Comments on: FTD, you let me down http://blog.chaddickerson.com/2007/02/15/ftd-you-let-me-down/ Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:59:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Chezbloom http://blog.chaddickerson.com/2007/02/15/ftd-you-let-me-down/#comment-863 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 11:57:17 +0000 http://www.chaddickerson.com/blog/2007/02/15/ftd-you-let-me-down/#comment-863 As a retail florist, we would never be a member of FTD. Never. We are 100% independent. The problem with FTD and the big on-line flower brokers is (well there are plenty) but the main issue is, they are simply a middleman. They take your money and forward the order to the real florist, often making many errors in the process. The sales reps at FTD often know nothing about flowers at all, they just take a cut of your money and send the order off. They never touch flowers! Save yourself some time, money and frustration and order through a real florist in the neighborhood where you need the delivery made!

If you pay with a credit card, just tell the credit card you never received the service and to issue a credit for services not received. Let them fight it out (FTD and Credit Card). If you paid and did not receive the flowers, just let the credit card know and have them credit the amount back to your account. If FTD tries to charge a second time, tell the credit card it is a fraudulent charge and ask them to take it off your account again. That is why it is better to pay with a credit card for these sort of things. It offers a little bit of protection.

We work throughout the night to fulfil our valentines orders. We would not take on more than we could make in one night and actually take off the buy now icons from our website when orders reach a certain level. You did well to get out of the dog house with your wife/partner though – well done.

The issue is now I can not get them to refund my money. I can’t believe that their customer service is so poor and that they charged me for nothing! I will never use FTD again and hope others follow suit.

Many of us were also hurt on Valentine’s Day through no fault of our own.
If you’d like to read more about what the Real Florists and Consumers have to deal with each and every day then visit FloristDetective.com and other related sites.
As a Real Florist we feel badly that anyone had problems on Valentine’s or any other day, which is why we feel strongly that to minimize potential disaster in the future it is important to support the local Real Florists and cut out the middlemen.
The Real Florists always give you what you pay for !

First of all I received my order in a box (Horrible presentation) I and extremely embarrassed that i even used FTD as an option to send flowers to a loved one. But I was even more upset that the quality of the flowers were unacceptable the roses were delivered with the edges all brown which to me means that they were not fresh at all, I also bought a box of candy and they were not delivered until the next day. they said the candy didn’t get there on time because of an act of “GOD” (Weather) they did give me a refund for the flower but not the candy. Never again will i use FTD!
