I paid $30 extra for a large bouquet. I received a picture of the bouquet and was horrified and embarrassed by the quality and size. It looked nothing like what was advertised. I immediately called to have them redelivered and communicated my frustration. The florist redelivered, but the bouquet still was very small and looked nothing like what I ordered. I understand that an exact duplicate of the picture is impossible, but a large number of roses and other flowers were not there and there wasn't even the slightest resemblance. Paying for a large bouquet is not worth it, and the quality is BAD. I would not recommend buying.

Thieves!
October 22, 2016

I ordered flowers to be delivered internationally. I was offered the option of next day delivery and selected that. The following day, I received both an email and Facebook message confirmation that the flowers had been delivered. When I didn't hear from the recipient, I decided to double check that the flowers had been received. I was informed that they had NOT received the flowers. I contacted 1-800-Flowers via both email and Facebook messenger. In the email response, I was told that international delivery takes two days. On Facebook, I was told that they were unable to locate a local florist and my money would be credited within 30 days. 1) Which was it? 2) Had I not contacted the intended recipient, I would never have known the flowers weren't delivered and 1-800-Flowers would have kept my money. 3) There was NO WAY this was a mistake. Either the flowers were delivered or they weren't. They either have a local florist or they don't.

Interestingly, FTD delivered the flowers the day after I placed that order. I guess they had no trouble finding a local florist.

1-800-Flowers are thieves and frauds.

AWFUL, just bad!
September 17, 2016

My husband ordered a dozen yellow roses for my birthday. First, they didn't arrive on the designated day! Then they weren't even rosesa mixed annual flower arrangements with 3 roses! When he called, they offered him $20 off his NEXT order! After getting the credit card company involved, the correct arrangement arrived 2 days later! Yes, it was beautiful! But do yourself and local florists a break and order locally, that way the fee stays in your community and you can trust what you get!

SCAM SCAM SCAM
July 29, 2016

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

1 800 Flowers is a complete scam. My sister ordered flowers for my mom's birthday a week prior to the delivery date. They arrived on her birthday, but completely dead. I called customer care to give them a chance to right their wrong and they did...! Except they didn't, they just told me they did. The woman on the phone initially said the next available delivery would be the following Tuesday (four days after my mom's birthday.) I told her that was unacceptable and she said she arranged a local florist to deliver them later that afternoon.

Twenty minutes later, my sister received an email from 1-800-Flowers saying they would not be able to deliver flowers today and it would have to wait until tomorrow.

This company ruined my mother's birthday and I will never use them again. HORRIBLE customer service.

Pathetic
July 12, 2016

Forget this totally incompetent company. Today was your third strike. They called us this morning so they may deliver and left us a message. We called back wiyhin ten minutes and heard nothing but a crying baby and other noise, then they hung up. We called back a few minutes later and it goes to voice mail where we left a message. No call back. Called the main 800# and they seemed to know who the "crying baby "was and said they could deliver between 1100 am and 7 pm two days from now.
We have tried this useless incompetence company twice before, sending and receiving, and they either screw up as stated, wrong, or substandard product or the entire order is incorrect. Pathetic!
Use anyone other than 800flowers.

I ordered flowers on a Friday (6/24) for a Saturday (6/25) delivery. The website confirmed the zip code and offered me gift boxes versus an arrangement that's put together by a florist. I chose the arrangement and was excited about my mom-n-law receiving her flowers on her birthday. They did not call me back to explain they could not deliver the flowers until the day of delivery.

Yes... Saturday morning, I receive a call stating that there was no florist close enough to deliver to the address requested. I was so upset because we were waiting to hear from Mom about the delivery. 800Flowers stated that I would receive a full refund in about 7-10 days. That made me even more upset because it took 2 seconds to get it out of my account but 7-10 days to put it back.

I do not think I will use them again because one of the reviews on Yelp stated that we all should just use a local florist anyway to avoid paying the mark up price. I have had some good experiences with 800Flowers but I am very disappointed this time and the $20 gift card I was promised really does not help!

I ordered flowers on Friday for Saturday delivery and kept checking the delivery confirmation - they kept promising me they would be delivered - they never did - I cancelled my order and will never order from them again. They wouldn't even tell me why they weren't delivered and now the florist is closed till Tuesday because of the Memorial Holiday.

