Do NOT trust this company with time-sensitive or perishable gifts!
I ordered a birthday cake and flowers to be delivered for a specific date. Because this company doesn't ship on Sundays, we explicitly agreed on a next-day delivery window. Not only did they completely miss the date—meaning the recipient's birthday had already passed by 3 days—but I found out they shipped a highly perishable cake and fresh flowers using a standard, non-guaranteed 1–7 day ground service! When I contacted the courier service myself, the courier explicitly told me that the store used an inappropriate, slow ground shipping method for perishable items and that I needed to demand a refund from the seller. Instead of taking responsibility for ruining a birthday and destroying their own product, customer service sent me a generic screenshot of their policy and refused a refund, claiming it was a "courier delay." They literally forced a cake to sit in a hot transit truck for days, turning a birthday gift into a hazardous, rotten health safety risk. To make it worse, the moment I told them I would be forced to dispute the charge, they completely blocked communication and refused to speak with me. This company is highly unprofessional, has zero common sense regarding food safety, and completely lacks basic customer service. I have already refused the delivery of their spoiled goods, filed a formal dispute to get my money back, and reported them to consumer protection. Save your money and go anywhere else.
