May Flowers

I live in Riverside I ordered flowers on line for my aunt that had surgery in May I wondered why I never got a phone call or a thank from my aunt but I got an email from May flowers that said confirm flower order and delivery date, I talked to my aunt 2 weeks later I talked to my aunt she NEVER received any flowers. My credit card disputed the charge and investigated and returned my money onto my credit. They will No longer earn my business …

Terrible customer service first off… I was looking around for at least 15 minutes… with about 5 employees right in front of me… not one even looked at me or said hello, let alone asked if I needed help. I had to stand in front of the counter for someone to finally come up and ask if I needed anything. Even then she stood there and stared at me with no facial expression whatsoever. I asked if she can come around the counter so I can show her what I wanted. She finally snapped out of whatever funk she was in and came around. I showed her the centerpiece I wanted and asked her to add 4 white roses to it as well as a mylar balloon. Well the flowers arrived yesterday, and I’m not really surprised. The centerpiece arrived with 3 red roses instead. Yeah, 70 bucks for terrible customer service and flowers they didn’t get right. I won’t be going back there again. Oh and the mylar balloon wasn’t even blown up fully, a few hours and it’s already deflating. How this place stays in business I’ll never know.

I ran into to buy an inexpensive bunch of carnations or the mixed bouquets you see at the market sometimes. I was looking to spend $ 15 plus tax. The lady behind the counter said they didn’t have bouquets like that. They had carnations for $ 3.50 each! My shocked look made her blurt out… $ 2 each with a rude look on her face. That was enough to drive me out the door. I would rather drive a mile over to the local home depot than to pay this rude shop any money. Half of the carnations were wilted btw.

This review was meant for Scotty’s Flowers in Whittier. May’s Flowers had excellent service!

a lot of happy customers… as well as a lot of unhappy ones. (hence the 3-​star rating.)

Ordered flowers for my bosses birthday (from the staff) and it did not show up. When I called to find it where it was I was told that the driver did not show up for work and they would get it out as soon as possible… it did not come that day, nor the next. When I called I was assured that it would be delivered that day. It’s a good thing I did not hold my breathe it did not come again. They promised that it would be delivered and they would add extra flowers to it. It did arrive the third day later than promised, but I was not impressed with the final product. I will not be ordering from them again and I advise everyone to look at other florists for your flower needs, these people are unreliable and (in my opinion) less than talented.

Came here to pick up some flowers to bring to my Mom in the hospital, looked specifically for places open at 9:00 am. Waited outside for 15 minutes and called both numbers on the door with no answer. That really is not a way to treat customers or run a business.
I decided to stay and check out their arrangements because I was pressed for time and they ended up making a nice arrangement for us, but the lateness/​lack of consideration for customers left me feeling like I’ll probably be buying my next arrangement someplace else.

I come here for flowers whenever a occasion that requires them comes around. The staff is friendly and the prices are comparable to other flower shops. The location is some what hidden but as far as flower shops go this is a pretty good one.

Always helpful and friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the flowers are usually pretty fresh (which is impressive considering that it’s a smaller mom and pop shop). After getting price gouged at other places, I’m glad I found a nice flower shop in the area.

Wondering if I went in too late yesterday to order a large arrangement of flowers for a funeral today at 10 am??? I ordered yesterday at 3pm and was assured that the arrangement would be delivered to a local mortuary by 10 am today. Not only did the $ 90 arrangement not make it to the mortuary, but was told by the gal who «helped» me that the driver delivered by 9 am and even came back by 10 for another delivery. Like I give a rip about someone else’s delivery, and she didn’t even say sorry! But rather was told to «talk to the mortuary»…really? So I told her that the next time someone dies I’m ordering my flowers somewhere else! Which is a shame because the arrangement was BEAUTIFUL!

So on Valentine’s day, I got screwed by 1800flowers since they didn’t deliver my flowers that I had ordered weeks ago.
So… I had to come up with a Plan B! (Being the romanticist that I am — cough cough, simply cannot go empty handed on Valentine’s Day!) Since I pass by this place all the time, this is the day to pay them a visit.
The time was 5pm. As expected, the parking lot for the corner plaza was a complete chaos — double parking, a giant big trailer of flowers taking up like 6 spots… But they hired a security guy to direct traffic, to get people parked to get in and get out.
I already knew what I wanted to get before I walked in — a single red rose bouquet. I walked into the shop, red and white mylar balloons everywhere, and not surprised the shelves and refrigerators were getting empty. (Good for them!) And there by the front counter in the corner was the bucket with single rose bouquets for $ 7 each. I was expecting to pay $ 5, but eh… Bouquet looked good, customer service was good.
Good experience overall. Met my expectations for any florists on this crazy day. May Flowers saved the day.
PS — 1800flowers didn’t deliver the original bouquet until 3 days later! Got my money back though after being on hold for over an hour.

$ 50 for not even a dozen roses maybe six and some cheap carnations. Feels like they are ripping us off.

This place sucks.
Bouquet never arrived, and I never got a phone call.
Way to ruin Valentines day
YOU HAD ONE JOB !!!

!!! WARNING!!! Do not order nothing from here. I went two days ago to order my wife flowers for her birthday which were sunflowers cause those are her favorites. Not only was the delivery 2 ½ hrs. Late but she got white roses. This was very upsetting to me and to my wife.

Horrible!!! I put in a birthday floral arrangement on the 19^th with Teleflora and they told me this florist would be responsible for making it happen. It’s unbelievably shocking how poor the product quality and customer service are.
I chose the Deluxe «Jumping for Joy» floral arrangement with a mylar balloon & large stuffed animal. I understand there is limited supplies on flowers but thinking I put the order in a week in advanced the arrangement would be close to what I selected and fresh right? Keep in mind this was a birthday arrangement. So the recipient called me to let me know she received the flowers but there was no balloon or larger stuffed animal. It continues to go downhill. The card did not read the message I included, the delivery person made her feel uncomfortable, and the flowers were wilted. This was a horrid experience and will made sure I never do business with this florist again.

We recently required the services of a florist for a funeral – for casket, two stand-​up arrangements, & some misc carnations for burial. The mortuary we dealt with recommended this florist. «Richard» was very patient & helpful – times like this decisions are difficult. He allowed us time to think over the possibilities – writing down our order a day (no pressure) before we actually paid. On the final order, he added boutonnieres for the pallbearers for FREE. The flowers arrived on time, except for the bunch of carnations we ordered to take to the cemetery; fortunately, this was discovered early enough, that I was able to call them, & the distance between the mortuary & the florist was within 15 minutes time. ALL THE FLOWERS & ARRANGEMENTS WERE BEAUTIFUL & FRESH! I was pleasantly surprised; I’ve had dealings with another florist for the same circumstances & was disappointed on what was delivered. I would recommend to others to check this place out first when requiring the services of a florist.

Excellent customer service; very friendly and helpful on the phone. They made a beautiful arrangement, filled with excellent quality blooms which were artfully arranged, on short notice, with same day delivery. Grandma loved them! I look forward to doing business with this shop in the future.

Excellent flower shop that always has a good variety of healthy, bright, colorful flowers. I started buying flowers here in 2010, and this quickly became my go to place. Since day one of my relationship with May Flowers, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Thank You for always taking care of me! My Beautiful Wife also appreciates you guys!
Will I Come Back? Yes.
