The Good

  • Grow their fruit
  • Free shipping options
  • Great satisfaction guarantee
We liked that Harry and David grow the fruit that they include in their gift baskets. They also have a special emphasis in being a green business. Over 90 acres of their pear growing operations are Royal Riviera certified pear orchards. We also like the fact that many of their gift baskets have free shipping options. Another exciting aspect of Harry and David's product and services is their "strongest guarantee in the industry." Harry and David guarantees that gift recipients will be delighted or the appropriate refund or substitution will be made. Sometimes, weather factors may make it necessary for a substitute to be made, and Harry and David provide a fruit-growing calendar to help customers make the best gift basket selection. We also liked the fact that Harry and David was one of the companies reviewed that lets customers make payments via PayPal.

The Bad

  • Not customizable
  • Wine shipments may have issues
We found that Harry and David had some great products and services, but they all include food options. There are also not a lot of options for customizing a gift for a person. Even though there are flower and bouquets available, customers cannot other gifts. Also, we found that, depending upon the region; it may be difficult to ship wine and spirits due to liquor laws.

The Bottom Line

We would recommend Harry and David for food and flower gifts. We found that their customer satisfaction was formidable and that there were a lot of options to choose from, including cakes, flowers, wreaths, and other things that are grown on Harry and David's orchards and farms. We do, however, emphasize, that the gift baskets available only include food and items grown by Harry and David.

Harry & David have been a complete waste of my time. I wanted to share this to prevent them from wasting your time. I placed an order on Jan 8, 2022, for a Valentine's Day wreath and received an email confirming I would receive my order by Jan 20, 2022. On Jan 18, 2022, I received an email stating the wreath was no longer available and that I needed to call in order to choose a different item. Note: on Jan 18, I checked their website and the wreath was still available for sale Once they figured it out (10days later) why didn't they simply refund my money? instead of wasting my time and forcing me to call in order to "choose a different item"? Since they left me no choice but to call, I called them on Jan 18th and was told that the email I received was incorrect and that the item was not sold out and would arrive by Feb 2nd. I was confused by this and explained the email I had received, but the representative confirmed again that there were NO issues with inventory and that my order would arrive by Feb 2, 2022 On Jan 26, I received an email stating that they are "unable to process my order because they needed additional information" and that I needed to call or they would cancel my order. I called and was told my order was sold out and I needed to choose a different item Why waste my time like this? BTW, this item still shows that it is available on their website as of today Jan 26 The item is the Elegant Heart Wreath. I am sorry to say, but this company is incompetent and I will not be doing business with them again.

Ordered a specific meat and cheese basket for a Christmas delivery. Item was available and order approved with a note about possible slower shipping times. Was then supposed to be delivered 12/27, then 12/29. On 12/29, tracking information became unavailable. I called Harry and David on 12/30, who asked if I had received an email to call them. I had not, although I received plenty of requests to buy more product from them. I was told that the item was out of stock and would be available in February. I asked why the item had been oversold and did not get any answer. I was asked if I wanted my Christmas item delivered then. No! Horrible customer service and follow through from the company.

I’ve used Harry Davis for many many years. But I’m done now because the quality has really slipped. This Christmas, 2021, the prices of everything were much higher than ever before. Hi purchase to guess for a total of $160, and after shipping it cost $226! Standard ground. I know this is a scam because when I called to complain they were happy to say that today and today only we can give you half price shipping! I sent two packages, both to senior citizens, one 80 and one 90, both of whom look forward to their pairs all year long. Both received boxes of rotten mushy pairs one week after I place my order. When I called to complain a customer service agent working at what sounded to me like a call center in the Philippines perfunctorily refunded my money and said have a nice day. That’s it — no effort to make it right, no effort to explain, or to win back the loyalty of a customer. This business is now owned by one800flowers.com and it’s too big for its own good. It’s really sad to see a cherished American business turn into this.

DO NOT TRUST THEM TO ORDER FROM THEM Ordered MY sister's Christmas present Mid OCTOBER - just received an email- 1 WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS that they are out - What the heck! Thanks for ruining Christmas! No words to say how much I hate your company! Oh, I also appreciate the fact you fulfilled orders placed after mine because I chose not to have it delivered in October. OH, I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOW MISSED ALL SHIPPING OPTIONS FOR HER PRESENT TO BE THERE BY CHRISTMAS AND I FACT THAT I NOW HAVE TO BUY A SLOPPY SECOND SINCE ALL OF THE REALLY NICE STUFF IS SOLD OUT! DON'T EVER ORDER FROM THEM!

