      Teleflora will not stop emailing me. I received 6 promotional emails just yesterday alone. I have unsubscribed multiple times and have emailed them multiple times as well. Please just make them stop emailing me.

Please stop ALL communication to me email immediately.

      Teleflora order # XXXXXXXXX Date: 8-30-2022. I ordered a bouquet of flowers "**** ***** Premium Bouquet" for ******* With a service charge of *** & tax, the entire order came to **** I chose this particular bouquet because it was bright & cheerful. It was intended for someone ***************** What I received was an arrangement completely different that what I originally chose. The flowers were old & wilted and again, not what I ordered. Flowers appeared like they could of been picked in a field off the side of a deserted road. I contacted Teleflora & the best they could offer is a *** credit. So I end up paying *** for flowers I didn't want or order. This is THEIR mistake and THEIR responsibility. It is shameful. They obviously take no pride in the quality of their work & reputation. I think I am due a full refund. I shouldn't have to pay for THEIR mistake. In the attached photo's the vase full of daisies is what I ordered, the other picture is what I actually received.

      I ordered a special sympathy arrangement for my best friend who just lost her mother and lived out of state. The arrangement was the same one I had received personally after I lost my Dad a few months ago.
      I chose the "Premium' level and even with a discount spent over $100.
      I was mortified when my best friend sent we a picture of the arrangement that was not close to Premium and did not resemble the one I chose specially for her. The flowers where not what were shown and certainly not the quality. I could have bought supermarket flowers and made a better arrangement. I sent pictures of what I ordered and paid for as well as what was delivered to Teleflora customer service and basically got "Sorry you were disappointed". I'm beyond disappointed, I'm embarassed and was ripped off by misleading information provided when choosing where and what to order for a special friend. I tried numerous times to resolve this but was unsuccessful.

      I ordered a Victorian floral arrangement on 7/28/2022 that had pale colored roses and chocolates for my mother's 80th birthday who lives in another state. It was sent and delivered 08/03/2022 through a local florist. I paid $92 and change. It was supposed to have had roses and babies breath in it and was in a Victorian looking teacup.
      What my mother received did not reflect picture. The arrangement she received had carnations and some other purple flowers and poor looking half wilted roses in it.( I have pictures of what she received. ) I am very dissatisfied with what I thought I was paying for and what as received. I ordered well in advance to ensure that I was going to get what I ordered, I did not.
      They also forgot the chocolates but did deliver those later.
      Overall a very expensive and dissatisfying experience.
      I did reach out to Teleflora customer service and never heard back.
      I have included a photo of what was received. Thank you.
      Note. My address is in this form. My order was delivered to

      I ordered from Teleflora, for the third time in a few months, and again, my order was delivered a day late, and was nothing like what I ordered. I ordered and paid for a live plant, dish garden, and my recipient received a very paltry vase of a few white cut flowers, not even nice ones. I paid *** for this and it was late. I see lots of similar complaints, this company needs to be shut down. I can't reach them and request a full refund and that what I ordered be actually delivered to my recipient. This is criminal and should be illegal. People order flowers for important occasions and this it taking advantage of people in the worst way.

      The order to ******** was also incorrect, but that was months ago, this is order was to ************* and I ordered ************ dish garden and what was delivered, a day late than it was supposed to be, was a very small vase of white cut flowers, which is nothing like what I ordered. How can you do that and think it's ok? This was the 3rd experience like this. I also ordered in February, a ************ which was pictured in a nice "zen" looking planter, but my recipient actually received a very common looking house plant, NOT a money tree and it was in a basket. You MUST deliver what is pictured, or at least much closer than these replacements AND deliver on the day stated as these occasions are very date sensitive. People need to have confidence when ordering from you, that you will deliver what they see pictured, and on the date they order delivery for, or you have zero credibility, and I will not order from you again and am advising others to stay clear as well. You cannot operate this way. You should deliver to my recipients, what I had ordered and paid for.

      I placed a flower order online with Telefllora on 7/22 (Order XXXXXXXXX) for a ******* service of a family member.. The total cost was ******* - and the picture provided on line was absolutely beautiful and large (makes sense as the bouquet was quite expensive). 4 families split the cost and we anticipated the flowers would live up to our expectations. When we arrived at the ******* home we were surprised to see a dinky arrangement that only resembled the picture in that it was indeed purple. We were embarrassed (especially me as I was in charge of ordering them). My husband and I refunded our family members and apologized to them. I sent an email to Teleflora on Monday July 25th - They offered a refund of ****** -which hasn't happened yet - and I doubt ever will. This is the email I sent them-

      Please consider this a complaint for the flowers delivered on this order.
      We paid ******* for a flower arrangement that looked pathetic.
      Other flowers at the ******* - that cost a lot less looked a million times better than these.
      4 families collected and paid for what we thought were going to be beautiful flowers. Frankly, we were embarrassed to even say that they were from us.
      Please advise as to how we file formal complaint....Or should we just create a review online for Teleflora?
      I imagine the florist that sent these - Maybe didn't anticipate that we would see them - Shame on them for cheating a grieving family.

      So disappointed - and feel like we were cheated.

      I don't usually complain - But I want others to read this complaint so maybe they will chose a different flower provider.
