      Order placed 7/11/25 for delivery between 7/15 and 7/17. Received an initial confirmation that ***** had the gift basket and then nothing. I called 7/17 for an update and no one at Harry and David could tell me where my basket was. They said if it wasnt received by the recipient by end of day on 7/18 that a replacement basket would be sent overnight. Recipient never received the package so I called on 7/18 and was told that a replacement package would be sent OVERNIGHT on 7/21. Its 7/21 and I never got a confirmation that the package was shipped so I called again only to be told that my package had not shipped. I requested a refund for a basket that was for a friend that had been diagnosed with cancer. This used to be a good company. I will never order from them again. Paid over $100 for a basket for my friend and now I have to start the process all over.

      Refunding my money is the least you could have done.  You're right, my friend did receive the basket today, a basket that has been sitting with *** since Monday, July 13th.  The fruit was rotten and the cheese was warm and had to be thrown out.  Great customer service ********************** and **********************!

      Ordered a Mothers Day basket for my mother. Was checking to make sure it was going to arrive on time and upset it was not! I use their online chat. They apologized and said that it would be delivered the next day Monday after Mothers Day and they would reimburse the shipping. The item did not arrive on Monday the next day. I then did online chat again and also called them where I was on hold or on the phone for at least 30 minutes (took a screenshot) where they had no resolve. They were just going to reimburse me and my 84 yr old mother never received a gift for Mothers Day. I have ordered from Harry and David several times before! I am a returning customer. After all that time spent giving me their misleading information and all I got was a reimbursement and nothing was sent to my mother. I decided to reach out to BBB when they sent me a catalog - why I would ever order from them again.?!

      On 06/30/2025, ***** attempted to deliver a Meat and Cheese Basket and a bottle of wine, and a get-well card to my friend in *******. My order #********** had to be refused because it was obvious the wine bottle had burst and the contents were damaged. My friend called me immediately, and I called Harry & David on 06/30/2025 to get everything replaced. The Harry & David **************** Representative apologized profusely and assured me that everything would be replaced and would be received by my friend on July 7, 2025. The **************** Agent replaced only the basket. My friend did not receive the wine or the get well card on 07/07/2025.I called Harry and David once again, on 07/07/2025 and told them that the wine and the get well card were missing. I was told the wine and card would be expedited and replaced on 07/11/2025! (today)I looked up my account online so I could alert my friend so that she would be available to sign for the wine today, only to find that the delivery date for the card and the wine had been changed to delivery on 07/17/2025! I immediately called Harry and David once again this AM to discuss my disappointment and they said they could not replace the wine any faster because the wine would not be available to ship until 07/17/2025! I have been a loyal customer of ********************** and **********************, and they need to refund me for this entire order due to the deception I experienced, the time I have spent on the phone, and the embarrassment caused by their inadequate service.I ordered this gift, from Harry and David, for my friend on 06/19/2025 today is 07/11/2025 and she still has not received her wine or her get-well card! I need some compensation for my loyalty and for my inconvenience and embarrassment!

      On June 1, 2025, I searched "Lavender plant wreath" to order for a loved one who passed away and loved lavender. Harry and David's Herb ****** is the first one shown for $110 with a 20% discount. I clicked and tried to get the discount coupon to open to bring it to the advertised price of *****. I paid $30 to expedite the delivery to 6/4/25. My communication with the "Chat" did not provide guidance, so I was transferred to "*****", who also communicated through texts. I ordered it anyway as it was something for a funeral.6/2 - I received an email stating that it would be delay from 6/3 and delivered 6/4, which was fine. I called the number to verify because my confirmation stated 6/5 - too late. The customer service agent could not help. I decided to wait and hope the tracking indicated in transit.6/3 - I received and email stating that the item is no longer available. The order confirmation did not state this. I would have looked elsewhere had I known. I talked to an agent and supervisor, stating that this is unacceptable. I requested my full refun of $163.59. The supervisor said she would send Moose Munch or Truffles as an apology, as that is there policy. I said I would take the free truffles (1, 2,10?). She said she would refund my order.6/3 I followed up with an email detailing the miscommunication and unaccepatble business practices.6/3 PM - I received an email stating that I would be charged $109 for the Sympathy Truffles (which were not ordered). I called and explained, again, the debacle of their company. I requested a full refund of $163.59, was not paying for truffles, so cancel any charges. I was told she would do what she could but that the truffles might already be in transit and I would be charged.This is unaceeptable; miscommunication, AI email responses which are not accurate reflections of the the conversations, and charges that should be refunded. I do not have my wreath. I am being charged.

