“Great Job!”

They were out of what I originally ordered for my fiancé. But in place was even a better beautiful plant. Her co workers loved it and so does she! I am more satisfied with this order than any before… thanks so much!

“Scammmmmmmmm”

This company is a scam. They claim they can change based on availability of their flower arrangements but WITHIN the same type and following the arrangement chosen. So what they do is create a mediocre arrangement that looks absolutely nothing like the one ordered and not the size specified making the customer feel embarrassed and angry realizing what the recipient received! Not to mention the worst customer service ruining in this case a Birthday. I need accountability from this company. I am beyond disappointed. NEVER ORDER FORM THEM!

The title of the review says it all: flowers ordered, credit card charged (including ridiculously high fees and add-ons from Avas) and the bouquet simply never showed up. Avas provided tracker is no help either, it simply states that the details are unavailable, and are the domain of FedEx, USPS or the local florist - except Avas doesn't provide any of that information, just their internal order and tracking number. Avoid at all costs!

Tip for consumers:
They're straight garbage.

I tried to secretly orders for my wife, she loves Daisies. I ordered the largest bouquet they offered. They. Called back and said that the designer's in our area only had. 4 Gerber Daisies in our entire area. I said to cancel the order, I'll look elsewhere. The lady said that they would add other flowers as fillers, so after a couple of phone calls, I agreed, They said the order would be there around 5:00, I said five was late but they had to be there by 5. She then said for sure by 6 but that they deliver until 7.
I got home at six and my wife hated the small bouquet of flowers, and why did they text her 3 times and called her one time. So the surprise was over and she was actually mad at me for spending $88.00 on a set of flowers that was an oversized corsage. I will never buy from them again. I ran out to Kroger and got a large bouquet of flowers for $30 and she loved them. Thanks Kroger!

I ordered a balloon bouquet for a friend who's in a nursing home. I was shocked when after entering my credit card service fee $24.95 popped up. I couldn't cancel or stop it. Worst of all the card did not include name of sender. Bad. Bad. My friend didn't know who it came from!

Tip for consumers:
Sender’s name was left off the card.

My friend sent me flowers recently. She got a text that they delivered them but I never received them. After much back and forth between she and Avis and I and Avis they agreed to send again.

They sent with overnight UPS delivery, but they weren't picked up for a day and arrived after five days. Needless to say the flowers were very dead and very stinky. They went into the trash. This is the third time friends have sent me flowers from Avis Flowers aka 1-800-Flowers and the flowers were dead upon arrival. I would never recommend this company.

Tip for consumers:
Run and use a local well respected florist in the city or town you are sending the flowers from and the recipient lives.

The flowers were s gift to me each time.

I ordered this morning at 8am for a delivery for today paid $136. I was calling all day as I got no time frame of delivery. Finally got a hold of someone to only be hung up on I called back and they said they were closed. I will never order from this florist again and I guess the delivery won't happen till tomorrow and no one will be home to except it as she will already be in the hospital. So unhappy

Tip for consumers:
This was for someone that was going to the hospital tomorrow and was important they got it today but that will not happen nor do I know when they will get it

If i could give them a 0 i would. Absolute scammers. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Apparently they have changed names to Terrys flowers. BEWARE. My flowers got to my family member 3 days late and they were dead. In the process of trying to get a refund. Good luck to me.

I recently ordered flowers for a visitation and funeral and the flowers were not there. I called customer service several times and got the run around. They told me that the flowers were given to the funeral director, but I looked at all the flowers and mine were not there. I never got a resolution or my money back. Don't use this company unless you have money to throw away.

Tip for consumers:
Go with a local florist. I paid for a product I did not get.

This florist is awful. So far my delivery is a day late and still have no update on when it will be delivered. They keep telling me I need to call to resolve but I have told them multiple times that I am deployed and do not have phone service for making calls. Besides I paid enough money to not have to call. You already have my money. Deliver my order!

It took the florist 4 days to deliver. The bouquet was not pretty at all. Total embarrassed at what they sent Also it was twice as expensive as what it was advertised. Our family WILL not us this service again. I have done flower arrangements for 40 years. This was awful, all the same colors.

