I had an order to be delivered 2/2/22 for my daughters 15th birthday to her highschool. The rep that took my card info the day I ordered it 2/1 said it would be delivered by 2:30p.

However I received an email stating they were running behind at 4:30p (2 hours PAST delivery time) stating that it would be as late as 8p (when the school is closed and when she would already be home). I called in and the reps line went silent as if she'd muted her line.

I told her that I thought her line was muted but she didn't say anything, not even hold on. So I hung up and called back only for a different rep tell me he couldn't get into my account. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

I ordered flowers off of your site for a co-worker who's mother passed away. We chose the flowers and the flowers that were delivered were not even close to what we picked out. We had placed the order well in advance. Order #5797619114.

There were numerous issues but what I am upset with the most is, is that the flowers were not even close to what we expected from the photo and they were dead flowers and smashed flowers as well. This is not a good way for your company to get recommended.

It was a very small arrangement and we had ordered a large arrangement. I will be attaching a photo of the flowers and I believe we should get the money back for these flowers. I am so very disappointed in what you sent.

Also, The website does not update the customers on when the order is being…

I ordered and paid $100 for an azalea bonsai as a gift for my daughter-in-law’s birthday. What she received was a half dead plant with dead leaves, sparse leaves and no blooms. I was mortified when she sent me a picture of the plant.

I received an azelea plant from my brother and sister-in-law out of state for my 80th birthday two days ago and even though I thought it was healthy looking today on my birthday I checked the plant and all the leaves are falling off of the plant. When I received the plant a lot of the dirt was missing and the dirt that was in the plant was very soggy.

I know that being shipped the dirt had to be noist but azelea's do not like soggy soil which could be the problem in why the plant is losing its leaves. Since my brother and his wife were so kind as to remember me on my birthday and paid for this plant I should have gotten one that was more healthy.

If you would please look into where this plant was shipped from and why it could not last in shipment to me. I would not be complaining about…

DO NOT USE 1-800-Flowers UNLESS you want to have a horrible experience! All of the phone representatives do not speak very good English and they do not pay attention to details! I ordered a floral arrangement for an upcoming funeral this weekend.

I spent 21 minutes on the phone placing my order and I had to phonetically spell out the entire recipients name, church and address of delivery… multiple times I had to repeat all of this information (literally 3-4 times). The call ends, and I later receive a voicemail stating they need me to contact them about my order.

I call them back, and I had to pull up the email to provide my order# and realized the recipients name, church and delivery address all had multiple errors so there’s no way this delivery would have been successful. The…

I ordered flowers that were to be delivered on 12-23, they never made it, then again was promised delivery on 26th, no delivery. Called again today and now the 28th. I never received a call or email from anyone. I have used this place for 8 yrs now, not sure I will every do business with 1 800 flowers again. Hope its delivered tomorrow.

My aunt is 92 and looks forward to my flowers I send her. Tired of being on the phone for hours. Xmas is over now. Still trying.

The memorial lantern I ordered was beautiful. My complaint is that the recipient had no idea where it came from. The card with my message wasn't included with my order. If I had not called my family member today 12-24-21, they would never have known where it came from. Unhappy it wasn't included.

I will in the future not ever deal with 1 800 flowers. I will also notify my family members in the future to use local florist and not go through your company.

Never received my order, this just hurt me because I was just waiting to give my wife those flowers. Never trust this business ever. I should have just gone local

If I could do less than 1 star I would. I attempted to order same day delivery flowers for my wife. They did not arrive at her job on same day. Disappointed but not angry since I did order early afternoon.

The delivery location was her job, a school. My order was placed over the phone when there was an issue with the website and my PayPal site connection. I called customer service at about 7pm the same day to find out why my order was not delivered. No good answer given.

Did realize the rep who took my order input my email address wrong. I was told my order would be delivered next day before 4pm. I called the next day at about 1:30 because it still had not arrived. I spoke with supervisor who "called" the florist and was told they were putting arrangement together again so that the…

I just received an edible arrangement from a company you hired called Fruit & Flower Creation, 639 W. Bridge Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460. I would NEVER tell my friend that their bouquet arrived in such a terrible condition. The fruit was old and wilted and the chocolate they dipped some of the fruit in was absolutely watered down and tasteless.

