I ordered a beautiful bouquet from TELEFLORA for my mother on Mother's Day 2025 and instead of getting the bouquet..... my mother was sent a cheap, dying plant instead. My order was for a Deluxe Floral Arrangement in a beautiful wicker basket.... it was an expensive order - $80 for the flowers, a $25 Service Fee and I even included a $9 Tip. It was delivered on 10 May as requested. I will NEVER order from TELEFLORA again. When my father told me "the plant" looked was dying - I asked him to send me a photo of what was delivered. I could not believe what was sent to my mother. It was not even a bouquet! I called Teleflora today, 11 May 2025 on Mother's Day and they refused to make it right. They said the only thing they could do for me was offer me a 25% discount on my next order!! THE NERVE!Order Number: ********** Details: Teleflora's Lavender Meadow Basket Bouquet - Premium Product ************ ************** $79.99 Service Fee: $24.99 Taxes: $6.78 Tip: $8.00 Promotional Savings:$0 Total Order: $119.76 I have attached photos.

Ordered a $100 arrangement for my mother for Mother's Day. Was called "Busy Bee Pitcher Bouquet" there wasnt a bee or a pitcher anywhere to be found in the arrangement that was delivered. I know that flowers are sometimes substituted due to supply. But they can NOT advertise something that they will never expect to send. It's a form of false advertisement. Just because they put in fine print that "flowers and vases may be slightly different" is the only thing that saves them. They are a scam. Can't for the life of me understand the A score. With the complaints on here about them and the ones on ******** there's no way they'd even get a D. Scam, scam, scam. Such a disappointment. Was so excited when I saw this arrangement and then to see the picture my mom sent me of what she received.Business Response

They sent me an email (not even the courtesy of a phone call) cancelling my flower delivery to my mother and grandmother the day before Mothers Day. I had placed the order several days prior to ensure Mothers Day delivery. They had no explanation for the cancellation and did not make any effort to rectify the situation. I have not received a refund.Business Response

On May 6 2025 I ordered "Dressed to Impress" premium for delivery on May 9 2025. The delivery did occur late in the day, but the issue is the quality of the arrangement. I have uploaded what the arrangement was supposed to look like, versus what was actually delivered. The website advertised 22 1/4x20" for dimensions, however, the arrangement delivered is only 18x13. I understand the need to make adjustments based on availability of flowers and vases, but this arrangement isn't even close to what I ordered. I paid a total of $106.32 - which included a tip - and am very, very disappointed in this order. I have ordered numerous times from Teleflora, and while not always perfect, at least the arrangements were typically close to advertised images.Business Response

I ordered flowers for my mother in law in a different state for Mothers Day. They took my order just to cancel it the morning before telling me there are no available florists in the area to fulfill. Horrible! Had they not accepted my order (zip code and address provided) i would have ordered through 1800 flowers which would have fedexed then to her. Instead, I'll have to send her flowers a week later since no one is available to do so on such a short notice. **************** was not helpful at all - they told me the volume was high and cancelations happen. Really of course it's high, it's MOTHERS DAY!!!!! All they care about is money! If they couldn't have fulfilled the order they should have let me know earlier so I could have a choice to go with another service. This is deplorable!!!!Business Response

Hello *****,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointment and frustration you experienced.
We understand how important Mothers Day is, and we deeply regret that we were unable to fulfill your order as promised. It was never our intention to disrupt your plans or to let you down during such a meaningful occasion.
Due to an unexpected surge in holiday demand and limited florist availability in certain areas, we unfortunately encountered challenges in securing a florist partner to complete your delivery. While we strive to offer reliable service in all regions, this situation fell short of both your expectations and our own standards. You are absolutely righthad we identified the availability issue earlier, we could have alerted you sooner, giving you the opportunity to make alternative arrangements. We take full responsibility for that oversight.
Please know that a full refund was issued for your order, and as a gesture of goodwill, we have also provided a 25% discount on a future purchase. While we understand that this does not replace the moment that was missed, we hope it demonstrates our commitment to making things right.
We value your feedback and are actively reviewing this issue to prevent similar situations in the future. Your experience highlights where we must do better, especially during high-volume holidays.
If you have any further concerns, or if you would like assistance using your future discount, please dont hesitate to reach out to our customer ********************** team directly at ************. We are here to help.