      In December, I purchased a "6 month plant of the month club" as a gift for my mother. As it was described, my mother was to receive a different plant each month. Each month had a designated plant. Each plant was to be delivered with the minimum of the name of the plant, but also with the care that the plant required. This is now the 6th month and this has not happened once. She received her first plant... without any description or direction. With a week it was dead. I called and asked for this plant to be replaced. I was told that they are "out of gardenias". I asked that it be replaced with a different plant... I was told there was only the mini rose available for the following month. We did not want this since she would already be receiving a mini rose. They offered me credit. Which I took and placed an order for ***** popcorn. The popcorn was never delivered. She did received the mini rose in Feb. In March she should have received a Pothos plant but did not receive ANYTHING!!! When I called about this, I was told that it was canceled and they did not know why! In April, she should have received a Gerbera daisy... again nothing!!!! This time when I called they told me that they don't know why she did not receive anything but that they would send her a Gardenia ... which they did. Come May, I called to inquire to make sure that she would receive her plant, which she WOULD NOT have if I did not call! Again, they are not sure why!!! Now we are in June... I just received an email stating that her plant has been shipped. We will see.I have spoken for endless hours with customer service **** trying to find out what the problem is. No matter who I speak to, nobody has an answer. When I make a complaint, they apologize. Yet, NOTHING is changed. I use 1-800-FLOWERS quite often. However, I will NEVER use this company or any of it's counterparts ever again. This was an absolutely horrendous experience. This company should be ashamed.

      May 7, 2025 Order #: ********** I ordered the Thank You Deluxe Favorites Gift Basket Item #: *****XR Price: $114.98 Delivery date Week of May 12 During the week of May 12, I noticed that theyd arbitrarily changed the delivery date to January 2026! When I called they said some of the items were out of stock. So they had me choose a different gift basket and promised delivery by May 16. I chose:Market Tote Gift Item #: *****X Price: $119.99 Not only did they not deliver the item, they actually canceled the order without letting me know. I called customer service and was on hold for almost an hour before giving up. I must note that I explained that this gift was for a professional occasion and therefore stressed the importance of delivering it that week since a previous order on April 30 had also been cancelled due to Harry & Davids incompetence. I have been so embarrassed having to explain to my professional colleagues why the thank you gift has now been cancelled twice after wasting their time verifying twice that they would be home when gift is delivered because it has perishables. This is just completely unacceptable and unprofessional.

      I ordered a box of Chocolates for Mother's Day only for the item to be shipped WITHOUT an ice pack to *******. Mind you they charge $17.99 for Shipping and I paid for the passport $29.99 add-on instead - considering it may be a good site for future gifts. (Shipped from GA warehouse) It came completely melted so CS agrees to send an expedited replacement for the next day. (May 15) I check back and come to find the item got place on HOLD due to being "unable to reach delivery deadline" and won't be expected till May 29th - What?? This second CS interaction was terrible because the agent couldn't even process the refund and barred me from any proper offers to make this horrible situation right. Saying that policy is either refund or replacement - not even acknowledging how ridiculous this circumstance is, failed first attempt remedy, and should be going above and beyond to make it right. I expressed that I the passport add-on should also be given consideration due to horrible shipping ****************** I see you offered a total refund AND replacement to others here - which seems appropriate given the ridiculous delivery and cs experience - wasting my time and money plus disappointing my Mom. Order #: ********** Order #: ********** (the replacement that was supposed to be expedited)I am also seeking that the shipper be held accountable for not following packing policy.

      Ordered Easter dinner for my mom, paid extra for fast delivery. It was supposed to arrive Saturday before Easter. It was not delivered on time so we requested a refund. The food was finally delivered on Monday and the box was ruined. The steaks were warm and had bled onto everything in the box. The cheesecake was melted and smashed, nothing was salvageable but we didn't really worry because we had already been refunded. Except we haven't been refunded. They say the refund was processed 4/21 but I still don't have it. I don't blame Harry and David for the delay or warm ****** box, that's all ***** but I do blame them for telling me it's been refunded when it has not. I have to actually dispute the charge with my bank. Originally I spoke to an agent on the phone who said I would get email confirmation for the refund, I did not. A few days later I spoke to an agent in chat who said the refund was processed, it would take 10 business days and they would not be able to send a confirmation email so I took a picture of the chat. It's now well past 10 business days, I chat with an agent today who assures me the refund is complete, I took a picture of that chat too because in order to dispute the charge with my bank I need some proof that they said they would refund me. Now my bank gets to deal with them. Getting a refund for this problem shouldn't be this annoying. I don't think I'll order from them again over this.