Ordered flowers for sons funeral. Adequate time for florist to fulfill order. My 3 daughters also ordered flowers. All paid for on line. On evening of viewing at funeral home, our flowers were not there as promised. Checked with funeral director who confirmed that no flowers had arrived. My daughters called Avas only to confirm our order had been received but was not able to be filled. What? No phone call or any notification from Avas. These flowers were for my son! How could they do such a thing? Yes we were given a refund a few days later but that did nothing to produce the hundreds of dollars worth of flowers that we ordered for my son!
If you are reading this, please do NOT ever order from Avas.

Tip for consumers:
That they were not able to fulfill our order in time for us to order elsewhere.

I ordered 4 arrangements from this place and the 3 that got delivered were not what I ordered and paid for, instead they were smaller and cheap looking. The 4th arrangement was never delivered. Stay away from this place. No one at AVA flowers has returned my calls or emails. I was really hoping this was my new florist.

Ripoff is an understatement! $10 fee for same day delivery is bad enough, but an additional $29 for a "service fee" to cover same day delivery as well?! Flowers that arrived were wilted and half dead. Embarrassing! NEVER, EVER use this company!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Order flowers for funeral and paid expedited delivery fee. They didn't bother to deliver or to alert me of the status. They sourced it out to a local florist. No one answered. They did offer to deliver them another day. What is the point of delivering funeral flowers another day?

I ordered flowers for a hotel delivery for an employee that was graduating. I paid extra for same day delivery. They called me after hours to tell me they would not be delivered until the next day. Would not refund me. I am so sorry I did not check their reviews before I ordered. Totally ruined his surprise.

If I could give them a -0 I would. I ordared flowers for a lived ones memorial service that were never delivered, they charged me the next day. I have filed a claim with my cc company to get my moneyback. Check the yelp and BBB reviews b4 ordering from this horrible company. It should be shut down immediately.

These people pose as an actual flower shop and they are not. They are order gatherers taking your order then keeping 50% of it sending it to a flower shop only giving them the other 50% so if you spent 80 the shop gets 40 and then they have the nerve to cancel an order a week a month or three months after it's been done and try and take that other percent from the florist. They are thieves and criminals. Stay away from them call your local flower shop.

Tip for consumers:
Call local flower shop stay away from wire services that are just scamming the flower shop and the customer

I am a florist there what we call order gatherers working through a company called bloomnet they send orders to flower shops wait several days sometimes months and then cancel the order and take the money back from our accounts I have a dispute with them currently over this exact situation and can show proof and documentation in regards to an order being delivered and except it and then Avis waiting a week later to cancel it and take my money back out of my account

Do not order from Avas. So jipped and embarrassing. Send saddest version of a $130 order. Awful, embarrassing sent wilted and was so beyond cheapest quality not 1 flower i bought! Then they pathetically want to pick up up a wilted wrong sad bouquet 5 days later! From an RN supervisor in a nurse facility How sick! Embarrassing no money back which i beg. She returned flowers on hercown 2 days later, still no refund. So awful. Never use.

Horrible mistakes. Ruined everything dont care. Ripping money out of my pocket. Dandelion delivery.

I ordered an upgrade on the plant I ordered. From 4 to 6. Total came out to over $100 for plant and delivery. The plant my friend got looked nothing like in the picture and there were only 3 different ones in the basket. I am very dissappointed and plan to never order from here again.

Ordered flowers to send to my niece in Atlanta for her graduation day. Made sure the florist was local - or thought so - Ava's flowers showed a physical google maps address in the Toco Hills neighborhood within a mile of my sister/ niece's house. After order placement I noticed a $28 (!) service charge added to my order in the final step (on a $75 bouquet). It looked scammy, so I tried to call and make sure the flowers would be delivered the day requested, told them to leave at door if no answer (even though someone would be home all day). First two times phone didn't work. Then a voice message in Spanish came on. Third time a person answered in English. Assured me my arrangement would be delivered that day by 5pm. Flowers never delivered. My credit card charged over $120, trying to get my money back. Crooks.

I ordered some flowers, the couldn't get what I ordered so they called me said they will upgrade and 20% discount, but I wanted a certain color so they said they have that color but couldn't give discount. I agreed but it took the 2 day later and they were already late. Then barely purple and the flower they promised not in arrangement. This is second tome I used them, I won't use them again.

The Peace Lilliy we bought for a funeral service was gorgeous. It got there in an amazing amount of time and I was so thankful for their service and the quality. I would buy from them again any day. Thank you!

Tip for consumers:
It was so convenient that they delivered to a small town in the middle of nowhere that no local florist deliver to.