Looks like my experience is about the same as others. Ordered 2 boxes of Cinnabons on 12/6 and website stated "items are available to ship now". Paid $23 for overnight shipping. Order status stated delivery would be 12/8. Items never arrived on 12/8 and Fedex tracking stated only that the label had been created. Never received any update on order status or communication that delivery would be late. Contacted support on 12/9 and spoke to rep, only was told that items were "in transit". On 12/10 contacted support again since items still had not arrived and Fedex status had not changed. After being on hold for an hour was told again by rep that items were "in transit". Asked to speak to a supervisor, on hold again for 15 minutes. Supervisor finally joined call and could only apologize for the delay. Could not give me any status on the order or expected delivery date, only stated that order was missing the internal tracking number and that it was "probably" in transit and "should" arrive in a couple of days. This was an outright lie. Supervisor would not enter a new order at no charge to replace the existing order to ensure that I would receive the items the next day. Terrible way to address a customer issue. Demanded refund and was told it would be processed. Refund not processed.

I ordered a Christmas Cactus back in November which showed a delivery date by December 1st. I assumed it was delivered but hadn't checked to make sure. On December 11th, I was informed that a gardenia was going to be delivered but was late. I immediately responded that I had ordered a Christmas Cactus and they responded that a gardenia had to be substituted. The gardenias were half the price that I paid. I asked for a refund and was told no. I wish I would have seen all these bad reviews before I ordered from them. I will never buy another thing from Harry and David and will post this on everything I can so others are aware.

On their website they had a deal for buy one gift basket get another basket for 50%off. Since I had six baskets I need to order for my friends and family I was extremely ecstatic about this deal. A way I can order baskets for my loved ones yet not spend an arm and a leg doing it! I called customer service and Spoke to the order agent who told me that he couldn't answer any questions about on going deals and that I would need to speak to a customer service agent . I then said to him I'm planning on ordering 6 baskets today but wanted to see if you had this promotion. He proceeded to tell me yes you would need to speak to a customer service rep and that he could only place the order so I was already confused as to why he couldn't answer my question or help me place my order. He then connected me to customer service where I waited on hold for 30 minutes. I figured it was the holidays and they were extremely busy to go ahead and take advantage of their system that if you leave your phone number they will call you back in the order your call was received. I left my information and never heard anything back from them that day. The next day I called in again and spoke to someone from customer service. I tried to order my six baskets and was told that that promotion I had seen on line was not available and never was available. They weren't helpful at all and now that promotion has disappeared they would not honor it. If I knew this was going to happen I would have just ordered my 6 baskets online. I felt it would be easier to speak to an agent since my orders would be traveling all over the united states. I am very disappointed by the lack of service I received and am going to take my business elsewhere. To have a business not return your phone call, not be able to take advantage of a great deal around the holidays that would have saved me money is very disheartening. To top it off the customer service agent said they didn't know what I was talking about and that they never had this promotion available ever made me feel like they thought I was trying to deceive their company or take advantage of them. I've never ordered from Harry and David and based off of this experience I probably won't ever again.

I ordered a full thanksgiving meal from harry & david online this year. I've never done this before but my family has been under a lot of stress lately with family illness and I needed to not have the stress of preparing all that food. The order said it would be delivered by Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I kept checking the mailroom all day. At 5:00 I began to worry. I started to call and was on interminable holds - gave number for callback. Finally got calls back at 6:30. They said it would be there by 8. It did not show. I called again. They said it would absolutely, guaranteed, be there by 11pm. It did not show. I called again and was told it would be there sometime in the next 24 hours... but since my meal was planned for noon on Thanksgiving Day, this would absolutely not work if it would not be there by my meal time. I asked to speak to various supervisors, but they were not helpful, saying I would have to cancel the food to get a refund at that point, rather than saying they would compensate me regardless of when it was delivered. They have no tracking system - just saying it was going out by FEDEX but not having a tracking number... I called again at 11:30p after texting friends and family about what food alternatives (Pizza?, Pho?) we would order instead since those are the only restaurants open on Thanksgiving. I decided we had to cancel the order and just have a different kind of cuisine this year. No issues. But the man on the phone would not cancel my order until the clock strikes midnight on the day of Thanksgiving.... Then I spoke to another supervisor person. This man tried to tell me how wonderful this 87 year old company is and that I should have used the phone to place the order instead of the website... but they put the guaranteed delivery date of Wednesday on the website. He told me not to adopt a 'millenial, i'm entitled attitude'.....I am much older than that... but am a female and old enough to know when a man is being a jerk to a woman - because she is a woman. I don't know what kind of training or lack their of that the staff have there, and I don't know who it is that has designed their logistics systems... it is a very bad system.... and sort of pathetic. Clearly this company that is 87 years old is unable to move with the times on any level. Maybe they should hire an actual millenial in place of the last supervisor I spoke to who an actually make their website and their logistics work? And probably, she would not have let a customer spend 7 hours on such madness.

