Can I even give them a star?!?! Repossessing flowers because they screwed up?!?! Unheard of! Unethical!
I had ordered my good friend flowers after her grandfather passed to cheer her up. We paid for two up charges for the largest and fullest bouquet in that style. When they arrived it was a small washed out bouquet that you would maybe pay $30 for in the store. That's being generous on the value. The bouquet we ordered cost $85!
I called From You Flowers where we ordered them from. They used this florist to do the initial delivery. I explained the situation and a couple days later, to make it better, they sent a new bouquet to make it right. The second one was even smaller then the last and some of the roses were brown at the base.
I contacted From You Flowers and we agreed on a small discount to make up for it since it still was not right. It was not a full refund, and I was fine with that because I understood that costs needed to be covered even though I still ended up paying around $55 for something I was disappointed in when it came to what was promised vs. delivered.
Today my friend arrives home from the funeral to the florist showing up trying to repossess BOTH bouquets!!!!!! How can you take both back when I didn't even get a full refund?!?!?! Or even take them back at all?!?! This is just unheard of!
She busted out in tears and the man felt bad so he said we are just going to throw them away, so let her keep one. My friend said she would have been happy with even weeds, it was the thought. That's why I didn't pursue it any further than the second one and have it re delivered a third time!
Why?!?! I have never heard of a florist taking back flowers! Expressions By Elizabeth messes up and then they did this! I am in shock, as was my friend. They didn't even try to make it right!!!!
Can you imagine your friend sending your flowers for a family loss and receive a bouquet of flowers. A redelivery being made to make good on the florist not initially sending a product as promised. Then getting a second, bouquet that had flowers that were already decaying? But wait, the the florist (Expressions by Elizabeth) shows up on the day of the funeral services and takes them away from the recipient?!
That is wrong and cold and unprofessional! I still paid money for both sets of flowers and they had the nerve to show up and take them away! Didn't even offer to give her a new one to replace them?!?! Who does this?!
I strongly feel That Expressions By Elizabeth was upset because they were called to the carpet for their poor workmanship and tried to retaliate. They drove from Milford to Amelia to take these away. They were trying to make a point! They told my friend I was refunded and they were taking them back. Again, I was discounted, not refunded.
I have never in my life heard of a florist doing this! Then to show up, take them away, and say it was going in the trash anyway?!?! On the day of a funeral?!?!?! They could have called me. Spoke to me. Not shown up at the recipient's home and take away a gift that was given.
Had Expressions By Elizabeth sent a gorgeous and full bouquet we paid for instead of being cheap and cutting corners we wouldn't have experienced this.
I have read other reviews on the internet, Facebook, and Yelp. It seems Expressions By Elizabeth is not the place to go. I recommended From You Flowers to not use them as a florist in the future. If I have a choice, I most certainly will not either.
I would NOT recommend this POS florist to anyone! read more
