ordering flowers from FTD, is it a scam?

Question

has anybody had a bad experience with FTD..do they really mail the flowers on time like they say? i read on here that FTD stands for "forget to deliver".

is ftd a scam or a legit flower company?

Answer 1

Forget FTD and all the other on line flower people like Teleflora and others. They are generally NOT reliable! If you wish to send flowers, go to or call a local florist who can take your order and contact a florist in the town where the delivery will be made. This is the safest most reliable way.

Answer 2

I've ordered flowers from FTD after looking at the various pics of arrangements they have. The flowers that show up are often of poor quality for some reason. So I gave up on FTD and now just Google a florist in the town where I want them sent and order that way. I have even called the florist, told them to look at a pic of a bouquet on FTD's website, and they have made it perfectly!



So my advice, don't do FTD. Go to a local. You'll get a better deal. Just google florist and whatever town they are supposed to go.

Answer 3

FTD is legit but they're not very reliable. I've heard several accounts of how they don't deliver.



A co-worker of mine got flowers for Valentine's Day from her boyfriend about 2-3 weeks before the actual date!!! And a friend of mine paid extra $ to ensure delivery on Valentine's Day & they didn't deliver the flowers until the following day.



Don't order from FTD!

Answer 4

FTD is a national association of florists. You order the flowers in your town. Your local florist picks up the phone and call the city where you want the flowers delivered. In that city a florist makes up the boquet and delivers it. They pay a fee to FTD from the amount you pay.

The only problem I have heard of is sometimes the quality of flowers at the recipient florist are not as good as advertised. If you are really leary get the reciever to photograph the boquet and send you the pic.

Answer 5

FTD IS THE WORST FLOWER VENDOR IN THE WORLD. TRIED TO SEND MY GF'S MOM SOME FLOWERS AND IT NEVER CAME. WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS ALREADY DELIVERED! WHEN I TOLD THEM IT WASN'T, THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT MY STORY DIDN'T "MAKE SENSE" AND INITIALLY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A REFUND. AFTER ABOUT 5 MORE PHONE CALLS AND 10 MORE EMAILS, I FINALLY GOT THEM TO SEND ME A FULL REFUND. I WILL NOT BE USING FTD FLOWERS AGAIN. WORST FRIGGIN FLOWER VENDOR I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.

Answer 6

They are legit. I've used FTD florists many times.

Answer 7

use a home town florist!!..... are you sending them across the country?... or to the sweetie in your city?..... a home town florist will also send them out of town, but if they don't do a good job,you've got someone to yell at!!.... besides, they need their business to grow and go well, too... remember how we're trying to rebuild the country's jobs?....

Answer 8
