My daughter sent me flowers for Mother's Day, what she ordered and what I got look nothing alike, I know there are substitutions sometimes but there are literally 3 roses, 3 carnations, and 3 star gazer lilies. This was over $60 plus delivery, etc. She's a college student and her money is limited. read more

My daughter called on Mother's Day asking how I like the flowers. "What flowers?" She said they were delivered, but apparently not to me. After calling and complaining, the florist said they would send another, and they did. But it was the most pathetic bunch I've ever seen. I just hope she didn't pay much for them. read more

Destiny's Precious Gifts - Sad Bunch of Flowers - Florists Near Me - Salinas, California

My son sent these to me from another country, and boy did he pick a good place. I can hardly believe this florist had so many complaints, please listen to my praise. The red roses are long stemmed and HUGE, and after 2 weeks look as good as new! The daisies are adorable and also still fresh 2 weeks later...Then there are the Lilies, they are opening a few days apart and my house smells amazing. The teenager who delivered them by hand in a vase full of water was the beginning of my nice surprise, thank you Destiny's! read more

Horrible service! I ordered my mother in law flowers for mothers day. Not only were they delivered a day and a half late, they were dead, small, and the water already had film in it as if it sat at the least over night! The company said they would redeliver with an upgrade. Not only did she not get the upgrade, she never got her flowers! And now I'm having to call repeatedly to try to get a refund which I still haven't gotten. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! I SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED WITH RED ROSES FLOWERS IN SALINAS! THEY HAVE NEVER MESSED UP A DELIVERY. read more

I'm so disappointed in Teleflora and contracted florist. What was ordered and what was actually delivered was embarrassing to say the least. Not only did the arrangement look sad...they didn't even deliver as requested. I placed the order on a Wednesday for a Friday delivery. Called Teleflora TWICE to cancel since the delivery never made it as requested. I then get a notification from the recipient that it was delivered...on Tuesday. That's four days late from the requested date! I understand that flowers would be subbed if the florist is not able to deliver the same exact...which I was fine with. But what was delivered has got to be a joke. This place should be ashamed. read more

The picture says it all. I just wanted care and compassion. When I tried to call the florist to complain and ask for a redo they blocked my number or didn't respond at all. I get we are all in a pandemic and times are tough. I'm willing to compromise but don't ghost me when I never even gave you a reason to find me anything but kind. I strive on being the best version of yourself everyday and this just honestly made me cry. I paid $100 for this. That's not what I was expecting. I wish the company the best but next time please do better. It's all anyone can do during these times. I'm sorry but I'm not. God bless you never get treated the way you did my family and I. read more

Destiny's Precious Gifts - Patriotic Floral Arrangment - Florists Near Me - Salinas, California

They take orders from 800flowers FTD etc... people pay these big online vendors selecting a pristine floral arrangement from a photo on their website and this Destiny's place gets the order from the big websites and then frauds the customer and recipient by delivering substandard unprofessional bouquets that look nothing like what the customer ordered then hides behind the company so you have to Complain to them and they only want to refund half back, that why she hangs up on you and won't call back for days just to tell you to call where you ordered them from! Shame on this business doing this to people! From the Yelp reviews they have done lots of shitty stuff to customers! read more

HORRIBLE! If I could leave 0 stars I would. Do NOT shop here. My order was a day late, the note did not have my name on it, chocolates were not delivered, teddy bear was in a gross plastic wrap from china, flowers were incorrect. I was harassed by the business owner via 2 phone calls & multiple text messages (see attached) for "white privilege" when I asked for HALF of my money back to be nice... This was the most unprofessional and disturbing thing I have seen in awhile. Clearly this woman is unhinged and shouldn't even be allowed to operate a phone, vehicle or flower shop. read more

Destiny's Precious Gifts - Shop owner harassing me over texts when I asked for a PARTIAL refund - Florists Near Me - Salinas, California

