Do NOT use 1800flowers!

DO NOT USE 1-800Flowers!

The people at 1800FLOWERS were supposed to deliver a basket of flowers
to my wife at work yesterday (SURPRISE!). I ordered them on Tuesday
before 8am for $50.00 + $16.50 shipping. She never received them.
After spending an hour on hold last night (5:30-6:30), the person I
talked to did not know what happened to my order. She was waiting on
the incompetent fools at the florist in Houston that 1800flowers uses
to call her back. She promised to call me back. She did not.

When I got up this morning, the 1800flowers.com order tracking webpage
stated the flowers were delivered at 8:30PM last night... to a closed
office... behind a locked gate. IOW the incompetent fools that
1800flowers uses in Houston lied.

I called them during my lunch break today. After being on hold for 35
minutes, the woman I talked to called their Houston florist (the
incompetent fools) and the florist stated that they needed another $30
to fill in the flower basket. When I was allegedly told about that
yesterday, and refused the additional charge, they canceled my order.
I NEVER HAD ANY SUCH DISCUSSION WITH THESE MORONS!

1800flowers are refusing to give me the name of this florist. I want
to confront them in my own special way. If you know who services
1800flowers in Houston, I want that information. It is somewhere near
the Greenspoint area.

I highly recommend you do not use 1800flowers!

I hope you got your money back. In fact I highly recommend you call
your credit card company and ask them to hold off paying them.

First, ask for a refund from 800flowers. If you get no satisfaction
then WRITE to your credit card company.
Send the dispute in WRITING to your credit company no later than 60
days.

I'm not sure, but I heard the limit was 30 days...

But in any case, I think Jane is right, you should write them too.

1800flowers said they would remove the charges, but I filed an online
dispute with the CC, because I now know 1800flowers employs liars.

Thanks.

Mike, I ALWAYS use ProFlowers. They have a SEVEN day freshness guarantee and
they always honor it. This time of the year you will get a lot of traffic,
so it is normal. ProFlowers delivered a package to mywife at ther work on
the 13th and it was already opening up. I tried to contact them on the 14th
twice and got frustrated by the time on hold. Tonight, I contacted a rep
after a 15 minute on line hold. The result: A complete re-shipment of the
oder for free and a voucher on my next order. Next time try ProFlowers -
also great Credit Card credit bonuses...

Look into small claims court. A bit of a dance with subpoenas and the Texas

In addition to your complaint, file a complaint with FTC.gov web site.
I did one and the phone rang a few days later. The retailer was
pleading for me to remove it. Sure, yeah right...not after he talked
to me like Mafioso from Brooklyn.

A few days later I was made whole. It worked in my case.

I've had several people suggest using ProFlowers (facebook,
woodworking forum, train forum)

I'll use them next time.

Thanks,

If they play around with my refund, I'll do it. I really do not see
our Precinct 4 judge being kind to them for not delivering flowers
that I paid for, to my wife on Valentine's Day.

Nope, it was a standard basket, ordered off of their web page (product
code 95425). They had my email and phone number, and never called me.
Fortunately, I printed out everything I ordered and everything on
their web order tracking pages.

According to 1800flowers customer service, their local affiliate
stated the flowers were delivered and also stated that they talked
with me about a mythical additional $30 and then decided to cancel the
order. Customer service would NOT give me the local affiliate's number
or address. I asked a number of times and they refused, each time.

I highly recommend 1800FLOWERS to hire immigrants. With immigrants,
the employer/customer gets more bang for their buck... Literally, if
the product/service is fireworks or male prostitutes.
