Reviews of Blossom Shop Inc. (Florist)

Deborah Peeples

The Blossom Shop went the second and third mile for me to enjoy beautiful birthday flowers from my sister in Florida. It was difficult for me to call about a delivery problem - I hate complainers, and surely don't want to be one - but they were so pleasant and eager to get it right for me. Thank you, Blossom Shop!! When I sent a pic of the arrangement to my sister, she, too, said, "WOW!" May your business prosper, friends - Debbie

Best flower service in Columbia. I ordered flowers for next day delivery and they were delivered by 10am. The whole process was very easy and painless. The flowers looked great and I appreciate the prompt delivery.

Tried to order flowers from their website for Valentine's day. I had a nice arrangement picked out, was placing the order, but no delivery on the 14th remained. This is ok, I understand with the volume it is not possible. I called the shop and spoke with an employee to see if they could squeeze me in. During the call, I found out that they in no way can guarantee which arrangement they will send. They do not mention this on their website. They are quick to take your money and send something completely different than what you order. I will be ordering elsewhere. Beware.

Best quality and service in the whole area of Columbia, South Carolina

Calling long distance to make a order, person very short manners, not offering the best of help. Not a business I will ever call again for flowers.

Last night 6/13/19 I placed an order for flowers, box of chocolate and a balloon, at noon the following day 6/14/19 they had not been delivered, when I called to check on them the manager told me they had the order but the delivery guy was out. I asked him since the order was placed the night before I was expecting them to be delivered around 12 pm on 6/14/19 since the order was placed on 6/13/19. The manager also stated i would need to call my orders in because they didn't know how the website is ran or setup, so since my order was not specified on either PM or AM what an excuse. The manager got perturb when I started asking questions about why their online website doesn't have options on what time of day you want the order delivered. I received my flowers around 2-2:30 pm on 6/14/19 none of what I asked for was with my order, only thing i received was the flowers. I called them back to let them know that my order was missing items, I called and spoke with a lady who was very pleasant however, I was then given to Corky whom I spoke with on my first call. I told him that my box of chocolates and balloon was not included with my order, his response was "My Bad" he was well aware they had a made and mistake but never went the extra step to correct my order, he offered to credit my account but never offer to make the order right or even bothered. I will not use the location again nor will I refer anyone here, if the customer service is this bad why would I take the extra step in telling someone to get flowers from this location.

Thank you . Just beautiful

They made a wonderful custom arrangement for my wife on our anniversary.

Heather Kacz

I ordered flowers for a grand opening for one of our offices and Corky called me to tell me that what I ordered was not available. After taking the time to understand what I was looking for, Corky told me that he'd make something even better and grander - and he did! The flower arrangement turned out BEAUTIFUL! It was absolutely perfect! Great customer service. I highly recommend!

Nick Thunman

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Blossom Shop. They are the friendliest, most reliable service I have encountered. The prices are great, but the service is amazing. If you ever need flowers, especially as a delivery service, this is absolutely the best option.

Marilyn Meade

Corkey from Blossom Shop did flowers for our wedding as well as our reception. Outstanding! He listened to what we wanted and followed through. The flowers were beautiful and fresh. Delivered as promised. Also a delightful gentleman to work with. Highly recommend.

Christopher Harwell

Thank you so much Blossom Shop for bringing a beaming smile to my wife's face!!! Erika used her professional judgement based on a few questions and put together the most beautiful bouquet. They delivered the bouquet super fast. I will be using The Blossom Shop anytime I need a floral arrangement.

Menita Hyde

I cannot say enough about how much I love the Blossom Shop. I have ordered flowers to be delivered to my daughter on several occasions and they are always beautiful and delivered at the time expected.Today, it was very important to me that my daughter was able to receive an arrangement before she left for class.The gentleman on the phone, I wish I had asked his name, was just awesome and empathetic about the situation. The flowers were delivered within 2 hours and called her to let he know they were in the lobby of her apartment building. So thankful!

Beck Frazier

They delivered the most beautiful arrangement to me and it lasted for 3 weeks! I changed the water often, cut the stems, and discarded spent flowers, but it was over a week before any of them died! Very pleased and will most definitely use them for my flower needs.

John Bender

Please own up to your mistakes and fix them. i ordered a 150$ of flowers and they misspelled "xeroxing" for "zeroing" . This is a professional establishment right ? also dont hang up in a Airmen's face for simply expressing my concerns. you could have simply printed a new card and delivered it! But you chose to be rude and hang up... im done ranting!

