      On June 21st, 2025 I made an order with teleflora to deliver flowers to my daughter for her 18th birthday. This was not just some random celebration that could be done another time. My daughter will never turn 18 again, and I will not be able to have her day a little extra special with having flowers delivered to tell her happy birthday.. I am beyond upset with how this company has done me. I didn't receive them at all after paying over $87.00 with taxes and delivery fees. I have contacted them 3 different times and asked for them to return the money that was paid to them. I have not received any response back from this company. I hope you are able to help me recover my money back from these scam artists. Details: Hugs & kisses - Premium Product ************ price: T11Z100C Service Fee: $21.98 Taxes: $5.74 Payment Type: **** Total: $87.71

      I ordered a pitcher of sunflowers-Premium to be delivered on mother's day. When they arrived to my mom they looked as someone went into their backyard and picked some half dead flowers and put them in the vase and sent them to her.

      On May 6, 2025, I made an online flower order. I paid $15.99 for an early delivery before 1:00pm on May 7, 2025. The next day, after 1:00pm, the order had not arrived, and I called multiple times throughout the afternoon. I was either hung up on or assured it would be delivered. It NEVER was delivered, despite me getting an email of delivery confirmation. I was home. NO ONE came to the door. I called immediately. After being told by the representative that they had been delivered, I asked what florist in *********, ******** had brought them to the house. She was silent acting like she could not her me and then hung up the line. This company is ridiculous. I filed a dispute with ******, who normally is very thorough, and I got a notice today that they found I had received the item and would be charging my account. If I get charged by Teleflora for an item I did not receive, I will file a civil suit and request attorney's fees and time lost from work having to deal with this issue.

      I am very sorry that your order was not delivered. I have issued a full refund back to your original form of payment. Please allow 2-10 business days for you to see this.

      I am a customer of ********************** and have encountered ongoing issues regarding the release of a domain that I personally paid for, which was initially managed by Teleflora as part of our website setup. Despite multiple requests, I was told that I had to send a physical letter to request the release, and that the process could take up to 90 days.I have sent numerous letters, and each time I follow up, I am told they have not received them. I am now being forced to send certified mail, which is both inconvenient and unnecessary in todays digital age. This delay is directly hindering our ability to launch our new website and attract new customersan essential part of our *********** is clear that this extended process is being used as a control tactic to retain customers, rather than a genuine policy for customer service. Every time I request to speak with upper management, I am told that they cannot guarantee a call back. This is not only unprofessional but also completely unacceptable.Additionally, I have received a billing charge that I am actively disputing, but Teleflora has refused to address or resolve the matter. This pattern of unresponsiveness, lack of accountability, and outdated procedures is not what I expected from a company that claims to support small ************* this point, I feel that I am being taken advantage of by a company that should be helping my business, not hindering its growth. I strongly urge Teleflora to reevaluate its policies and take immediate action to release my domain and address the disputed charges.

      ***** ******** also requested information in regard to cancelling the Teleflora network on May 14th, 2025, but then called back on May 20th, 2025 and expressed a desire to cancel the request to cancel Teleflora.  To date, we have NOT received a letter to cancel the Teleflora services, including the website, Teleflora network, and the *** release.

      My 82 year old grandmother ordered a fruit basket to be delivered from this place. She is in a different state and wanted to surprise me for Easter. What was delivered was a box of chocolates and a lily plant. I thanked her but told ber I couldnt keep the plant because we have pets and they are toxic to cats and dogs. She said she had no idea they werent sending the fruit basket, and received no communication about a potential substitute. This plant delivery literally could have killed my pets due to the business ignorance and refusal to communicate. My grandmother reached out to them for a refund because it wasnt what she ordered, and they refused to refund her what she paid, and charged her for what they delivered. Their ****** is littered with reviews stating they frequently do not deliver what is ordered.

      This order was placed by the customer through a third party.  The order indicated that it could be the florist's choice, and we were approved through the third party for a date change.  The customer needs to reach out to the third party or file a complaint against them.

      Hello ****, We are so deeply sorry for the trouble this has caused. Unfortunately, I could not pull up the order with the information provided. We would be happy to provide her with a full refund for this order. I'm sorry for the inconvenience as well, but if she would like to call and ask to speak with a supervisor, one should surely be able to help resolve this for you both. We sincerely apologize for the heartache and would love to help resolve this situation. We wish you all nothing but the best and look forward to hearing from her. Have a wonderful day. ******** *., Teleflora

      I am filing a formal complaint against Teleflora regarding a repeated failure to deliver flowers ordered for Mothers Day to a gravesite. Despite receiving email confirmations both in 2024 (order #*********) and again in 2025 (order #**********) that the orders had been delivered, no delivery was ever made either year. I only discovered the issue after a family member visited the site and informed me. I did not suspect anything was amiss, due to the fact that I got an order delivered confirmation.When I contacted Teleflora this year (2025), they refunded approximately 70% of my order. However, I had to initiate the call myself, and I was never proactively informed that the order had failed. The same situation occurred last year, and they gave me a partial refund at that time as well. I understand mistakes can happen, but this has now occurred two years in a row, on a deeply emotional holiday. Their website falsely indicated successful delivery both times, which is misleading and unacceptable. I believe this is a pattern that should be reviewed, especially as it may be affecting other grieving families who trust this company to honor meaningful dates.I am seeking formal recognition of this issue and urge an investigation into their delivery verification and florist accountability processes.

      I ordered these flowers to be delievered on Mothers day 4/11/25 and paid extra money for this specific date and they did not arrive on the date requested.

      I am writing to express my disappointment with order number **********, which was intended to be a version of the pretty please bouquet for Mothers Day.The arrangement that was delivered was significantly different from what we ordered and paid for. It not only appears to be an entirely different version but was also much smaller than expected, with a minimal number of flowers. While I understand that there can be some variation in arrangements compared to website photos, the difference in this case was substantial.I would appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this issue to avoid further action.

      Hello ********,

      I am terribly sorry that the bouquet delivered was not what you ordered and that it was not professionally arranged or fresh. That is definitely not the Teleflora quality anyone should expect! I have reviewed your order, and a full refund was already issued on 5/12. Please allow ********** 2-10 business days to make the funds available to you or by 5/27/25.

      This isn't the typical consumer experience here at Teleflora, and we would like the opportunity to earn your business back.

You will receive a separate email with the discount code and a copy of the code will be on this order for reference.
