received from Teleflora when I asked that a replacement be made. I only wish my lovely mother would have told me that this arrived a day late and was an incredibly crappy, ugly plant.
"I do apologize, but unfortunately a refund or redelivery is no longer possible. Either option requires that 100% of the order be returned to the shop within 48 hours of delivery taking place. If the item is returned within that time frame, we can get it canceled with the current shop to either refund you in full or send to another shop to be replaced. We did ask the shop if they would be willing to exchange the item to the address on file. While we cannot guarantee they will be, they did state they would talk with the manager to see if it's a possibility. IF they do it will be between them and the recipient over the next few days. For further questions or comments please reply to this email or refer to our website. It has been a pleasure to assist you."

We had a Thanksgiving centerpiece delivered ahead of time to a huge family gathering in MD. When we arrived and saw the arrangement on the dining table, it was pathetically small. The standard arrangement width as shown on the Teleflora website is 22". This was barely 14". For $61.00, it was shocking. The 16" height was because of the candles, not the flowers. Very sad and embarrassing. I will never use them again. Do not order with them. Also ProFlowers was bad, very deceiving. They are harder to deal with on the phone. The best Teleflora could do was credit me back 50% on my card. I have not seen any positive reviews of them.

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.

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 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.

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.

When my friend sent me a pic of the flowers I sent her I was shocked. See picture "1st". Attached is a copy of a picture of Cotton Candy - what I ordered. See "ordered". I called and told Teleflora how upset I was. After a 48 minute conversation they said they would have the florist pick up the flowers and have a different florist create and deliver the flowers. See picture "2nd" = Still not close to Cotton Candy! And the original florist called my friend and told her that he had delivered the flowers and used the 'recipe'. How dare he call the recipient of the flowers and argue with her! TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED. Will NEVER use Teleflora again, ever!!!

NEVER use Teleflora. They use bad florists, their customer service is AWFUL!!! I ordered funeral flowers on 3/16/16, the order delivered was devastatingly bad. I called for a full refund and wanted the figurine (which was ordered originally) to be sent to me for the family since the figurine in the arrangement was also wrong. I was told by Teleflora they were sending it out to me right away! On May 23rd, I called them back to notify them I still had not received my figurine. I have been on hold with Teleflora for 43:05 minutes as of right now. I have been told the figurine was sent out from their warehouse in Minnesota on 5/23 and was expected to take 6 weeks to be delivered to me in Missouri. I'm waiting to hear what excuse the 2nd manager tells me. Do not use Teleflora!!!

After placing an order THREE times with Teleflora, I still ended up with no birthday gift for my loved one. I was never advised that the order will not come. The first order was attempted online. 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. They still cannot tell me what the real problem is. I am presently using the very same card to pay for all my purchases successfully. During the last phone call I had with a Teleflora CSR, I was assured that they will phone me back to explain what transpired. I'm still waiting on that call.

Placed order for 5/27 delivery. I received an email from Teleflora on 5/27 stating the "delivery had been made & signed for by recipient". A blatant lie. 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:
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.
Complained to Teleflora who offered a 35% refund. We have demanded & expect a 100% refund for product & service NOT provided. Would NEVER use Teleflora again. Smells of consumer rip-off.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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 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.

I have never used Teleflora in my life before nor will I ever use them again. To start, I ordered an arrangement of flowers for my mother for mother's day. 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." I am thoroughly disappointed with my service and unless you want to be screwed over, don't use Teleflora. The pictures below show the arrangement I ordered and what was delivered.

I ordered 5 different arrangements for family for Mother's Day. 2 have been delivered so far and to say the least, what was delivered is clearly not what was pictured.

I ordered an arrangement that was pictured as a red wagon filled with a beautifully arranged floral arrangement of flowers including roses, Gerbera daisies, regular daisies, and other flowers. What was delivered was a poorly constructed arrangement of cheap, wilted flowers. There were no roses, and it looked like I had gone in my backyard and picked dandelions and thrown them in. I was totally embarrassed, and angry, especially since I had upgrade to the "premium" level. When I complained, I was told they would have the order redone the next day. Nothing was done! I will never use Teleflora again. It is obvious to me that they contract with florists that do poor quality work, and Teleflora, when told of the disparity between what they picture on the website, and what is delivered, did not follow through to assure customer satisfaction! My advice is to call a florist directly from now on!

I wanted to send a bright, happy floral arrangement to someone who just received some very bad news. Having been burned by 1-800- Flowers I decided to try Teleflora. I was burned yet again. I ordered the "Be Happy" premium bouquet and the bouquet that was received was anything but happy. As a matter of fact I would call it a cheap early funeral arrangement. 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 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!!

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.

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.

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???

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.

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.

