Ordered same day delivery and the delivery driver didn't even bother to call. They just dumped it at the front desk without notifying anyone. If it hadn't been for the front desk calling me from work, I wouldn't have ever known and missed out on getting the flowers for the special day. Never going to them again. read more

Well since the owner himself doesn't want to see my pictures of the flowers that were delivered today from Gaineville Florist Exchange on 13th Street maybe you guys would like to see them. The owner was very rude and said he had 120 orders to fulfill and didn't need to see my photos... just bring them back and he would fix them. Totally unacceptable read more

So to celebrate my wife's cancer survivor day I ordered from Teleflora (thought reputable..NOT!) a BC bouquet. Arrived looking beautiful, after a day(!) started wilting. By day 3, petals falling off and flowers looking sad, like they didn't want to be here. (See pics). Very disappointed especially since if I had bought flowers from Publix probably would have lasted at least a week or more! Oh called Teleflora they offered 40% off NEXT order..really?!!! Stand by your company and contract with businesses that care about their product. read more

Every. Single. Year. Every. Single. Year! Someone sends me a gift through a third party vendor, that vendor uses Gainesville Floral Exchange and Gainesville Floral Exchange finds a way to MESS up the order. You just dropped this off not even an hour ago, I picked it up from the base to bring inside and this immediately happens. Look at the quality of what you delivered, cause clearly you didn't, brown spots and more. You all have no sense of professionalism whatsoever. You just stay connected with 3rd party vendors and rip people off. Shameful! I'm posting this so all Gainesville folks know to stay away from you! Save their money and aggravation. read more

I wish FTD would have told me who was delivering the flowers because the EXACT same thing as the last person mentioned happened to me when using this company. I spent $50 on a cute arrangement and when it was delivered it had the wrong/less/dead flowers. I was sent a picture of the arrangement and it had holes/filled with cheap fillers like daisies & fern instead of roses. It's been over a week and just today I finally got the order to be canceled after the "promised and were very willing" to be helpful and exchange the order. It never happened. Instead there were rude voicemails left and terrible work that was suppose to pass for quality. DO NOT use this company. read more

Ordered these for my mom because she's just been amazing lately with helping me out with wedding planning and the arrangement they sent was a hot mess. Never ever use them!! 1-800-Flowers was appalled and refunded the whole thing. True embarrassment. read more

Gainesville Floral Exchange - Looks like a dismembered bear with head trauma. - Florists Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

K.McGriff. Deserves 0 Stars!!! I received an order of flowers for my birthday from a family member. The first order of flowers were delivered with broken stem of rose, carnations, all four Rose's were very old and bruised, flowers were jammed in a vase with no design at all. I called and was told that I would receive an upgrade the next day. Today I received the "upgrade". It is a smaller arrangement, broken flowers and greenery. I told the man that this was a downgrade with less flowers than the first order. The man was rude, unprofessional and no apology was given even hung up the phone. Terrible customer service, flowers are old, bruised or broken. DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA. DOES NOT DESERVE ANY STARS ZERO RATING!!! read more

My cousin and I send flowers to each other every year for our birthday. We both order directly from locally owned businesses. Well this year my daughter and granddaughter saved up to send me flowers for my 65th. They shopped online looking for just the right reds, including roses.. They found an arrangement but upgraded the size, spending well over a hundred. The flowers arrived addressed to the person sending them, but on time. The arrangement was wider than my hand and so small. I am not sure who she ordered them from, but she cried when she saw them and was embarrassed, all she did was apologize and keep telling she pay for such a small arrangement. I tried to attach a picture, sorry. I agree with Luis, she could have gotten a nicer arrangement at Publix. Don't waste your money. read more

