      On May 19, at approximately 10:30 AM, I ordered via Teleflora an arrangement, THE PEACEFUL CLOUDS, bouquet. It was to be delivered that day. I recd a speedy confirmation that my card was charged. At 5:33 PM I emailed customer service advising that I had not recd a confirmation regarding delivery. At 5:38 PM ****** *., a Teleflora **** advised me that the florist had sent an automated delivery confirmation that delivery was made at 6 PM and signed for by (no identifying name, just elipsis). Even though this supposed signed for delivery was for 6PM and we are communicating at 5:33PM (time traveler??) I went along with the farce and asked for a copy to be sent to me. I was advised that due to automation, a copy could not be provided. I exchanged emails with Teleflora until 9:35PM. On 3/20, I contacted the funeral home and asked for the records for 3/19, in the *********** be checked. I was advised that on 3/19 TWO arrangements had been received for the deceased. The last one was received at 11:15 AM. Clearly something is amiss with Teleflora. WARNING TO OTHERS: USE your local florist, convenience can cost!

      I ordered a sympathy bouquet for a friend and when it arrived she posted it on social media and I was appalled a how wilted the flowers were. The center flower was terrible and it was embarrassing. I cant believe they even sent that to someone. I want my money back!! and not a credit either as I don't order flowers regularly!! This was over $60 and it looked like a dollar store bouquet!!

      I placed two orders on Teleflora for their towering ficus which is a Benjamina ficus in the photos. Exactly what I wanted. The order was placed for my father and another for my aunt after my grandmother passed away the previous evening. They were set to deliver today. I was pleased with the speed. Then I got a photo of what had been delivered to my father. It was not the same item. Not even close. I called customer service and relayed the issue. And immediately I was told they can no longer guarantee the exact same arrangement would be delivered from what is ordered. arrangement? I didnt order flowers here. I ordered two trees. I expected two trees or someone getting back to me to say sorry they didnt have any. They offered me a refund for the one order but refused to on the second one which as of this writing has not quite been delivered yet today. So I anticipate having to call them a second time. I asked for a redelivery of the correct item and they said they could not make a redeemer this late in the afternoon (they stop at 2pm. Its 2:36 local time right this second as Im writing). I was incensed. I cant believe they delivered such poor service as that. The refund is the only thing they extended. They made no attempt to solicit future business from me with any offers of discounts for future orders or anything. ********! Insulting! Not to mention an enormous waste of my time and a major personal embarrassment. Never again. Avoiding this one and all other companies like them in the future. Wide birth!

      I ordered a plant for an employee who's son passed away. Teleflora had pictures of what was sent. The item that was received was about a quarter of the size and did not look anything like the picture of what I ordered. They also charged me for this large plant of ******. They are ripping people off and taking advantage of people who are grieving.

      Although I accept the refund, I think there are internal processes that need to be made better. The flowers were not what I ordered, not a single flower in the bouquet was the same as what I ordered, it was so much smaller than a premium bouquet should be, and later that same day I was called and notified that you were unable to make my deliver. After already delivering. There are serious problems within your business.

      The premium Be My Love Bouquet with Red Roses bouquet of flowers I received is much, much smaller than what I **** The arrangement didn't even look nice and was sloppy. I also received a clear vase rather than a red, that was also advertised. I thought I was sending my wife a professional arrangement and she received something that could have come from ********I tried contacting customer service, but all that was available was sending an email through their site, but once I pressed "send email" all that is shown is "FORBIDDEN REQUES". Which means i have no way of getting this resolved through the company.

      I ordered a specific bouquet for my mother for Valentines Day and the order was incorrect, missing items and NOT delivered until the next day. I paid additional money and a tip for my order to be delivered on time, February 14th. I was not contacted by anyone from Teleflora regrading any substitutions or delays. I did a chat with customer services and was told to call a number that routed me to a voicemail to leave a message. No one has bothered to contact me to discuss my order and their error and lack of customer service.

      Order Number: ********** Telefora charged me a surgarge to gurantee my flowered be delivered by 1 PM. They were not and when I reached out they said opps, we don't actually do delivery by 1 PM it is 7 PM and there's nothing we can do. This is bait and switch and they were hoping I didn't complain and they could keep this surcharge even though they had NO INTENT to deliver by 1PM. Terrible business!
