I can 100% guarantee you I don't have a smile on my face when I think of 1-800-Flowers! They sent me dead flowers and that was just the beginning. Here's my final email to them that sums up my expereince: So you are going to redeliver, issue a 50% refund and a $20 credit (which I will never use because of this experience). I accept this offer but I need to share something with you... I doubt this email will make it any further than you but it should go straight to the CEO. You sent me DEAD flowers. I guess that happens when you're a huge company that doesn't actually make a single flower arrangement, instead you outsource everything to questionable florists looking to make a quick buck. Receiving dead flowers was just the first smack in the face from your company. When I called THE FIRST TIME I was on hold for over an hour before I reached a representative. I explained the situation and requested a full refund. This representative never asked my name, order number, phone number or any additional information. Then he placed me on hold for about 10 minutes before returning to the call and pretending like he couldn't hear me. Then he hung up. No call back, no email... nothing! I had absolutely no way of holding him accountable for this act. The SECOND TIME I called I was on hold FOR ANOTHER HOUR. This time the first thing I asked for was the representative's name and ID number. Her name was Cheri but she refused to give me an ID number. I find it very hard to believe your representatives do not have any way of identifying them to hold them accountable. I also gave her my order number, name, phone number and email in case we got "disconnected" again. Well guess what? She put me on hold and never came back. I waited 30 minutes before hanging up. She never called back. She never emailed. It's clear your customer service staff plays games with your customers instead of handling the situation. It's for this reason I posted this review on every single site I could find. Unfortunately they all have a minimum rating of one star. You don't deserve a star. You deserve to go out of business for treating your customers this way. Sending me new flowers, a 50% refund and $20 credit doesn't even begin to compensate me for all the trouble you caused me. Not only did you lose me as a customer but millions of people will read this review and steer clear of your company because of this. Let this be a lesson. You messed with the wrong person.