This florist left flowers outside in 90 degree weather for plus 5 hours, so needless to say they were dead when I received and the balloon deflated. I called, they were apologetic, seemed to care and were going to make it right. They re-delivered directly into my hand, half dead flowers and a semi-deflated balloon. Stop the driver before he left to say, sir these are still dead. Told me nothing he could do to call the owner. Called the owner and he stated the flowers were fresh and just left the shop, which was an outright lie. I had called the shop at approximately 1:30pm and the lady said the driver was leaving then. He didn't show up until 3 hours later. So let's see, poor quality product. Lack of integrity. Poor customer service. This 1 star is being generous at best. Pay a little more and use a real florist. And if using a 3rd party vendor, stress florist but this one! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. This place is an absolute scam. The arrangement I received was 1/3 of the actual size and half the flowers were dead. The message that goes along with the flowers had words spelled wrong (not even kidding). I paid for a balloon, but never got it. Oh, and I got it at 8:30 at night. I emailed them 3 times about this and never heard back ONCE. This place is an absolute scam and I hope they go out of business. Please, get flowers anywhere else. When I show this to people, they can't believe it. This picture was taken the very night I received them. read more

Gainesville Floral Exchange - Deluxe bouquet? Severely disappointed. - Florists Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The worst company I have ever had dealings with! They texted my wife that the address was not showing up correct and they needed her to call . They ruined the surprise of our 19 year anniversary and then when I called back to get it fixed they said nothing about my address being wrong but they just wouldn't deliver to it to the address of the order that they accepted to do from online fromyouflowers.com . Now my wife knew that she was going to get flowers today and now is not getting anything! Fromyouflowers.com is just as bad when I called them for help! read more

This is actually the worst place and worst costumer service I've had. My boyfriend ordered me flowers and they came 1/3 of the size of the photo online and they were 80$ and it was the value of MAYBE 15$ at most so I went into the shop and the customer service is AWFUL and they refused to refund us ALSO took my flowers so I've left with no flowers and no refund. Extremely rude and condescending workers. I've been on the phone trying to get this refund but no luck. Save your money!!!!! If I could give zero stars I would. I don't want to drag this experience on but wow........so rude and unprofessional. The woman who runs the place told me "well your boyfriend should read more instead of expect it took look like the photo on the website obviously it's photoshopped" WHAT LOL read more

Horrible horrible horrible! They lie about their deliveries and they always replace the actual flowers you order with something cheap and dead looking without lowering the cost. Would give zero stars if possible. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! read more

Flowers seemed near dead. I give them 2 stars only because my girlfriend did like them, but she is sweet and probably would not complain either way. The flowers they delivered were not what I asked for and they claimed that this arrangement that didn't look as nice as the ones at Publix was a "$50 arrangement." Second time I went in I went to the store to pick up, I paid up front and they messed up the order again, told me they would put it in a smaller nicer vase (ease of travel) then they did, but would not fix. The person who writes the notes has terrible hand writing, so make sure you do that yourself (which means order and delivery are not an option). read more

What a joke!! Called to send my son 5 Mylar balloons and a rose in a vase. Could tell whoever answered the phone could care less. My son ends up with a single rose in a vase. That's it! Who would pay the delivery for just that! So I called and yes, the delivery person went back to deliver the balloons. Only their were just 3 instead of 5. OMG!! I know the sun is strong in Florida but these people are totally burnt!! Finally got the 5 mylars and red rose by the end of the night! read more

Got two flower bouquets delivered to the office for Administrative Professionals day (one was for me!) while the bouquets were gorgeous, colorful, fresh and whimsy....they both were tainted by the delivery guy...who smoked cigarettes in the car with them...and so they reek of it. even hours later.....REEK. I feel very bad for my boss who ordered these, as she said "its a shame" you cannot even smell them or get near them. we had to put them far far away from our desks. DO NOT order from this company. read more

Who's the owner of this place?! I want my money back. The most unprofessional business I have ever been to. Don't buy shit from this place. They don't answer the phones, and they blocked emailing on their website. So, you can't contact them. I've been calling for the past two weeks. I'm in another state, but my people will be showing up! You're a fucking flower shop!! How in the hell do you fuck up flowers? read more

I was supposed to get a bouquet delivered on Valentines Day and got it two days later, which kind of defeats the purpose. I'm sure it's their busiest time of year, but this is unacceptable, a lot of people could be in hot water with their SO. read more

