“The berries were great, the delivery…

“The berries were great, the delivery was terrible. I spent more time on the phone with the company than driving them from Michigan to Atlanta. Their help were very kind on the phone but....I won't order again because of the delivery. One gal just left and took them. One never showed up but did text my son and told h im he had the berries and one made it. I spent a ton of money to surprise my kids for Easter and it was ruined....I do not like writing bad reviews. The company again was good, they were kind but they definitely need to change their delivery service.”

Biggest ripoff company around!!

They screwed me at valentines with a delivery a week late.quick to sell it but horrible after.
But i took a chance yesterday 4/14/25 and bought my mom some cheesecake bites.9@$65.82 for her birthday sat..right after saying fri delivery and taking my money they called right back and said sorry looks like may 12 delivery. Who waits a month for food? Told them to refund my money. But now i have 2 charges of 65.83 and called again and they said it may take 5-10 days so they completly ruined my extra money for her birthday. I will never ever never ever ever do buisness with this rotten company.they suck all the way around.nothing but liars and scammers

MY MOM LITERALLY CRIED BECAUSE OF HOW DISGUSTING 🤮 THE FRUITS WERE. I SPENT A $150 WITH THESE PEOPLE FOR THEM TO SEND ME A BOX FILLED WITH SPOIL AND ROTTEN FRUITS PLUS FRUITS THAT I ORDER WAS MISSING FROM THE BOX. THE WORST PLACE TO DO BUSINESS WITH.

Strawberries were not as presented

Strawberries were not as presented, half of them were very small, the chocolate dip was messy, and the berries were not good. These were gifted, and it was a complete embarrassment. A total rip off and a waste of money. I will never purchase from this company again. If I could upload a picture I would because I have one saved. I reached out to the company after they were delivered. Valentine’s Day, and my message was ignored.

Ruined Valentine's Day

I ordered flowers and dipped strawberries one month in advance back on January 15th for Valentine's Day delivery because I was going to be out of the country. I paid extra for guaranteed Valentine's Day delivery. They arrived a day late. Flowers were not as pretty as pictured, strawberries were room temperature because all of the ice packs had melted. A complete joke of a company. I've filed a Paypal claim for a full refund. Thankfully my sweetheart was understanding.

I received chocolate covered strawberries and a cake for a birthday gift. They were both horribly disgusting. You would be best not to waste your money on this. I had to throw everything out after just one bite. I feel bad for my family who bought them for me.

Fresh and delicious

The strawberries are large, fresh and juicy! Your chocolate is absolutely delicious! I was hard pressed forcing myself to make them last for three days! My mouth waters just thinking about them. (Yes, I did share with my husband!) I look forward to the next time he gifts me Shari’s Berries!

Terrible

Terrible! Ruined a special surprise. Delivery was 4 days late and product was bad by then! When I called they were insincere and didn’t care that they ruined everything.

I would give it a zero if that were an option. Delivery was promised 2/13/25. Product did not arrive. It did not arrive on Friday, 2/14/25. This was meant as a Valentine's gift, so then, they promised Delivery on Monday, 2/17/25, which is a holiday. The delivery was to a school for a teacher and the school is closed that entire week. Customer service is an 800 number in a foreign country. I have been promised a refund but I feel very doubtful about receiving it. The berries were delivered on 2/17/25. They were retrieved by the recipient who had to get them on her vacation. They looked terrible of course and were warm from sitting on an idle truck.

Placed and order for Valentine’s Day on…

Placed an order for Valentine’s Day on Feb 9th - requested delivery on Feb 13. They said the shipment would arrive Feb 14th. Today is Feb 16th. Tracker says it will now be delivered Feb 17th - 8 days for perishable goods; AND we are no longer at that second home address. Left this morning, February 16th, and returning mid- March. Requested a refund in their live agent chat room with no response.

Update:

To be fair, a rep did apologize and promised a refund…we’ll see if that happens. .

Ordered on 2/11 with a promised delivery for 2/13. The order never made it !! Apparently the company misspelled the name on the address it was misspelled by 1 letter and address was correct. After 1 hour on the phone it was agreed to reskin the order. Still unacceptable in my opinion as this was a very important Valentine gift and I was charged over $100!

Order never delivered but marked as delivered. Still nothing 2 days after and customer service is horrible. Forced them to refund after them trying to push a 15 dollar gift card on me. Then the item I ordered was out of stock. Fruit and chocolate was out of stock?!?!?

I have been sending sherrie's berries…

I have been sending sherrie's berries to my 3 kids AND their friends for about 20 years. Over the past few years the service has been horrible. This year was the last straw. I placed 3 separate orders for my grandchildren, ages 8, 7,2, and 1. The first order went to Texas, instead of Georgia. I noticed when I was putting in the delivery address it kept auto changing it but I thought it was in correctly. Nope. When I contacted them about a refund they refused so I placed another order, they are my grandchildren, and instead of it being it delivered on 02/14 it was delivered on 02/15. The seond order was delivered as promised. The 3rd order, to Philadelphia was a mess. I received a notice it was delivered but when I spoke with my daughter she said they had not been received. Went online to see what the issue was, because there is no phone number to call. They apologized and stated they would get another order out, could not tell me when that would be. Offered me a 15% refund and a 15.00 coupon for future orders. Also what I had ordered was no longer available. I told them since they couldn't give me a delivery date and I had to pick something else I wanted a full refund. Then offered a 50% refund with 15.00 coupon for future order. After waiting a long time they never did give me a delivery date. I told them to cancel the order and refund my order. They agreed and apologized for the "inconvenience". You know, for a 7 and 2 year old who were excited about their annual Valentine's chocolate "inconvenience" does not describe it. I accepted my refund, disconnected the call and went to GOLDBelly and ordered the chocolate covered strawberries. Will be delivered on Tuesday. What a mess. Since they were bought out by 1800Flowers it has gone down hill. Would not advise anyone to order from them, especially if it is for someone too young to understand about lack of customer service.

Extremely Disappointed

I purchased 2 dozen chocolate covered strawberries. This was purchased for my wife to celebrate Valentine's Day. We are extremely disappointed because the majority of the berries are moldy and old. This is embarrassing.

I reached out by phone about my displeasure. They offered a 50% refund, then a 65% refund. You state on your website "100% guarantee". What you are offering me is not 100%! I then spoke with a supervisor, Gabby, who stated the best they could do is partial refund and send another shipment. I don't want another shipment. You had a chance to get a customer and you failed by sending spoiled strawberries. I want you to honor your 100% guarantee.

Placed order a week in advance of VDay paid extra to ensure VDay delivery and got a call on Vday that it would not be delivered. On the phone for 1.5hrs. and chatted. One said it would be delivered and the other said it wouldn't be. Turns out they are a bunch of liars. They said what I ordered wasn't available even though it was confirmed a week prior.

Done with this company

Done with this company and I order prob $2k worth of strawberries a year. Gone down hill so bad over the last few years. This year they botched up multiple deliveries of mine and no it wasn’t the delivery companies fault. Just a shame how they’ve ruined this company.
