Recently, I found out a past team member of mine who I worked with 20+ years ago have passed away. I was very saddened by the news. She was a lovely lady... very humble and kind. I didn't stay in touch with her after she left the company. However, she and my aunt worked together and were very good friends back in the days. They stayed in touch over the years. Anyway, I had to google search for her obituary online since her funeral services information was not shared with me. I found her and was able to confirm it was her. I wanted to send sympathy flowers to her family. She lived in another state so I had to locate a local florist nearby the cemetery. Luckily, I found Locker's Flowers... they are actually 1.5 hours away from the cemetery which in my opinion is not very local. Anyway, they contract with another florist that is about 15 to 20 mins from the cemetery which worked out. I placed the order online and I ended up calling them to make sure they got the order as it was pretty short notice. I asked for the confirmation email once the flowers were delivered, but I didn't get any so I had to call them back a few times to confirm delivery. They said it was delivered. Hopefully, her family got the flowers. Stay blessed. read more

Poor customer service and intoxicated delivery driver. Take your business elsewhere.

I ordered over the phone. I even referenced an arrangement that I was looking and I said that the recipient loves lilies. I think I got three lilies and the rest some random wilted flowers. This looks nothing like the bouquet that I referenced that were the same price. I described and said multiple things. The only thing that I got was three lilies. read more

Locker's Flowers - This sad looking arrangement looks nothing like I ordered - Florists Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

I ordered sympathy flowers for family in this area through FTD and was fortunate enough to have Locker's Florist be the company I got! Wow talk about customer service. Jim called me and asked me if my family member would be home because the weather had turned so cold there he did not want to leave the flowers outside. I was so impressed with this company. Then I found out my Aunt was staying at a different address and called Jim back and he went ahead and delivered there instead! It is the little things that end of being big things in this life, and this company deserves a great big shout out! read more

I received flowers for my birthday. This review is coming from a former floral designer of many years. My husband called FTD to place the order and Lockers fulfilled the order. First, the roses were wired and completely open and mushy to the touch. A rose should have a hard bulb which tells you it is new and will last longer. The lily was brown as were the roses. In cold weather you should always wrap the flowers in clear wrap or tissue. These were delivered with neither! The cold air can damage flowers and make them wilt faster. I called the florist right away after receiving the arrangement and the only thing she was worried about was me sending pics and emailing to them. I never received a call or email back to try to remedy the problem. Very poor customer service! We called FTD for a full refund! I would not recommend this place of business to anyone for floral designs! There are many other places who actually care to give you something beautiful for the money you spend to send something special to someone! read more

I went with lockers for my wedding because I was so impressed that they took the time to make a mock bouquet for me so I could see what it would look like in person. When I got the flowers day of I was pretty disappointed because they did not look like what she originally made for me. The bridal bouquet was pretty, just not what she originally showed me. The bridesmaid bouquets had so much greenery I ended up having to cut fly always because I did not ask for greenery. When I expressed my concerns the gentlemen said "well that was so long ago". So I guess if you're planning a wedding a year out don't expect your flowers to look how they originally promised. read more

See all

I would highly recommend Locker's Flowers. I received flowers from a friend and they were beautiful. I was shocked to see that they actually wired their roses and sunflowers, I've had family in the florist business when I was younger and remember them wiring the roses and thought this was a lost process in our fast paced world. Wiring the flowers really makes a difference in how the arrangement lasts, so thank you, Locker's Flowers for taking the time to do it right, it didn't go unnoticed! Thank you!!! read more

Here's a feel good story: I ordered flowers for my sister's birthday for Saturday delivery. I was out of town but the gentleman making the delivery called me to say they were delivered and where he placed them at the door. Problem was, I gave them the wrong address. I just wrote it off as my mistake and was hoping someone was enjoying them. Here's the feel good part: A week later, the guy who had just discovered the delivery, took the time to call the florist and let them know. Locker's then took the time to backtrack the order details and called me to inform me. And then...delivered a new arrangement, gratis! Of note: I placed the order direct on their website-not through FTD or other third party. Another really good reason to shop local! Thank you. read more

