Dealing with this florist was the absolute worst experience ever. I ordered a bouquet for my girlfriend online through FromYouFlowers.com around 10am this morning and paid the expedited delivery fee to have them delivered by 2pm (which was guaranteed).
I received a call at 2pm from FromYouFlowers.com indicating that the expedited service was denied by the local flower shop and that they would try to have them delivered by 5pm. I called Palacios and spoke to "Mike" and let him know that I paid for expedited service so I would appreciate a delivery ASAP and before 5pm. He asked how much I paid for the expedited service, which I told him and he immediately became rude and combative while telling me he was "only making $30 off the deal" and that he needed more money from FromYouFlowers.com or he would not complete the delivery. He told me that if I had a problem, I would have to call FromYouFlowers.com for a refund.
I pleaded with him to complete the delivery as promised and that the fee agreement with FromYouFlowers.com was for him to negotiate and him seemingly feeling underpaid now (and being stubborn) only hurts me, the customer. He told me point blank that "you are not my customer, you are theirs" and "no delivery until I get more money from them". He then told me he was busy with other things and hung up on me!
I called FromYouFlowers.com and spoke to a supervisor and she told me that she was appalled and in 20+ years, she's never experienced this from one of their vendors. She even put me on hold and called herself, only to return to my call several minutes later, claiming that "Mike" was impossible and Palacios will be removed from their vendor listing for any future business. Thankfully, FromYouFlowers.com stepped up and are processing my order through a preferred vendor (albeit a day late) and offered me a full refund.
I would avoid Palacios at all costs; rude and abrasive while having no sense of customer service or regard for for the consumer. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more
