What a disaster. I ordered balloons for a new baby to be delivered on Saturday, Feb. 11th. I received a call from the local florist confirming the address and saying the arrangement would be delivered after 3:30. At 5:00 I tried to reach the local florist but only got voice mail. I left a message but did not receive a return call. I then called GiftTree and was told the arrangement would definitely still be delivered that day. At 7:00 I repeated the call to the local florist (voice mail only, left another unreturned message) and again called GiftTree. This time I was told "of course the delivery would not be made that day as the local shop was closed". I cancelled the order and asked for a refund. The following morning I got a call from the local delivery person confirming the address - which was wrong although on my online order it is correct. No apologies from the local or gift tree. I would never use them again.

In a word, horrible. My husband ordered Valentine's flowers to be delivered on Valentine's Day. At 4:00 pm, on Valentines' Day, he receives a call informing him "they cannot complete the order."  Really? Instead of cancelling the purchase without debiting our account, they processed the payment. After speaking to a customer service representative, we were informed that we would have to wait 5-10 business days to receive our refund. Needless to say, we are very unsatisfied customers. I have worked in the banking industry and the currently in the legal field. You can possibly bluff another customer on the procedures, but not me. They had the choice of not processing the charge with the authorization code. They did so anyway. I'll wait the required time to see if we get our refund before taking additional action.

placed an order online for Valentines Day delivery of flowers for my sweetie. Then, on Valentines Day at 11:11 AM I recieve an Email that they are very sorry but will be unable to complete delivery on Valentines Day. But they will be happy to deliver it tomorrow with an apology.......What good is this!? the entire point is that they be delivered ON Valentines Day. When I called their customer service line I waited for over 20 mins, then when i had the nerve to be upset at the situation the rep hung up on me. Have used them before in the past, will never use them OR ANY florist associated with them.

Very, very disappointed. Even though the fine print says no delivery date guarantee it was implied when they charged my card last week for a delivery today. I received an email message today at 10:30 advising that they couldn't deliver today but could tomorrow. Today is Valentine's Day Idiots!!!!!


Never, ever again!

Problem #1: When order was placed the website said the floral arrangement would be delivered the same day. It was not delivered until the following day.

Problem #2: Very amateur job with the arrangement, not a pretty presentation. Looks nothing like photo on website.

Problem # 3: Cute colorful festive container shown in photo on website. What arrived? Disposable container wrapped in florist paper tied with a cheap bow. Terrible!

Problem #4: They say if there is a problem to notify customer service immediatley. Well, I did & guess what? They took my info but said that someone would need to get back to me because no one was available to take my call. I tried the "Live Chat" & it should be named "Dead Chat"- it doesn't work!

So I guess I'll be making a call to my credit card company!

My advice- Stay away!!!

Ordered two Christmas bouquets on the 19th of December to be delivered to two friends not a mile and a half apart.  Imagine my suprise when on Christmas day neither friend had received their gifted flowers with the light up winter village in the center.  Both friends had of course sent me presents so there I was looking like a fool with nothing to offer in return. 

I just called gift tree who informed me that they will have to confirm that they were not in fact received.  Sooooooo, I eplained that the cheescake and the champagne with flutes had arrived at two other friends homes but I'm going to lie about two bouquets of flowers?  Intended or not it was insulting.

Doesn't matter.  They were not helpful in the least.  Telling me to call back tomorrow and they would start investigating.  I'd have done better to just call the florist myself!!!

I thought I'd found a terrific resource for gift buying with ease on the internet...which has proved to be a time consuming source of disappointment and aggrivation instead.  Don't walk, RUN from this website unless a 50% success rate is good enough for you!

I am a volume business customer. This by far was the worst company to deal with. Customer service is non-existent. They gouge you for every penny, and my order was over $500. I specified a delivery date for a business address delivery, and these morons   Read full review...

I had to send out a gift immediately, I was going away on business and wanted to have something in place so I didn’t have to worry about it. I picked out a gift basket with beer and snacks to give to a friend of mine to congratulate him.   Read full review...