Excellent emergency make up and delivery by Pat who came to the rescue on a Sunday and had the most stunning array of purple and white flowers in their collection delivered before noon. Our friend of more than 50 years was deeply impressed and blessed by the quality of this choice. The detail and freshness made it a elegant array to grace the table close to the front door for guests to Stand in awe. The teddy bear and box of chocolate added a personal touch to Enjoy and share with guests. Thank You so much Pat for the great response to our situation. read more

3rd experience that was bad. First two were prior to COVID. Poor attitude by workers on two occasions, a while back an older worker actually made me feel like I was putting them out since I stopped in 15 min before closing. Order was for one corsage. I personally stopped going after that. Recent flowers looked bad right out of the bag, half of them completely dead by next day. Second time this has happened. Went out of my way to bring them back, they did replace the bad ones. Felt like the half apology I got was only because she had to, tried to pin the blame back on us. This was the worst part and why I'm writing the review. Will make sure nobody in my family ever buys from them again. Honestly first review I've ever written. read more

Locker's provided flowers for my father's funeral this last weekend, including one arrangement that a cousin ordered online through a 3rd party. This arrangement was obviously inferior to the others, despite costing just as much or more. My cousin called the 3rd party to complain and was given a 50% refund. The story should have stopped there. But the 3rd party called Locker's and told them that they were only going to receive 50% of the cost. So Locker's came to the funeral home -- IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FATHER'S VISITATION -- and TOOK THE ARRANGEMENT BACK. W.T.F.????? This is the most UNPROFESSIONAL, classless display I have ever witnessed from a "business". How is it EVER okay to walk into a room, 3 feet from the open casket and, in front of dozens of mourners, remove the flowers from the easel they were on???? We will NEVER patronize this business again. read more

Recently ordered a thank you arrangement for a friend. Once again, Locker's delivered the perfect arrangement - which lasted for well over a week! Thank you John and staff! read more

I remember back in the day when Mr Locker was around, flowers here were unbelievable! I ordered my mother a $90 bouquet (bc I'm in Florida now) and I could have gotten more at meijer! Three roses a couple carnations and the couple Lily's weren't anything to brag about. The smallest arrangement I've ever seen! Disappointed is an understatement. read more

Called today (day before Mother's Day) to order flowers for my mom. Chose them based on their Yelp reviews and they did not disappoint at all! Great bouquet, and service. Thank you very much! From a happy son! read more

I went with Locker Flowers for a flower arrangement for a funeral. I went through their website. I ordered the Premium size Thomas Kincade's Moment of Grace bouquet. Now I was not expecting a perfect match to the online picture, but I was expecting at the very least the Thomas Kincade Vase that had a very pretty picture on it. Instead they used some small white vase that had no Kincade picture on it, the flowers were sunk into the vase. It was suppose to be 20-1/2" Tall and 14-1/2" wide. I would say it was more like 14 inches tall by 12 inches wide. I recognized some of the flowers in the bouquet that was it, Otherwise it was completely unrecognizable! On top of that the note they put on there looked like they used scrap paper! I am livid! I will never use them again. If it wouldn't have looked so inappropriate I would have taken a picture of it to share. I showed others there what I should look like and they agreed with me so it wasn't me just being overly picky. Beware you are taking a big chance ordering from them! read more

5/5 customer service! I had an emergency situation leaving my family unable to attend a funeral. The arrangement I had ordered from a different florist canceled on me an hour before the service was to begin. In a panic, I called the only other florist still open on a Saturday afternoon, Locker's Flowers. I was pleasantly greeted by Cookie. Cookie did me the world's largest service and put together a sympathy arrangement with a card and had it delivered to the funeral home within 45 minutes! Thank you Cookie for helping us send our love & support to our dear friends during this difficult time. read more

We got our flowers for our wedding from Lockers. We really weren't sure what we wanted, so Pat and John came up with something for our Easter themed wedding. The driver that delivered them to the church was very knowledgeable on what flowers were for who. The flowers were beautiful. I loved my bouquet. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding amazing! They also provided a beautiful memory flower for my husbands mother without us asking. What an amazing idea. We will keep it forever. read more

For the cost I expected better service. The pricing was good until all these mistakes were made. Our flowers for the altar did not arrive on time. So our altar was empty and barren of life. My nieces did not receive their flowers. Apparently these were never written down, but I'm pretty sure we discussed them. I don't know what happened there. It could have been a miscommunication. But I felt bad for my new nieces. The bouquets were lovely, but mine was supposed to have crystals in it. It didn't. I would go with them again. But I would definitely set up a final meeting to make sure everything goes smoothly. read more

