  I placed an order for delivery of flowers on May **** to be delivered on May **** (********). During order placement, there was a notifications that delivery may take up to May ****. I accepted the delay. When the flowers did not arrive by May **** EOD, I called Bloomex requesting to cancel the order as the recipient had already left the delivery address. I was advised that order was in packaging and could not be stopped. The agent promised me someone would call back and follow up with me about about a possible refund or store credit. Despite the advice that order was on its way, it did not arrive until late on May **** (* days later than requested and * days later than delayed notice). The intended recipient did not get the flowers and I had to ask the neighbour to pick it up at door step. Another issue is the bouquet was nowhere near what I had ordered. Not comparable in size and entirely different colour scheme and flower selection. After seeing what was delivered, I reached out to Bloomex via chat, uploaded the photos and asked for a resolution. The chat live agent asked me to email the photos and wait for a response. I emailed the same information to Bloomex customer care on May **** requesting a refund as the company failed to deliver the service and product they promised. None of my emails, calls or chats were addressed to day (May 30th). I am requesting a full refund due to unacceptable conduct of this organization.

  We regret to hear that the services didn't meet customer's expectations.
  Please note that the customer's order experienced a delay due to an unforeseen surge in volume related to the Mother's Day holiday rush. We are unable to process cancellations for any order that has already been prepared, or is already out with the courier for delivery. As per the photo received we would like to confirm the order was sent with substitution. Due to our order volume fluctuation, we reserve the right to substitute with similar products of equal or greater value. The following rules for substitution will apply:
  Flowers: In arrangements of assorted flowers, the colours shown online will be used if at all possible, even if this means substituting other kinds of flowers of equal or greater value.
  Wed be happy to offer a replacement order at no additional cost. Alternatively, we can send a gift basket of equal value or provide a store credit that can be used at any time in the future.
  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

  I purchased a bouquet for my mother for mother's day using Bloomex ******. First once the purchase went through, I received an email stating that they tried to call me to discuss a problem with the delivery. When they emailed me , they stated that they could not deliver on Mother's day and that it would be delivered on the following Tuesday and with a complementary UPGRADE for my troubles. I immediately responded to their email , stating that first no one called me , I did not even have a missed call on my cell. And that secondly, since they could not commit to delivering on Mother's day , that I wanted to cancel my order. No one ever got back to me. They still went ahead and delivered flowers on Tuesday. The flowers were delivered during the evening/night time. No one knocked and they were just on the ground. The biggest issues was the flowers my mother got. I paid for the DELUXE version of the Vintage bloom bouquet. BEAUTIFUL bouquet that I paid extra for. There was supposed to be an UPGRADE on this due to late delivery. My mother received a bouquet of CARNATIONS. * of them to be exact and most of them loosing their petals! Not only did she not receive what I paid for but she instead of even getting an upgrade she got a very big DOWNGRADE! When I emailed them to discuss this issue, they stated this: Dear *******, We appreciate your business with us. In accordance with our policy, we will not be able to issue a refund for an order that was confirmed, prepared, and sent out for delivery. As we wish to preserve your valuable business, we will be pleased to offer you an in-store credit on the website for future use..". I responded letting them know that the order that has been "processed" was NOT my order. And I was not ok with a credit , obviously I want to stay away from this company. This is OUTRAGIOUS! and now reading all other issues. I am appalled! And now they are no longer responding to my emails!

  I am rejecting this response because: I wanted to cancel prior to the order going out. And I understand substitution. But this was an entire downgrade AND I never got the complentary upgrade that was mentioned in the apology email. That i responded to right away requesting a cancelation BEFORE anything got sent out (4 days before to be exact). This is not acceptable.

  The customer had a negative experience and is requesting a refund, indicating they no longer wish to engage with the business. However, we are working to turn this situation around by resolving their concerns and ensuring the experience is positive. Our goal is not only to address the immediate issue but to maintain and even strengthen the customers relationship with the business going forward.
  We understand concerns regarding the substitutions and the arrangements customer's received. As per our policy, substitutions may occur due to availability, and while every effort is made to maintain the integrity of the design, some variations are sometimes unavoidable.