I have never recieved a fruit arrangement in such terrible condition in all my life prompting me to notify you that you should sever ties with this company. They do not represent you well at all! Such a shame for my friend who no doubt paid good money fo this.

I placed an order last week for a soup basket as a get well gift.

After placing the order, I saw it could not be delivered until 11/09 and I electronically cancelled it within 15 minutes.

When I got a text that the item shipped, I contacted 1800fliwers explaining I had cancelled the order and was told because it shipped it was too late

Order W01095779765676 was delivered today, but it was not the right item. I contacted customer service and was told they would send what I ordered. I was then told it wasn’t in stock to send. When I asked for a refund I was told that would not be possible since an item was delivered.

I was offered partial credit, which I refused.

I ordered the floral arrangement on the right. I recieved the one on the left. I am very displeased with this arrangement. I very much dislike bows. Why is there a big white bow on there. No fullness compared to the original on the rt. Much smaller vase. Very unhappy.

Upon confirmation receipt of order, there were typos and grammatical errors on card. This was humiliating and embarrassing during the sad occasion of the death of a dear friend's Father! I was assured the card would be corrected. I received email with corrected verbiage for card, yet the original card with typos and grammatical errors was sent to the bereaved!

I called again and customer service rep offered me a 50% discount on another flower order as well as offered to personally call the bereaved and apologize. I said no, I would like to send another floral arrangement to the home of the deceased since the funeral was September 15th.

Long story short, the same card with typos and grammatical errors was sent to the church where funeral was. It is as though there are sick people working…

I ordered flowers to be delivered today. They were not delivered even though I received a delivery confirmation.

First representative Oliver told me (after waiting 25 minutes for a call back) sometimes those messages are sent before delivery and be patient and wait until 8 pm. He also said if it wasn’t received to call a special number and I could speak to someone without waiting. I called at 8:10.

Waited 30 minutes for a call back from Abigail. There was nothing she could do but redeliver tomorrow. This was supposed to be sent in sympathy and if I hadn’t called I would not have known it wasn’t delivered. I asked if that was my only choice and she promised to issue a refund.

I asked if they knew if it was delivered to the wrong address and they had no idea what happened and all she did…

I attempted to the cancel an order within one minute of placing it!

I chose an arrangement advertised for $39.99 +tax, with free delivery. The total I therefore expected was $42.49.

I chose PayPal as a payment method, and 1-800-FLOWERS directed me to PayPal to authorize charge. I signed into PayPal, and then PayPal returned me to 1-800-FLOWERS, but without shaving shown a total dollar amount.

It was when I'd been redirected to 1-800-FLOWERS that I saw that a $17.98 “service fee" had been tacked on. This fee had not been disclosed prior to directing me to PayPal for payment authorization.

This was a deceptive move on the part of 1-800-FLOWERS.

As I wrote above, I immediately replied to the confirmation email with the word “CANCEL” in the subject line and “CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL” in the…

I had ordered flowers to be delivered to a coworker last week- received an email that they were delivered- when I asked the coworker if she liked her flowers she let me know she didn’t get anything- of course I wanted it to be a surprise- and figured since I got the email that said they were delivered I could ask about it- when I found out they never got delivered I was irate!

I had to call and let them know what happened- they said to call back by 5 if they still didn’t get there - called back at 5- they told me that my account was locked by someone and would need to call me back- no one called- I then had to reach out again the next day- I requested a redelivery but also asked for a refund due to the fact that they couldn’t even call me back as told.

This isn’t the first time I have…

I ordered flowers for my daughter's birthday on 7/31 to be delivered on 8/07 Saturday. I did put the order number in and the zip codes requested. My payment was made by a credit card and negotiated by your company on 7/31.