The person who took my order over the phone was very Friendly and Helped me a lot... I didn't had much information of the arrangement that I wanted or much information to the destination but , she helped me a lot ...With much appreciation from Los Angeles, Ca...to you guys and the flowers are beautiful... read more

BUYER BEWARE! Cliff note version- Lockers Flowers in McHenry fulfilled a funeral order from an online portal. When I got to the wake I was not happy with the way the flowers looked. Called online company who gave me a 50% refund. Apparently the online portal called florist and they had a disagreement. All unbeknownst to me. LOCKERS DISRUPTED MY UNCLES WAKE AND REMOVED THE FLOWERS!!! I had no idea what was going on, I was embarrassed and mortified. How dare they allow their dispute with the online portal to impact a grieving family. And the kicker- this was the florist that my aunt had gone to for all the funeral flowers so they had received a large amount of business from the family. SHAME ON YOU LOCKERS FLOWERS. This was the most unprofessional act I have ever seen a business perform. read more

Had three dozen roses sent to me from Lockers fFlowers over the years. All three arrangements died within three days of receiving them. The first two times I went into their store and let them know that the flowers had died. I also brought the dead bouquets in. They were not happy to replace the bouquets and had a bad attitude. Prior to even receiving these three bouquets I never wanted to return the third bouquet of roses because of their attitudes prior to this delivery.I had gone into their shop to purchase some fresh flowers and no one seems like they wanted to help me. They all ignored my presence. I've never in my life been in a store with more women that were so unwilling to help and had such a bad attitude. I would never purchase from this store ever again. read more

Have ordered flowers for delivery several times and have always had a great experience - even during the busiest days (Mother's Day, Valentine's Day). Nice local business! read more

So my son asked if I would pick up flowers for him but unfortunately Lockers Flowers was closing in 5 min. I can't believe they stayed and waited for me to pick up the flowers. They even put them together last minute for me. Such awesome customer service! I will go back and will recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely arrangement. read more

I have been using Lockers exclusively for some time. I like that I can handwrite a note for my wife (especially if I've done something wrong). My wife teaches in Wadsworth but its easier to say Gurnee. I send her flowers 2 or 3 times during her school year. It's about twenty miles and I usually tip the driver an extra ten to go, so about twenty-five total. Today was the first time I tried to send flowers to my wife. I picked a nice $50 range bouquet and started to write the card. I saw the delivery charge was 24 dollars. She asked me when I wanted them delivered and I said today, preferably by 3pm she said there was an ADDITIONAL charge for a specific time. My $45 bouquet was now more than doubled in price. I am now forced to find a new florist for my business. this is unfortunate as I really like this shop. read more

The most important flower arrangement I order lately is for a friend or family member that has been laid to rest. If I order flowers for someone, I want it to stand out in a room full of arrangements. I want the family and friends to know I mourn the loss to us all in this passing. I have ordered 5 arrangements from Lockers and when the family thanks you for the beautiful flowers you know you received the service you ordered. They have never disappointed me, I would recommend your next order from Lockers for that huge arrangement you want to stand out in a room. read more

I've lived in McHenry all my life and once again Locker's goes way above and beyond the call! I have never been less than delighted with anything I've ever purchased or received from this great hometown business. The flowers are lush and beautiful and John and his staff go out of their way to make sure you are more than happy with your experience. John even carried my potted flowers to my car and strapped them in with my seat belts--great idea! This is exactly why it pays to shop local--it's a win win for everyone. read more

Terrible costumer service! Went to a bridal show and lady with reddish spike hair was rude. For someone who is trying to get people to come to your place you were terrible. You weren't going to sign our paper so bride could enter to win grand prize because bride wasn't at your station. Work on your skills! read more

Worst arrangement I have ever received. They were not the colors we asked for. There was more greenery than flowers. They didn't even look like a florist put them together, it was a mangled, messy, sloppy, rush job. In what universe does orange pass for white? I'm glad this was just one arrangement and not multiple for an event. I will never use them again and if they can't even get one bouquet right; how do you suppose they handle important events. I'd give them zero stars if it was an option. read more

