CBS11 Investigates Online 'Florist' With Hundreds Of Complaints

[@gloriarice2478]

Order from your actual LOCAL florist! Support your local economy. People don't realize they order from wire services most of the time.

[@seannemairi]

that's why you never click on "results" that have the word "ad" next to it. it's not a search result, it's a paid ad. pay attention, y'all!

[@SolesOvaHoes]

Haha I didn’t think ppl actually clicked those

[@bluewaters1736]

I used flowers for you. what garbage...beginning to end.

[@gabym9830]

I work at a high end flower shop and worked with terry’s florist, they’re were always a pain, super low budgets and they are super unorganized when ordering for customers, we avoid them now lol.

[@brt5273]

From You Flowers is another one. The photos on the website are exactly the same as on theirs. Thousands of horrible Yelp reviews. Had a nightmare with them when i ordered glowers for a funeral. Was supposed to arrive day before funeral but didn't. Called and was promised priority delivery in the morning. Next day the tracking showed delivered but when i spoke with the funeral home they had not arrived. Called and the woman said delivered. I said no and provided the funeral home phone to verify. I talk with her again and she says they can still guaruntee delivery by the time of the funeral. Never arrived. I called back and she's still trying to tell me they will be delivered, just late. I say "MA'AM...THE FUNERAL IS OVER...COFFIN'S IN THE GROUND" She finally gave me a refund but nothing can fix the fact that i had no flowers for the funeral.

Troy's Florists no longer exists per my internet research, but now there's another one of these "services" named Avas Flowers that's also in NJ. I'd bet they just closed up the prior shop and started another one to scam people.

[@aprilgicker]

Avas has been around for over 20years. They are the same though.

[@katieperrigo7041]

I was scammed by one called Terri's Florist, same thing and also based in New Jersey

[@clairelivefreeordie2551]

Wow...everyone's so crooked nowadays 🙄

[@nl9802]

They are called order gathers

[@seabass9753]

I work in a flower shop in Jersey, and used to work with from you flowers, and others floral companies, and yes it’s true, usually the big floral companies keep the big bucks and we only get tiny portion of the money, but usually If we don’t have the flowers on the photos we try substituting or making it have the same feel and or value of flowers and roses. Always buy local, don’t buy from the big companies.

[@sammimccabe9387]

I unfortunately worked here for about 3 years from 2014-2017. the way we had to work was absolutely atrocious! I always felt like absolute garbage when I would clock in for my 10 hour shifts knowing in the back of my mind that the whole thing didn't seem right. I'm so glad he finally received the karma he deserves

[@barbaracriss667]

Ask if you can pick it up.... if they say no they are an ordergatherer like Troy's who I suspect is loosely somehow connected to Flowers with Gifted Elegance .... who we ran out of Delaware in the 90s

[@aimvero7166]

The florist that are real florist should not accept their orders.

[@JerryWilliamson]

We turn Avas down almost every day.

[@3xcalibur23_Music]

That's why i never order from unknown florist I always order from my near by florist they are cheap only charge me $8 for delivery and $1 taxes plus I give $5 extra I end up paying $45 to $48 for nice flowers I refuse to pay over $50 for just flowers I also sometimes go to my local grocery they be selling flowers under $30 and they look nice I take them to my mother or my Girlfriend stop paying over $50 under $50 delivered is okay at my local grocery store I pay $14.99 for 2 $35 I go home proud that I paid less than $50 when I'm buy I order online again only under $50. Always be smart. 😎

[@lamentation0078]

I will never ever ever order online !!!

[@bluemoonsoon8902]

Need subs at a Holiday!! Local florist, 40 yrs. , call centers hurt local businesses! Shop Local however call backs on subs are hard at holiday because of demand. If you want special treatment remember COVID it’s hard on supply and working 17 hrs with a mask.

[@TheRideout85]

just order from there may 14th for my anniversary and didn't receive the chocolates for $25 and they said the driver delivered them and I said no and the flowers were not close to advertise but I just wanted to be refunded for the chocolates and they wouldn't. Why are they at the top of the search engine and it is called blossom flowers delivery.

[@quarantinegaming7975]

Avas flowers also a scam

[@pamelaellis3582]

when you send flowers to a funeral home and they don't happen its horrific disgusting

[@thatgirlbrit2409]

I agree the flowers i ordered for my sister didn’t look anything like the picture. So you know i was disappointed.😐

[@brettwhitla4425]

BLOOMEX is running the same scam.

[@edithlove5085]

It’s called a wire service. There are thousands of wire service companies.. 1-800 flowers Is one for example and they are an enormous business

[@kc696969]

DON'T USE AVAS FLOWERS. NO SUPPORT, OVER SEAS ANSWERING SERVICE. NO ON TIME DELIVERY

[@oliviairvine7310]

They did a great job at covering her face lol

[@hpeteacher9445]

I ordered from Roger Florist! Do not order from them! Ordered flowers for my mom in the hospital. Ordered Rose's, it was canceled and was given a credit. NOT! SVAM!

[@BethAbustan]

[@jermainelindo6944]

#1 friendships ever

[@reycabrera9447]

I want to share the real truth This big companies charge a lots to the customer and florist the ones they do the work only get 50% of the whole amount including delivery With the 50% they need to cover Facility employees delivery flowers Vases etc That’s why they made it small using Any flowers they had just make Few backs Don’t order from this companies Call your local florist warranty you going to have good experience

[@MarsMan1]

Good Work!

[@bizzybeebudgets]

She had gerber daisies subbed for alstromeria .. I think that’s an upgrade. But to each there own.

[@ric.j.morris]

[@waudicas]

Eh... I have kinda same experience from an actual flower shop not far from DFW n they managed to get ‘red pink n white roses’ into yellow orange n red... Uh... n that was for Valentines as well so NO a physical flower shop is NOT better.

[@bluemoonsoon8902]

I’m sorry for your experience I wish to help you out some time.

[@waudicas]

Help me out how? It was an other person living in the US that paid it for me since I couldn’t do that myself bc I didn’t have that money, plus that you cannot order n pay from abroad due some trade regulations y’all got in the US, that’s what a other company told when I tried to place an order, the other person got pretty upset them as well n said that it was the worst flowershop they’d encountered ever.
