CBS2 Investigates TerrysFlorist.com: ‘Of Course I Didn’t Get Any Refund’ - CBS New York

Terry’s lawyer says the Erturks sold the Terry’s domain and website to Anthony Picco before it began operations in 2019. Picco’s LinkedIn page says he is CEO of ArcoMediaGroup in Asbury Park.Terry’s is a registered business with a mail drop address in Nevada. Still, when Rozner called customer service, Rozner was told it was located at 75 West Front Street in Red Bank.When Rozner asked what suite number it would be, she was put on hold, and then hung up on.The building owner said there was no Terry’s ever there, and so did the management office at 1 Harding Road in Red Bank, where Google maps pins the company.Rozner also contacted officials in Red Bank, and they did not have any records of the company.Now receiving dozens of complaints weekly is Terry McPherson who owns similar-sounding Terry’s Florals in Lake Butler, Florida.“It’s very time-consuming and it’s very hurtful to a small business,” McPherson said. “You’re like, ‘What did I do?’ And then it’s not even my shop.”Consumer credit expert Paul Oster points out Terry’s doesn’t list a physical address under its “Contact Us” link – a common red flag.“SEO optimization has made it very easy for companies to appear that they’re local,” said Paul Oster, president of Better Qualified. “Call the business and tell them you want to stop by.”And when ordering flowers, he says make sure the vendor guarantees no substitutions. He says get orders in writing because emails are admissible in the court of law.Terry’s says it’s “committed to perfecting the customer experience” and “has hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers.”MORE NEWS: 1 Injured In Manhole Fire In Midtown; FDNY, Utility Crews On SceneThe New Jersey Attorney General’s office says it has received eight complaints against Terry’s. Mastercard says it has raised concerns with the merchant’s bank. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/02/12/cbs2-investigates-terrysflorist-com-of-course-i-didnt-get-any-refund/

I learned through the casinos into my own business?'" Since then, A Blossom Shop Florist has earned several accolades from floral organizations and the Asbury Park Press. They will celebrate their 45th anniversary in several ways. A Blossom Shop Florist kicked off the celebration with a contest: guess the cost of the banner in their Jan. 10 post. The closest guesser by Jan. 24 will win one dozen roses arranged in a vase. The florist will also hold a summer event offering 45-cent roses, as they have on past anniversaries. A Blossom Shop Florist will also once again run the "Pedal it Forward" program. Anyone who donates a nonperishable food item during that time will receive a free flower bouquet. A local food bank will receive the donation. Forty-five years in, Cofka still values the relationships the shop has built with customers. "We recognize a lot of our customers," she said. "We have some customers that come in every week for flowers. But it's really about the relationships that have been built year after year."
