The bulb-of-the-month club that my sister ordered for my mom's 80th birthday didn't bloom well, even though I worked hard to get her something special. One of the items (shown) was missing a number of included flowers. When I tried getting a replacement, the process took more than a month. After thinking it was all settled, I kept getting notices that the item was out of stock, and now I had to pick another item. The call center is based in India, which never works as well as someone in the same country. I also got emails from different addresses. One was sketchy: *******@harryanddavid.com What on earth?! Does Wal-Mart now own Harry & David? No wonder it's gone downhill. I will never, never, never order from this company again. So disappointing because for what you pay, you should get the very best.
This is by far the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They charge me, got my email wrong, rescheduled my delivery date, called to verify delivery on the first date but was told I would get a new delivery date and would finally get a confirmation email sent. Still didn't get the confirmation. Called to request information on what is going on and got a new delivery date and still no confirmation. The phone customer service is AWFUL. They are so unclear on what is going on and rude. I have spent countless hours on the phone and currently there is still no resolution. At this point I just want a refund. It has been weeks that my order has not been delivered. F U!
I ordered a birthday present for some friends and it was to have been delivered on 10/25/2024. Harry & David cancelled my order and never bothered to notify me. I didn't find out until 3 months later (1/22/2025) and only because my credit card finally received a refund and my credit card company notified me. I contacted Customer Service to find out why it was cancelled and why I wasn't notified and they would not give me a straight answer. So, my friends did not get their gift, I was never notified that it was never sent, despite being guarranteed it would be delivered by 10/25/2024 and H&D Customer Service are refusing to tell my why they cancelled it (and hung unto my money for 3 months).
On Dec 5th I ordered two baskets as gifts to my attorneys office & tomorrow is February 1st and still no baskets & I'm tired of calling customer service.
Ordered a Bear Creek fruit and snack basket as a treat to myself. The pears were bruised due to bad packaging. Very unappetizing. Found out the basket was also missing the summer sausage. It's as if they rushed the shipping without regards to the food. Worse purchase ever and very overpriced for what you get.
I ordered a gift basket. It was never delivered. I ordered again. It was not delivered. No tracking numbers. Nothing. So called customer service kept hanging up on me. Am trying for a refund. So far no luck. This is a scam.
Harry & David has declined drastically, buyer beware! I ordered a basket for our mom at the beginning of December, the basket never arrived on its expected date. Customer service insured a replacement was on its way and would arrive by 12/24. It never arrived, I called the customer service number a total of eight times to resolve. My calls were either placed on hold for over 60 minutes on two occasions, and disconnect numerous times! I finally gave up after the eighth call. Will NEVER use this vendor again! I recommend using another more reliable service for your gift giving. I would give - 0 stars if possible.
Been using this company for over 25 years! Product and customer service has gone down the toilet. Sad. Was a class act. Now they ship spoiled pears (initial order and replacement order). My business is no longer important. Sad and angry. Suggested they let me mail these bad pears to their mother. You wait forever for a customer service agent. Just a bad company. Ruined my Christmas. Take your business to another company. Save yourself the grief.
Got five pears as a part of a gift. They were rotten. I reached out to their customer service - and it has so far been 1 hour and 51 minutes without resolution. I wish I could show you the messages. It feels like weaponized incompetence. At one point- after clarifying my name twice- they actually said "can you confirm the replacement is for Norma Bell?" And that is not my name. Nor is it the name I have already told them twice. What a clown show. An overpriced, crap quality clown show. I tried to write a Google review- but they must block it because otherwise the whole world would know how awful they are. So- I'm leaving this review on as many sites as I can find. Use any other service- just avoid Harry and David at all costs.
I ordered 3 beef pies, they never even shipped. One hour waiting on the phone to speak to an agent with no luck. They have had my money for 3 weeks. Tried chat line, no luck. I will never use this company again. Not acceptable. Nothing but lies
Received brown mushy pears literally thrown loose in the bottom of box. Cheese a melted sloppy mess and unidentifiable melted clumps of candy/chocolate/cookie items. Now THAT was the start of the heartache. Hours upon hours of attempted conversation to resolve. Customer service continuously disconnect to suit their narrative. Next agent, then next again and so on, have zero knowledge of prior conversation so ask same questions over and over, wearing you down little by little. You are told different stories which all turn out to be lies. Would you purchase anything at all with no hope of replacement when sent a bad product? If you wouldn't, stay away from ordering from this company.
