I requested flower be delivered and they weren't. They state that it was delivered to the address and she never received them. I called to let them know and they just tell me they confirmed they were delivered and when challenged just said oh I will have to call you back.Business Response

Date ordered was Oct 12th
Order Number:
*********
Details:
Violets And Butterflies - Standard
Total order $55.23
Order was for Violets and butterflies. What I received was white orchids, completely different product. Irresponsible and unprofessional. After reaching out regarding a completely wrong product they only offered a refund of $16.57 with no follow up. This is a scam as a completely different product was delivered, no where near comparable replacement. When reached out a second time, there was no response. Image of the orchid that was delivered and image of the product I had ordered online submitted.Business Response

I have been trying to end my partnership with Teleflora for the last year. Each time I would send in the letter they would have my rep call me and smooth things over and talk me into staying. They are taking money from me every month. None of the customer service people or reps actually listen to what I am saying. I never agreed to an annual membership renewal. When I asked about this they stated it is automatic. I have asked twice for a copy of what states this and not received it. They will not let me end our partnership until the end of April which makes no sense at all especially as I would never have agreed to be in a partnership with them for this long. I have asked so many times to end this partnership and I just keep getting told no not until the end of april but no one will show me where I agreed to this. This continued partnership is going to put my small flower shop out of business and they will not listen to me regarding this. I would just like some answers.Business Response

We will cancel the account immediately, even though ************ has agreed to stay a number of times, based on the conversations she mentions in the past, as well as the rules and regulations which are clearly posted in the Directory.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I would like proof of cancellation. I have sent in cancellation request letters a few times. This would be followed up by a phone call and promises of coming to the small flower shop I run as well as helping me to get more orders. Then i would be surprised by even more charges the next month. I call and try to talk to customer service about correcting towns listed and issues with website and I am assured it will be corrected and it is for a month and then all of these other charges creep back in. I have explained multiple times that we are a small family run business and can not pay them more than we are making. I did review the rules and regulations which I also printed and highlighted and mailed in with my cancellation request this last time. It very clearly states that either member can cancel our membership at anytime without reason. Each time I try to cancel they would push it out by a few months and this time they told me they would cancel me until April which will not work and i never ever agreed to. When I asked where the contract was that I signed and acknowledged that I was staying for another year they could not produce one and said it just an "automatic renewal" when I asked for a copy of where it says that I was told he did not have time to find it but I could look it up myself. I have made plenty of money for teleflora and I am simply and have been simply asking for the last year to get out of this membership. They will not even give me back my domain name for at least 90 days which doesnt make any sense. I already had to purchase another domain name. They are trying to get any amount of money possible from me even when I can not stay in this membership. I feel like I am trapped in an abusive marriage and I am not being allowed to get a divorce. This is all becoming very traumatizing.
Consumer Response /* (-5, 8, 2022/10/25) */
I am happy to accept their answer as long as I can really end this partnership but I just want proof as I feel the have swindled me multiple times
Consumer Response /* (-5, 9, 2022/10/26) */
Now it appears as though teleflora has hijacked my website and rather than releasing my domain back to me to control they kept my domain and are directing customer from my website to a florist that is partnered with them in Wolfeboro. I do not believe this is legal. This is stealing customers away and another way they would like to see me not in business
Business Response /* (4000, 13, 2022/11/17) */
Teleflora never owned the URL or Domain ************ is referencing. The URL/Domain was owned by another company since August 2020 and was therefore never ours to release. This will be our last response to ************, as we have already made exception after exception in an effort to appease her. Please do not re-submit any other rebuttal, as we have been more than fair, and this matter is concluded.Initial Complaint

I initially placed an order online on a Sunday for same day delivery. I found the product by using the website for Teleflora and narrowing results to the recipients zip code and same day delivery. I had an error in submitting the payment and when I called them to fix it, I was told they were unable to deliver same day. I cancelled the order and set about looking for another service, however after an hour of looking I ended up placing a new order with them for next day delivery for 91$, after using a 30% off coupon they emailed me for the inconvenience the day before. The next afternoon I got an email from them that my second order had been cancelled. When I called to all why, I was told that the premium arrangement I had chosen and paid for (about 120$ Before the discount) was not enough money for any local shops to deliver my arrangement. They said they could get it sent if I would pay 140$ instead! I was appalled. They advertised being able to make the chosen arrangement for the specified price and after speaking to a supervisor for over 40 minutes, she told me the best she could do was make the order with a 50% coupon which still would have cost me an additional 15$. At this point it was no longer about the money. She told me I could not get ANY arrangement delivered to Fargo, ND for less than 140$. I was so completely disgusted with them at this point that I told Teleflora they had horrible customer service and false advertising practices. Meanwhile, I contacted a local shop in Fargo, who told me their minimum order delivery was 25$! Not 140$! And teleflora had contacted them and offered 50$ of my 90$ for the order to be done. I ended up using that local company but because of
Telefora, it delivered didn't get to my friend for 3 days. A birthday arrangement.
As far as I was concerned, a satisfactory response would have been for the arrangement I paid for to be sent, and if it was more than they had advertised, then Teleflora should have paid the difference.Business Response

I ordered three ******* arrangements. They were delivered on time. That is the only thing I have no problem with. The bouquets used cheap carnations And daisies in a bouquet pictured with roses. Another bouquet arrived with dead, brown, drooping lily's. I spent over $300 on these three bouquets and it's embarrassing to display them.Business Response

*********** ordered flowers for me that were not delivered. She is ****************** often out at ******* far away, so I tried to resolve the issue myself so she would not be upset and worry. I am certain that the flowers she ordered were not delivered because we have security cameras and I watched the entire length of footage for the day they were said by the company to have been delivered.
Although I have tried to reach someone to help me with Teleflora, no one has been willing. I find this particularly terrible because her life in on the line being out off the coast of dangerous areas of the world and also because ********************************************
But no one at Teleflora seems to care. I can certainly afford to buy myself flowers, but this was a "special" gift for her older mom who she is not able to be with.

They couldn't deliver the flowers ******************** so they promised they'd be delivered to the family at 9 AM the following day.
Called and left a voicemail stating that wouldn't be happening either, asked for another option.
I'm beyond words. I own 2 delivery companies- I WOULD NEVER PROMISE A DELIVERY I COULD NOT ENSURE WOULD BE EXECUTED PROPERLY. To promise me during such a vulnerable time and fall short (for the second time)?
I'm beyond words. This company has a 2.5 star rating. That's an F. I would suggest using any other vendor, including more expensive options to ensure you get your flowers to where they need to go. I would pay a 50 percent mark up to never deal with the regret I feel this morning. I couldn't be at *********** so I wanted the family to have a note and my flowers.
Now, all I have is a deep regret, sadness and I'm scrambling to figure out what to do. What a disgrace.Business Response

The recipient still has not received any flower delivery. This was just a response to show that someone reviewed the complaint. Prior to posting this complaint, I escalated it internally twice.
As I stated in my original complaint, do not trust this company with important deliveries, or once-in-a-lifetime ones at least because they just don't "deliver" which is so ironic considering that's literally their only job.

I was told that the florist didn't have it. I asked why I was not called or sent an email yesterday in regards to this? I was told she doesn't know. I was also told nothing could be sent this late now. I was also told that on the website they reserve the right of something isn't available they can replace it with florist's choice.