The problem was that what she received was a skimpy, bare spotted arrangement. I upgraded to the deluxe option of the flower arrangement and I swear the flowers she received had even less flowers in it than the cheapest version they had available. Teleflora - Very smart, got another consumer with the bait and switch move. Never buy from this site. You be the judge with the pictures below.

I ordered a Teleflora "Rose Remembrance" $100+ arrangement to be sent to a coworker's father's wake and funeral. When I arrived at the wake, I tried to spot the flowers I had sent, but didn't recognize them. My coworker's husband pointed them out and I was shocked! It was supposed to be 22 1/4" x 22 3/4". It was much smaller, with only a couple of roses, lots of empty spaces and flowers hanging half out of the arrangement. It had a few carnations in it as well. I was so embarrassed! I did not want to trouble my coworker with my concerns. She had enough to deal with. I decided to report the situation to Teleflora the next day.
I called and spoke with the customer service representative. I explained my dissatisfaction. I was on hold on and off for one hour while the associate tried to come up with some resolution. She stated that they found another florist to redo the order and would have it sent to my coworker. They would also credit 30% to my charge and send additional coupons for future use. I said "I would not use the coupons". The wake was Thursday night, January 21, 2016. The funeral was the following day. On Tuesday, January 26, 2016, I found out that the new arrangement was never delivered. Supposedly, no florist could accommodate the order. We all know how rare roses, carnations and greenery are! All the while I thought my coworker received her delivery.
I called and was repeatedly told how sorry this agent was for the inconvenience. Once again, I was on hold on and off for an extended period of time while she kept checking on my options. She stated they could substitute another arrangement. I told her about another florist in the area who could accommodate my order and asked whether they were consulted. She avoided that question altogether. I could get a 50% credit and coupons for future use. I told her give me the credit and I will never go through Teleflora again and I will be sure to pass my unfortunate experience on to everyone I can possibly tell. Teleflora is a scam operation. After reading all the 1 star reviews, I am more convinced of that than before. I wanted to have a beautiful arrangement sent. I have worked with my co-worker for 22 years and am mortified at this whole experience.

I ordered a sympathy flower arrangement to be delivered to the funeral home for the service for my sister-in-law. The day before the burial a Teleflora representative called and said that the funeral service was "on hold". I said that I was not aware of any delay for the funeral/burial. The Teleflora representative said that they wanted permission to change the delivery date. I told the Teleflora representative that I would need to contact the funeral home to determine the reason for the delay. Upon contacting the funeral director at the funeral home, he told me that was a total lie.
The funeral was not delayed and furthermore no one from Teleflora contacted the funeral home or was given any such information. I called the Teleflora representative and asked for the name of the person who lied about a funeral. Of course, they refused to give me any information. This is a new low - lying about a funeral/burial. I have never experienced a more egregious act by any retailer. Teleflora promised to give me a full refund. Thanks to a professional funeral director, he contacted a local florist and ensured that a beautiful floral arrangement arrived timely for the service.

Ordered some flowers for my goddaughter's 30th birthday. I paid extra to have them delivered on the day that I wanted. Delivery never happened. I emailed and called them about 5 times and got the runaround. I demanded to speak with a manager after an employee was trying to give me a credit for my displeasure. I told them HELL NO. Never again. I demanded a FULL refund for their lack of service. I am soooo disappointed in the service. Will never use them again for anything!!! Total garbage.

Not happy about my experience. The arrangement was not delivered on the agreed upon date. They never got my order right, would not call me to explain the problem, let me just cancel the order, or provide full refund. When I called them about the wrong arrangement that was delivered, the customer service representative (who spoke with a prominent foreign accent) told me they would use a different flower shop and get the order fixed, promised me that I would be called if they couldn't get the correct item, none of which ever happened.
The original local flower shop exchanged the flower arrangement. They called the recipient and asked her to pick up the new one, which wasn't even the Thomas Kinkade arrangement I ordered. If you don't have the item the customer ordered, call them to inform them and present the opportunity to cancel. I called the Teleflora customer service number again, this time got someone who spoke English, but I only got 35% refund. I will never use Teleflora.com again.

I ordered an upgraded birthday bouquet $49 plus delivery and tax so basically $70 plus. The recipient sent a photo, I could tell when she called that she was wondering why I would choose such a shoddy bouquet. Imagine my surprise when I see approximately 4 faded looking flowers in a vase as compared to the Teleflora photo of lovely flowers, more than a dozen. Sorry I didn't see all the one star reviews on this website before deviating from my usual floral company. The miles were not worth it. I contacted customer service, no response yet.

