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
The flowers were old and ugly. The stems were like hollow wood. Was a surprise for my mom who just finished cancer treatment
Tip for consumers:
Don't trust them

A day late, dead and old flowers. I will never purchase flowers and will recommend others to never buy flowers from Avas Flowers
I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered... it was a 75th Birthday gift... I was assured that the azalea plant was in stock and would be delivered the next day (on her birthday) An azalea Bonzi (NOT WHAT I ORDERED) was delivered 4 days later, the plant was wilted and in bad shape when it arrived. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
My word of advice don't order on line or 800 flower. They do not care about your best interest. Order from a real flower shop.
Don't use this company! They buy gas station flowers and charge you $130 for delivery and then not on the correct date ruining the occasion!
I wanted to purchase something special for my Godmother who is 98y/o. I wanted to make her smile and be happy since this may be the last Christmas she is here with family. I found a beautiful arrangement at AVAS Flowers that I knew she would love. So, I purchased the DELUXE arrangement. First, I was shocked seeing that there was an additional fee of $17.95 as a Service Fee, God only knew what that was for! Next, I received an email from AVAS requesting I call the Customer Service because there was an issue with the arrangement. They were out of berries so there would be a delay in Delivery [after Christmas]. Okay, things happen and at least I was happy to hear that "they cared" about what they provide to their customers. Well, my Godmother received the arrangement on the 26th and her daughter sent me a picture of what it looked like. OMG – I was so embarrassed! I didn't even look like a $15 arrangement you could get at a grocery store! Hardly any berries, huge bow to fill in the empty spaces. I will NEVER purchase from or recommend AVAS Flowers to ANYONE.
Tip for consumers:
DONT BUY THERE!!!!!

BUYER BEWARE!
DO NOT use this service! It's expensive & they don't come through. Paid for expedited service and the flowers weren't delivered until the next day, AND only after many phone calls made to their customer service. They argued and fought with the sender and the recipient stating the recipient wasn't home (completely untrue) so they couldn't make the delivery. Asked for a refund and to cancel, they would not even consider it and argued about it. Demanded a cancellation and refund the next afternoon when the delivery had not been made - they still would not entertain the idea. I offered to go pick them up. I was told they didn't have the information on the local shop that was to be delivering them so I couldn't go get them.
They had our money and they were keeping it.
We googled them to see what others had to say. Interestingly, Ava's Flowers answers the question - is Ava's Flowers a scam. They say NO with a lengthy explanation of their 'business' and it's growth. Growth made by taking people's money and refusing to deliver the product or provide a refund.
When they finally arrived, it wasn't what we ordered. Understandably there are changes to flowers and such. The balloons aren't mylar as pictured, they are latex. Paid $5.00 for a large card and received the normal bouquet card. There's just a bunch that went wrong here.
Do yourself a HUGE favor and look up local florists in the area you wish to have flowers delivered and use them directly.
I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone, ever.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use Ava's Flowers! Look up a local shop and save yourself the headache and a ton of money!

My husband has had a colon resection and my work sent a vase and 10 stemed Sunflowers to our house - I received 10 DEAD flowers and a Vase. I called customer service and asked if they could resend me some live flowers - I was told NO - however, they would let me BUY another arrangement at 50% off. I explained these arrived dead and were a get well gift. I asked to talk to a manager and they said they would have a manager call me back - NO CALL BACK. I called my work and had them dispute the charge on their credit card as they shouldn't have to pay for DEAD FLOWERS. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, they should be ashamed!