Penny Kistner

We had flowers delivered to our daughter on her birthday.The flowers were so beautiful and perfect.We could not have asked for more..They were gorgeous!!!! The flower delivery was smooth without any difficulty.we absolutely recommend Bloosom Shop.

Destinee Harper

Horrible customer service! I will never go back. The manager was extremely rude, he was disrespectful to my family member & never apologized. I’m disgusted with this place.

Amanda Burri

Wish I had read some of these before I used them. Disappointed with the quality of the arrangement (ordered one pictured with lots of roses and hydrangeas. Specifically called to make sure that the arrangement was to look like the picture and contain quality flowers, not fillers. Arrangement was to be delivered on Thursday, but did not actually get delivered until Saturday, although the company did NOT notify me of the more than 2-day delay or inquire if that was acceptable to me. Flowers sent looked like something I could purchase at my local grocery, except not that nice, even. Lots of cheap filler, not one single hydrangeas; ugly dark purple roses (I specifically said NO purple roses when I called to order). The manager was offensive and argumentative. He did not apologize for lateness or lack or quality. Here are the pictures of the flowers ordered (the lovely pink and white arrangement -- the exact same "level" I paid for, not an upgraded picture) and the ones that were sent, about 1/2 half the size, no flowers other than roses and those heinous purple flowers....all delivered late. You be the judge if that is 100% guaranteed satisfaction. If I had known that the delivery was not going to be made until Saturday late afternoon, rather than Thursday, as promised in the delivery order, I would have order a "mail order" boxed flower instead. Find some other place to buy your flowers if you are ordering from out of town... Lesson learned for me. I'm glad this is not my local florist. I'm embarrassed that this is the gift that was sent....very tacky.

Brett Porth

Best flower shop in Columbia! Always get my order accurate and delivered on time. My wife always raves about the arrangements she receives. I have used them for years because they are so reliable.

Cheryl Miller

Not as pictured. I ordered a bouquet styled as a birthday cake online. The image with the pink flowers is what they showed on their website. The other image is what my recipient got. (Nailed it!) I understand that when you purchase flowers online that there might be some differences between the pictured and actual bouquets, but this is misleading and not at all in line with what I spent. Find another florist.

Pamela Deas

My husband and I ordered the "How Sweet It Is" Bouquet for our daughter for Valentine's Day. The image as shown is a $70 arrangement. I bumped up the Deluxe Arrangement because I wanted it a bit fuller for $80. The image attached is what she received. Not even close to the fullness of the arrangement shown and definitely NOT A DELUXE!!! Extremely disappointed. Normally we order from one of the big box florist online and we decided to patronize a local florist. Epic fail!!!! I could have stopped at a local grocery store and picked up a better bouquet than this. Shame on you Blossom Shop!!!

BETTY EDWARDS

Worst looking arrangement I have ever seen and definitely NOT what we discussed in person or what I was promised!! When I called the shop to complain, I was given a defensive and very snobby attitude by the store manager, Corky. I was told to go shop in another lesser florist that was more my taste such as Storey's in Lexington!! What an uppity little snob!! No partial refund was offered for this UGLY arrangement, but I could come pick up 3 white roses if I wanted to. I will NEVER give them my business again!! They make over-priced arrangements and offer them with a side of arrogance!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! You can get prettier, CLASSIER, arrangements from a grocery store!! PRETENTIOUS THIEVES!!

M.R. Hunter

The flowers I ordered for a co-worker were absolutely beautiful!!! I appreciate the fact you send a confirmation invoice after the flowers were delivered. I've found my "NEW Florist", I'll definitely be using your services in the future. Thank you!! #beautifularrangement

A great place to work with super talented designers! I am constantly amazed by their arrangements. From simple and inexpensive to elaborate, they are sure to impress!

