FTD Flower Groupon Problems

by Dana Zeliff on February 14, 20112011-02-14

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

Did you purchase the FTD flower Groupon I posted?  I was unaware that they really weren’t giving you a 50% discount after-all.

This is the info from Budget Savvy Diva:

It seems that FTD wanted to give a discount – but NOT a 50% discount. Consumers who purchased the Groupon voucher were in a rude awaking – they had to purchase from a special FTD site in which prices for flowers were much higher then retail. I personally thought they were very high. Can you believe that? Do you think that was right for FTD to do – or Groupon to miss it.

Well the good news is Groupon is giving refunds to consumers who bought the FTD voucher and were not satisfied – how awesome is that for Groupon to do.

Did you purchase this Groupon?  What do you think of this misleading deal?

    Wow! That seems misleading. How unfair for the Flower company who markets for FTD to do that. Errr! Well, I just bought a Groupon for the magazine subscription (hoping for an All You subscription…)

      I was glad I didn’t purchase it. I also did. This is the first issue I have seen with Groupons deals except when the company went out of business, but Groupon gave refunds.

      Very disappointing

    FTD sucks and Groupon loses major points for this. Not a good time on this special day for all to go wrong. Try calling their 1-800 customer service number. They are not taking calls at this time….. SPREAD THE WORD….DO NOT ORDER THROUGH FTD.

    Thanks for posting this – I still cannot believe this. Groupon had a similar problem with the discounted movie tickets.
