I ordered some flowers to be delivered to a camp in Pennsylvania, USA (from UK) where my daughter is working for the summer, as it was her birthday. So I chose this company from a google search for that area. Easy to order and the flowers were delivered on time. Although I only ordered a small bouquet (trying to keep costs down) the quality of the flowers looked good, and some buds were still to open when they arrived, so would have filled out a bit more. Happy with the service and was updated when they were delivered.
I called to put an order and less than one hour later. I tried to cancel it. I called multiple times and was disconnected five times each time. I was told to hold to get confirmation of my cancellation each time asking if I would take a $15 discount this is a horrible company never use this company at the end of the day, I was not able to get my refund and the flowers were awful
I ordered flowers to send to my Sister in Law who had been injured in a car accident and was in a hospital in Wyoming. I placed the order on 9-12-19 and missed the cutoff time for same day delivery by 5 minutes. The order said it would be delivered either that day or the next day. The next day I had a phone call from an unfamiliar number which I did not answer, no message was left. I received a call on 9-14-19 where I was told they could not deliver until 9-17. I told them to go ahead and after hanging up I changed my mind and tried to call them. I was told to go to their website. I had been there before and it was of no value. I tried again and went to the cancel link and was told to call them because it couldn't perform the function. I called them again and finally got a customer (no) service representative who told me he couldn't authorize the refund because UPS had the order (why couldn't they deliver for 5 days?). He tried to talk to a supervisor who was occupied and said the supervisor would call me later that day or the next day about authorizing a refund.
I located a local florist who delivered the flowers within 4 hours. I should have gone there the first day instead of waiting two days.
Disappointed is an absolute understatement. My husband ordered flowers to be delivered to my work as a surprise for our anniversary. He gave them the time frame in which I would be there. Not only were they late to deliver them but they called ME to tell me that they were delivering flowers to my work THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE. They called both of us afterward and myself and my husband gave them our home address to have them delivered there instead of my workplace. They delivered them to my workplace despite the fact that I wasn't even there to receive them and even wrote the wrong name on the card. Truthfully, I think my husband deserves his $50 delivery fee back considering they completely spoiled the surprise and screwed up everything else along the way.
A family member had passed away and i was able to place a order and it was delivered same day A SUNDAY!
The family much appreciated the nice flower arrangement. Thank you!
You guys are not professionals at all, from customer service to designers. I ordered from Thursday a flower arrangement that had to be delivered on Monday before 2pm, to pay even for the express service, and I was calling in time, since the arrangement was for a memorial mass. No one could tell me where the shipment was, wait until 2:00 pm and call to cancel the service. I had to go to another florist on the way and pay for another flower arrangement that was not the one I had considered for such an important occasion. Today, Tuesday, September 22, when I go to the door I find the arrangement on the door, as if they were thieves, and as if that were not enough, it is not the flower arrangement that I ordered and they left the arrangement without even knocking on the door. I came back from mass at 5:00 pm and I was sitting on the sofa until 8:00 pm. What time did they leave it? Why didn't they knock on the door? They are disrespectful, I want someone to please answer about it, because among my great pain at the loss of my grandmother, I have great indignation with you.
DO NOT USE AVAS FLOWERS! My daughter suffered a great loss and I live 3,000 miles away. I called and spoke to a representative and ordered sunflowers and tuberoses as they have special meaning for my daughter. I asked him to check the stock to ensure this is what could be sent and that they be delivered on the same day. He assured me that they had those flowers and that they could be delivered. They were not. I received an email that night saying sorry, we couldn't deliver the flowers. Then when my daughter did receive a bouquet the next day, it was a scrawny pile of pink roses and snapdragons with one puny sunflower shoved in the bottom. It was awful! After MANY, MANY phone calls, they finally said, tough, we didn't have the flowers you wanted so we just substituted what we had. They would not send a new bouquet of sunflowers as it was against their policy. They had NO heart and NO customer service. I will never use them again. They basically lied to get my order and then blew me off. We were already in the middle of a heartbreaking experience and this just made it so much worse! When she told me it was just their policy and that they couldn't do anything about it, I said, well, maybe you ought to think about putting people before your policies.
Today is my mother's 67th Birthday. After reviewing multiple florist, I wanted to try something new and I must admit the photos online caught my attention. I knew I could not go wrong with Avas Flowers. Boy was I ever wrong. The flowers that I purchased versus what my mother received were like night & day. They didn't have the bow in stock so they took it upon themselves to just not put a bow around the vase at all. First impressions are ultimately the last impression. The flowers were not equally arranged and it appears that either it was the designers first day on the job or she had a flower shortage. I will never order from Avas Flowers again nor will I recommend anyone to this establishment. When consumers spend their money, there is an integrity and product expectation. Needless to say my expectation was not met and I was utterly disappointed. I wanted my mother's face to light up when she saw how much she was loved, but I can only imagine the look on her face when I showed her what the bouquet should have looked like. I immediately called Ava's flowers and spoke with 2 unempathetic representatives and was told because the designer delivered the correct flowers, I could not get a refund but they would give me 10% off of my purchase. Both representatives talked over me and the 1st representative never apologized. On both calls the representatives disconnected my call. The entire experience was UNACCEPTABLE!
This is feedback I wrote to Avas Flowers: I am very upset that this site came up as a local florist for Keene NH. My aunt's birthday (92 years old and in poor health) was on Friday 8/23, and my order was placed on 8/22. Today is Tuesday 8/27 and still no delivery. She may not live much longer. This process to get her flowers has been horrible. I was charged an extra $18 service charge in addition to the cost of my order. I was promised delivery on 8/23, between 11:00-12:00, then on 8/23 between 4:00-5:00... Called back again, and talked to someone around 7:00 pm... My delivery date was changed to Tuesday 8/27 which is too late, as her birthday was 8/23 and I don't know how much longer she will live... Also she will be getting something different than I originally ordered to be delivered sometime today by Fedex MAYBE. It better be a beautiful arrangement including greenery, ribbon and card. It better not need any rearranging, as she is not able to fix it if and when it arrives... Your company is such a big misleading scam! I am extremely unhappy! Your phone service is terrible. When you get a person on the line they lie about the delivery... VERY VERY MISLEADING AND POOR SERVICE! STILL WAITING!
What I bought for my wife was https://www.avasflowers.net/product/the-queen-of-versailles-bouquet premium for $69.99. After I had read that it was a local "family owned" business in Sevierville Tn of which I am a resident. I purchased this because it was suppose to be discounted 45% plus no delivery fee. After I had registered; log in and picked the flowers above then checked out. They added 15.95 for handling free. Since I was already "locked in" so to speak I did the purchase but commented to the site about its unsavory business advertising. I received prompt reply from Bertha Alicia M <*******@avasflowers.com> that it was "business as usual; standard practices" to charge costumers the Handling fee to take good care of the "flowers." This was at 9 am in the morning and I went back with a negative reply to her comment about my complaint. When my wife received the so called Queen of Versailles flower arraignment which you can copy and paste the link provided. She received it with BLACK spray painted carnations. Since my mother owned a flower shop at one time I knew what this meant. It was sent as an insult to me and my wife for which I was billed about $85. With taxes included for about $15. Worth of flowers with black carnations in them. You can see the flowers sent with the link that I provided. https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/mail/inbox/rp
Tip for consumers:
Horrible business and services and would not do business with them EVER.
Feedback. DONT EVER GO THROUGH AVAS FLOWERS. They cant make good on a same day delivery promise. EVEN WHEN YOU PAY EXTRA TO HAVE THE DELIVERY EXPEDITED! Told me that the expedite fee would be refunded... it has not been. The original charge of 91 dollars is still attached to my card with no adjustment made (on a 34 dollar bouquet)... yea, they hammer that much for a local delivery... AND HERE IS THE KICKER! THE FLOWERS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE AT WORK FOR MY GIRLFRIEND. THEY CALLED HER WORK AND GOT AHOLD OF HER TO LET HER KNOW THESE FLOWERS WOULDNT BE IN TODAY! BUT THAT THEY WOULD BE IN TOMORROW! THANKYOU FOR NOT HAVING ANY REMOTE FORM OF TACT AND RUINING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A ROMANTIC SURPRISE!
SCREW THIS ABSOLUTE DUMP OF A COMPANY!
Tip for consumers:
For the love of god, if you have any value to the money you earn. Or like to have anything positive in doing business with a company... do yourself a favor and avoid avas flowers like the plague

