Ferns N Petals Complaints & Reviews

I placed a order of cake and a teddy bear for a midnight delivery in pune, the person who went for delivery dint delivered it because the guard dint allowed him and he dint call on any of the number and when i asked for refund to the company they are saying no refund of perishable goods and they are even lying that the number is wrong but the number is exactly right, they are defending themselves and as i am a student so they are cheating on me. and they said for re-delivery but when i paid for the products for a night delivery and even paid extra 250 ruppes for it then why should it be delivered after the time they gave me. The delivery was of 5th mid night and my order number is OR[protected]. The webiste is showing that it is delivered. Please look to it, the amount which i have paid is a huge amount for me. Thank You.

Had ordered flowers, but they sent the wrong order . Now they are telling me that they have a right to change the order by the self if they don't have particular order. How can they do that?? If they don't have particular flowers they have to put " product unavailable" on the product. They have no right to make any changes. Now I contacted them through email, they don't even read the email and have a common format they just copy paste...

I ordered my entire corporate gifting with Ferns and Petals on 16th Oct 2014 for my clients for Diwali, based on assurances from the customer care(I spoke to Trisha) to a value of Rs. 18, 353. The delivery date was promised to be 20th October 2014, and was confirmed that it will be delivered before Diwali. I tried contacting customer care on 21st and 22nd, and the call was on hold throughout. I tried contacting booking an order (no.1) instead of Order Status (no.3), and my call went through immediately. Pooja was the girl who answered, and when I asked for my order status, immediately transferred me to the queue, which was on hold. I called again, and she put me on hold again. I sent an email to [protected]@fnp.com, and received an email saying that the products I had selected were courier products, and they were unable to give any date of delivery. Did they not know that my products were to be couriered before taking payment? Payment was made on the assurance that Diwali gifts are delivered before Diwali. My gifts were chocolate boxes, and it makes no sense for them to go after Diwali. What if it gets spoilt? My clients were off for Diwali from 22nd – 26th. Out of 8 orders, only 1 was delivered before Diwali. Four orders were delivered on 25th Oct 2014. I was not able to even find the order status from customer care. With immense difficulty, I got the waybill numbers for my orders(not through customer care but by calling people in Ferns and Petals) and have been tracking through Bluedart. My orders were taken as Diwali gifts with assurances of delivering on the 20th Oct 2014, and till date, three orders have not even been delivered.

Pathetic Customer service... I had placed an order[protected], on the 11th of october 2014 for delivery on the 21st October 2014. The agent who called me convinced me that the product would be delivered on the 21st, since I was placing the order way in advance. This was supposed to be a diwali gift, FYI diwali was on the 23rd of October. Till date the order hasn't been delivered. And I had to bear the brunt of 3 highly unprofessional customer care agents for the lack of delivery. I simply asked for a cancellation of the order and a refund because there is no point delivering the product anymore. I was told to ask the recipient to refuse the delivery. Can you be serious????? Can i actually ask someone who i was supposed to send a gift to, to now say no I dont want the gift. Why would I make a fool of myself for your mistake and you incapability of delivering the product on time... I spoke to 3 different agents, Ashish, Charushree Dutt and their supervisor Surinder Kaur.. Who were all extremely ineffecient, lacked customer service skills, put on hold endlessly. YOU GUYS NEED TO WORK ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS BIG TIME. I was denied speaking to a supervisor by Charushree Dutta who told me that she is not authorized to transfer the call to the supervisor, in other words are you telling me that the customer doesn't have the right to speak to the supervisor. I however made sure that I spoke to a supervisor, but not before I was put on hold for more than 10 minutes. You shouldn't mess with someone who knows her customer rights, actually you shouldn't mess with any customers. I was finally given a refund reference number which is 11203148, but when I check the email for the refund, it says the refund has been refunded for Rs 511.00, whereas the order was for Rs. 2700. At this point I am highly dissatisfied, and cannot go through your customer service agents anymore. I NEED MY COMPLETE REFUND FOR RS. 2700