  Replacement order or a store credit offer still stands.
  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  I am rejecting this response because: 

  Again, Bloomex mentions that due to policy they are entitled to change the order if the flowers are not available at same value. Well , I would want an explanation of how they can justify carnations over roses as an upgrade and justify selling me these at the same price. And I am going to mention AGAIN..... I was to get an COMPLEMENTARY UPGRADE which I never got and still got charged the same price.  I am not ok with this, and I do not want a store credit I  will not be ordering there again.  I need a refund for at least a portion of it as I did not get near what I paid for.

  I placed an order through ********** for flower delivery to ***********, **. After placing the order, I was contacted by Bloomex (the third-party fulfilling florist) and informed that delivery would be delayed by four days due to courier restrictions.This delay was not disclosed at the time of purchase. The flowers were for a specific occasion, and the delay made the order useless.They claimed they attempted to call me, but I received no missed calls, voicemails, or any other attempt to reach me before delaying the order.I contacted Bloomex, who said they would upgrade the order, but did not offer a refund or acceptable resolution. I have not heard back from ********** either.I am requesting a full refund due to the unacceptable delay and lack of transparency about delivery limitations.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  No phone call or voicemail was received. I did not receive any missed calls or messages regarding the delay. The only communication I received was a single email after the order was placed, stating that delivery would be delayed due to courier limitations.

  Delivery was never completed to the recipients address. The flowers were shipped using Purolator and ultimately marked as ready for pickup rather than being delivered to the recipient. I paid specifically for a delivery service. Changing this to pickupwithout prior approvalmeans the order was not fulfilled as promised.

  The delay made the order irrelevant. This was a time-sensitive gift meant for May **. A four-day delay (to May **) was never disclosed before purchase and made the order pointless for the occasion.

  I do not accept store credit. Bloomex failed to fulfill the original service. After I expressed dissatisfaction, they offered a store creditbut in a follow-up email, they detailed numerous limitations: it can only be used once, does not cover taxes or delivery, cannot be combined with discounts, and only applies to weekday deliveries with ** hours notice. This is not a reasonable or equivalent alternative to a refund.
  
  I am requesting a full refund to my original payment method.
  
  
  Sincerely,

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The order was not delivered to the recipients door as advertised. It was dropped at a Purolator pickup location, requiring the recipient to go out of her way to retrieve it. This defeats the purpose of a flower delivery service, especially when no one notified me in advance that this would be the method of delivery.

  The recipient is grieving a recent loss. These flowers were meant to offer comfortnot add stress or create another task for her. This was a time-sensitive and emotionally sensitive order that was handled poorly.

  Bloomex claims they disclosed the delivery issue, but this only happened after I paid. There was no warning during checkout that the address was outside their local zone, and I wasnt given a chance to cancel. Instead, I was told the delivery would be delayed and done by courier, which is not what I paid for.

  Their proposed solution of a store credit is unacceptable. Bloomexs own email outlines excessive restrictions: the credit is single-use, doesnt cover taxes or delivery, cant be used with discounts, and is only valid for weekday deliveries with 24 hours notice. This is not a fair or practical replacement for a failed orderits a way to force me into spending more money with a company that already let me down.
  
  I am requesting a full refund to my original method of payment. That is the only appropriate resolution for an order that was not delivered as promised and handled so poorly during a vulnerable time.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  *** *******

  taxes and delivery. Store credits cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon. Store credit orders are only valid between Tuesday-Friday delivery when ordered one day in

  On Friday May *** I placed an order with Bloomex online to send flowers to my Mother for mothers day. I live in *********** and my Mom lives in *************. They said that the delivery date of Saturday was open so that is what I chose. They contacted me an hour or so after placing the order that they could not deliver on Saturday and would have to deliver on Tuesday (after Mother's Day) instead but I would get an "upgrade" as compensation. When the flowers arrived my Mom called me to thank me but when I asked her what the flowers looked like I could tell from her voice that they weren't very nice and what she was describing was not what I had ordered. I asked her to send me a picture she took immediately after they were delivered and when she was able to figure out how to do that with the help of her care worker I immediately sent off a complaint. The flowers were not what I ordered and looked like they had been clumped together from remnants from the floor of the shop. I sent pictures and a request that the correct flowers actually be delivered to my mother to ******************************** and have not received a response. When I tried to find another way to contact them I found their Instagram page where they delete all of the comments complaining about the quality of what they are sending out. It was then I decided to contact the BBB to try to get help as I feel like they will continue to ignore me. I have attached a picture of what I ordered and what my mother received.

