A solicitation from DHGate.com, a Chinese wholesale marketplace from which I've made a couple of purchases. It sounded like an actual human being, as my name was used in a non-robotic form, and was advertising their summer sales.
I ordered flowers today from Teleflora since I saw Hallmark quit the flower business. I order these flowers at 11:30AM EST well before the 2PM cut off to get the flowers out according to their website. Well at 4:05PM EST. I get a call from ONE WILSHIRE (213) 629-4831. Of course I don't answer unknowns or names that are not recognizable. Surely this is an outsourcing from Teleflora. I give the guy credit for pronouncing my last name correctly, but he was much to fast speaking the callback number and when saying the confirmation number. I had to play back the recording a few times to catch everything. Needless to say, I won't be using TeleFlora or the local florist I chose again, as they had to reschedule for tomorrow. Poor service!
I got the 213 call. I get a lot of calls that are not for me, so I didn't answer. I looked it up and saw here that it was Teleflora, which I had placed an order through yesterday. 3 red roses. I called the 213 number, but it reports disconnected. I went to their site to get the 800 number. They weren't sure if I wanted red roses. (the description is "3 red roses", how could they be confused.). Teleflorist updated the florist. We'll see if they can get it right now.
I'd recommend answering these. It should be legitimate.
I just got a call from an asian lady, perhaps of phillipine decent..First, I thought, oh a happy massage, then she said she was from Teleflore and requesting to speak with ..... I told her there is no one by that name at this number (because there isn't)..About 2 minutes later, another call--went to vmx...same lady stating no available address to deliver flowers..I give up, I don't even know who they are for..I just got done telling her I don't know who the person she is trying to call and no one by that name at the number..
This is teleflora customer service calling to clarify an order or, in my case, tell me that a particular order could not be filled by local merchants. Very polite and a much appreciated service. Teleflora has always done an excellent job for me.
received 2 calls from this number with no message. tried to call it back and got recording that the number was not in service, thought I dialed the number wrong, tried again and got same message. Checked the boards here and found out it was a teleflora number. (I had ordered flowers yesterday for my daughter who just had a baby, order cost me $100 and they delivered 4 carnations and 6 daisys! That was not what was placed) When they called again I answered and yes, it was teleflora. They informed me the local florist was busy with christmas deliveries and would not be able to send out the New Baby arrangement until December 26th. A lot of good that does when she leaves the hospital today. :(