I purchased a Christmas dinner on 12/14/2020. The web site said in stock and deliverable before Christmas. On 12/20/2020, I checked the web site on my order. It said “Confirmed” and would be delivered by FedEx on “12/24/2020”. I got a call from Harry and David on 12/23/2020 saying some items were not available. The agent then tried to make a package for me but the vegetables were not available. The meat was available. Her computer then locked up. After 40 minutes, she had to hang up. Then another agent called me to tell me my order could not be processed anyway because FedEx had already picked up the last Christmas shipments but I could have “something” shipped after Christmas. This left my son with no Christmas dinner. Do not do business with Harry and David. A bad company.

It's crazy to see just how many other people are dealing with my same issues with this company. I highly suggest anyone who is planning to shop here READ the reviews first. I ordered "thank you" packages for other people almost two months ago. After three weeks, I checked the tracking and saw they still weren't shipped. This worried me so I reached out to the customer service team who then advised me there was a delay with my package so they would refund my shipping fee as well as have the packages shipped as soon as possible. Another week went by and I still hadn't received my refund nor were there any changes with my tracking status. A few days later, and to my surprise I received an additional charge from Harry & David on my account for the same order I paid for a month earlier. Again, I was very concerned so I reached back out to customer service who told me this was an Executive issue and they would have to transfer me. After waiting for almost an hour, I finally spoke with someone from the "exec" team; they told me they would look into this issue and give me a call. Here it is another few weeks later and I still have not heard anything from anyone at this company. I have made several calls back to the customer service team, but I am still getting the same runaround. It is absolutely ridiculous. I have asked several times for my full refunds as well as them to delete my full card information from their system so I won't be charged anymore. I am seconds away from filing a civil suit, but honestly I don't even know if it would be worth the money. To ANYONE who will listen, I urge you not to order from this company. The customer service is utterly useless and it seems once they have your card information, they're likely to do whatever they please with it, even without authorization from the user. This experience has deterred me from online shopping. I am so hesitant and afraid of companies having access to my personal banking account. And what makes it even worse is that the people who I ordered the gifts for, never received them :-(

Placed an order, had to change the "confirmed" order 3 times as their website is not good and it still doesn't take the change. Call their customer service people and the lady said, "oh I had the same problem and had to come into the office to change my order". Now trying to track the shipment and for two days the order has been processed and is somewhere on a Harry and David truck being driven from Oregon to Kansas City to be given to Fed-Ex in KS for delivery to the final location....REALLY??? How is it I can find out within 30 seconds when my pizza will be delivered, but they cannot even tell me where my order is???!!! The customer service person was very nice, but next time I'm going to order my fruit from Amazon and have it delivered in two days or less, on time to the Birthday recipient and without the frustration of dealing with a company that doesn't even know what the meaning of supply chain is. No stinkin apple or pear is worth this level of time and frustration!

Worst company ever. Ordered a new baby basked. Three weeks later they let me know it wasn't available and I had to call to order something else. I did. Three weeks later I get an email saying I need to call to give them my credit card over again because it can't carry over from the first order. I did. Then I started getting daily emails telling me to call them with the same problem. Each time I called they said "oh, yeah, I see it's here, I will be sure your order goes out." Two days later same thing. Then same thing again. Six times. Finally asked for a refund. The baby would be going to college by the time they got the order correct. It was seriously bordering on harassment and always had to be a phone call, no option for an email.