USE FTD
On July 6,2017, I ordered a standing funeral spray, to be delivered for the viewing on July 7,2017. I indicated in the instructions that the viewing was on July 7, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the funeral on July 8,2017 at 2:00 p.m.
On July 7,2017, I checked the status and was advised the flowers were on the truck. On July 8,2017, I checked the delivery status and was advised that the delivery had been rescheduled for July 10,2017. I explained that I ordered a standing spray for a funeral today. I was told the flowers would be delivered to the familys home. When I remarked why anyone would send a standing spray to a home, I was asked if I would rather have a fruit basket. When I informed the representative that my cousin lived alone and there was no one at her house to send a fruit basket to, this person replied where would you like us to send it. When I requested a refund this person indicated he would see what they could do.
I was subsequently transferred to a supervisor who asked if I wanted flowers delivered to a different location. When I responded no, I was asked if I wanted to cancel my order. Cancel my order, didnt that happened when the company failed to deliver the order as promised. I am not sure which was worst, that this company failed to deliver flowers to the viewing, the funeral, provided no notification until I inquired or their nonchalant attitude towards the entire ordeal.
BEWARE! If I could give a minus star rating, I would. It was a positive review I initially read
That prompted me to order flowers for my daughter-in-law's birthday. I live in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, and I was lead to believe that the flower shop was in Wake Forest, N. C. where she lives, which has a population of about 44,000. On the web site, same day delivery is advertised. I ordered the birthday flowers on Sept. 27 for delivery on Sept. 30. At about 3pm on Sept. 30th I received a call telling me that the driver had gone out for the day and the flowers would not be delivered until October 1st. NOOOO! Why can't someone just drive them over, or send them by Taxi or Uber? There was a language barrier with the person to whom I was talking. When I asked her if she was the proprietor, she did not seem to know what I meant. The order had been expensive…with the total cost being about twice what the original cost had been. No compensation was offered. When I said that it would be good business practice to offer compensation, a $10 discount was offered… and then $20. I thought a 50% refund would have been more appropriate. No. Really? Didn't Ava's breach their contract which stated same day deliver?!
I canceled my order and I'd better see the amount come off my card. No compensation was offered. I will NEVER order from Ava's again. I then called customer service and was offered canned platitudes that seemed to have been read from a script. No sincerity and no offer to compensate. I would advise customers to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I ordered a double orchid that was no better that what you would get a a supermarket at 3 times the price. Avoid this place.
We ordered flowers to be delivered to our daughter bridal suite on her wedding day and apparently the flower designer "cancelled " the order with no notice or reason? This was such a disappointment for the father of the bride who planned this surprise. Ava florist in Cave Springs Ark you suck!
I ordered flowers for my moms birthday to be delivered same day…. Never arrived! Please do yourself a favor …. DO NOT order from this company!
Not delivered when promised and keep lying every time I called
Delivered something completely different from what they show on their pictures
All said and done, after i put my credit card information, they hit me with a $19.95 service charge. Glad i saw it and not rushed to place the order.
Ava's delivered my order on time just as they said they would. The plant was absolutely beautiful! Will use them again!
Thr plant was beautiful and delivered on time.
Great service and wonderful arrangement.
It made the day a little brighter.
Regarding order # ******* I don't have time to call and sit on hold for another hour. On Tuesday September 3 I placed an order on line for a plant $73.00 to be delivered to Faith Baptist Church in Hines Oregon by 11:00 am on Saturday September 7th. I called in at 1:15 on Saturday and spoke to two different representatives and was on hold for almost an hour and no one was able to tell me what happened to my order or why it was not delivered. I said that we were going to be at the church until 3:00 if they could just have it delivered that they could call me and I would come out and get it. That didn't happen and no one could answer as to why it wouldn't be delivered. The only option was to have it delivered to a home address the next day Sunday September 8th
It was not delivered or attempted to be delivered! My husband took over the call and relayed the extreme frustration and disappointment and was told that it would be discounted to a total of $11. Not discounted and refunded $11. This has been the worst experience and customer service I have had. If it was not going to happen a call to let me know would have been appreciated and would have allowed me to make other arrangements and not have to deal with all of this crap while at a funeral.
Me and my wife just orderd 2 arraingments to be deliverd today and when we called to see were they were they said that they would be del tomorrow and instead of flowers they would be rosses they i autherized wich i did not. So i said just cancel it they they cant. I said just refund they wer can only give half back when theyn did not del anything. How are they still on the internet, taking advantage of pewople in their time of sorrow. How does the bbb/ag/law enforcement and anyone else looking at these $#*!s.
Really fast delivery good prices and good updates on the order itself definitely will buy from here again
FRAUD! One word that sums it up. I ordered a pastel sympathy bouquet PREMIUM size with banners and card. NOT only did they "not deliver" a bouquet but also LIED about it. They took my money over $200 but delivered NO flowers for my aunty's funeral. The WORST business ever! Don't bother ordering anything from this business. They claimed they delivered it to the funeral home, but the customer service rep (John) said they delivered it to the church. So which is it? And if the bouquet they claimed was delivered to church or funeral home, It was NOT a PREMIUM PASTEL SYMPATHY BASKET FLOWERS, DID NOT HAVE ANY BANNERS OR A CARD ATTACHED TO IT AS ORDERED, but it was PATHETIC looking and looked like someone just threw some LEFTOVER flowers together LAST minute and there you go! The bouquet was PATHETIC looking! If that's the bouquet they claimed it was delivered. You be your own judge! Go on avasflowers.com and look at the photo of a PASTEL SYMPATHY BASKET and compare it to the photo of the sickly looking bouquet they delivered. Attached below. IT'S PITIFUL!
I ordered flowers to my mom for mother's day and no flowers! Very disappointing! Never will I order from here again! Don't waist your money
They are garbage and a fraud. Please save yourself the aggravation and don't use them for anything. They do not care about you at all.
You guys are great! Thank you so much the flowers got there right before my sister passed away again ty & God Bless you all
