1-800-Flowers is definitely one of the top flower services our team came across. Want to send someone flowers? You'll find it's much easier (and oftentimes much more affordable) to do it online than through your local florist. The only problem is figuring out which online flower delivery websites offer the best blooms and the best service. After all, you don't want to send someone half-dead flowers with the stems breaking apart. That's why the Star Reviews team decided to dig in and compare online flower delivery services. Of course we had to include 1-800-Flowers, one of the biggest names in online flower shopping, in our online flower delivery reviews. Here's what we found out.
What's New with 1-800-Flowers?
- New Martha Stewart Arrangements
- Same Day Delivery Available
- Red-Hot Best Sellers for $50 or Less Including Delivery
Star Reviews Favorite 1-800-Flowers Feature:
We really like that 1-800-Flowers has a variety of "Hot Seller" arrangements available for $50 or less, and that includes delivery. It makes sending last-minute "I think your special" gifts convenient and affordable.
The 1-800-Flowers Experience:
The 1-800-Flowers website looks like the typical online flower delivery store. Search by occasion, type of flowers, specials, price and other user-friendly search options. And we must admit, the selection of flowers and plants to choose from is overwhelming. So many beautiful arrangements to choose from!
We had lots of fun browsing the Martha Stewart boutique. The arrangements and vases, all inspired by Martha, were beautiful and reasonably priced. There were even flower care tips for us to reference, with advice on how to make our flowers look beautiful and last longer.
Unlike many of the other online flower stores we visited, 1-800-Flowers only had a few bouquets that had "upgrade" options and we were only able to find one that didn't explain whether the image shown was of the basic model or of the upgraded version. For the most part it seems that this website takes a "what you see is what you get" approach.
Make sure you check out the Fresh Rewards savings club before placing your order. When you join the club you get one point for every dollar spent. For every 200 points you collect you get $20 in savings. And you also might want to check out 1-800-Flowers' credit program. If you send flowers frequently you'll be able to keep those purchases separate from your other credit card purchases and it'll save you the hassle of entering your credit card information at checkout.

1-800-Flowers Customer Service:
1-800-Flowers offers customer service via phone and email. We received a response to our email inquiry within two hours of sending it. That, my friends, was impressive. Phone support was also above par with barely any hold time at all and knowledgeable and friendly representatives waiting to answer our questions (which they did beautifully).
Upside:- Beautiful arrangements
- Credit accounts available

Downside:- Prices a bit higher than most of the competition.
