Highly Recommend This Florist

by Kay2003

I was impressed with this florist's web site and found the exact arrangement that I wanted to order for a grand opening of a friend's business. I called the florist since it was late in the day and I was afraid they would not be able to deliver the arrangement that same day. They said that they could deliver the arrangement within the hour. My friend loved the flowers and sent me a photo of the arrangement. It was just as I ordered. I have since ordered several other arrangements from Gifford's and been very pleased. I would Highly Recommend Gifford's for their breath of designs and exceptional service. .

• Pros: Great web site and service!

My favorite Florist

by AddieMac

Their selection of flowers go way beyond the familiar selection found at other florists. I also like how they support local growers. Every morning on my way to work I see the people at Gifford's buying flowers from people who pull up to the shop with their pick-up trucks full of fresh cut flowers. I've never been disappointed with any of the flowers I bought there or arrangements I've sent.

• Pros: Amazing selection of flowers

Excellent service for an out-of town order.

by murphyc23

I needed to order birthday flowers for my girlfriend from out-of-state. After searching around a few websites, I stumbled upon Gifford's, and I liked the different look of their bouquets.

Not sure of exactly what I wanted, I called the 800 number, and the first person I reached was very knowledgeable about their various designs. She listened to what I was trying to do and was able to suggest a design for me. She also helped to customize the flower colors and gave me ideas about presentation.

The flowers were delivered to my girlfriend's office early in the workday and completely wowed her. The non-standard red-black roses, leaf-wrapped bouquet, and unusual vase made the flowers stand out, and made her very happy.

I am definitely going to use them again.

• Pros: Helpful suggestive staff, beautiful selections.

Worth the Wait!

by marty0011

I read a not -so-positive review using Gifford's Flowers for wedding flowers. I had the opposite experience planning my wedding. Laura was a pleasure to work with.... She was knowledgeable and was up-to-date on the latest wedding trends. They seemed very busy... but I always felt my wedding was a priority. My wedding flowers exceeded all my expectations... thanks to Laura and Gifford's.

• Pros: Exceeded my expectations!
• Cons: They are very busy!

Bad service for a wedding!!!

by augwed

I had been talking with Laura a few times through e-mail about my ideas on flowers. It thought she was very helpful, so I was really excited for my actual appointment. When I came to the appointment, Laura didn't have any examples of her work to show me and she wasn't helpful at all! At the end of the appointment she had jotted notes down on a notepad, and said she would look over it and give me an estimate in a few days. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER! Needless to say, I didn't get my flowers from them. If I were you, I wouldn't either!

• Pros: none
• Cons: Poor service and communication

Over priced, Small arrangement, Horrible customer service

by sphynx

Was in Kansas and ordered an arrangement through FTD to be sent to my husband in Portland for our anniversary. I requested a wildflower arrangement and was charged $68. The arrangement my husband received consisted of 2 sunflowers, a couple small yellow flowers and a few long purple flowers. I was very embarrased when he showed me what he received. His comment was... "I hope you didn't pay much for this." When Giffords was contacted, they said the arrangement was sufficient for what was requested and there would be no compensation. I would NEVER recommend this florist!!

• Pros: ???
• Cons: Customer service; quality; price

High Quality Flowers Accompanied with Superb Customer Service? Yes, Please!

by PortlandBlue

I walked into this classic looking florist, adequately hidden beneath a group of shady trees. Inside, I was greeted by two very friendly associates, one of whom helped me find exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a ?Hawaiian? looking flower that I could wear in my hair.

Not only was I shown their beautiful and high quality array of fresh Hawaiian flowers, but the gal that helped me even helped me choose the perfect flower bulb to wear in my hair. Then, she took it upon herself to take my flower to the back and wire-wrap accordingly so that it could be pinned in my hair. While she was doing this, the other gal who worked there gave me a little tour of the store and showed me what flowers were in season! Then they sprayed my flower, wrapped it in a cute little box, and told me how to care for it so that I could wear it the next day.

Not bad for only $5!!! :]]

• Pros: Quality of the flowers, Knowledge/Friendliness of the store associates
• Cons: Hmm... Can't think of any right now!