I send them authentication email in which we have to provide the credit card details and our id and they are saying we didn't got and when got they say it's not clear. Seriously more than 1380p documents is not clear. and i am sending again and again they say not received or its not clear. and hold my products and not giving even gift voucher. Don't order from them. My order id is : OR[protected]

Hi Friends, Never ever use this Ferns n Petals website ( http://www.fnp.com/ ) for ordering anything for your near and dear ones...this website makes fool of its customers, take their money and send cheap products. And finally they say they cannot refund the money!!! This company will for sure SPOIL YOUR MOMENT...Be Careful. NEVER USE FERNS N PETALS Regards, Anupama

I had ordered a cake with order no - ASONB93712 After I did the payment, they said the ordered time of 9.30 am would not be possible as it is TIRUPTI order and it would get delivered withint 4.30 pm. It was an eggless choclate cake for a birthday. They had delivered some yellow cake initially. I immediately called up the customer care and a rude executive spoke saying... I HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE REPLACEMENT IS DONE AND NOT USE THE CAKE THAT THEY DELIVERED FIRST. When i asked when would u do it... they said u have to wait... i said it is someone's birthday and u r already late... he said we cant do anything. When I asked his name, he also replied saying... My name is say NARENDRA MODI. what matters to u? I said i will go to the consumer forum and he said.. dont threaten us like this... our legal department will see to it. later the delivery guy had gone to the nearest bakery and got a cheap choclate cake n replaced it with the customer and left. He didn't even have the basic sense to remove the bakery cover. I need full refund and more compensation against this ugly company. http://rosenpetals.com/Egg-Less/Egg-Less-Chocolate-Cake--id-343650.html this is the cake i ordered and i have also sent the photos of what they delivered. thank u Anand Kumar R [protected]@gmail.com

I would like to be share my horrible experience with FNP, Placed an order on 9th Sep and must be delivered by 13th as per order status. But today is 19th and not yet deliver. Now they are start making the new stories on day10, Pictures are not good enough, send me high-Resolution pictures. This is very much disappointed and seriously this is my first and last deal with you and never suggest to anyone to deal with you in future.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN! I would like to draw the kind attention to the concerned authority regarding the lack of response message regarding my order status from F N P. I ordered for one of my Leather Accessories for one of my Friend's Birthday gift in Jaipur, dated 21st July and since then I kept on calling to FNP customer care but it never took on a right path that whether my delivery has arrived or not. And, when again i called up (dated 13th Aug, 2014) to the Customer Care no. I got to know that my order returned back, which they didn't even inform me about the same via any call, sms or mails. I paid for it and I have all my rights to know about my order. Thus, am looking at an immediate response from your end. P.S - Kindly note that am attaching the mails which I exchanged with them as a proof.

Hi, I would like to highlight the case of non delivery of item from Ferns n Petals . We had booked Rakhi on 07-Aug -14 (OR[protected] and it was supposed to be delivered on 09-Aug 2014 but neither the rakhi is delivered nor we got any refund . I have raised many complaints to FnP and got the response that customer representative will contact me but no has contacted me till now. I have very sad and disappointed . Please help . Thanks, Nitin Mishra

I, Anandi Ghosh, want to lodge a complaint against Ferns n Petals for non-delivery of products on time and non delivery of flowers as displayed on their page. I have placed an order No. OR[protected] dated 11.08.2014 as per the delivery schedule on their page. When their customer care representative called me and offered me a discount on the products, she said that sometimes the products are not delivered on the mentioned date but maybe a day earlier or later. I agreed and placed the order for 11 products, with the request that these be delivered 'one day at a time' as they were pre-birthday surprise. However, the very first product in the card which was to be delivered on 12.08.2014, has not been delivered yet and five of the products are showing as out for delivery since the 13th. It is 16th today and the products still have not been delivered. I have been calling up FnP repeatedly and every time the answer is the same that the products would be delivered the next day. I also called up the customer care on the 12th asking why the products have not been delivered and was told that no promises were made to deliver the product on the same day as they were delivered by a courier company. In addition, they refused to cancel my order. I wish to lodge a complaint against Ferns n Petals for cheating me.