I'll start by saying..I called 4 flower shops in Salinas who didn't express any care in helping me make my order. So I called the next on the google map list until I spoke with Laura at Destiny's Precious Gifts. That's when I got a good vibe and felt that Laura wanted to help me make this delivery special. I explained to her that I live in Encino and wanted to brighten up my grandma's day during these difficult and confusing times. Not only did Laura put together the most beautiful basket I've ever gifted my mama...she genuinely listened to my heart just wanting to touch my grandma through a delivery done with LOVE. She truly sprinkled some pixie dust because my grandma & I can't wait to stop by the shop to personally thank & meet her! Thanks again Laura from the bottom of my heart! I look forward to making Mother's Day order with you! Gob Bless all of you & stay safe!XO Rachel:) read more

If it were possible to leave zero stars I would. I ordered flowers for my mother's birthday a couple days ago, and they were supposed to be delivered yesterday. They never got delivered, and there was no communication from them. I called and left a couple voicemails, then I called back this morning and talked to someone. She informed me that the Internet had been down a couple days and they would make sure to get these flowers delivered today. Once again, flowers were not delivered and there was zero communication. I called six more times and they won't answer, I left one more message, letting them know I would be filing a chargeback. read more

My son who lives out of state used teleflora to order flowers for Mothers Day who used Destiny's. The most pathetic bunch of DEAD, not wilted, in one day roses (there were only 4 total in the bouquet), I have ever seen. The rest of the bouquet was very skimpy, unlike anything they show on their website. Just so sad.He got taken. read more

Poor quality flowers and design. Not worth the value. Did not provide the flower arrangement that was ordered.

I do not recommend this florist. Due to the passing of a dear client to see the delivery driver dump these off at the mailbox without ever checking to see if we got them and they were found by a neighbor dead and with no water. I called and spoke with someone who said she would call back and so far has not made good on that. I will Also report to 1-800 florist and FTD to make sure they know what this florist does. Very disappointed in this florist. But unfortunately looking at all the other negative reviews this isn't new news. read more

Horrible horrible horrible! I ordered a bouquet through Avas and they unfortunately contracted with this florist. I guess they didn't bother to read these Yelp reviews or they hopefully would have gone with someone different. As with the other reviewers, what I ordered and what was delivered were completely different. Destiny's did not contact Avas to let them know they were unable to fulfil the order but decided a cheap supermarket version would suffice. I would have never known of their "bait and switch" but the recipient of the bouquet sent me a picture. This business is very shady. read more

I received a bouquet of flowers that were wilted and broken. They were supposed to arrive on Saturday or Sunday for Mother's Day and I did not receive them until 4 days later. They had my address and phone number to let me know they were delayed. I tried calling a few times and the will not answer also left messages with no return call. I do not recommend this florist TERRIBLY customer service and they're flowers are cheap. This place is a SCAM. read more

Hope this goes out of business for the terrible job they do. I spent 240$ through avasflowers.com and this horrible business picked up the order. It was supposed to make valentines day special and they ruined everything. It was their biggest bouquet with assorted flowers on top of the different roses. They instead delivered 12 red roses that had one broken as seen on the picture. That's their cheapest priced item! Not even 60$. It was missing the big bear. Chocolates, balloons and the colored vase too! Like how stupid can you be to mess up the order that bad!?! I asked the driver where the rest of the stuff was and that this isn't the right bouquet...she answered with "well that's all they gave me". Stay away from this place and if you place an online order...make sure you tell them to not allow them to pick up your order. Don't believe me?...Google them and look them up on Facebook. They've ruined funerals, viewings, weddings etc. Luckily I got a refund but not through this place..they wouldn't even answer their phone and tried to deliver the flowers the day after valentines day lol....like if it's needed then read more

AVOID!! I should've read reviews before ordering with them. I figured I would support a small business during this pandemic instead of a large retail florist. Biggest mistake of my life. I placed an order, they delivered it a day early and to top it off I ordered a "16 premium rose" arrangement. I only received 11. I called to complain, the lady said to call back the next day because it was closed. I asked what time they opened she said 10:00am. So I called again and she never answered. Of course blocked my number, when I called from my office phone she answered right away. I told her I see you don't want to answer my calls and she got all offensive telling me she was in a meeting and would issue a refund. I hope she does otherwise I'll have to go out of my way and go in person. read more

I've received two deliveries from here. Both were terrible - unattractive arrangements and were delivered late. Do not recommend.

