Beware of Flowers.com. In early December, my daughter who lives in Virginia ordered an arrangement to be sent to me. It arrived about 6:30 in the evening so it was dark when I opened the door. When I saw it in the light, I realized I should have refused it. There was a card with the name of the florist with a gmail address. The next day, I called a local florist with that name. Unfortunately, it was not from them and they had received several calls from people like me. I sent my daughter a picture and she was furious. She called Flowers.com and complained. They offered an upgraded replacement. When that arrived, it was better but didn’t vaguely resemble the arrangement she saw on the site. About a week later, while watching Shark Tank, I saw an update about Alice’s Table which is a company that teaches women how to do flower arrangements to earn extra money. They were proud that Flowers.com was sending their orders to these women. The arrangements I received looked like someone went to Walmart, bought an arrangement and delivered it to me. Sorry this is so long, but I hope it will be of help to unsuspecting people who are trying to do something nice.