I have had the worst service. I ordered on 12/7 checked on my order that was due 12/18. My order, after finally talking to a person, will not be delivered until after Christmas. I was first promised expedited shipping and then told that the gift would arrive on 12/21. After being transferred to numerous people and being on chat for over 3 hours, I have been told that my gift will not arrive until 12/26. I have received horrible customer service, horrible recordkeeping, was told that the order was unpaid (which was not true), it has been horrible. In the end, I was denied overnight shipping and was told that it was not in stock. I asked to substitute another item and was denied. I will never shop with the company and its brands again and will encourage my employer to avoid all future purchases with you. I have the transcript of the chat. Strangely, my order increased by $40 in shipping to be late.
Customer service is horrible. From placing the order, to tracking the order to never getting my order ( as they said it was back ordered) Still trying to get a refund.
Don't use them!
Normally a great product but incompetent customer service. Really long hold time as well.
Do not recommend, go elsewhere.
The pears were small with brown spots all over them. It was very.disappointing as it was.sent to me as a hostess gift. I know my family member would be very disappointed in this product.
I have ordered from Harry & David for the past 3 years for Christmas gifts and have had no problem in the past. This year was a completely different story. I ordered a couple of holiday baskets and placed the order early (several weeks ago) to be delivered December 23rd. They still haven't been shipped the gifts and now if they come it will be after Christmas. Have been told several different things from customer service. First thing they said was something was wrong with my card (no) and then one delivery would arrive December 24 (it didn't). They charged me additional shipping charges of $42 which I am now disputing with my credit card company. When I saw the charges for shipping pending on my card I called their 1800 # and let them know. They said they wouldn't charge me and would follow up with an email confirmation (nothing sent). Funny how they don't meet their shipping deadline then try to pawn off excessive "express" shipping charges onto the consumer. Truly, a beyond dismal performance and I will not be ordering from them, again. Probably not a great idea for a large company like 1800Flowers to have bought them out in the first place. Customer service just tells you what you want to hear and then act unethically in what actual takes place. It's an overseas call center and it is very difficult to communicate with their customer service representatives as they seem poorly trained to solve anything efficiently. Honestly, just wanted to keep it simple and give someone else some business other than Amazon (who frankly has been great to deal with).
Tried to correct delivery address immediately after creating order. Could not do it online or over the phone. Never received by recipient but paid for. Don't do business with these people.
They have the worse Customer Service I called yesterday and was on hold for two and a half hours, they are charging me double on the items I ordered, never got through to them, I will never order from them again, Keep away from this Company they don't speak ENGLISH!.
Received a 2nd gift box and both contained rotten fruit. Very disappointed, especially as this is my second basket of this mess.
I placed 3 orders prior to Thanksgiving, for delivery in December for Christmas.
2 orders were delivered, but I keep getting emails telling me that my choice will not arrive as scheduled and when I pick a replacement, no one acknowledges my change of selection to insure prompt arrival? Hold times on the phone are 3 hours long! I will NEVER use them again! BTW, I have used them in years in the past with no problems, but this year is a joke!
Answer: I'll be going to other companies NOW. Business LOST.
Answer: In the past this company offered excellent quality products--albeit a bit overpriced. Now the price is the same (or higher) but the quality has definitely gone downhill. Not sure if the company was bought out or what, but... I will never order from them again. They have done permanent damage to their reputation and their customer base is eroding quickly.
Answer: Why do you think any of these reviews have anything to do with Politics? That's pretty crazy assumption. My basket was 2 weeks late and that is not Political. It's facts.
Answer: I wasn't able to order products because of the quality of their customer service representatives.
Answer: It isn't difficult to reach them via phone, just be prepared for hold times. I would definitely recommend calling them rather than email, the email correspondence I had with them was hopeless.
