I ordered a flower bouquet with vase on 13th Feb 2023 from Bloomex, order #******* for $65.72. I paid $24.98 for delivery plus extra $1.99 for it to be delivered on 14 Feb. My order was not delivered on Feb ************************************************* that it would be delivered on Feb 15. It wasnt delivered on Feb ********************************************************* but they refused that they cannot do anything right now I will just have to wait for the delivery.I wanted to gift the flowers on Valentines Day, delivering it 2,3 days later it not what I wanted. If I wanted it delivered later I would have chosen another delivery date with lesser charge.Why did they accept the order if they cant fulfill it. Also not even canceling my order to refund me.Business Response

Purchase was made online on February 7, 2023. The order number is *******. Details of the advertised offer are per ******** document titled "Purchase - Extract from website". Flowers that were received were broken, petals falling, greenery turning brown, flowers were tied with a zip tie, three broken heads and no card as advertised. Several attempts to contact the company have failed. They confirm that they have received the emails with ******** photos and that someone will call back and then when I follow-up, they say they have not received the email. They refuse to put me through to anyone that is able to resolve and they keep giving conflicting information.

I am rejecting this response because:I read bloomex policy , it states if there is a change it should be within the hour , I placed order and called 5 minutes later when I noticed address issue . I am aware valentine *** is a very busy time , there was no help what so ever with adding the correct address. Beyond that I had paid the extra for EXPRESS delivery times 9am-12 noon the next day, when my flowers did not arrive by 12 I tried to live chat and I was flat out ignored. I have screen shot to show this. I had to leave for work by 1pm so it is now 9:35 at night Valentines *** , I finish work at 11 pm , my daughter did NOT get flowers today as I was unable to deliver myself due to ridged staff. She had a heartbreaking break up a day ago so I can not put into words how gutted I feel!

I ordered flowers on February 9th, 2023 and it is now February 13th and still the flowers have not been delivered. I have called customer service, and used their live chat asking for a full refund. They will not issue me a full refund and this was a very expensive bouquet. I also asked to speak with a supervisor when I called, but the customer service agent refused. I can provide my order number if required. Terrible service as this company is happy to take your money and run!Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:a 20 store credit is not sufficient. I would like a credit to my credit card. The order still has not been delivered - it is now 5 days late beyond the order date. I could understand a day or two late, however 5 days it totally unacceptable. The delivery area is not the customers problem and if this was an issue I should have been notified that the order would be 5 days behind what was promised. I should have been told this at the time of delivery.
I would like my credit card credited 50% of what the total amount was.

Now since Feb 7 and 8 I have been calling them to place order and use my store credit no one is ready to help but keep on transferring call from customer service to ******* have called 8 times until now. No one has clue of my store credit. Their store credit email indicates I have to input my email address into coupon field. When I do that it doesnt work.

I ordered flowers for my sister on February 2nd, 2023. Delivery was between 9-5. I am living in ***************** so I used Bloomex as they do ******* delivery. I ordered a Hydrangea in a ***** jar, not that hard to put together. After 5 pm the flowers had not be delivered. I called customer service, and was told they would try call the driver. There was no response from the driver, and was promised delivery the next morning, first thing. Next morning, there are no flowers. I chatted with **** on line chat and she put an open investigation into the flowers. She said a manager would contact me when there is more information. Then I get an email saying my status is updated, and the driver had been to my sisters house, no one was home and it was unsafe to leave the flowers. They claim the driver had called my sister and she did not respond. My brother in law works from home and was expecting the flowers and no one came to the house and no one called my sister. I contacted live chat and wanted a refund and they told me that ********* have delivered the flowers and I must double check with my sister that its been delivered. They gave me a tracking number and said any more questions ! They gave me a ********* tracking number, which doesnt work. No flowers have ever been delivered. I want my $46.66 dollars back. There has been no updates to my account of flowers delivered. And I also told them that my mom was in hospital and the flowers were for my sister for helping our mom and they still never sent the flowers. I enabled the delivery tracking and never got a confirmation of delivery. I got one text from them saying order confirmed .No updates since then. I have sent an email to customer care with all the copies I saved from different chats. I never received any explanation of what happened to the flowers.Business Response

Hi I ordered flowers for bereavement the day before on Saturday January 21 for 2 oclock on Sunday, January 22 I was told by the lady no worries we can have it ready for 2 oclock. There is a flower factory close by so I ordered the flowers and paid in full today. I got an email saying that the flowers will not get there in time that they will only be there for the second visitation at 6 PM, I am very upset as I called back and there is no manager to speak to, and I am not compensated for this mistake. I tried to cancel the order and there is no option to cancel as well. I am extremely upset as I was lied to, and you cant cancel an order that you made a mistake on would like a full refund. But I still want the flowers to be delivered because now its too late to find a florist to send to the funeral home.Business Response

I paid $53.09 for flowers to be delivered December 31st. I received multiple notifications that they couldnt find a local supplier so it would be delayed to January 4th.