I called your customer service department on Friday, after receiving the above message and the representative said the order had been sent out and was on its way to be delivered Friday, 8/06. I indicated this was not the correct date and he sent me a message which indicated the order was too late to stop and gave me a tracking number.

I requested a refund and he said he would have a supervisor call me within the next 5 minutes. No one did call. 8/07. He verbally said this would happen. When I checked the order status of the wrong delivery date through FED EX your…

I've ordered flowers twice from them for a birthday (April and now July) and both deliveries never arrived as promised. My second delivery July 29, 2021) was for my mom's birthday and was extra special because we had just had two deaths in the family.

One of the deaths was the lost of my mom's grandson, so the flowers were a little more special. I've been in the field of customer service/hospitality for more than 17 years and I know that they contract local florists to fulfill orders.

They said that they tried to deliver to my home and that no one answered. The thing is, not only were there 5 people at my home, I have a working door bell and a camera that showed no one coming to my home.

They never know what people are going through and to continually fail at a delivery behooves me.…

I am truly upset. I ordered flowers for my wife so she could receive them today and she never got them. Never. When I called I was told they tried at 12am. Which is wrong. They didn’t try at 12 am or 12pm.

I provided your company an alternate address and phone number to call if any issues and nothing No calls. No flowers. I called customer service and asked for a refund but I feel that’s not enough considering it was my anniversary.

I have always tried to be open about things but this is ridiculous. It’s not like it’s Mother’s Day.

Ordered flowers on June 19th to be delivered on June 20th for my daughters 21st birthday. $90. Never received them. Call their useless, foreign customer services representatives 11 times. They claim they called the local florist, whom they wouldn't disclose who they were, to re-deliver.

It's 114 degrees in Las Vegas. Florist said they left them on the porch. That is completely false, my outdoor camera's didn't find anyone delivering anything on June 20th. I want my complete total spent reimbursed to my credit card within 24 hours.

1-800-Flowers are a grade F in customer service, pricing, delivery. I cannot believe that from 10 am to 5:47 pst, I didn't get the delivery that was assured would be on the 20th. Apparently, 1800flowers and the local florist are thieves that steal credit card…

My last order was a HORRIBLE customer service experience . I could not believe it! I was patient. VERY. You SHOULD NOT place a representative that CANNOT SPELL, even after spelling it and repeating it over and over and over again.

His English and comprehension was not acceptable in my opinion for this type of job here. You as a company should know better. I am a Professional, a doctor, I told the young man that I cannot afford to send flowers to a Corporation with mis spellings and all.

It is Your fault as a Company. I was extremely patient, repeating and pronouncing letters and over and over. I was so disappointed when I read my message. Shameful! I could have done it myself , was specifically looking for blue and white, so I called.

It needs a 0 rating! Ordered a funeral arrangement for over $200 to be delivered the day before service for my sister who lived in a different state than me. Didn’t see that it was delivered so called and was told that the flowers were not available.

Talked and waited for about 45 min. To be told she would get back to me and would search for another provider. Never received call back and no action was taken for refund. This is horrible customer service and very upsetting during this difficult time!!!

The service was to be the following day and if they had got back to me I could have selected another arrangement. Instead it was just dropped. Will never use your service again and will be sure to tell all I know about your poor service.

I ordered my fiance flowers for her birthday and they look nothing like the picture. Honestly it looks like they skimped on them. It doesn't even look like a bouquet. It looks sad... I was expecting a big smile on her face and she was not happy.

She said I shouldn't have wasted my money on these. I showed her the picture of what they were supposed to look like and she said it looks nothing like that and that she would've loved them if they were full like the photo and actually filled the vase like in the picture.

What a let down and a waste of money she was supposed to be happy on her birthday not let down disappointed and sad.

When found I was told I purchased a passport, that was never offered to me from the first representative. When I called to make a formal complaint I found out that my order had the wrong address and my order was wrong.

After several request i was told i could not get a refund despite being lied to and mislead from the very start. I was then hung up on with no return call. This purchase was for a very special occasion.