I stopped in here to pick out some flowers for a random surprise. Ive passed by before and I know they have a decent selection especially if you are looking for something out of the ordinary roses and carnations. I know they have usually carried birds of paradise and orchids. I browse around and someone comes out from the back and asks if they can help me. I tell them I'm just looking for now. I see some nice flowers. I see some nice vases. Its a flower shop. Figured I could pick something out and buy it right? Wrong. No one had come out front for a while so I stuck my head around the corner and some tween girl was sitting behind a computer. I asked if she could help me out. She said there should be someone up front and when she saw that there wasn't she either sighed in annoyance or snarled at me. She asks if im placing an order or picking up an order. I ask her if i can just pick put a few things. So she asks me again if im placing an order or picking up an order. So I said I'll place an order. I figgured what the hell, i came to pick up some flowers but might as well just have them delivered for Valentines day. She started taking my name and address. Apparently I was taking too long to long to look up my wife's work address because she let out another snarl or growl or sigh of frustration. Then she asked me what i wanted and what my price point was. I hadnt really come in planning to place an order but whatever, its Valentines Day. The sky's the limit. I said well what do you have? Can I just pick something out from the fridge or do you have pictures I can choose from or what? She just asks me "what's your price point?". Then she snarled at me. This time foaming at the mouth. Or maybe it was was just another annoyed sigh. I couldn't take it anymore. I told her I'll just get some flowers somewhere else. We'll just settle for Trader Joe's flowers this year. Then when i walked out the door I am pretty sure she shape shifted into a direwolf or something and snarled again. Either that or she grumpily crumpled up the piece of paper with my order info and gave another one of those aggrevated sighs. But im pretty sure it was a direwolf. This was the second worst floral experience ever. The worst was when i was 7 and saw a bee on a dandelion and it stung me on the thumb. Seriously though. She was pretty rude. Which I would have dealt with but she made it too difficult to order flowers. I give them two stars instead of one because they still seemed to have a nice selection. Grrrr. Direwolf.

Mrs E

Excellent service. I called on a Friday, approximately 2 hrs before closing, to place an order for a corsage. My order was ready & waiting when I went to pick it up Saturday morning. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly. I also spoke with a female over the phone on Friday and she was as nice as could be. I appreciate the fast and friendly service.

Darlene Van Omen

We have used this flower shop for many years. They have ALWAYS provided exceptional service and arrangements!!! Today they exceeded our needs!!! Ordered flowers with specific requests and they were delivered to the hospital within two hours and the arrangement was absolutely beautiful!!!! Will continue to do business with such a wonderful establishment.

Caroline Beskid

Terrible communication and very rude to us. Called me unprofessional due to their own miscommunication. Beautiful flowers, CRAZY service.

Cathy Hinson

Roger at Blossom Shop is the BEST!! We can always count on him to deliver a beautiful arrangement.

Kathy Crawford

The Blossom Shop has always exceeded my expectations! I've used them for years and for everything. Flowers for my mother-in- law, son's proms and for their girlfriends. They just did my son's wedding and it was spectacular! They are the friendliest and most caring people! They will always have our business and our recommendation!

Marianne829 .

I have used The Blossom Shop on three occasions so far, yesterday as being the most recent. I ordered a Halloween arrangement for my daughter which included fall flowers and a pumpkin . Rudy created this masterpiece and she loved it!! The delivery was quick and the flowers were fresh and beautiful..I always encourage local businesses and support them. You will NOT be disappointed when you place an order with The Blossom Shop... I have made my orders online without a problem... I have called the shop to thank them for such great product and service, and they are genuinely nice and professional. I plan to use them whenever the chance comes up to send a gorgeous flower arrangement.

Elizabeth Nicholson

Blossom Shop delivered the most wonderful bouquet of daisies to my daughter for her 40th birthday. They always seemed to know what I want and I never have to worry what the flowers look like or if they will be delivered when promised. Thanks Roger!

Susan DeMarco

Friendly staff and helpful! Even when a mistake is made, they are quick to rectify the situation with smiles on their faces! I would do business with them anytime!

Alan Smith

Thank you Blossom Shop. You made a bouquet of flowers for my mom's birthday. She loved it and its still on the table 2 weeks later.

A. Frederick

This is the second time in less than 2 weeks I have purchased flowers from this location. The staff is very friendly and helpful and made my selection very easy. Their beautiful floral arrangements made me look very good for the people I purchased flowers for.

Kimberley Greig

As a company, we purchased flowers for our owner for Boss' Day. We ordered a "premium" bouquet. The website stated specific dimensions 15in by 18in. We selected this one based on the colors and size. We even called after placing the order to verify that the order was received and that they were able to make the arrangement with no substitutions. We were told that everything would be good. It delivered today and it is CLEARLY not the size we ordered. We called the shop and had the pleasure of speaking with a very rude manager, Corky. He was not helpful at all and did not want to address our concerns. We will not be ordering any more flowers from this business. A little customer service goes a long way.

Currently deployed overseas so I figured I'd order some flowers for my girl. After ordering a $120 bouquet for my girlfriend she received nothing resembling the pictures posted online. I wouldn't recommend this florist to any one in the local area.