Things went bad when my son had ordered an arrangement from an online florist that had submitted it to Destiny's in Salinas. The arrangement was different from what my son had ordered through no fault of Destiny's however they were quick to replace it with a beautiful arrangement far exceeding our expectations. All's well that ends well. read more

We received several arrangements from various flower shops this week, due to a death in our family. The arrangement delivered from this place did not have a card stating who sent them attached to the bouquet, and so I called the number from the delivery person to ask who sent them, the voice mail box was full. I then found a email address, so sent them a request to let me know who to thank, still no response after 3 days. The flowers sent were wilting within a day despite watering them regularly, so in addition to no knowledge of who sent them and who we need to thank, now we are throwing most of it away due to it being dried out. The other 3 arrangements from other florists are doing just fine. I would not recommend this flower shop to anyone reading this review. read more

My son ordered a poinsettia for my wife and me. It was dropped near our front door sometime Sunday night. It came with broken branches, torn leaves, and blossoms full of bug holes. Called Monday. No answer and no response to my message. Called Tuesday and was told that the person on the phone had to talk to her manager. No call back. Tuesday her mailbox was full. Sent a text to find out their plan. Called Wednesday morning and was told a replacement would be here. Received a text Wednesday afternoon telling me I would get a redelivery after 10:00 am Thursday. We are four days trying to deliver a poinsettia at Christmas. This is a sad state of affairs. read more

Unacceptable. I paid $80, which included a bouquet, taxes, and same-day delivery fee, for a birthday bouquet to be sent to my mother-in-law. First of all, I paid for same-day delivery, which was promised to be delivered by 7pm. When 8:30pm rolled around and the flowers were still not delivered, I called to complain. They said they would try to re-deliver again the next day. When it finally was delivered around 10am the next business day, it looked like someone just went and plucked random wilted flowers and stuck them in a vase. The bow tie on it could have been tied better by my 5 year old. The delivery woman was rude, too. This business should be ashamed. Don't give them your money or business. read more

Warning do not purchase from this florist. Florist delivered an incomplete order and broken roses. I did not receive the arrangement I ordered or the extra gifts, balloons, chocolates. Such a disappointment. Customer service was of no help either. Buyers beware! I will never be using their services again nor recommending them. read more

This place is not good. They left flowers after my Aunties funeral was over. When I called them they were rude and not willing to reimburse me. Please don't go to place. I don't want you to have the same experience. read more

I ordered Mother's Day Flowers through Teleflora and they contracted with this flower shop to complete the order. Mother's Day came and went and my mom never got the flowers! I called Teleflora the day after to report that the flowers were never delivered and told them to cancel the order and issue me a refund after they were unable to get ahold of the local florist they contracted with. Two hours later I get a text from my mom that she finally received the flowers and sent me a picture. The bouquet was so skimpy even though I upgraded and paid for the deluxe. Picture below show what I ordered versus what she actually got. Avoid this place if you can! I am so disappointed and upset with their complete disregard for customer service and lack of a quality product. If you can't be handle a busy holiday like Mother's Day then stop taking orders! I will never go through Teleflora again and will just call a local reliable florist direct and it won't be Destiny's Precious Gifts! read more