Placed a order for rakhi of a bouquet of roses, delivery man calls at 10:30 PM (note the time) on Aug 10th to check if he can come over. My mother was asleep and she refused to accept the flowers. Now for the last 4 days have been calling and following up with the customer service, where they promise to send the flowers and then nothing happens. They even had the audacity to suggest that the old flowers from Sunday will be sent. This company is a complete fraud and should be shut down if they cannot handle simple deliveries instead of cheating people.

Request immediate attention to this complaint.

Hello,

I am a customer of M/s Ferns & Petals (FnP) for over 3 years now and have placed orders over Rs. 21, 000 till date. But the services that I’ve been receiving for the past 3 years are below par and this time, FnP has surpassed all levels to reach a new high of appalling services and ineptness.

I placed my order OR-9809392 on August 3 (before 2:30 am IST) and it was to be delivered on August 6, 2014. The order has still not been delivered even after 7 days of scheduled delivery and 10 days of placing the order. Mr. Mittul from customer service responded to my complaint 3 days after I raised my sent an email (TKT[protected] had the audacity to command me to choose an option within 1-2 hours to cancel or keep my order. And yes, if I choose to cancel my order, I will have to use the ‘FnP gift certificate’ for future purchase that I don’t intend to make ever. Is this some kind of fraudulent tactic or just a new low in the pathetic level of services provided by FnP for its own convenience? If this is the way you care for your customers, then I wonder how this fraud of a company is still able to conduct business.

I planned well in advance to deliver Rakhis for my In-laws and they still don’t have the Rakhis that I sent. Does FnP realize what embarrassment I had to face when my well planned ahead of time order was not delivered at all? Do you realize how much time and energy I have wasted to try and track my order? FnP talks very highly about their customer’s sentiments all the time but does really care about its customers?
Doesn’t FnP have even a minuscule level of accountability for non delivery of prepaid overpriced services that they promise their customer? Does FnP even realize how much mental agony and harassment I have faced in the past 1 week?

Your customer service representatives blatantly lie about the order status, laugh at the customer when they are desperate to know their order status and refuse to give a ticket number. The customer service ‘supervisor’ Ms. Aarti shamelessly suggested that I should send flowers instead of Rakhi which might reach on time.

Even the Flowers delivery service is pathetic. All the flower deliveries that I ordered in the year 2014 have been of an abysmal quality. We all just chose to ignore those incidents but I do have a valid question. When even a roadside flower vendor can keep his flowers fresh in Delhi heat, why can’t FnP flowers be delivered fresh? Why are FnP flowers all browned up and falling apart?

I ordered flowers (order no - OR8887585) for my Dad to pay my respects on Father’s Day. The flowers delivered were stale, dopey and of substandard quality. When my Dad held the poorly made basket, he got a deep gash on his hand. When he complained to the delivery boy about the pathetic quality of flowers, he received unpleasant attitude and lame excuses. After this, my Father refused to accept the flowers. When he contacted Mr. Sachidanand Gupta, the FnP franchisee owner to complain about the quality of flowers, he got a rude shock. Mr Gupta not only made lame excuses to support the substandard quality of flowers, but was arrogant and unethical in his boisterous talks and also insulted my Dad about his ‘Indian Maansikta’.
My Dad is the most ethical person i have ever known and when I tried to respect him for his virtues and morals and help him recover from his major surgeries, FnP goes ahead and insults and humiliates him to the core. Is being ethical a crime if you are availing services from FnP? Is this FnP’s key philosophy to rip-off its customers and act as if nothing has happened?

This was supposedly an international delivery and I purchased overpriced services by FnP from USA and made payments in USD. Then shouldn’t I drag you to Consumer Protection Forum (NCDRC) and publicize about this in Indian and US media? I don’t care about the outcome of this situation, but at least FnP won’t be able to defraud and insult its customers in future.

Given the past record, I have really no hopes of any rational action from FnP but I think all FnP customers who choose to ignore the harassment and substandard service would really appreciate it if FnP stops playing with the sentiments of its customers and take some solid steps to rectify their tarnishing image.

