BONUS!!!  Now I would have chocolate for the birthday and flowers for Monther's day.  She stated that my fresh delivery would arrive on Tuesday.  Tuesday evening, I arrived home excited to see what the new arrangement would look like.  But there was no package on my doorstep.  I called customer service again, hoping that the...

The site is dedicated to console gaming, in particular, the Xbox 360. It offers something that no other site does, the ability to let your 360 write a daily blog. The blog includes what games you played the prior day, any accomplishments you may have earned as well as how you stack up against other gamers on the site. The writing covers the whole spectrum, from funny to down right sad, and at times, eerily accurate on how you felt the day before. —   The blog is not the only thing that makes the site a real gem. Gamers have the opportunity to earn badges for all kinds of different activities. There are badges for numbers of games completed, consecutive days played, participation in community events and many others. The site creators are always updating the badges to make them even better as well as adding new ones on a regular basis. —   Another unique feature of 360 Voice is the...

In placing my online order, the site went down before I could completed the order for my other-in-law. I went back in to place the order for her and soon after received 3 emails for confirmations. I only placed 2 orders; however, it appears that when the site closed out it had already taken my original order. So, my mother-in-law ended up with 2 orders of flowers. Not that she minded; however, I was charged for both orders. I called Customer Service and they could easily see what had happened; however, the said they could not credit my account for the double order. I shop with 1-800 Flowers all the time and I expected them to be a bit more proactive when they could see what had happened. Needless to say, they did not crdit back my account. So, from the original 2 orders I was placing, I ended up with 3 and was charged for 3. They have always been very good, which is why I use them so often. This...

So trust me when I say that Splenda is the brand to use when comparing it to other sweetners. Equal is a brain toxicant, saccharin has its own hazards to your health. Splenda is rapidly excreted in your system through urine and feces and is about 400 times stronger than your regulr tablespoon of sugar. Therefore, you do not even have to use the whole packet! definetly...

It is well organized, pleasant on the eyes and welcoming. Come and...

The price was great and the flowers were beautiful. I talked to my sister the other day and she said they still looked great. The thing I liked most is that even though I ordered a couple days before mother's day their delivery charge was the best I could find for next day delivery and to top it off they gave a discount and I was a first time pruchaser. Thanks for the wonderful service and I will definitely use them again. — Sigrid Davis —...

They always last a long time or live and thrive after getting them delivered. It for the most part is delivered ontime or if not, there is always a good reason. Living far from any of my relatives I resort to sending plants/flowers/gifts quite often during the year to let them know I am thinking about them. — I have only one problem...does a five dollar plant really have to cost fourty? — You tell me who's making money on my guilt. —...

They were wilted, vase broke, not what ordered not happy with apperance, Last cam Saturday and looked like they were half dead...

I have been using them for the past three years and i have not had any problems. The only thing that I do not like is the colors that they send out. If they have a color on the website then that should be the color that is sent to the family...
