Onlinewholesaleflowers - Fraud at its finest! UPDATE!!!

by bjballard

I was the second person to write a review about Online Wholesale Flowers. Reading all of the reviews this morning really breaks my heart. I wish I could have talked to every one of you before you made the decision to order from these people. Weddings are supposed to be fun, happy times and the last thing anyone wants to worry about is flowers. OWF has had 118 complaints filed against them in the last 36 months. I found the Vegas B B B to be totally worthless. It was a waste of time and emotion. I talked to my local Justice of the Peace and was told I could file a claim in small claims court. Even if I won a judgment, I would never get any money out of them. They have made a great living feeding on innocent victims. They have had several different businesses....freeze dried flowers....and many other floral businesses under different names. I wrote a letter to the Las Vegas Sun and it wasn't published. In looking at their corporation record this morning, I found that their business license was revoked on 5/01/08. Perhaps that explains the disconnected phone number, the defunct website, etc. I tried to list the links to confirm this info, but this website won't allow any reference to websites. Check out the Nevada Secretary of State website. Romano Enterprises corporate number is C8968-2003. Search by name for the B B B info. My heart goes out to all of you who had any dealings with these miserable pond skum. If something isn't done about these people, it will only be a matter of time before they start another business under another name and continue ripping people off. That is their M.O. Something needs to be done to stop them...FOREVER. bballard57@yahoo.co(m) (Delete parentheses because this site doesn't allow the word after the domain)

They are not a reputable company, but a SCAM!!!!

by Natalie12345

OnLineWholesaleFlowers onlinewholesaleflowers completely FAILED to perform ! I have received the worst service from them ! They are not a reputable company, but a SCAM!!!!

Unfortunately I placed 3 orders with them at the same time. But now I wish I never did! If I only knew .....

The first order was completely wrong !!!! They sent me mini roses instead of the regular size ones and they were completely wrong color! I left them numerous messages that the order was wrong and asked them to refund me money, but they never responded to any of my calls or e/m, and I never heard back from them!

The second order. They failed to sent me flowers for June 14th wedding, they have ruined the

wedding by not proving flowers I ordered and paid for. I left several messages and

e/m and nobody returned by calls. I told them that they must issue a full refund, but they never responded back to me, they charged me money, but failed to send me any flowers!

Flower were suppose to be delivered on June 12th

But NO FLOWERS WERE DELIVERED OR RECEIVED !!!!!!!

The third order I asked them to cancell, but none of my calls or e/m were retuned and now their phone is disconnected and all e/m and faxes are bouncing back.

Worst service ever!!!

• Cons: Thumbs down

Wedding nightmare!

by eekdeco

I also wished I would have read these reviews prior to this whole ordeal. I placed an order in May and thought it would be a good idea last week to call and confirm my order. When I called the phone number was disconnected, emails were all rejected and the website was gone. They took my money and left. Thankfully my credit card company refunded my money but now I have to go through the trouble of finding flowers two months before my wedding. I feel so sorry for the people who did not know of this scamming company until the day of their wedding when they had no flowers. Like I said, I believe the company and Nina are no longer in business but I can't help but feel like someone should be held responsible for this and have consequences. The idea that someone would take advantage of people planning such an important life event is appauling and sickening!

• Pros: None
• Cons: EVERYTHING!!!

scam artists - you will be sorry!!!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! BEWARE!!

For the record I will say I spoke to Nina from OWF to confirm my order the day before the following events happened.

2 days before my wedding I received about half of my flowers (only in mediocre condition by the way). Once my mother and I realized this we immediately called the customer service line and spoke to Nina. She informed us that the other half of my order was shipped directly from another flower farm in Florida. OWF is based in Las Vegas. So much for the claim on their website that they see every single flower shipped to their customers!! What a joke! She had NO info on this farm, not even the city of where it was located or a contact person. Nina said she would work on contacing the farm or getting more info for us to try to track down the shipment, and never called back or answered when we called back. By this time it was 7 pm the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. I was in panic mode. Now I had to find substitute pink tall flowers that would fill 17 tower vase centerpieces. OWF nearly ruined my wedding day. I spent the entire day with my mother frantically calling and visiting floral shops gathering what we could to fill in. Also, no trace of a "lost shipment" ever surfaced. I suspect the other half of my flowers were never sent out. This mess is currently being disputed with Dept. of Consumer Protection so my parents receive credit to their Mastercard for the flowers that were paid for, but never received. OWF continues to be uncooperative in returning calls and letters. No bride should have to be in the position I was in the day before her wedding. Brides have enough to worry about as it is! Buyer beware.