Ordered a basket for My Mother for Mother’s Day. They got the address mixed up. Once realized I called back and straightened it out so my mother would receive the order. Must say the guy helping me was a bit challenged ... it took him the better part if 30 minutes to do this. So I thought we had straightened it out. A week later still no basket delivery . I called them back to find out They had reimbursed me and sent nothing. I asked the friendly gal what she could do for me $$ wise (even on shipping maybe) given the mix up. Without skipping a beat - She said she could do nothing. They have lost a customer for life.... and I have been with them for 15-20 years. Poor customer experience all the way around.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I spoke with their supervisor who was blatantly talking down to me when I asked if he could help me with a gift card and to also apply the free shipping their website was advertising. He clearly didn't want to help me and said, "you can only use the gift card and not get free shipping" I asked him, why that is and his response was" I'm sorry I can't do that" His tone of voice from the very start was clearly telling me, I hate my job and I don't want to help you. He was so rude. I asked over and over again, that his assistance would be greatly appreciated, but still he was unwilling to help. To the higher ups- you should really think about retraining your employees. Customer care should be#1 PERIOD! YOU LOST A CUSTOMER! IVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR A LOONG TIME.

I ordered a specific bottle of wine to go along with a gift basket for a senior member of a company that they specifically liked. I received an email confirmation for the gift basket and the wine I selected. The next day I went in to check on the status of the order and noticed two bottles of different types of wine were listed with the gift basket. At NO time was I contacted and asked if a substitution could be made. Specifically know that they Senior member we are shipping to does not like the types of wine that were substituted and was told that nothing could be done they were out of the wine that I had selected from their website and had received an email confirmation on that I was charged for. Customer Service was of not use did not offer any retribution or consideration other than to cancel the order. I will NOT be using Harry & David again. They just burnt the bridge.

So incredibly frustrated with customer service. Asked the same question four times and finally asked to speak with a manager and could not be connected...they were on a break, a phone call, etc. Perhaps this was the case because so many people were asking to speak with them instead of the "customer service" representative. Also, the employees were unable to provide an employee ID number. I called three times simply to find out the status of my order and the representative could not understand or answer my questions. Before calling, I tried to acquire the information through my account, I was provided with a phone number...877-322-1200. If you are going to provide a customer service contact number, it would be a much better experience if there was actually customer service. I have ordered H&D for years but will not in the future. There are many other companies out there that offer holiday gift baskets. Sorry that I had to leave a bad review.

This review isn't about the product, it's about service, which is AWFUL. I placed a corporate order and ended up for over 10 hrs on the phone with multiple customer service reps. The issue was simple, the greeting message too long, so I tried to update it. Every time I spoke with the rep, they would advise that it has been fixed, I would receive the confirmation email, which would show only few updated messages. Others, would have message cut of in the middle, or just partially updated. It was a complete nightmare trying to resolve this. There are plenty other companies, that take care of their customers, this was the most frustrating and time wasting experience. I am shocked.

I ordered from this company around 10Dec and was told that the Honeybells Orange shipment was to be sent in early Jan. around the 10Jan, I checked on the order ( by calling) to find out there was a delay for 28Jan (Nice of them to notify me before). At that time customer service assured me that it would be sent on time. Well lo and behold it is 01Feb and again no message from the company. Again I had to check up and call only for the customer service to tell me that it was delayed and they don't know when. I then wrote an email asking what happened and at that point they tell me that it is delayed until March. I guess it's Buyer Beware nowadays. What happened to good customer service and contracts no broken?

The Vegetable Lasagna that I received as part of a Gift Basket from Harry & David was inedible. It consisted of tough chunks of raw eggplant and a few noodles in a watery tomato sauce topped with a salty white layer similar to spray foam. No real cheese. All this at the "discounted" price of $49.95! This was the worst prepared food anyone in my family had ever had.

Been using their service for many years, never again. Placed over $600 in orders for Christmas, had two small problems and spent over five hours trying to contact their customer service department. When I finally got someone on the phone I was disconnected, then again and again. So, tried chat, unless and got disconnected again. OK, sent emails, also useless, they couldn't find all my orders even after I gave them the order numbers and my customer number. Bottom line, Harry and Dave now sucks, totally. Merry Christmas!

I received a tower of boxes containing mixed nuts. When we opened the "premium Nuts", we were surprised to see what looked like the remnants of premium nuts. They were small and broken into little pieces. If I purchased this myself I would return it. As it was a gift and it's the thought that counts, I will just throw them away. However, I would never purchase this companies product for someone after seeing what it looks like.

