ProFlowers Reviews and Complaints

P.F. advertised on Fox News re. Mother's Day promotion of one dozen roses with a free glass vase for $9.99. After I processed an order ,which was an ordeal in itself, the total came to over $40.00, including a $1.00 charge for long stem roses. Don't waste your valuable time with these sham artists. Their were also instructions to enter a code denoting Fox. There was no allowance for this code and when I tried to enter it in promotion category. It was rejected. I'm suppose to enter at least 100 words but I have nothing else to add.

I wanted to send a beautiful arrangement of roses to my aunt for her bday. I went with this company based on price, picture of rosé arrangement and delivery...although my aunt was happy with her gift which came in a box and she had to arrange...I'm upset because his information was not disclosed. Not to mention she sent me a picture of the flowers she got...I was immediately upset n embarrassed...false advertising and definitely not worth the 75 dollars it cost me. I should have just sent her the money so she could spend it on something worth it. Next time I'm calling a local flower shop in the area instead...so disappointed

I placed an order with a 15$ coupon ( including an additional free vase) that was confirmed as 40.68$ and got to the confirmation page as if everything was fine. SEVERAL hours later I got an email confirmation that charged me $61.45 and listed several additional charges, including charging me for the vase which was supposed to be completely free, as well as Saturday delivery ($4.99) which was never mentioned. AND they charged me $12.99 for shipping instead of the $5.99 that was listed on the order page. I called a customer service rep who IMMEDIATELY acknowledged the mistake as if she deals with it EVERY other call and she charged me the correct amount and said I would receive an email confirming the correct amount. HOWEVER I was still sent an email confirmation for even more money this time ($64.61), and had to spend an additional 20 minutes on the phone to get this resolved. All and all I spent over 2 hours on the phone with them today and an additional 30 minutes emailing customer service. Moving forward I WILL NEVER EVER even think about using them, and you should run as far away as possible as they are a total bait and switch scam shop. TRUST ME, RUN!! As fast as you can

I just submitted my online order with proflowers.com and I was unpleasantly surprised. I had seen a special on Mother's Day flowers for $19.99 - quite a deal, right? So I went ahead with it. Throughout the checkout process I am seeing that shipping is $5, and a personalized greeting card is an additional $3...I raised an eyebrow but kept going. I keep clicking through the stages, expecting to eventually be shown a summary of my order before I submit...then suddenly I enter my billing information, click continue and 'Thank you! Your order has been confirmed' 'What order?' I have to wonder. It turned out I was being charged two shipping fees - one 'standard' ($13) and one 'guaranteed' ($5) - as well as a $3 fee for "Care & Handling." This is in addition to the card fee, and all applicable taxes. My total order came to over $48. (Another reviewer made a great point about the redundancy of a 'Care & Handling' fee. Doesn't care and handling essentially mean the packers and delivery people doing their jobs responsibly? Why should there be a fee attached to that? When I go to McDonald's do I have to pay additional fees to keep my server from dropping my fries on the floor? The whole idea is strange.) I got a customer service rep on the phone within seconds of reaching the Thank You page. I asked the operator to cancel my order so I could start over but she said it wasn't possible, and that my order was already processed (I had just clicked 'okay' 45 seconds earlier!). When I tried again in a few minutes, another operator managed to refund the bogus $5 shipping fee, but clearly she was at a call center overseas, and not directly associated with the company, and so there was only so much she could do. I want to make it clear that I have no problem spending $50 on my mother...I am happy to do it. It's the idea of spending $20 on my mother, then handing over $30 to some other company in the form of hidden fees, that bothered me. For 50 dollars, I could have gone to a brick and mortar store and gotten something really GREAT for my mom. Also, I am convinced that the itemized charges weren't shown to me until after I checked out, and without that confirmation screen, you might not even know you're submitting an order at all until it is too late and you have clicked 'continue' one too many times. In the future I will take great caution in dealing with this company. I should have trusted my gut instinct that something was off when I started checking out. I get the feeling this company knows what it's doing with its subversive price advertising and its dodgy checkout process. It is almost as though I wasn't supposed to know how much I was being charged until it was too late to make changes...conveniently enough for them. In the meantime I am just hoping the flowers reach my mother on time, and that they are pretty. Although after reading the reviews here regarding the quality of Proflower's arragements, that might be too much to ask as well! We will see.

I ordered two different orders, one in April, one in May. They used the same order # for both! So the May delivery was not delivered because it looked like the same one from April, and they didn't bother to call me about it until a week after the funeral they were suppose to be delivered to!! On top of that, when I called after receiving an automated voice mail stating the order # ___ was set to be delivered on April ____ and to call customer service, the *** lady couldn't understand ME (she said I had a funny accent and to articulate, while she on the hand spoke broken English) and she couldn't even figure out why the order numbers were duplicated, why nobody informed me sooner of the mix up, and how to even refund me. It turns out while on the phone with her, I figured out what had happened and logged online to find out the May delivery had been taken off of hold for an invalid delivery date and re-scheduled to be delivered in three weeks. Talk about shady! I wonder when she would have told me about this, but instead cancelled the order and because the new delivery date was for later, got an automatic refund for cancelling. This whole ordeal has caused a huge embarrassment on my part because it made me look like an uncaring friend to the deceased's family. Do not use them!! I now would rather make my own spread and delivered it than go through their services again.

Be aware that this company offers you a low price but adds a number of fees at the very last stage of your order (after acquiring all your credit card info etc.). The final price (which in my case was nearly twice of the announced price) was almost invisible and placed in an aria of their web site where it could easily be overlooked (what actually happened during my ordering process). Since there was no option to cancel the order - I had to *** into it. This is not fair business but rather a ripoff. Don't do any business with this company!