• Pros: none
• Cons: incompetent staff, poorest customer service I've ever dealt with, doesn't stant behind their service (or lack thereof), false claims on website

Unbeleivably evil!

by taranicole88

They stole my money and have never called me back! My wedding was June 5th and the flowers were supposed to arrive at my husband's parents house near the wedding the day before but they never came. They took the money out of my bank account in April. My bridesmaids and I left a series of messages for two days begging them to at least let me know what was going on, but we never heard back. Now the phone is rolling straight to voicemail. We ended up having to get flowers from the grocery store, an added expense and much less glamorous than I had pictured for my wedding.

These guys will rip you off when you are most vulnerable -- I wish I would have know that before I forked over my $250. Pure evil.

• Pros: Nothing.
• Cons: They stole my money and caused me lots of stress and grief.

Crooks and cheats

by Harperdmo

It is quite unfortunate that my wife did not see the numerous reviews online stating the evils of the supposed "company" Like many of you the wedding day came and went with no contact what-so-ever from anyone. Phone calls and messages have not been returned as well as numerous emails. Not it seems that the mail box is full and no longer able to accept any of my hate mail. They however, messed with the wrong guy. I am reaching out to any interested in sticking it to these couple of degenerates that get off on ruining the happiest days in people's lives. I am collecting as much info as I can to give to a good friend of mine who is a district attorney and the more information the better. These people need to be locked up for a long time so they can't hurt more people. Anyone interested can contact me at harperdmo@hotmail.co(m). I look forward to hearing from some of you

• Pros: they take your money quickly
• Cons: no service no flowers no way of contacting. Get their jolies by destroying special days

How can anyone be so sour???

by BitterBride13

A sheer disappointment...my friends were getting ready for my wedding while I was shopping for flowers that were supposed to arrive two days before the big day. I can only hope that karma will have its way. The local florists were AMAZING...stay local...it pays off! And Nina...I only hope you "get what you pay for." Fate has a way of working itself out.

• Pros: Zero.
• Cons: Too many to name.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!

by cmj007

Let me tell you I only wished that I had found these reviews prior to losing my money. I had a wedding to do on 06-21-08. I order flowers on 5-20-08 paid for them that day IN FULL. The delivery date was suppose to be 06/19/08 well much to my surprise the flowers never showed up and I could not get anyone on the phone. I only hope this B**** is in jail where she belongs. I can't believe there are actually people in this world that are so freaking miserable that they would almost ruin one of the most important days of a brides life. What is even more surprising than that is it is still going on and noone has stopped this! I would love to join in and do everything in our power to take this old miserable hag down!!!!!! I hate liars and theives and believe you me she will get what she deserves 10 fold.

• Pros: THERE ARE NO PROS DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
• Cons: LIAR, THEIF, CONARTIST, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON

AWFUL...AWFUL...TERRIBLE COMPANY AND OWNERS

by olafmn

Despite charging my credit card 6 weeks prior to the agreed upon delivery the order never showed up!

Phone calls and e-mail were all ignored. I was able to get the flowers locally and everything was ready for the wedding, but the stress and time that this caused was awful.

These are awful people and one can only hope that karma will intervene upon them.

How do Master Card and Visa still allow them to process payments?

Heed the warnings on this site. No amount of savings is worth the trouble!

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: Thieves, Liars, Deadbeats, Scoundrels

THIEVES

by Scout831

Please note that this is not a company. It's one woman who can easily hide from you with no fear of repercussions. Nina, she has my money and apparently my $600 worth of flowers. Flowers were supposed to be delivered on Thursday. I called and called and when I finally got through she demanded they had been sent through Fedex. Fedex said she's lying. She later (pretending to be someone else in "sales") said that Fedex wouldn't deliver such a big order and it would come direct by truck. Of course, since I live on the East Coast, that's impossible to send flowers by truck. Anyway, one or two more run-arounds and she finally started hanging up on us when we got through the automated phone system. Now she answers the phone for no one. Hopefully my bank can help get my money back, but beware: The Vegas Chamber and the Federal Fraud Department have filed at least 90 claims on OWF since 2004. Don't waste your money just to end up with tears on your wedding day. (FYI - 2GRoses worked very well, if you're still looking for a wholesaler.)

• Pros: Take your order and have good selection.
• Cons: Don't ever send your flowers and then pretend not to know you.
