They suck
December 20, 2021

Years ago I dealt with 1-800-FLOWERS. Same company! I wish I had known before I placed an order. They asked me to look at a calendar and pick a date. Some days were blocked out so I picked a date a week in advance. They said delivery was on its way. Gave me a tracking number. It showed progress. Nothing was delivered. After 4 days I called this place and they said that my order was cancelled through them. They already billed me. I asked when we're you going to tell me? They suck. Never order flowers on line. You think your loved one got a wonderful bouquet. Your love one will call you and thank you. But if we're see what was sent them it is nothing like they describe to you. Let's go back to the malls!

Just no
December 17, 2021

A friend of mine in Hawaii took the time and money to place an order and have it shipped to our home as a holiday gift. External Packaging was good, icepack still cold. But the contents? Doesn't even come close to the advert pic. Somebody seriously needs to refund her, her money.

If I could give 0 stars I would.
December 5, 2021

The website is difficult to navigate and I'm a tech savvy user. After figuring out that I actually had placed the order I checked and it had a delivery date other than I requested and on the day of expected delivery once I finally got it fixed using the online chat which took forever I got a call saying it couldn't be delivered and the earliest delivery available was 3 days later. This order was placed for an anniversary and the delivery date is important. I will never order from them again!

My mom ordered these for me for my birthday. The first package came with only the flowers, no berries inside. When the replacement box got here 3 days after they said it would, the berries were broken and moldy, and the flowers were wilted. She spent over $100 for the product and fast shipping. Don't waste your money buying from here.

Apparently since being acquired by 800-Flowers in 2019, Shari's Berries is no longer anything close to the original. The 800-Flowers model uses local florists who clearly do not have the resources or skills to deliver the gorgeous berries and exceptional customer service we all came to love & expect from Shari's. I had no idea I was ordering from 800-Flowers (ugh) until it was too late. Super disappointed that my mom-in-law received these for her 91st birthday. Berries were small, stemless, & smashed. The white chocolate letters spelling "Happy Bday" were also smashed. Seriously it looks like they ran up to Walmart, bought a pint of everyday strawberries, and then had their five-year-old put them together for me. Their initial solution was to send her ANOTHER one (without my permission) and email me a $20 "Savings Pass" for my next order (as if I would ever order from them again). I had to call and stop them as this would only have served to upset & confuse my MIL. I told them to stop the 2nd delivery, declined the "Savings Pass", and said I wanted a 50% refund which I felt was more than generous on my part. She agreed to stop the replacement order and said I would receive a full, 100% refund of $72. I have called them back twice to confirm but am still waiting for the written confirmation email I was promised. Every time you call you start all over again. They act like they can't see any of your earlier calls, which doesn't sound like any ticket system I've ever worked with.

I am so embarrassed by the shoddy gift my MIL received and sad to learn that the real Shari's is gone.

Wish I had looked up the company before I ordered
November 5, 2021

Despite having to wait all day on her birthday for the edible arrangement($112), it finally arrived almost at 7pm! Ok, but the fruit basket was warm, the oranges were almost dehydrated the orange rind was literally curled! The melon slices were also dehydrated! How does that even happen? It would have been cheaper, faster and fresher if we had just gone 2 miles over to the real Edible Arrangements store! Never again!

Bad delivery
November 5, 2021

Delivery was "attempted" except I've been at the delivery location all day and not once was Amy delivery attempted. This was supposed to deliver for a birthday, and now it won't be there for her. Called customer service and they said they couldn't get in touch with the store and they would have it resent in the morning... after it sits at the shipping facility in florida all night and melts.? I do not recommend sharis berries ever...

Pictures look great. Product does not. Kinda disappointed in the photo vs actual. For the price, I'd hope they were better.

Melted and doesn't look like inspo pic.
October 27, 2021

Ordered these cute Halloween strawberries for $72 and they came MELTED & look nothing like the website picture. For $72 for some strawberries I was expecting HIGH quality strawberries. I have included the website picture with what I actually received. They offered me a 50% discount or a reorder but I took the 50% discount that is supposed to be in my bank in 7 days.

Order was delivered late
October 25, 2021

I ordered 3 days in advance with a confirmation of an on time delivery. The item arrived one day late. Very disappointed. Unfortunately, I had not read the reviews prior to ordering. One day late, no refund on shipping charges, and the link to submit your concerting does not work on the website.

My wife received some chocolate strawberries sent by one of her friends as a gift to celebrate the arrival of our baby daughter. Twice this company sent strawberries that arrived looking like they'd been put in a box and tied to a donkey's backside and dragged around the World three times. Absolutely appalling! The overnight delivery turned out to be 4 days and the ice pack wasn't remotely cold. Take some free advice - do not order anything from this company! How they remain in business is a anyone"s guess (?). If I could give them zero stars I would - SHOCKING! A massive thumbs down! They'll be getting a negative BBB review, too.

Never again
October 19, 2021

I have ordered many times in the past and neverbhad an issue. So I placed an order for the happy face berries for my boss on bosses day. I had it delivered to my house the day before (a Thursday) to make sure I got it on time and everything was ok with the order. THANK GOD I DID. The berries were super small and horribly decorated (see pics). I called to complain and ask for a replacement. Come to find out they use "local shops" to make many of their orders. I was super annoyed and said I want my order to come from them directly since I never had an issue in the past, and I dont want some "local shop" to make my order. I was told they could not do a replacement order for the next day (Friday) but offered me Monday (next business day). I accepted and then after checking my confirmation email see that they again chose a "local shop" to make my order. I called a second time and was told that design i chose could not be done by them, but I can choose a different design and they will ship direct from them, not from a local area. I agreed... but now my order would be coming on Tuesday. So Tuesday comes... no berries. I called now a 3rd time and was told they will have it to me "as soon as possible ". Dont waste your time or money

Beware
October 10, 2021

Worst company, should be out of business. I sent berries for a bday and it was NOTHING like the picture they advertised. If you want to contact them, there is no email available, and the chat starts with a robot and connects you with a person, but no one comes on. The quality is really bad.

On-time delivery and satisfied recipient
October 4, 2021

I submitted an edible bouquet order for a delivery date within two days. I was worried after reading so many terrible reviews on this site and considered cancelling my order out of panic, but decided to see if the delivery would be on time. Thankfully, the order was delivered to my friend without any issues.

I received an email confirming the order, another one stating that the order was being prepared by a local shop, and a third email once the delivery was successful. My friend said the edible bouquet looked really nice, the fruit and chocolate tasted great, and she was very happy with her surprise gift.

My 51st birthday was Sep 23rd. My two daughters ordered me 2 flower bouquets and a dozen of strawberries. When they arrived, the Strawberries had a strong over ripe smell. The cold packs were on the side of the box and the Strawberries were warm. Although I rushed the Strawberries into the fridge, 3 out of the 6 I attempted to eat had mold/ mushy.

I ordered for my anniversary 5 days prior expecting my gift to show up. Well no I did not. I called 3 times and all I got was we'll make it right, or no call back at all. I asked how are they gonna make something right when they needed to be delivered on this day and there not here? Then I get we'll contact the delivery service you'll get an email shortly. Guess what never got anything at all. I would never refer this company to anyone period ever. This was a special day and it ruined the whole plan. I had to put one star to post but honestly they deserve - 10 stars at this point