I made a online order for 3 different bouquet of flowers they made me do three different orders for some reason and couldn't process all 3 on one order that's besides the fact the flowers,card, and balloons was over 500$ again not the problem. I was promised the order would be delivered on Sunday since the order was placed well in advance. Here's the problem the flowers were never delivered I called 3 different times saying I just want a refund I don't want the flowers anymore each phone call lasted for over an hour. The first call they told me they would call back it was to early to process anything. They never called me back I called back saying what's the update I haven't heard anything they said it's been delivered(the flowers were never delivered) so they had to get in contact with the driver and they would call me back. They never called me back for the 3rd time in the same day I call once again they told me call back tomorrow to talk to a manager. Magically the flowers were somehow delivered at 7pm two hours after my 3rd phone call asking for a full refund. I call back in the morning and they say yeah sorry the flowers were delivered there is nothing we can do for you and our manager is out of the office for a month due to vacation. I do see here in the notes you said you do not want the flowers anymore. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Looks like Teleflora strikes again. Ordered a sweet "deluxe" yellow rose arrangement in a smiley face cup with two balloons for 8 yo surgery. To be delivered day of May 25. Child came home, nothing. Kept checking with parents. Nothing, but I did get an email from Teleflora confirming delivery. Nothing had been delivered. Teleflora would not divulge which florist the order was sent to. So I went local and ordered from Swenson and Silacci - same arrangement was successfully delivered on 26th by S&S. Today 8 yo told us another delivery of flowers arrived yesterday, 27th. Roses in a vase (not cup) and no balloons. I don't know if Destiny's was the original contracted florist, but I haven't received any note or email to apologize from Teleflora or florist. In the meantime I have notified my bank to hold payment. read more

I can't and will not recommend this floral place. I placed an order through Teleflora for my daughter's back to school, which is something I have been doing for her, for 12 years, since her first day of teaching. Very disappointed. I specifically specified that they be delivered in the AM. I received confirmation that the flowers were delivered,they were not, until 3 days later,after I complained to the Teleflora Company and not even the flowers that I had ordered, they looked like they just stuck some flowers in a glass vase from dollar store. And to top it off, when they were delivered, the delivery person was very rude. NEVER AGAIN Mama Selina read more

I ordered flowers with a plant for my sister through Flowers.com on January 24. When I came out to see her, 1.5 weeks later, she still had not received the plant and I received no notice that there was a problem delivering her flowers. After numerous phone calls/minutes on hold to Flowers.com and much frustration, I discovered that the order was cancelled. Again, no notification! FINALLY! all was resolved, the plant was delivered while I was there and I was a satisfied customer. Beautiful flowers but who knows how the mix-up happened. read more

If I could give a negative rating I would. On what was an already devastating time for my family it was only compounded by the horrible service and product provided by this HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A FLORIST!!! What was to be the final gift for my mother I ordered the arrangement on the left and was provided the poor excuse for an arrangement on the right. We were only able to reach the florist once and they promised they would have a better arrangement sent before my mother's funeral. Needless to say that didn't happen. What I spent was $250+ and the florist could have cared less. They have since blocked my phone number and have yet to return any of my calls. Anyone who needs a florist in the Salinas valley stay far away from this ridiculous excuse of a business. You will be disappointed. read more

I sent flowers from these guys to my friends in King City. I paid 60.00 for a certain arrangement. They sent a 35.00 arrangement. Nothing like I had picked out, I mean NOTHING! They sent it a week late because "King City is so far, we thought we'd wait to see if there were any other orders." FTD is sending an apology bouquet and charging this florist. I can't even give them 1 star. read more

I can't recommend this place. I ordered flowers for a friend's birthday and requested that they be delivered to her work. I received a delivery confirmation the day BEFORE my friend's special day. I was very confused and went back to double check that I hadn't requested the wrong delivery date. Nope. So I called and was told something that made absolutely NO SENSE but they confirmed that the flowers had not been delivered and they would go out the next day as requested. Ok fine. My friend's birthday comes and I wait all day to receive word that the flowers had been delivered. I got nervous towards the end of the day as my friend would be leaving to head home, so I called to inquire about the delivery status. The lady I spoke with was not accommodating whatsoever and kept making excuses about the drivers not having cell service and the other orders they were working to fulfill. She could not seem to confirm the flowers would be delivered on time. She then asked me for an alternate address they could deliver to. I had to go back to my friend on her birthday to get another address from her. Asking someone that question on their birthday really ruins the surprise. Just save yourself the headache and don't order flowers from this place. read more

This how their flowers actually look droopy! It unacceptable my husband paid for same day delivery and they arrived the Next day after 5pm. It's unfortunate because they didn't even ring the door bell, they were just sitting on our front porch and I happen to see them because I was going out to check the mail. Imagine if I didn't I would've seen them the next day. They didn't give us our full refund just half because we have their poor quality flowers. read more
