Flora2000 / Orios review: rotten bouquet ( 16 comments)

Amazing design and finest quality is integral to Flora2000.

We were surprised and shocked to see such a malicious complaint about us on this website. On investigation, we observed that the image posted
along with this complaint, is an airbrushed version of an image associated with another brand. The original image is available when googled for ‘Rotten Flowers’.

This complaint is a fraudulent claim with intent to hamper our brand. However with more than a decade of experience, we continue to provide the finest floral compositions along with personalized service to all our patrons.

I have been using Flora2000 for several years and came upon a terrible discovery with the help of the internet and video chat. The Swiss florist that Flora 2000 uses does not deliver what you thought you purchased. The pictures on the Flora2000 Website are worthless, and much worse, the florist will deliver an embarrassingly sparse bouquet if they don't have all the flowers necessary for the bouquet! I will never use them again because of this. You pay $100 for a few flower clippings! Not only that, it took 3 weeks to resolve my issue. First Flora2000 said that they would have the florist redeliver the correct bouquet at no cost to me. Didn't happen. Three weeks later I called back furious. Flora2000 apologized and refunded my money. But the headache and heartache that I went through is unacceptable! My mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. These flowers were supposed to cheer her up. Instead of focusing on her, we started every conversation with, "Have the flowers arrived yet?" "I'm sorry" "This is a horrible Swiss florist." If Flora2000 wants my business back, they will either pick a better florist for Swiss orders, or they will pay the florists enough money to give us the DAMN BOUQUET WE ORDERED FROM THE WEB SITE !

Dear MPosse,

The site sucks, I totally agree with you. flora2000 is indeed a worst floral site i have ever encountered. I too faced the same things and found that the bouquet is all torn and 3-4 days old. i hope people will never order anything from the site.

flora2000 F**k you...

Oh my God,
How bad is this company. Firstly I ordered flowers to be sent and requested them for a certain date. They missed not 1 but 2 delivery dates. They blamed it on a national holiday in the country. I had advised them that it wasnt my problem as they sent me a confirmation email 1DAY BEFORE that they could not send the flowers. They had apologised and arranged for the next day. The next day I had to ask the recipient indirectly if she had received anything and that just ruined it. Imagine my surprise that the 2nd delivery date the flowers were not sent. They had then agreed that they screwed up and that they would not charge me for this service. They had also advised me that they would apologise to the recipient that they had messed up the order TWICE!
I should have been a bit happier free flowers sent and a 50% off offer on next order.
WRONG $30 off next order to be used in 45 days. Wrong flowers sent! No apology letter or call to recipient. AND BEST OF ALL NO REFUND!
DO NOT EVER USE FLORA 2000 IF YOU DO YOU ARE THE MOST DAFT PEOPLE ON EARTH.
All these complaint i feel stupid

YAH! you are right imran. flora2000 is truely an ugly website which got all dark colors and looks like horror. the people world in this website are motherf**kers.

I think what you post in your comment/complaint (including abusive language and stupid claims) on a public forum reflects how dumb someone is! I've always been very happy with flora2000. On my last order too, I was assisted by very smart people to make a flower choice to my girlfriend..they not just selected an arrangement for me, but also kept me informed about the status. The flowers reached fresh and i was delighted.

The other guy from the flora company has already shown this is a fraud mail. grow up guys!

I don't think there is enough room on this message board to accurately disrcribe the horror and mistreatment I have recieved from this company, and this after having been a valued customer for more than three years. I would not suggest this website to anyone looking for the flowers that they think they are purchasing for their loved ones. You are better off picking your own wild flowers by the side of the highway before ever entrusting these people with your faith in them and and more importantly your money. They are notorious for not delivering what you order and what was promised through their limited catalouge. They have screwed up my order for the last time and I am now on the hunt for a good international florist. Not to mention their customer service is pathetic. You can't even get a human on the phone because when you call the number listed it just rings and then hangs up on you. I hate you Flora2000!

"Richard Fullham" needs to undergo a serious review of his company's internal processes, instead of trying to brighten up an image that is so tarnished by now. My story adds up to the bad experiences revealed so far...
I had ordered from flora2000 on multiple times before; they were honest, timely, and customer oriented. Since Mid-2010, i have had continuous incidents, that questions their credibility and business ethics:
Incident 1 in November 2010: A surcharge of around 10% was deducted from my account, that was not announced and not mentioned on their receipt. Then my order was put on hold, since i was not answering their phone call intended to verify my identity; i had given them a cell phone number and it never rang! After chatting with them online, and explaining that they never called, they insisted that they were calling me at the same minute, and i am not answering! i gave them an alternative number, a land line, and asked them to try, they replied that i am not answering as well; at that point, i asked them to give me their phone number for me to call them, they refused, stating that their policy mentions that they are the ones who are supposed to call ! They never suggested alternatives and they were just passing time with my order on hold and the birthday due date was imminent, which prompted me to request the cancellation and refund of my order.

Incident 2 in April 2011: an exact repeat of incident 1, except that this time i was predicting their answers on every step, and did request as of day 1, to cancel and refund my order.

Incident 3 In April 2011: My Fiance, who rejected my advices and insisted on using Flora2000 as she had very good experience with them earlier, ended up with a big mess and missed the "mother's day". Her case was different than mine, as they never attempted to verify her identity by phone call, but just went ahead with the order. At first they sent a very polite email saying that the ordered flowers are not available, and they will switch the flowers with another type; she accepted. Then they sent another email, saying that their might be a delay of 24 hours since they are overloaded. When the deadline passed, she tried to call them and talk to them online, they were out of reach for a complete 5 days. After successfully reaching them 5 days after the delivery date, they had no info nor updates, and suggested to cancel the order and refund the money (their answer to everything), and grant a 10 USD coupon on future orders.

In short, they have serious managerial problems, resulting in an inability of serving us properly. The above incidents, though seemed fun to read, they were a very stressful experience, and can easily loose a half day trying to correct a situation in order not to miss an important due date, while on the other side, Flora2000 are not that eager to make things work for you.

Bardzo dobry! I been sent flowers from my friend in London. I got a very piękne buquet of red n orange roses. I was at home when the flowers came. A very polite man delivered the flowers to me. I also got a call after two days from Flora2000 to check if i was happy with flowers. Very beuatiful flowers. Now I will test them for valentine's day this year. let me see if they give me a good service too.

"I received the same email twice: "We regret to inform you that your order could not be delivered as scheduled owing to a transmission error." I paid and my girlfriend never received the flowers. I was and I am so upset with this company that if I could pay a global publicity I would do it delighted because they don't know what is customer services and responsability. If you want to send flowers and get a stroke use flower2000. My Review is totally true and you can see my order #1264271 with flora2000. I have cancelled the order and I am still waiting for my money." Dont' use this company if you want to waste your time and or if you don't want to lay dead of a stroke.

Never delivered !

Failed to deliver flowers and gave no refund