Ordered the flowers on Tues, 12/29/15 to be delivered 1/2/16. By the afternoon pm. 1/2/16 the flowers were still not delivered. This was my aunts 90th birthday. No excuse. Called from 3 pm on 1/2/16 until 7 pm then spoke w/ supervisor, who said that she would have to check w/ the florist on MONDAY, 1/4/16 to see why they could not deliver. The flowers should have been delivered, as the weather was good. And it's near Nashville, TN. No excuse. She had to check w/ the florist 1st to see why. What about me, the consumer? Seems the florist comes first.
Meanwhile my aunt already had gone to bed by 7 pm not knowing that the surprise flowers for her 90th b-day, which Teleflora charged megabucks for had never arrived. How many people turn 90. This should have been a priority and the flowers were ordered way ahead of time to arrive in a timely manner. No excuse. No refund was offered by Teleflora. They had to check w/ the florist on MONDAY first. Not only will I not use Teleflora, but anyone I can talk to or use social media to tell this story.

This is the second time I ordered online with Teleflora. Originally I chose this business because they delivery flowers in a vase and not in a box. The first time I ordered I was unsatisfied that when I saw the flowers, they did not look like what I had originally bought. I thought they made a mistake and just accepted it. However it happened again. I ordered 18 long stem pink roses and paid a lot for it, and when my gf came home I see 8 red roses in a vase. Though the flowers were still nice, they are not what I wanted nor what I paid for. I called to complain and at first they only offered a 20% refund. After I was still unhappy, 50% is as high as they'd go. I accepted and felt it was a fair refund. But I am still upset the roses I originally wanted did not get delivered. I won't be using this service anymore.

It was very important to me to have flowers delivered to my mom who lives in a small town in Utah. It was the first anniversary of her son's death. I couldn't be there, so I wanted her to know I was thinking of her and what she was going through. It was so important that she get a beautiful arraignment, that I didn't want to take a chance with a small flower shop in a small town, so I figured I could rely on a large company like Teleflora.
At 1:00 on Saturday afternoon, the day they were to be delivered, I received an e-mail from them saying they couldn't deliver the flowers until Monday. I immediately called and was told, oh, well, that's all they can do, none of the flower shops they deal with are available. Their solution? They will deliver the flowers to her on Monday with an apology card for being late. I had to hang up before I burst into tears. I frantically started making calls to every flower shop I could find online. One of the shops that was an hour away gave me a number to a shop that was about 20 minutes away from here. They were closing in 45 minutes. The woman immediately assured me they would get something to her that would be very nice. I got a call from my mom an hour later in tears, so happy with the flowers she just received.
Why is it I was able to find someone to deliver flowers within 15 minutes? How can Teleflora take my order, guarantee my satisfaction, CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD, and wait until the end of the next day to tell me they aren't going to deliver my flowers? They are in the business of delivering flowers for anniversaries, for sympathy, for birthdays, etc. Those aren't the kinds of things that can just arrive two days late with an apology note to the recipient. By looking at other people's reviews, it's obvious this company needs to be put out of business. I highly suggest you call a flower shop directly and not use Teleflora. They are absolutely horrible. And, by the way, if you ever need flowers delivered in Southern Utah, be sure to call Coral Canyon Floral! They will come through for you!

For the first time, I chose to order flowers through Teleflora today and made the biggest mistake ever. I will not recommend them AT ALL. I ordered in the morning and selected same day delivery. I received an email around 3:54 pm that my flowers have been "hand delivered". I called my wife around 5 pm to check if she got them, but she had not. I called their customer service and after 20 minutes someone came on the line to help: and mentioned that the delivery truck sends the email once he is on his way, so I should receive it and if I don't then I should contact them again. I came home at 9:30 pm and did not see any flowers. I called them again. After waiting for couple hours, I gave up and decided to share my experience with others so no one else makes the same mistake. I lost my $78 and will order from 1-800 Flowers in the future.

I received 2 arrangements from Teleflora yesterday. Both were such a disappointment. My boyfriend ordered the deluxe option on both arrangements. They were small, pathetic. One of the arrangements was supposed to be for Christmas. The flowers they used were orange and white? What? Quality was poor. Very disappointed to say the least. I didn't want to disappoint my boyfriend, so I contacted Teleflora directly. They are supposed to have 2 new arrangements delivered today or tomorrow. I'm not expecting much! Will never ever use this company for my floral needs!

Notice that all the ratings are 1 star. If I could give Teleflora -1 star, I would. Their business is a fraud. They should be banned from doing business. They are way overpriced. Example: I ordered a pot of Xmas Poinsettias for $35.00 after advertised for 25% discount. I ended up Paying $55.00 total, after service fees, tax and shipping. I guess it must have been shipped from Los Angeles by train to Houston. The plant was wilted and cinchy. I bought the same size pot at Home Depot for $5.00, and the plant was fuller, crispier and fresher. I understand making a profit, but 500-700% is way overboard and a scam. You will notice that most of the reviews on all the websites are 1 star. I would advise anybody buying flowers or plants from Teleflora to check the reviews first. I will never deal with this scam vendor again.
