  • From You Flowers

12/21/20

Purchased some flowers for my sister that were to be delivered on Saturday, Dec 19th (her birthday). I ordered them Thursday, the 17th. I awaited a delivery confirmation Saturday and finally received one around 6:22PM. Email from From You Flowers said that they were delivered. I called my sister, excitedly, just to be informed that they were not delivered. I called the company (on the 19th) and was told again that they were delivered. I informed them that this was not the case and they said they would "get back to me". On the 20th, they called me back with the same comments. It was delivered. This is not possible, there is reception in the front and they never saw any attempt at delivery. I was put on hold and was then told, "nobody answered the door", "they couldn't find the address", & "nobody answered the phone". After informing her that there is not only a 24/7 mailroom, there is also a 24/7 person at the gate. And my sister has no missed calls. On top of it, if there were multiple issues, why was the order marked delivered when it clearly was not? So finally they say they will send my order out on Monday. After waiting all day for the delivery, I call again to see what is going on. I was assured the order would be rushed out first thing Monday morning. After sitting on hold, yet again, they tell me my order will be delivered by 6pm (it was already 430). At this point I was so frustrated that I simply demanded a refund. There is no reason my order was not delivered ESPECIALLY after being marked as so. This company is a joke. They attempted to call me a liar. They never intended to deliver the flowers. The customer service was not polite, fast, nor did it resolve anything. Do not use this company.

First of all, they're always advertising "free" gifts. You have to spend a minimum to get these gifts. They are NOT free. Now, they're all about going natural and helping the environment but they're so wasteful with packaging of products and such. I do actually like the paper towels and sponges but everything else is just ok. Mrs. Meyers stuff you can get at Target. The prices with Grove aren't anything special and I see it all as a pretty big waste (though I suppose it is nice for those that don't get out to shop often). Now. Here's the part that has me convinced not to reorder. In order to get me "free gift" I purchased some items to meet that minimum. When purchasing it automatically signs you up to receive monthly shipments. It preloads your cart and keeps your credit card on hand. I'm so glad I checked because I canceled that auto ship THREE times before it actually canceled. Then, I got my shipment (which took forever btw) and was missing an item I paid for. When I sent an email about it, they did send me my item (again, took forever) but then said "we'll add a free gift to your cart to make up for it!" And guess what... That free gift they gave me for messing up my order comes with a 55 minimum. It's just a way to get you to keep spending. That right there says to me that it's all a big joke. Listen, buy from Grove if it's convenient and you like the products. But watch pricing and automatic shipments and make sure you're receiving your items. And don't fall for the "free" stuff. It's not free. Promise.

Tip for consumers:
Seriously, don't fall for the "free" gifts and always check to make sure you got everything! Also, if you're subscribed to auto ship, check your cart often. If you unsubscribe, check that status repeatedly to make sure they actually cancel the auto ship and don't charge you!

Products used:
Mrs Meyers soaps (ok but don't get grease off of anything, not for heavy cleaning ). Charcoal soap for face and body h this was my missing item and since I just got it, I can't review it. Oatmeal soap for body (it's ok. Nothing incredible but I like it). Walnut sponge - actually love this. Mostly just because it airs out and dries so it takes longer to start to smell.. Paper towels h good quality. Toilet paper h not the softest buts it doesn't tear as easily as some; I'd use it again. Multi surface cleaner h it's ok but not excellent. Glass cleaner - basic glass cleaner. I feel like there were a few more items but I can't think of them (must not have made that much of an impact)

Thanks for the review, Steffany.

We've reviewed your communication and absolutely understand your frustration. It seems like you didn't receive all of the information about Grove and our services when you first signed up and we greatly apologize for this.

Having a Grove account comes with two completely customizable features, VIP Membership and scheduled recurring shipments, that can be used exclusively or combined to best meet your personal needs and preferences. These are optional and you are able to shop Grove without these, should you choose to.

As mentioned, there is a required $20 paid minimum on all first orders to redeem your free welcome bundle. We are so sorry if there was a miscommunication.

At Grove, we are always working on becoming more sustainable and reducing waste. Our packaging department does its best to pack your items using earth-friendly methods that will still get them to you safely. We are working to eliminate all plastic from our products and in the meantime are pushing for any plastic used to be post-consumer recycled, ocean plastic, or other innovative sustainable materials! We only pick plastic when it is a more vulnerable item. For safe shipping practices, all packages need to be secured so items inside the boxes do not shift while in transit. The paper packaging is also reusable and recyclable in many local municipalities.

We take all concerns and feedback on this matter very seriously, so if you have any suggestions, please let us know!

If there is anything else we can help you with, please reach out to us at reviewsupport@grove.co and we would be happy to help get this taken care of for you.

Best,
Team Grove
