Never Order From ProFlowers.comOn April 27th I heard a reminder on the radio that Mother's Day was just around the corner. I sat down at my computer and thought I'd just take care of ordering flowers for both my Mom and Greg's Mom right there and then. I placed two orders and got Saturday delivery since they don't deliver on Sunday. I was pretty darn pleased with myself for being so on the ball and getting this out of the way early.Friday May 12th: I get an email from ProFlowers. There is a glitch with one of the orders, but not to worry....the flowers will arrive on Saturday.If everything is okay, why email me?? *rolls eyes*I should have known right there that is was going to trun out badly. When we tell people there was a glitch, something bad happened. It's another way of saying "We messed up your order".Saturday May 13th: My Mom got her flowers. The vase I ordered with the flowers was cracked and the leaves were full of holes from bugs eating them. Nice.Sunday May 14th: Greg called his Mom and asked how the flowers looked. "What flowers?" she said.Checked email and there was a message from ProSuckyFlowers: "That glitch we told you to ignore really means that the flowers sent to Indiana are not actually going to arrive on time. We're sorry. Next time you use our sorry-ass company to send flowers, we will ship them for free. Your order code for the free shipping is: "we.suck".Called ProSuckAssFlowers twice and FedEx once. The short story is, ProCrapAssFlowers sent the flowers from Chicago to Indiana via freight truck and they would be there Tuesday May 16th. And, they were in a box....so they would arrive dead. Sorry ~ but you can have free shipping on your next order! :)Uh, no. I will get free shipping on this order. As the matter of fact, you will refund my whole order.Tueday May 16th: Called to have a replacement order sent to Greg's Mom. This should have been done Sunday when I called, but we are talking about ProDumbAssFlowers here. Here is how the call went:UnProfessionalFlowers: New flowers will arrive Saturday.Me: Huh? Saturday!? UnProfessionalFlowers: Okay, how about Friday?Me: Friday?? How about over night, Einstein!UnProfessionalFlowers: Nope, Friday is the best we can do.*shakes head and rolls eyes*Whatever.Which brings me back to never order from UnProfessionalSuckyAssCrapFlowers.com. posted by Kitty Wednesday, May 17, 2006
