Avas Flowers

BEWARE! I ordered flowers for same-day delivery for my grandma's funeral. I was notified shortly thereafter that the order could not be delivered until the following evening after 5pm, which would be after the service. Honestly, that's fine, I'm not upset that the order couldn't be delivered as expected, but when I requested to cancel my order, I had the WORST experience! The poor customer service agent (Chris) did her best and was very polite and professional on the call, but kept repeating the same non-cancellation options to me over and over (we could give you a credit, we could deliver to an alternate address, we could give you a discount on your order, etc., etc.). Now, I've worked in call centers before, I know that agents are given a script they have to stick to and are not supposed to take "no" for an answer, so I do not blame Chris in the slightest, but I DO blame Avas for being an unscrupulous organization who seeks to take advantage of grieving families by giving them the run-around when requesting to cancel an order when they have every right to do so. I ended up having to repeat myself "yes, I understand the options, please CANCEL MY ORDER" 10+ times before Chris was finally able to proceed with cancellation. At one point I said "what do I have to say to get you to proceed with cancelling my order?" I spent over 40 minutes on the phone just to request a simple cancellation! That's TERRIBLE customer service! If they had just said "we're sorry, we'll proceed with cancelling your order", I would be giving a 5 star review. An organization has to try really hard to be so awful, so congrats Avas! Never ordering from you again!

On Jan. 26, 2026, ordered a large round red, white and blue wreath from their website, for a dear family friend, who was a highly decorated soldier, who recently passed. I requested a photo of the completed wreath before delivery to make sure it was done correctly and it is what we ordered. They claimed I would receive the photo on the 27th, that never happened. Phoned on the 27th and they said they would send it right over, that never happened either. I found out through an updated email they delivered the arrangement, before we could confirm that was what we ordered. The family sent photos of the flowers that was sent and none of them looked like what we ordered. I notified the funeral home and they are aware, however we cannot confirm anything until the morning of the service, (28th) to which it will be too late. We found out by the funeral home that it was a very small arrangement when we ordered a large. It looks nothing like what we ordered. This has been very distressing for the whole family; we live out of state which makes it more difficult; this is just adding salt to a wound. I would NOT recommend this floral company to no one. I worked with many different florists in Tucson and around AZ, I worked for a funeral home, and this is absolutely unacceptable, unprofessional and irresponsible to the highest degree. They mislead us and was not truthful, to us. And their "credit" is only good if you want to go through the same thing again. I will NEVER use AVAS again, Families beware, I would recommend going to a local florist in the area and not use AVAS.

This company did not deliver as expected. Ordered a beautiful arrangement from their website, ended up with 12 roses stuck in a vase for same price. Would not recommend at all. Had trouble even delivering to address.

I am rejecting this response because:they required additional money on 2/16/for supplies or the order would be canceled, and I only agreed to pay if they guaranteed delivery that dayIt was not deliveredI spoke with a supervisor the next day who thought it was outrageous that they asked for money, and she promised a beautiful basket would be delivered that day(2/17), and if not I could cancelShe called back and left a message saying it could not, so I called back and canceledWith a fight, the customer rep agreedThe next day the basket is delivered and I had already made other gift arrangementsI called make sure they canceled the charge from my card and they said it was held up from the weatherMy mother in law went to work on 2/17, the day of the bad weather so it was obviously not bad out, and furthermore, they promised delivery the day before the bad weatherI find the whole situation unprofessional and lacking in customer careThey agree to cancel my order, and then totally disregard my wishes and send the basket anywayI was going to call my credit card company and dispute the charges, but wanted to give them a chance to do the right thing

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I was ripped off, lied to, and treated as if I had done something wrongThe $that Avas flowers had offered was not even half of a refund when only half of the order was receivedThe $store credit is the last thing I would want from a company that cheated and lied to me.I have no use for it and such a low amount of credit wouldn't even allow for any purchases without me having to spend more money It is outrageous to me that Avas flowers still insists that the order of MULTI color tulips was delivered when the picture of the actual arrangement received clearly shows tulips and only colors present (not the colors I was assured)They tried to claim that there were only colors because Valentines day took up all their supply of pink and red flowers and they were allowed to substitute if neededI again reiterated that I was not informed of any substitutions and half the flowers are still missingFor them insist that the order was correct even though it is blatantly obvious that it wasn't, goes to show that Avas flowers is being stubbornly dishonestObviously, a mistake was made- that is why they made an unsatisfactory offer; but they are not willing to admit their wrong doing or deceptionI reported their mistake within hours and Avas flowers is trying to claim that I didn'tThey gave me the runaround for daysI had to prove I wasn't lying and when I presented irrefutable evidence- they continued to lie about itI have burned up several hours- including lunch breaks just trying to get this company to look at the picture so that they had no choice but to discuss a refundFor all the hassle and trouble they have put me through, I want my full refundAvas Flowers does not deserve my business or my hard earned money Regards, [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because: I spoke to Rep [redacted] and TOLD HIM what I wanted I never asked for an azalea If I could not have the dish garden, that should have been explained to me It absolutely was not, never, ever, ever This response is an absolute lie None of these charges was ever explained to me, not once This business is a sham No one in their right mind would pay $for what I got, not anyone I don't care where you say you got it It wasn't worth $20, and it was a joke They steal your money, pile on charges THAT WERE NEVER, EVER, EVER TOLD TO ME I do not make it a habit of contacting the Revdex.com to complain about businesses Everything I have said is the truth, and Ava's should be ashamed What a ripoff I will tell everyone I can think not to ever use them I wanted to take a picture of what I paid $for, but it would have been in poor taste, seeing as it was near the casket near everyone else's ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENTS My poor friend is dead, and I felt like a cheapskate You charge $for a tiny little square piece of paper you call a card that a LOCAL florist hands out for free???????!!!!!! Two tiny little skinny white RIBBONS like something you pull off the spool for a cheap Christmas gift you charge $apiece for???!!! Are you kidding me? And I was never told of these charges You people are disgusting You make me sick I feel sorry for anyone who gets tricked into using you I am absolutely certain you are operating just under the parameters of the law, but you are immoral Like I said before, do a search anywhere in the country for local florists and who comes up??? Oh, my goodness! It's Ava's They're local everywhere!!!! Yeah, right Seems like I am far from the only one who has the same complaint about your scam I know for a fact other people have contacted the Revdex.com about you I hope you go out of business as soon as possible