I attempted to get a same day delivery of flowers to my girlfriend as a surprise at work
Ordered flowers for same day delivery... no show. Called customer service was assured they would be delivered the nexy day. Two days later still no flowers. The worst
Worst experience with a florist I've ever had! Substitutions made without approval! Quality of aesthetic was horrific! Customer Service for complaint resolution a nightmare! DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!
I ORDERED FLOWERS FOR A FRIEND WAS CHARGED FOR THE DELIVERY AND NOW NOW IT IS DAY TWO AND NO FLOWERS... NEVER AGAIN WILL ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE... I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS FIRST. BETTER HAVE ALL THE STUFF I ORDERED OR WILL CALL THE BBB.
The flowers were truly beautiful. They arrived at the Funeral on the day that was requested. I didn't have any issues with Avas Flowers. I would use the business again!
Started out with a balloon order for $39.99, then at final checkout they unexpectedly tacked on another $20 for a delivery fee on top of the $9.99 they already charged for shipping. Went ahead and ordered anyway. Then they call me and tell me they couldn't deliver that day because the delivery truck broke down and wouldn't credit me for the special delivery charge. They assured me it would be delivered first thing the next morning. Well, next day at 3:30 pm, they still hadn't been delivered. When they finally did deliver they left it on the front porch WITHOUT RINGING THE DOORBELL! THEY ACTUALLY LEFT BALLOONS TO JUST BLOW AWAY! OMG, WHAT A RIP OFF! NEVER AGAIN!