I was also hesitant to use the service, due to negative reviews, but the gifts looked so wonderful, and pricing is excellent, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. I am so glad that I made that choice because the 1st gift I ordered was in March, it was delivered a day early, and the recipient said the quality was A+. Since then I have placed 4 more orders, and plan to continue using their service. The personalized gifts are amazing, and the prices - even the shipping costs are hard to beat.

I think there are some bitter people out there who exagerate their experiences, especially about delivery times, because every order I have placed, it clearly says ESTIMATED delivery date. GiftTree also sends the FedEx tracking number, and even the FedEx page clearly states ESTIMATED delivery date.

Common sense should tell anyone that sometimes things happen, and are out of peoples control, so I strongly suggest anybody who has seen the negative reviews to pay no mind to them, and try 1 order for yourself. I did, and can honestly say I continue to be impressed.

I was influenced by the very negative reports I read. So when Gifttree wrote that they had been unable to deliver I suspected the worst and wrote them very upset, and I admit  rude.

The service was excellent the item ordered was deliverd and much appreciated.

I've used this company several times since my first order at Christmas.  They've always done a good job.  Recently they were a huge help when I entered an incorrect address.  I think other sites would have just sent it without checking.  Recipients are always happy.

GiftTree has been handling all my gifting since 2005.  I have sent more than 100 gifts in that time.  The gifts are always wonderful quality and
the service is excellent. I highly recommend GiftTree.com for unique
and wonderful gifts!

I was shopping for a sympathy gift.  I really was impressed by the wine baskets displayed online.  I entered my order only to find out that the specific basket could not be delieverd in my state.  However the baskets that appeared on the same page as this mesage could be. No big deal. I then placed my order, paid, and thought all was taken care of.  My order was to be delievered Tues. but was not because the company delievering has no liquor license. I agreed to let them substitute the wine so the basket would make it on time.  Today is Thursday and still no basket.  Really? What happend to the days of customer service?  Once they have your money they feel as if they can just jack you around.  I would never reccommend you purchase anything from this company.

Never again!!!! I ordered fruit basket for my son's Birthday. I picked the one without any chocolate and without pineapple since he doesn't like them. Picture show fruits and cheese. On the due date they didn't deliver even though he was home until   Read full review...

I am absolutely disgusted with their service! I placed an order on July 3rd - the website showed possible delivery dates of the 4th, the 5th and so on - I selected the 5th because I doubted anyone would deliver on the 4th. On the 5th, I get an email and   Read full review...

Extremely disappointed.  Placed an order for Mother's Day to be delivered on the Friday before.  Friday came and went..no delivery.  Sat same thing.  Monday following Mother's Day I began calling.  "We need to contact our delivery service.  We'll call you"  No call Monday.  Called back Tuesday..same story "We'll call you" Called back Wed same story etc.  No explanation, no offers to make things right.  Basically nothing in the way of customer service.  I realize Mother's Day is probably the busiest day of the year for this type of company but since that's their business I would expect them to know it as well and be prepared.  I will not use them in the future.

I was so surprised to have this awesome gift arrive at my workplace for my 30th birthday! Inside the box, I saw a big basket wrapped in a colorful embossed ribbon that said Happy Birthday and my name on it, which just added to the surprise and made me   Read full review...

My first and last experience with Gift Tree.com was horrible. I placed an order for a flower arrangement and candy. Total cost was 66.00. I was promised delivery on 5/7. The flowers and candy were delivered on 5/8 (1 day late)by a nasty, dirty looking person. The arrangement was extremely small with dying flowers and the candy was soaking wet. I called the florist contracted by Gift Tree to complain about the candy and flowers, they hung up on me! I emailed Gift Tree and was ignored for 4 days. I threatened legal action and they responded. Another 3 days went by with no resolution and I threatened again. Gift Tree finally offered to credit me for the candy and offered a 10.00 gift cert. I refused the offer and contacted my credit card provider to dispute the charge. Buyer beware-Gift Tree promises 100% satisfaction, but does not come close to delivering. I will never buy anything from them again.

Very good service and products. When the merchant was unable to execute delivery to the intended recipient, they called to ask for more information and at my request directly contacted the intended recipient to work out details for delivery. Very helpful. Good follow through. Thank you.
