We have reviewed this rejection and we see that Mr. [redacted] was not satisfied with the original arrangement that was delivered by the local designer. We normally require the ability to pick up an unsatisfactory arrangement before making a redelivery, but this was waived and a second arrangement was delivered by a different designer. The customer also expressed his dissatisfaction with that order. Despite the fact that both arrangements were kept, an exception was made to offer a resolution which was accepted by Mr. [redacted] by phone on July 3rd. We understand that Mr. [redacted] has now rejected this, but we feel we have made a good faith effort to resolve this matter.SincerelyChristopher U[redacted]Customer Satisfaction SpecialistAvas Flowers

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your son. I also apologize for the issues experienced as mentioned. The shop did have computer issues and received the order too late to make the delivery to the service. The shop contacted the church for a home address but instead, delivered the...

plant to the minister, on Sunday, at the church for them to give it to the family, which was done. As a sign of good faith, a partial refund of $49.99 has been issued as shown: A refund of $49.99 has been applied to order no:, [redacted]The following email was sent to "[redacted]":A refund in the amount of $49.99 has been issued. It may take your bank up to 10 days to process this refund. We apologize for any inconvenience

We are unable to locate the customers order. Please provide the order#, date the order was placed and the last name of the recipient too.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:In speaking with my Credit Card company, they indicate no action has been made to refund the funds. Also, the above message indicates they refunded me in full, however, earlier today I got an email from the owner of the company ([redacted]) who says he believes he can clear it up, that no charge was made and so I will not see a refund. (His email dated 9/8 1243pm (PST) - There are so many conflicting messages about why they cannot refund, why they must deduct a service fee (even though no service was ever provided) and also that there would be a refund, and then Mr. [redacted] message saying no refund, due to my never being charged...and now, this response to Revdex.com stating a refund has been processed. I will give time to have the pending charge still showing with my credit card to either drop off, be refunded, or cancelled. Until then, I don't have any faith that an actual refund is coming to me. Also, I have much documentation (times, names, contact duration, status of calls, emails to/from this company) that I can provide to show that not only should it never take a customer this long and this much effort to try to resolve an erroneous charge by this company (they do not provide service to the city they took the order for, but were determined to keep my money for it), and that it appears that if a customer isn't as persistent to fight this, they are just left with the charge and no service....multiply that by the thousands of complaints listed against this company and that adds to a lot of money! I believe this company is practicing fraudulent business practices and is getting away with it, just because they can....it takes too much to try to get the situation resolved. Additionally, the city I was ordering to have flowers delivered to, but that even though they took the order, they do not service, is not the only city that is listed in their online store for services which they do not serve, but do charge for. This needs to be corrected. Lastly, the [redacted] logo displayed on the Avas Flowers website is in violation to licensing terms by [redacted], since the company is not an affiliated florist of [redacted], and leads customers to incorrectly believe they are dealing with an authorized [redacted] store. I believe that needs to be reviewed and corrected, as well. 
Regards,

Our policies do state that we need to speak with the local designer first, but that does not mean a refund can not be given. Please contact your bank to end the dispute then call us for a refund as we can not process one while this is being contested.

To whom it may concern,Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us regarding [redacted]' recent order with us. The order was completely cancelled and refunded as the shops that deliver to [redacted] area were at capacity when Ms [redacted]' placed the order. At the end of the day on 2/14, the...

shops advised us they were also at capacity for the following days due to walk in orders from local customers, so we had no choice to cancel and refund Ms [redacted]' order. Though we release the funds immediately, the refund process can take 3-10 business days depending on the financial institution who provides credit services to the customer. We cannot assist Ms [redacted]' further with her refund as we have already processed the refund and released the funds. Ms [redacted]' was advised of this when she spoke on a representative on 2/15.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and they did give a refund. This does not excuse their business practice, lies by multiple agents, and ruining Mothers Day for my family. It will not be forgiven nor forgotten and I will never use their company nor recommend it based on the extreme sub par service or care they showed my family.