Wow! I wished I had looked at this site before I ordered my bouquet this morning. I am just another addition to all the horrible reviews. Ordered my bouquet with a guarantee same day delivery. When I called to find out why I had not received an order confirmation, they explained they had not delivered and we're not going to deliver. Tried to give me a 20 dollar voucher for next time. What! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

WORST PLACE EVER!
May 23, 2016

Wasted my time on their site finding a beautiful floral arrangement. I placed the order over a week before mother's day. It did arrive on mother's day but looked nothing like what I had ordered and they didn't put a card the card with it so she had no idea who they were from. I contacted 1-800-flowers and was told that they would send another arrangement on May 9th. She received nothing. Contacted them again to let them know and was told again that another arrangement would be scheduled for delivery on May 11th. Still nothing. I contacted them yet again and requested a full refund. They told me that they would give a 50% credit and discount coupon. I finally agreed to get this over with. As of today May 23rd I still have not received my 50% credit. So I contacted them again regarding the credit but I don't figure I will ever receive it at this point. Will never use them again ever!

1-800-flowers does not honor their 100% Smile Guarantee

I ordered flowers for my 89 yr. Old mother.

My mother & dad were not at home when they attempted delivery. The company 1-800-flowers hired to deliver the flowers left a note on their door saying that the flowers were at the sales office. My Dad thinking they were at the sales office of the vendor drove all the way into town to check on the flowers only to be told they were at the main office of the mobile home park in which they lived.

Upon getting the flowers which were wilted, and after all the trouble they went to retrieve the flowers, my mother called me and asked that I never send her flowers again.

This entire episode has upset me terribly as my Mother does not have many more Mother's Days to celebrate.

Upon calling customer service to complain the first agent I spoke with said they would get another bouquet to her.

As of Tuesday [2 days after Mother's Day] she still had not received any replacement flowers so I called to totally cancel the order and was told I had to send photos to get a full refund even after explaining that my Dad and Mom are almost 90 and I was several states away.

I did manage to get photos which were sent to 1-800-flowers only to be told that a partial refund and a discount on another order was all that they would do.

This is definitely not my idea of a 100% Smile Guarantee.

Needless to say I am not impressed and will never use them to provide flowers again.

Highly disappointed in the entire experience! Ordered flowers for my Mom on Mother's Day, they were to be delivered by 11:30 AM on Sunday the 8th of May(which cost extra I might add). By 1 pm I was getting a little concerned that they still hadn't showed up. Called the 800 number for some customer service, that's laughable. I was told that they're florist had decided they would no longer do that arrangement and so no flowers were going to my Mother. Their florist claims that they tried to call me but could not leave a voicemail. Unfortunately, I had no missed calls and I have Sprint service so my voicemail does not "fill up" like some other providers. When I asked to speak with a supervisor I was repeatedly put on hold for stretches of time and then told "Sorry, I cannot find a supervisor". Finally after the 4th or 5th time when I would not accept that as an answer he transferred me to a supervisor. When I asked her how I was to get flowers to my Mother who lives 3 states away at this hour on Mother's Day(also, Sunday) she told me I should "just try Walmart". Thanks 1-800-Flowers... I knew I should have stuck with FTD.

Tried 3X over past 3 months. Failed to Deliver on the special occasions 2 out of 3 opportunities (Birthday; Mothers Day) despite the order being placed well in advance and despite the delivery date being 1 day before due date to allow for margin. You pay them a boatload in shipping fees (many times it is almost the cost of the product itself) and they can't even make that delivery on time. Would suggest you go back to FTD if you really want flowers delivered.

I received a dozen roses for Mother's Day. Flowers arrived dry with brown edges around the roses. Then on top of that when I handled them the leaves started falling off all over the place. Terrible quality... rose buds were on the small side not of the quality I have seen elsewhere. Don't buy from them. Disappointing to say the least.

I wish this would let me post a picture of what i ordered vs what was actually sent. Subpar, downgrade for the money spent, and looks like I went the cheapest route possible to send flowers to my Grandmother on Mother's Day. I will never do that again.

I made the mistake of ordering flowers for Mother's Day from this disreputable company.
I ordered them (at an outrageous price for the record) to be delivered on the Thursday before mother's day to my mom's work.
They did not arrive on Thursday. Thursday evening I called and they apologized and agreed to have them delivered to her home on Friday since she was not working on that day. It should come as no surprise that they are not being delivered Friday either. After 7 phone calls. Yes 7. The florist at first claimed that they had to delay the order to Sat because the address changed. (Because THEY DID NOT DELIVER WHEN THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD). Then a manager called them and come to find out they didn't have the flowers needed for the arrangement. And I could chose a new bouquet, but no way to happen before Sat.
I now have no flowers, and I have to wait 3-7 days for my money to come back to me. That was all the money I budgeted for Mother's Day. Now I have no money to get her a gift at all.
I will never buy flowers from this company again. They do not communicate with the florists, they do not verify and they certainly do NOT keep their word.