I tried to place an online for an orchid to be delivered to a funeral. The website froze up on me and I had to call their customer service number. I should have just went to the local grocery store and purchased something there. Long story short, the guy told me he would give me a better price than I could get online. Needless to say, he didn't. They actually charged me an additional $18.93 more and I'm unsure what that "service charge" was for. I can tell you that it wasn't for their outstanding service! He couldn't understand English and the sympathy card that I paid an addition $4 for was wrong. I paid for an orchid. They called me twenty minutes later and told me that I couldn't get an orchid but reassured me that they would deliver something just as beautiful. What they sent was a green rubber tree looking thing for the same price as an orchid! I could have gone to the grocery store and paid $15 for that, the note/card would have been free and my name would have actually been on the card but I chose to trust this company. I paid $85 and didn't even get my name listed on the sympathy card. I am so horribly disgusted and disappointed with this company and the service that I received. I would NOT recommend that anyone use this ever. You will not get what you pay for!
Website did not work. Phone service was terrible. Turned out to have extra fees. Do not use this company.
I ordered a funeral arrangement to be delivered on 8/9,but when it failed to deliver, no communication about status of arrangement. Now on the day of the servixe,I had no arrangement to present..

Nothing .I asked for refund because designer canceled the order
I ordered lilys for a funeral@ 80.00.
PAID VIA CREDIT CARD.
Had them delivered to my home.
The arrangement was the size of a sugar bowl with miniature lilys.
I called Ava's customer service EIGHT times. Each time I was disconnected... with intent.
They wait for you to state your business and all reps are instructed to disconnect all customers with billing issues. ALL CALLS Regarding complaints ARE INTENTIONALLY DISCONNECTED.
I tried emailing. They sent me a canned message to a web cite. The web cite is PROGRAMMED to REJECT the order number you were given.
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE... AVAS FLOWERS HAS DESIGNED ((ALL)) THEIR "CUSTOMER SERVICE MECHANISMS TO (((REFUSE CONTACT.))))
THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD.
THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD

My day in hell with this company is just too long to go into.
Suffice it to say that - by my fourth phone call, I finally called to cancel the order. This call was made on Tuesday at about 5:00 to cancel an order due to be delivered on Thursday. The "manager" (yeah, right), refused to give me a cancellation confirmation code because he had to "run it by the boss for approval"
I asked when I could expect a confirmation - and he said someone would contact me in an hour or so. Obviously there was no return call - so I called at 8:00 this morning (Wednesday) and lo and behold... there were NO NOTES about me cancelling the order and now it's "too late because they're due to be delivered tomorrow" - are you surprised yet? Because I'm not - he did it on purpose because their cancellation policy is 24 hours from the time your ordered it... UNLESS it's for the same day or next day delivery. So he decided to scam me. My bank has other ideas LOL - there's a dispute on file now for the charge and they're good at this.
JUST STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
I couldn't be more disappointed with this 'service'. First, they do some kind of trickery to make you think this a local florist in the area. I found out after placing the order that this is national flower store like 1-800-FLOWERS. While shopping I picked out what I wanted and they quote a price. You go through the process of putting in all the details, delivery address, credit card info, etc, etc and then on the last step they inform you that there is $25 'service fee'. With the service fee, their flowers are more expensive than other flower sellers especially local flower shops.
They also bungled the delivery really badly. They were supposed to deliver on Monday and my fiance's work. Her closes at 5pm and Ava's wanted to deliver it at 6:30pm. I called and explained and they agreed to cancel delivery since the place was closed and deliver the next day. Monday night I got a notification that the flowers were delivered. They weren't delivered. Tuesday, they weren't delivered either. I filed a complaint and Wednesday, they confirmed it had not been delivered and that they would deliver it Thursday. Today is Wednesday, maybe it will come tommorrow which would be 4 days late. At this point, I'm not betting on it. I only know this is the plan because I've had to call them 4 times. Their customer service is horrible too. They go out of their way to make it difficult to talk to someone and they just keep redirecting you to their website and that was telling me incorrect information.
Avoid this place. It sucks.
Ordered flowers on Tuesday for a Friday delivery. Couldn't do it. Told me they would upgrade boquet for inconvience, delivered one smaller then what I ordered. Do not use.
Tip for consumers:

I ordered Flower Floral Harmony Bouquet "LUXURY GRADE" Added 10 latex balloons, 4 Mylar ballons, a card Fullsize greeting card, large box of chocolate, and a Large Teddy Bear. To the tune of $243.00. Im in Iowa for work and this was for my wifes Birthday. What showed up was, a small Bouquet of flowers, hardly any thing close to "LUXURY GRADE" (I have Pictures). The Teddy bear smelled of Cigarette Smoke so bad My wife had to run it in the washing machine, 4 latex Balloons(I ordered 10), and 3 Mylar Balloons (ordered 4,2 I Love You and 2 Happy Birthday). And for the Card I paid for they gave here a Piece of Paper. Now no one answers the phone, the machine asks you to type in a number for a call back, machine called back and then it hung-up.
