I ordered from a FTD site and thought after it was paid that the flowers would be delivered the same day since it was a little past 12 noon , but got a call saying they they couldn't deliver it the same day AND they didn't have the flowers that went into the arrangement, I canceled and now have to wait days to get a refund , I don't have my money or the arrangement, order your flowers elsewhere. .

Ordered flowers, acasket spray and standing spray (over $700) for Mom's funeral. Ordered 2 days in advance. Day of funeral - flowers had not arrived - called florist and they had a difficult time locating my order... once found, they blamed their computer for not printing out the order... they did not have the appropriate flowers to make the standing spray, so I cancelled... they rush made the casket spray and delivered 1 hour after the viewing already begun. I called the next day to discuss this with a manager and was told there is no one around

I was traveling and wanted to surprise a friend, so I called and place and order for deliver with a representative called Marie. She initially was rushing me through the process; then assured me the delivery will be done by 3:35pm. Called back from a missed call to learn that she gave the driver the wrong address and convinced herself that it was my fault because I gave her the wrong address. Marie was very obnoxious and boisterous on the phone, I jelly calm because I didn't want to crash my car because she made me feel like crap. Later called me back to say "my driver went out of his

Came here for my nephews prom and they pretty much had corsages made already and didn't give me an option to make my own. Then when I came back to pick it up they then were advertising that I could've built up my own. During prom season I would think they would've been ready for all kinds of choices. Will be going some place else.

I ordered another bouquet from their website for my wife for our anniversary and we are just as happy as the first time. My wife received the bouquet on time (which was the following day) and it looked just like the photo on their website. She loves it! FYI, I did get the deluxe option. My old florist closed up shop and this has become my new go-to florist. I order with confidence and recommend them to anyone who asks about florists.

I came to Essex greenhouse with the intent of bringing home with me some new indoor plants for my home. Their selection was limited but the plants that they had were nice. Only a few succulents but a lot of nice Wandering Jews of different varieties so I grabbed a big Wandering Jew and a small succulent, I do believe they charged me for the wrong size plants but oh well. I noticed after a few days my plants were looking bad, come to find out they were infested with melee bugs. If you've never had them attack your plants consider yourself lucky because they're nasty pests. I did contact