  We take quality issues very seriously and seek to provide fresh and beautiful flowers at all times and for all orders. The initial complaint received stated different flowers were delivered and our customer service agent requested customer to send us photos to the email address. As customer's satisfaction is our top priority, we would like to offer a replacement order free of charge. However, chosen product named Mother's Day Designers Collection I has a item description that explains the variety of other flowers used. "* Note: Actual bouquet will vary from photo (colour and composition)." Alternatively, we could send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that the customer can use at any time in the future. We will wait for the chosen option from a client to proceed with the resolution.
  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  I am rejecting this response because they did not provide a picture of the replacement bouquet they say they will be sending. I will accept a replacement if it is a quality arrangement, but if they are going to send another batch of half dead daisies and carnations then the answer is no. My mother deserves a beautiful bouquet. If they can show me a picture of what will be sent and it isn't left over filler flowers then a replacement bouquet is acceptable.

  I am rejecting this response because you can not provide a picture of what would be sent as a replacement and I can not trust you will send anything other than the horrible quality of flowers that was sent the first time. I was charged over ***** and would at this time request a full refund. I can go to ****** and buy better quality flowers than what Bloomex provided for half that amount you charged me. I will give them to my mother in person when I see her on Friday for my Father's burial which could not be completed in the winter.

  My delivery was late. When trying to receive an update from the business, I was ignored on multiple occasions through the online chat after expressing any kind of concern/trying to receive an update. I called the business twice and was talking to a representative until I expressed that my order was late and then the line would go silent. I called a third time and when expressing my concern the representative began to ignore my questions about delivery (however this time I could hear people talking in the background as she forget to mute her microphone). Once I expressed this to her she muted the microphone, waited a minute and hung up on me. (The entire call is recorded on my phone) I sent an email a week ago regarding this with no response. My mother finally received her flowers. Half of them are dead and the free gift isnt even what it said it would be. She has emailed to inquire about some form of reimbursement for the dead flowers with no response. She also called in and was hung up on as well. This business will eagerly take your money but the minute you have any concern you are unable to get in contact with anyone.

  We completely understand the customer's dissatisfaction with how their concerns have been handled so far, and we truly regret any frustration caused. Mothers Day is the busiest time of year for any florist, and we kindly ask for your understanding during this peak period.

  After carefully reviewing our records and all relevant documentation, it appears that a cancellation was not an available option in this particular case. That said, we would like to make things right by offering a replacement order at no additional cost. Alternatively, we can send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that can be used at any time.
  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

  Purchased a flower arrangement for delivery on Mother's Day (May **, **25) on May *, **25. The website describes a wonderful bouquet that is arranged in a keepsake mug. The cost was $***** plus delivery and taxes, for a total of $*****. The description clearly states:"After the blooms, the floral mug becomes a cherished reminder of your thoughtful gift--perfect for sipping coffee or displaying fresh flowers again."To my surprise, I received a phone call on May *** thanking me for the flowers and mug. I was disappointed that they showed up two days early, but ask if she can send me a photo. The arrangement that was sent looked nothing like was pictured or described on the website. The flowers were sent with long stems in a bouquet, and the mug was bubble wrapped and attached to the flowers. The arrangement was much smaller than pictured and by the next day, flowers had started to ****.I reached out to Bloomex through online chat, and by phone, but was told I have to write an email to their customer service. I emailed on May **th describing my issue and requested a refund. They finally responded on May **** and would only offer me a $** credit for the next purchase.I responded back saying I didn't feel that was acceptable, but no one has responded back.

  Business Response

  Date: 22/05/2025

  We regret to hear that the services didnt meet customer's expectations.

  Wed like to clarify that the mug being bubble-wrapped and the bouquet arriving with long stems are standard safety and quality-control measures. These steps are taken to ensure that all items arrive intact and undamaged during transit. The long stems help preserve the freshness of the flowers during delivery, and it's a common practice for recipients to trim the stems and place the flowers in fresh water upon arrival to help them thrive.

  We are unable to issue a refund for orders that are confirmed, prepared or sent out for delivery. Emails about early delivery and substitutions being forwarded to a client's email box on May ***. Additionally, we were informed that client filed for and received a chargeback from their bank.

  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The credit I received back to my card was for an overcharge that was an error on your part. Please see the attached screenshot of the email that was sent to your customer service department. 