Went here to get flowers for my girlfriend a few months back, and what struck me first was the atmosphere. It was slightly busy, and the way the shop was set up, it felt like you just walked straight into a greenhouse. Very cool, and very relaxed. Then you literally walk into a large "locker" refrigerator unit and pick out what you want. The employees were helpful and friendly, making polite conversation. read more

My sister and I both used lockers for our wedding flowers and both of us were very satisfied. We felt the prices were reasonable compared to what our friends payed elsewhere and the employees were friendly. I ordered many peonies for my wedding and they turned out beautiful. Locker's even called me when the flowers arrived and invited me to view them before they put them into the arrangements. They also made a suggestion to use two different kinds of peonies because the color and type of flower I chose would open and close often based on the weather. It worked out beautifully and I would definitely recommend Lockers. read more

Intentionally selected a florist in the vicinity to where my mother was moving to order direct and support a local business. And hopefully come out with my go-to place for her in the future. Order placed very easily online, delivered on time/a Saturday. Response to plant: very very favorable! Thank you very much. read more

Terrible experience with my daughters wedding flowers. From the start they were always busy, being valentine's day, mother's day, prom etc. The brides and bridesmaids bouquets were all the wrong colors. After promising me they would be at the reception venue a certain time, came 2 hours early, left the flowers, and didn't set up. They said they had to go. Run don't walk away from this florist for wedding flowers. There are too may out there that will be better for the price. Very over priced too! read more

I ordered my daughter a beautiful bouquet, or so I thought until she got it from here!! The colors were wrong and the size for a deluxe bouquet was very small. Would NOT use them again. Was disappointed. read more

I recently ordered flowers from Locker's Flowers for Valentines Day to surprise my grandmother. The one that was surprised was me. They delivered the flowers to the wrong address. When I brought this to their attention, they were unwilling to cooperate or take responsibility for their mistake. They basically told me to figure it out on my own. Mind you, I live in Florida. Their customer service is absolutely terrible. When I tracked down the flowers MYSELF, all of the contact information and names on the card within the flowers were incorrect. I am highly disappointed with their quality of service. Save yourself the headache and order flowers from some place else. read more

My husband sent me flowers from this shop twice and both times the flowers where disappointing. The1st flowers was a Christmas bouquet and they died in 2 days. The next flowers where roses for our 26th anniversary and they where dead and dry and the balloon said Happy - day not anniversary. So to make up they sent a cheap box of Russell candy and a Happy Anniversary balloon. To me that is poor customer service I will tell my husband please do not have them deliver flowers again. I use to get flowers from Marengo florist when I worked in the area and their flowers always lasted a min of 7-10 days before they died. read more

Locker's Flowers did a great job with my wedding bouquets. I wanted a mix of calla lilies, regular lilies, and orchids, which I figured would be an expensive bouquet. I went in expecting to pay too much in flowers because everywhere else seemed so expensive, but Locker's Flowers was very reasonable!! I worked with Julie, who helped plan me keep the cost down but get exactly what I wanted. Our bouquets were absolutely beautiful, as were the boutineers and corsages. I also had a special request to wrap the ribbon around the entire stem area (because I hate the bare stem look - especially since the calla stems are so thick) and they had no problem doing that. They were also willing to adorn the ribbon with some trinkets my mom had for me. Delivery to the church was very punctual. The great customer care, the quality of the arrangements, and the great price for it all can not be beaten. I would definitely recommend them to other brides! read more

Ordered a Towering Ficus for a birthday gift and what was delivered was completely different then what's pictured on the website. The website stated AFTER I ordered "if your selection is unavailable, a substitution of comparable quality and value will be delivered." What was delivered was not comparable quality. I chose a house plant, what arrived looks like a tree your would put in your backyard. I cannot say what actually arrived because it was not labeled with any identification or care instructions. Keep in mind I was NEVER told my selection was not available. What's the point of selecting a picture if it's not a representation of the product being purchased. I called customer and they didn't even know what they delivered. They simply guessed and gave generic instructions like "our plants can be watered twice a day....." or "a few hours of sunlight is good". I spent over a hundred dollars just to have a backyard plant delivered to my family. I would not recommend. read more
