I've used FromYouFlowers two times - both were gifts for an out-of-state recipient. The first purchase went smoothly, the flowers were lovely and as advertised, and were shipped by UPS with on-time delivery. The second purchase was a total debacle because FromYouFlowers failed to provide the local florist with the complete delivery address as provided by me, including apartment number and recipient's telephone number. The local florist (Mary-Lu Fresh Flowers in San Jose, CA) made a delivery attempt on the requested date, but lacking this complete information, the driver simply returned to the shop. After some sleuthing, I found the name, address, and telephone number of the florist and the recipient drove to the florist shop two days later. To the florist's credit, they prepared a fresh bouquet. All communications with FromYouFlowers were ineffectual -- they simply add another layer of bureaucracy and chance of miscommunication to the transaction. They fail to tell you the method of shipment (UPS, FedEx, or hand delivery) or give a tracking number if available. Use the telefora findaflorist website instead (www.findaflorist.com) and communicate directly with a reputable local florist.

This site is populated by stale profiles. All of the women within a 100 mile radius of my location had not been active for >3 months. Any messages received are "introductions" that are auto-generated by the system.

This site is a scam filled with fake profiles. Initially one is impressed with the number of local women and interesting profiles, but look closer: (1) the writing style is virtually identical for all of the profiles, (2) many of the photos are suspicious, for example black & white, (3) the responses are "one liners" with no relevance to your message; in fact, I received the same one-line response from multiple women. And I tried sending messages to at least 20 local members listed as recently active. Read the Terms & Conditions carefully, where they refer to your required acceptance of their "Online Emissaries". At first glance this seems to be an innocent way to promote communication among the membership, but it is really carte blanche for the site developer to generate fake profiles and scam your money. According to the Terms & Conditions, Online Emissaries can be turned off at your request. When I submitted an email with this request, my account was cancelled.

This site is populated by stale profiles. All of the women within a 100 mile radius of my location had not visited in >3 months -- 38 pages of women! I live within a major US metropolitan area. If you look carefully at the photos and videos, they show dates as old as 2008 (it is now 10/2016). Online "reviews" praise NoStringsAttached, but they are either fakes themselves or compensated for their "review." Stay away!
