problem is you dont get whats on the site if your in a rush and while there website promises a DAy of delivery on it
to draw you INTO the site to look
they cannot deliver 99% of there product on the specified date online
100% false advertising
i had searched google and called them in advance and they guaranteed they could deliver within 4 days advance of my order. so great i was set. But there links stated they were in San Diego
well i found out the gift basket from www.gifttree.com and not www.giftreae.com
they are in vancouver washington central office and more of a call center
there products all SAY a deliver day on them on the website but i ordered 4 days in advance of a delivery date
and they could not guarantee that date
so instead they delivered today... the 3rd day... and guess what they did... they said keep the basket and refunded me 100% including shipping because in reality if they cannot deliver a basket within 4 days with advertising over night delivery then NO one in usa canada or mexico should be buying this way?
so what i found out is this
alot of there product is made in a huge single wharehouse in terms of packaging
then its shipped and stored in wharehouse but if you go to their website you'll see that there is a price range slider
so i selected a basket range between 50-70$ and paid ultimately for a birthday basket and the order rep cold not offer me a birthday basket within 4 days of my order cornucopia instead telling me they are NOT located near the deliver address & the basket but when it was delivered it did not even LOOK like a birthday nor the cornucopia basket and this is what they charged me 75$ for. First they offered me a 20$ discount for it then they refunded me and BANNEd me from ordering on their site again after I told them I loved 5 of their products but none of which could be delivered within 4 days of San Diego - Cleary there WEBSITE tactics while global in nature are no where near as accurate as a small delivery shop wanting to build on reputation.

POSTED: Wednesday, January 16, 2013I can see that this has been a very frustrating experience for you. I would be frustrated too, if I were trying to send a birthday basket and could not get what I wanted to the recipient in the desired time. It looks like you needed to get your gift to the recipient quickly, but did not want to expedite the shipping, so you were referred to a hand-delivered gift, which is filled and delivered by one of our amazing local design centers. For the future, please know that we list the earliest date we could get the gift to your recipient, which may require expedited shipping in some cases--this is what you were looking at.
After looking at your account, I can see that you requested delivered to take place on the 3rd, or 4th before noon. I can see that the fruit basket was delivered on the 3rd, since we can not guarantee time requests--we wanted to make sure we met your original deadline.
I would like to apologize for the frustration and disappointment that you felt with this process. We value all of our customers, and it pains us to hear when we did not meet expectations. I hope that you will accept our sincerest apologies.
Thanks so much!

Of course reading your complaint is pretty difficult, the level of grammar and wording suggests someone who never left kindergarten or someone who is drunk. My advice would be to have someone from your family help you to rewrite your rebuttal to replace this one as i don't think anyone would be able to understand it. i sure don't!