Regards,
Vasudha

With extreme displeasure I am mailing you to tell you the sorry state of affairs of your company. I placed my order on the occasion of rakhi on the 5th august, 2014 and the delivery date was supposed to be 10th august, 2014.OR-9878634 First of all you send the courier via fraud, good for nothing courier service Trust on 1 day which does everything barring delivering the product on one day.The tracking number you have provided is invalid. I WANT A RESOLUTION OF THE COMPLAINS.

With extreme displeasure I am mailing you to tell you the sorry state of affairs of your company. I placed my order on the occasion of rakhi on the 5th august and the delivery date was supposed to be 10th June 2014.Till date receipient have not received the order .They place their order thorugh trust one 1day which is a bogus courier service. I want my money back and an answer to this debacle by tomorrow otherwise I am going to raise a complaint in consumer forum Looking forward to a speedy resolution to this problem.

My order number is: OR-9809260. I ordered for a Rakhi through their website on 3.8.2014. I specified for the delivery date as 8.8.2014 to be on the safer side as Rakhi was on 10.8.2014. While placing order the website mentioned guaranteed delivery on specified date and made promises of making Rakhi special. But now even Raksha Bandhan'14 has passed and yet it was not delivered. When I called up their customer service on 9th August and 10th August and even on 11th August the reply was same...the order is out for delivery. This company is a fraud and I just read similar complaints from various customers. I don't really seek a refund but I demand a penalty for such a fraud company as they are ripping people of their money and ruining their speacial days.

Hi, I ordered a Rakhi thali from Ferns N Petals on 30th july which was promised to be delivered on or before 9th August, believing which I placed this order but now its 2 days past the maximum delivery date and it is not yet received. I contacted customer care many times which is visible in the attached screen shots however i didn't get any response from them even I drooped a mail and didn't get any reply. This is something which is not expected as I ordered a Rakhi thali that should have been delivered on the committed date, else I could have opted for some other means of sending my Rakhi. Also I would like to mention that the customer service is so very poor that I had to make phone calls of more than 150 rs to complain about this order which costed around 500rs, and still the response was not at all any helpful. I request you to take a very strict action against this, as because of this my only brother has not having my rakhi on his wrist on the Rakhi day, even when I had ordered the rakhi thali 10 days before the Rakhsbandhan. I need the amount to be refunded along with the Inconvenience charge in my account as soon as possible.

I ordered rakhi gift for my brother for the occasion of rakhi on 15th of july.order delivery date was 7th of August(order number 9412683). Still it has not been delivered. They people promised me to deliver it by 9th of august. But did not turn up. Whole day I was trying their customer service number. Its a case of mental harrassment. I want justification from ferns and petals for their pathetic service.

To introduce myself, I am an international client and (from UAE) and want to express the level of discomfited, foiled and disappointed service provided by ferns n petals. I would never use this service and will try to recommend everybody in my circle not to use that as well.(OR[protected] To start with, I have placed an order on 18th July and want a delivery on 6th August'14 which is like after good 15 working days because my brother has to travel back .I called customer support 6 times asked them the status of my rakhi and they didn't have any answer and put me on hold on AN INTERNATIONAL CALL for 10 minutes and disconnected - Spandana, Rajiv, Nikunj some names, when i asked for a supervisor nobody did let me talk to one . One funny or absurd or stupid guy even said call back on this number and talk to other available representative (that's the level of people you have or your dont have any quality mechanism). Other guy said mam this is courier delivery and we cant commit the time lines but if you want we can only send the rakhi(somebody please let him know if he can deliver rakhi tomorrow, why cant he deliver my gift). I am just an extremely unsatisfied customer and will try to make sure all that wherever possible communicate this to other customers or else can take a step to go to court for providing such a disrespectful service

Be aware about the service of cheater website Ferns N Petals. Worst experience with fernsNpetals. Please never book any order from them. They did not do the delivery and make an excused that delivery person visited to the building and somebody denied to take the delivery. They do not have any proof for that. If I am asking for any proof they are saying you have placed the wrong order or bla bla. We asked the delivery person to cancel...