I have been ordering from H&D for years and am becoming more and more disappointed. I ordered peaches, they came to my door rotten and covered w/mold. H&D was gracious enough to replace w/a basket of apples for me. I recently ordered 2 boxes of Riviera pears, they were so small and 3/4 of them were covered w/black spots. I took the time to peel a couple of them to try and they were totally tasteless. I am VERY, VERY disappointed!!!

I received a Harry and David gift basket for Christmas. It was not good. The nuts and candy were stall which I threw out. The pears , except one wrapped in tissue ,were covered with dark spots. I felt bad for the person who spent money for a gift for me and my family. Since the company has many positive reviews I felt that somewhere in their system was not working well so I contacted the company by Email. They respond saying that they would send me three pears. No apology. No pears were ever received. They obviously have weak link in their system and they don't plan on changing.

I have used Harry & David for many Christmases to mail lovely and appreciated fruits, moose munch, etc. This year, I ordered very early in the month, wanting a 12/14 delivery. I entered all the info and received confirmation via email. Now, 12/30, I received a email telling me that the gift was returned. It had been mailed to a old address (about 3 years prior). Then, they sent it again to that same address when it was clearly incorrect. They were polite and easy to ask for a refund. Sorry to say I will not be using them again.

White mold growing on over-ripened pears are not something I'd expect from H & D. They wouldn't replace them since I didn't have an order # due to the fact that it was a gift. I asked them to donate my bad pear replacement to their local food bank. Won't shop there anymore...not because of the moldy pears, but because of the way they handled the problem.

I wouldn't purchase anything from Harry&David unless you expect to get scammed. If there was an option for zero stars, that would be my rating.

Order was placed 2 weeks before Christmas with a guaranteed delivery date of December 24 and never showed up. Harry and David showed no remorse or offered any consideration or compensation. I will not use them again for any order because of this.

Order flowers and paid extra to be delivered the day before Thanksgiving. They did not arrive the day before Thanksgiving. It is now 3 days after Thanksgiving and still have not received the Flowers. Will never order through Harry and David again

They ruined Thanksgiving - I placed the order Oct. 10th and was even assured this afternoon that the order would arrive. FedEx has NO record of tracking number, and order never arrived. Waited over 20 minutes on phone for Harry and David customer service and before even taking my order number, she hung up on me.

I have ordered from Harry and David in the past and been berry satisfied. Two years ago I ordered a box of pears that arrived with many bruises and blemishes but nothing is perfect every time. I ordered again this year. I received a family size box of tiny pears with bruises and blemishes. I will not be ordering from Harry and David again.

5 .....count them 5 calls to customer service because was charged for shipping and was not supposed to. I finally gave up. 2 1/2 hours out of my life plus shipping I will never get back. And fruit has not arrived yet. Based on other review, I should not expect much there either

placed an order, they had a "system issue". did not tell me until the day it was supposed to be delivered and i had to call they to inquire as to why i had no tracking/shipping info. Crappy customer service. won't do business with any companies associated with H and D again.

I purchased a sympathy basket for my cousin who lost her child and it never arrived. They had no idea what happened, just said they could send out another one (the memorial had already occurred) or give me a refund. They were cavalier and not at all concerned with what had happened.

Very disappointed. Ordered a pear and cheese basket as a gift and when it arrived the pears were bruised AND MOLDY. The cheese was melted. Spoke to customer service who wouldn’t even give me a discount on my order. They offered me a 20% discount if I would like to make a different order. Why would I make another order of moldy fruit!?

Talked to a sales rep who was hard to understand. She said she was from the Phillipines! Messed up my order and was put on hold forever. They said my order was no longer available after plscing the order a week ago. I canceled my order!

Spam, spam, spam and more spam. After ordering a gift basket and selecting the option not to receive additional marketing from them, I am getting spammed to death. 53 spam emails in less then 20 days. Wow. Hey, guess what Harry & David. You have lost a customer for life. Never again will one of my dollars touch your bank account. Job well done.

DO NOT order from Harry and David, or one 800 flowers, or simply chocolates. Their customer service is absolutely the worst. And if you ask for a supervisor you’re on hold forever.

My order was not delivered as promised. They said that FedEx was having delivery delays, and that they would do nothing to help my situation. Will not use Harry and David ever again.

Delivery and customer service issues - delivery of a gift basket was not made on time and calls to customer service were unhelpful, with the first rep directing me to call FedEx myself to track the package.

They lost my order. It had multiple recipients. Their AI system is not user friendly. Their response time is < 1 hour. Don't patronize is mt advice.