I ordered flowers from teleflora to be delivered on Mothers Day. I paid extra for it and not only did they not deliver on the correct daymay 11 the flowers were complete c*** and falsely advertised. They refused a full refund. But offered a full refund to someone on ******** who has the same problem. My flowers were delivered 2 days early and were c*** I will attach pictures of mine and proof they refused a full refund for me but offered it to someone else. This is fraud and ruining a special holiday. They are so corporate they dont care but if they dont give my moment back I will then precede with legal action. It wont let me upload the flowers I actually received. It says the file is too large but I can email it to you.Business Response

I ordered flowers for my sister in law who recently passed 3/30/25 and this website did an amazing job, so when my brother died on 4/16/25 I used the same site. I get a call from teleflora saying that they cant deliver my order on the day I requested so I told them to deliver it the day before, then they said they couldnt deliver it to the funeral home so I gave them my brothers address. Never heard anything else thought the problem was solved. Then I get a call from the florist saying that she can not make the casket spray for the price teleflora gave me and proceeds to say they didnt even put casket spray they put designers choice! The only reason she called was because my sister in law had also ordered from the site and let her know that I was expecting a casket spray. The fact that the company didnt have the decency to say that they are false advertising their items during my time of grief is so disrespectful and with the recent loss of two of my family members is just to much not to say anything. I am so upset with this company. They are false advertising their items during the most painful time in my life.Business Response

I placed an order on ******* for birthday flowers to be delivered to my mom before 1 PM on April 8. When I woke up today (4/8) to check the tracking information, I realized that less than an hour after I had received my order confirmation, I received an e-mail stating that my order was deemed "questionable" and was canceled for my protection. I called the 800 number provided in the e-mail and the customer service *** informed of basically of what the cancelation order stated and nothing more. There was no explanation as to which part of my order was "questionable". What is actually questionable is that the amount I paid was not canceled on their end, in fact they settled it for the day (which I know because the charge is not pending, it was fully cleared). The customer service *** said I would be issued a refund. I have since disputed the charge with my bank. This business is horrible. Go elsewhere!Business Response

I had a repeatedly terrible experience with Teleflora ordering flowers for my wife for *********** Day. When my wife had to take care of her parents unexpectedly because of medical emergency, I was on the phone with Teleflora for an hour to postpone the flowers I ordered on 12/28/24 for 2/14/25 on *********** Day. I was assured by the agent multiple times that the flowers would be delivered to my address in **************** and that they had it correctly on 3/29/25. I arranged everything for that day and planned everything around it but the flowers never came. I wasted an hour of painful time trying to get this to happen and having it confirmed solidly. But the flowers didn't come. So I lost that money, time, and day of caring for my wife with this gesture. Then I filled out forms online and spoke to an agent who assured me that today 4/7/25, the flowers would be delivered and I'd get multiple additional 30% discounts, which I was very unhappy with as compensation, but agreed to because I didn't have the time or energy to go on about it. I was assured everything would be good and the flowers would come today before my wife travels the next day. They never came. No notices have come about it at all. Nothing. And I kept asking the agent for understanding and empathy about the terrible situation, frustration, and breach of integrity repeatedly. Nothing. No ability to understand or empathize. Nothing rectified. I've lost so much time, energy, emotion, money, and opportunity to serve my wife in everything she's been going through. I'm appalled at this and ask for it all to be fully rectified. Being strung along is not at all okay. And taking my time and money like this without any regard whatsoever is inhuman.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:It's impersonal, unspecific, unempathic, not taking responsibility, not responding to what I said happened or what I was requesting, generic auto-generated stuff. A refund is not even a question because the flowers were never delivered. I couldn't get the flowers for my wife that I'd been planning for months so I had no flowers for her. It's embarrassing and awful. And I was on the phone for an hour with them to confirm it would happen, which was awful, then didn't happen. Then the same thing a second time for another long stretch, and assured the flowers would come, but they didn't while I was waiting for them. It's completely unacceptable. There's so much misleading. If I were at Teleflora, I would be investigating how on earth this could have happened and with multiple people, multiple times, and I would be profusely apologetic and extremely giving to the customer, assuring this will never happen again and how it will be certain that it doesn't by actually taking care of the issues. This makes clear that I should never use Teleflora again and if I were foolish to do so, I should then expect such things will repeat. Therefore discounts - which, by the way, they offer at 25% regularly at least for anyone are absurd. That's what people can get regularly just by subscribing to their mailing list. And I would never want to order from them again. So the discount is all the more useless. I don't want to be pandered to by any discount to give them more of my money for their services. I would never even think about doing that to a customer in a situation like this.
