I was excited to order from here for the first time, but the $14 delivery fee (before tip) for a…read moreone-mile trip was an immediate dealbreaker. Charging that much for what is literally a 3-minute drive and blaming gas prices feels unreasonable and disingenuous. If the delivery pricing is this excessive, it makes me question the overall value and pricing of the bouquets as well. Unfortunately, I'll be establishing a relationship with a more reasonable florist. UPDATE in response to owner's reply: Thank you for the response. It actually confirmed every concern I had. A potential customer sharing honest feedback about pricing is not a personal attack. It's market feedback. The fact that you opened with sarcasm ('Very nice of you!') rather than genuine engagement says more about your customer service than a one-star review ever could. A few points worth addressing: - You explained that the flat rate is 'justifiable' due to gas and insurance. I live one mile away. A 3-minute round trip for $14 works out to roughly $280/hour in delivery overhead. If gas prices have risen enough to justify that, we are apparently in an end of the world crisis that I was not aware of. Last I checked gas was $3.75/gallon. I understand costs exist; I questioned whether this structure is reasonable. Those are different things. The current zip code model disproportionately favors customers further away from you, and brings unreasonable costs to your closest neighbors. - You suggested I simply pick up in-store. I wanted a delivery service. A business that responds to delivery pricing concerns with 'just come get it yourself' has missed the point entirely. - You mentioned this affects livelihoods which is precisely why customer feedback about pricing exists. If a potential customer can't get through the checkout process, that is livelihood-relevant information. A business open to that feedback might have earned a customer. This response ensured you won't. - You closed with 'We'll be praying for you.' To a stranger who flagged a pricing concern. I'll let that speak for itself. - I wish your staff well, but a business that responds to unconverted customers with condescension and prayer has bigger challenges than my review. I hope future customers find this thread useful before deciding where to spend their money. My review began only with concerns on unreasonable delivery fees, but my concerns obviously have grown to general customer service and judgement from the owner.

I went in today with a few questions about getting 3 bridesmaid bouquets and a bridal bouquet for…read moremy wedding in 3 weeks. I knew going in, things might not be feasible due to time, but I was curious what my options were. Unfortunately the two men who were working on 2/7/26 at about 2:30pm when I went in really made me feel stupid. I was "going to be laughed at anywhere else I went" and they were "the only florist that would entertain" the idea of getting me the flowers in a 3 week window around the Valentine's holiday. These are the direct words from them to me. Again, i understand the timeframe isn't ideal, and even would have understood if they flat out told me it wasn't possible. But to make me feel like an inconvenience and just plain dumb for asking if it was possible made me dismiss the whole idea of going to a local florist and figure it out on my own. They offered for me to come back on 2/18 when their prices come back down after Valentine's, but still made it clear that it probably can't be done. By that point after what they already said, I was done and had tears in my eyes. They asked me what my backup plan was, and when I told them, they back tracked and said they have"heard horror stories" about this particular chain and the flowers "come in three weeks late, we can help you on the 18th." I'm sorry, which answer is it? You're the only store who will "entertain my request" but probably won't be able to, or "we are the only oncs who can do it, that chain is no good"? Won't be getting my business ever.

My mom's best friend lives in Melbourne FL, so this is the florist we always use to send flowers for various occasions. (My mom and her friend have everything they need, so beautiful flowers enrich the holidays.) I've posted a photo of the floral arrangement my mom's friend received and it's beautiful. The difference this time is that they had in the past given a no-delivery fee promo if you ordered online. This time my mom was charged a delivery fee. I called the florist directly to ask if there had been a computer glitch. Instead I was told that they could no longer offer the promo due to rising costs, the price of vehicle expenses and so on. Of course I completely understand and it was just a sad reminder that our economy is struggling. We will continue to use this florist and support it for the beautiful and thoughtful arrangements my mom has ordered over the years. I continue to recommend Designs of the Times for flowers in the Melbourne FL area.