This company has very very very bad business practice. I know of a wedding planner who was working with them to do a wedding that is three weeks away. They talked as if they were going to do it . They planned site visits never showed up and then decided they just were not going to do it .Had all the excuses in the world. Said she never even booked the day and no contract was made and they were booked for that day.Really???!!!???!!! When they realized the wedding wasn't for the wedding planner who happens to be African American woman but for a high profile client all of a sudden their books were free for that day and apologies were made. Welp I believe you are a little too late Blossom Shop. Learn to treat all customers the same and just as important s the next you don't know how turning away one customer can ruin all future potential clients. Money lost .. and reputation out of the window. Unreliable, Unprofessional, Unfriendly doesn't care about your business, or ruining your special day. If i could give no stars . I would

Ariel Kristek

I live out of state and was needing to send flowers to a funeral service for a relative. It was hard shopping since we aren't in the area to look through arrangements. I spoke to two people. One woman and one man. They made the selection very easy and made the delivery on time to the funeral home. We appreciate their kind service in a time of need. They were very compassionate and helped us make the right selection.

Rita McBeth

i ordered flowers for a memorial. rudy designed the three arragements and they are spectacular. they have a sparse but spectular presence. they exceed all expectations --- and i expected wonders from the blossom shop and that is what they designed

Patti Tautenhan

Ordered a birthday arrangement. I also asked for specific flowers and really emphasized how special the occasion was and how discerning the recipient was. They were so nice on the phone and seemed excited to do something really beautiful. They did just as I asked, and the arrangement was gorgeous and perfect. Will use them again. Great customer service, great talent, great outcome!

Connie Burnette

DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST PLEASE READ!!!! I live out of town and wanted to send my Aunt a huge and beautiful arrangement of plants with lot of greenery plants to create a memory garden in memory of my Grandmother. I spent 98.98 for pink hydrangea and some other plant there was no greenery and it looked like I bought it at the general dollar store Even the basket was cheap looking. Would never recommend this florist and would never use them again. Sad due to it ruined a special idea for my Aunt and I felt so disappointed after trying to plan something very special and memorial. This could be a great opportunity for this florist. Dick-Dyer sends a lot of gifts though out the year from florist. Please if you want to send the very best DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!

Candace Gunning

Prom always comes so fast and with all the little details we forgot flowers, but the Blossom Shop popped up in my search and best thing they had a much greater selection than FTD or 1-800flowers better yet their local!!! Put my order in for next day delivery and got a call when a small change was needed from the sweetest lady promising she’d fix everything and when the flowers arrived they were perfect. Thanks Blossom Shop!!!!

William Mooneyhan

Great business. You can see Roger and his crews attention to detail in every arrangement.

Barbara Bowen

I'm not a big fan of the traditional bowl cut arrangements and when I told Blossom Shop this and that I liked "different" they exceed my expectations with the amazing arrangement that was sent!

Colby Prime

Wonderful service and extremely fast. I would def recommend them and will use them for a third time!!

Davey Rowe

Terrible! Avoid like the plague, there must be a good florist in Columbia somewhere, but this isn't it! They essentially scammed all of their customers on Valentines day. I purchased an arrangement for my wife, with a box of chocolates. I purchased the most expensive one on their website; this is my wife and I's first Valentines day being married, so I wanted to impress her. The arrangement, delivery, and candy totaled a little over $300. I purchased an arrangement last year FROM ANOTHER FLORIST for her while we were courting, it was about half the price and it was great. Huge, beautiful, and remarkable. So you can imagine my expectation that for nearly twice the money, I was expecting something that would really WOW my wife this time. What she received was essentially just 18 roses, with nothing else. No other embellishments, or complimentary flowers. It looked pitiful. And it was in a PLASTIC CONTAINER, not even a vase!! The chocolate was generic and was of a brand that is sold at Walmart for a few dollars, I paid them over $20 for those. What a scam! $300 for a few roses, and a box of generic crap candy. What an embarrassing excuse for a florist. I cannot understand for the life of me why on earth they would short a customer willing to spend over $300 on flowers, don't they think they would lose valuable future business?? Dumb, dumb, dumb! Avoid this place, what a rip off!!

Martha Howard

I highly recommend Blossom Shop Inc. They are so caring and attentive to any order. I live in Northern Virginia and all my family lives in Columbia. I ca go on their website and place my order knowing it will get the best care. If there is any issue they call me to let me know and go above and beyond to fill it. It is so wonderful to be able to have such amazing customer service and quality product. Thank you so very much, Martha Howard

Sarah Largent

This florist shop was great! The establishment is very beautifully designed and the aroma was delightful. Customer service was on point. They were closing early for a meeting but still meet my needs. The arrangement wasn't exactly as the picture but was still just as beautiful. I highly recommend them for your floral needs!

Mattison

Wonderful arrangements, plants, pottery and more!