  This complaint is due to poor quality product thay was received. Once again, please look at the attachment with the picture and description of the item listed on your website. Then take a look at the photo attached of what was received. They look nothing alike. It is very clearly stated in the description that this whole arrangement comes displayed IN the keepsake mug. Had I known it was just going to be sent as a tied bouquet, I would have purchased the vase along with it. Furthermore, the quality of this arrangement is very poor. This was a Mother's Day gift for my mother in law and I am honestly embarrassed at what was presented to her. The flowers even began wilting * days later, even though they were put in a vase with water. 

  This was falsely advertised and I did not receive what was described. I would like to be refunded for all of the hassles I've had to deal with.

  The product received reflects the full value of the item priced at $*****. The remaining balance of the order total accounts for delivery fees and applicable taxes. As the order was confirmed, prepared, and dispatched for delivery, we are unable to process a refund. In other words, the product received matches the full value of the standard version of the Lilac & Lace Bouquet that was purchased, mug included. Attached is a photo of the bouquet prepared for this delivery, taken on May ** ****pm, right before the dispatch, when actual order arrived on May ** **** p.m.
  
  At Bloomex, customer satisfaction is our top priority. To make up for the inconvenience, we would be happy to offer a replacement order at no cost. Alternatively, we can provide a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that can be used at the customers convenience.

  I placed an order (Order #********) with Bloomex on May *, 2025, for delivery on or before Mother's Day (May **). While I accepted the small possibility of a late delivery, Bloomex failed to communicate any updates or tracking information. The order eventually arrived on May **, significantly late, and was drastically different from what was advertised.The product ordered was "** Blooms of Mother's Day Orchids," but what my mother received was only a single stem of orchids. This substitution was not communicated beforehand and is unacceptable, as it does not match the product's description or value advertised. Despite my efforts to resolve this directly through Bloomexs customer service, they have not provided any effective response or resolution.

  Please be advised that the customers order originally scheduled for delivery on May ** experienced an unforeseen delay due to the holiday rush surrounding Mothers Day. As a result, the order was delivered on May **.

  Due to our order volume fluctuation, we reserve the right to substitute with similar products of equal or greater value. The following rules for substitution will apply:

  Theres been an update to my case about a subsequent delivery. But the substitution was poor, and I wouldnt have chosen these flowers. The orchids (****** holds sentimental value and was the intended purpose) were never delivered. The delay of nearly a week after Mothers Day and the fact that I didnt receive them means the opportunity is lost. Communication was almost impossible. The only answer I received was through live chat. Live doesnt mean immediate assistance; it means theyll respond when someones available. I couldnt wait all the time. Ive wasted enough time trying to make up for it.

  Thank you for your response.

  To clarify, I placed my order on May * and paid a $***** delivery fee along with a $**** surcharge, with the understanding that it would arrive on or before Mothers Day. I fully understood and accepted that there could be a pottential delay due to the holiday, and I was prepared for that.

  What was frustrating - and continues to be disappointing  is the lack of communication and follow-through. I signed up for text updates and received none. My email was never answered, and live chat responses were inconsistent and often unavailable. At no point was I proactively informed about the delay or the substitution.

  A single stem orchid arrived on May **. The rest of the flowers were delivered later - around May ** or **. By that time, with no communication or reassurance, I had placed another order elsewhere.

  The flowers that did eventually arrive were not comparable to the ** Blooms of Mothers Day Orchids I had carefully selected for personal and sentimental reasons.

  Im not just disappointed with the experience itself, but also with how my concerns have been addressed so far. I dont feel that the emotional impact, the communication breakdown, or the context of my order has been fully acknowledged.

  While I appreciate the offer of a replacement or store credit, I dont feel those options reflect what was lost. Given the circumstances - the delay, lack of communication, emotional significance of the order, and the cost involved - I believe a full refund would be the most appropriate resolution.

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my perspective and thank you for your understanding.

  I trust this can now be resolved appropriately.
  
  Sincerely,

  We regret to hear that the services didnt meet customer's expectations.

  We completely understand the customer's dissatisfaction with how their concerns have been handled so far, and we truly regret any frustration caused. Mothers Day is the busiest time of year for any florist, and we kindly ask for your understanding during this peak period.
  After carefully reviewing our records and all relevant documentation, it appears that a cancellation was not an available option in this particular case. That said, we would like to make things right by offering a replacement order at no additional cost. Alternatively, we can send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that can be used at any time.