0 STARS!! This company is very unprofessional!! My boyfriend ordered flowers for me to be delivered for Valentines Day. The whole day passed...no flowers. He has made endless calls to the company, no answer...no voicemail. The surprise of having the flowers delivered was blown, he asked me to go to the front desk and ask if a delivery came for me. The next morning, still nothing, no answer...no email or anything! Please do not waste your money with this company!! read more

They are horrible! I ordered a very large, very expensive bouquet for my mother, long distance (I'm in Maryland) and not once, but twice sent out a very small bouquet. I have already put in a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. I would NEVER use this company! read more

Wish I had read the other reviews here before I ordered from here. The flowers looked NOTHING like the picture. The arrangement was full of cheap substitutions and considerably smaller than advertised. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. read more

Warning! When they say "substitutions" they are not kidding. Why have Telefloral pictures to choose from when they use a defense of "but they were still roses". Why not have five buttons on the website: "some roses" "some tulips", "some daisies" etc! When you are a 1,000 miles away and want to get just the right flowers to someone then how does one do that? What a system to encourage sloppy work! What is someone this far away going to do? Instead of all light pink roses accented with little white and purple sprays-- they were a just a mix of dark pink and yellow roses. The whimsical quality of the Telefloral picture was due to the Queen Anne lace and other little accents. What we got was LESS roses then pictured on website and that were just shoved in a pot. A completely different pot by the way. They did call me about the pot. Were they too embarrassed to tell me the the major substitutions they were about to do on the flowers? No whimsy, no artful arrangement, just flowers. This to me is bad customer service. Go elsewhere if you want accuracy, honesty and friendly service. Shame! Next time I will just use a mail flower delivery service--cheaper and looks the same. read more

Thank you to Gainesville Floral Exchange for creating a beautiful corsage for my son's prom date. I greatly appreciated their assistance in making a unique corsage to go with a royal blue prom dress. The corsage was perfect and they went above and beyond to assist me. I highly recommend them. read more

Very disappointing experience. Order a Mothers Day corsage on May 1 to be delivered May 9. That did not happen. Florist attempted to deliver on Mothers Day at 4 p.m. in the afternoon after all of the day's activities were done. Won't answer their telephone. Won't respond to message placed on their website. Recommend avoiding this business. read more

I ordered an arrangement of flowers through this company for my girlfriend. When they called me, I instructed them to leave it at the front office of her apartment. It didn't happen. In a rather coincidental timing of events, I was actually on the phone with my girlfriend when she saw the delivery man walk into the office and leave with the flowers in his hands. Assuming that the people in the office instructed him to take the flowers to her apartment like they usually do, she waited at her apartment for him to arrive. However, he never did. I called the florist, asking what the problem was. Not only did the man working there have no method of contacting his driver, he also informed me that the delivery man had left the flowers on the front desk, when, clearly, he did not. I should also add that the man was a complete and total smartass. The bottom line: my girlfriend never recieved the flowers, for which I paid good money as a result of this company's astounding incompetence. To all who read this, anyone who has any measurable level of intelligence should NEVER SOLICIT THIS BUSINESS. Judging by my own personal experience and the other two reviews I read on this website, I honestly have no concievable idea how this company still manages to make ends meet. read more

DO NOT BUY!!! Today we put our family member to rest and the Floral Exchange took it upon there selves to deliver something different than what we ordered. When my mother (someone who is much nicer than me) called them, they said that she should be happy because they upgraded her order. The plant was half the size of what they promised and not in the same pot she ordered. They said if she wasn't happy they would ACTUALLY go to the grave side or funeral home and pick it up. How unbelievably rude and disgusting? This is from the manager and he asked my mother "What more do you want me to do?". We put to rest a Sargent of the Alachua County Sheriff's office today and this is the respect we get. Again...they WILL disappoint, believe the one-star rating this company has managed to EARN! All I can say is karma will find you. We are grieving and you are robbing people of their last wishes for loved ones. You do not have the authority to change an order and tell us we should be grateful! You should have simply apologized and recognized your mistake! Never again Floral Exchange! We will stick with Crevasse's Florist next time as we have in the past with no disappointment! By the way, this was a $60 order with delivery and it looked like a $10 plant from Wal-Mart. read more