  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  Thank you for the response. As this is now the second time the same offer has been made, Im left feeling that the concerns Ive raised havent truly been addressed.
  Ive made every effort to communicate clearly and respectfully, and Im kindly asking that my request for a full refund be taken into consideration as a fair and reasonable resolution.

  Sincerely,

  Product was ordered May * for delivery May **, which the website indicated was available. Product did not arrive on time. When it did not, requested cancellation and refund but received no response. Product arrived May **, long after the date required. Product that arrived was also not what was ordered. Attached photos show what was ordered and what was received. Have requested refund again but received no reply. This does not appear to be a reputable company.

  We are unable to process cancellations for any order that has already been prepared, or is already out with the courier for delivery. As per the photo received we would like to confirm the order was sent with substitution. Due to our order volume fluctuation, we reserve the right to substitute with similar products of equal or greater value. The following rules for substitution will apply:
  Flowers: In arrangements of assorted flowers, the colours shown online will be used if at all possible, even if this means substituting other kinds of flowers of equal or greater value.
  As customer's satisfaction is our top priority, we would like to offer a replacement order free of charge. Alternatively, we could send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that the customer can use at any time in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
  Thank you,

  I ordered mother Day flowers on May ****, and paid extra for them to be delivered the next day, May ****. The website says that worst case scenario, they will be delivered two days late. They did not arrive.Customer service **** told me they couldn't track the order, but it would arrive by the end of the day on May ****, so they will not refund me, as they are on the way.The order still did not arrive. I called back, and they told me they would give me a refund. And that I would get a confirmation email.They never emailed me. So I called back, and they said the refund is pending, and I'll have to wait ********************************************* the refund has been issued and I have to wait three to five business days for it to get into my account. I called again, asking for the email to confirm this. Then I was told the refund hasnt been approved. I then received an automated text message stating the refund HAS been issued. Called back and they told me it wasn't. I'm starting to think this business is a scam. If you look at reviews, almost all customers have rated them one star and they either dont get their order, or what they specifically ordered doesn't show up, and instead they get a couple wilted, dead flowers.I want my money back. I paid $****** for an order that never arrived and a headache dealing with terrible customer service. Order number *******

  Ordered flowers for Mothers Day. They charged extra for delivery due to the amount of orders. The flowers have still not been received, now May **, 2025. Several call attempts have been made and every agent gave us a different excuse. One even hung up on us. We asked for a refund and have not been helped yet. They also said they have been emailing me but I havent gotten an email in my inbox or junk box from them. Not even a confirmation email but they charged me.

  We regret to hear that the services didnt meet customer's expectations.
  After reviewing our records and the relevant documentation, it appears that cancellation was not an available option for a case our customer had.
  We are unable to issue a refund for orders that are confirmed, prepared or sent out for delivery. Per order history, order has been successfully delivered on May 14th, a first closest delivery date to what our customer wanted it to be delivered on. We apologize for adjusting the delivery date, that was a necessary action to take due to low stock on the location. However, we would like to offer a replacement order free of charge. Alternatively, we could send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that the customer can use at any time in the future.
  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The business charged extra for the flowers to be delivered during Mothers Day weekend. They were not delivered until Wednesday and they also were not as pictured. They looked like a cheap grocery store bundle. During the multiple follow up calls trying to find out why they had not been delivered (which they gave a different excuse every time) they said that they did not have the product available but advertised it and accepted the payment when they apparently could not fulfil as described. I have zero intentions of being a repeat customer and do not want a store credit. Not to mention they were supposed to provide a $***** credit with every order which they also did not fulfil. After our poor service we looked into the company and they have an enormous amount of unhappy customers from Mothers Day weekend alone. In the screen shots youll see the advertised product and credit versus what we received 3 days later than what the paid extra for. 

  
  Sincerely,

  We are unable to issue a refund for orders that are confirmed, prepared or sent out for delivery. The flowers were delivered on Wednesday, at *****, with a slight delay due to the stock shortage. However, such delays typically do not impact the freshness of the flowers. Attached is a photo of the bouquet prepared for this delivery, taken at ***** on the same day, just before dispatch. Since we did not receive a photo from the customer within 24 hours of delivery, we are unable to assess the condition upon arrival. That said, even if the transit time had any effect, the flowers can still revive with fresh cold water and trimmed stems.

  At Bloomex, customer satisfaction is our top priority. To make up for the inconvenience, we would be happy to offer a replacement order at no cost. Alternatively, we can provide a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that can be used at the customers convenience.
  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
  Thank you,
