ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!! DO NOT ORDER FLOWERS FROM THESE PEOPLE!! My husband ordered flowers for our wedding anniversary to arrive between 1-5pm. Flowers did not turn up by 5pm. We left home at 6:15pm and returned the following morning to find them on the doorstep, wiltered and sitting in warm water. My husband rang them and they gave us a $60 credit. So a few days later, I tried to use the credit. WHAT ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!! Their website was not working properly so I had to call them to place the order. Website says orders placed by 1pm are guaranteed same day delivery. NOT TRUE! This only applies to flowers that cost over $60! To cut a very long story short, I had to endure a very lengthy, unprofessional telephone conversation with two sales people who I could hardly hear and whose telephone manner and communication was pitiful. In the end, I had to pay an additional $16.95 to get the flowers delivered the next day!!! Then they spelt my name wrong on the card and got the delivery address wrong!! GO FIGURE! NEVER AGAIN!
disappointed don't waste your time and keep your money
I placed an order on 17/11/2014. They had an option for next day delivery. To date 72 hours later the order is still not delivered. I requested an explanation for the delay and they were unable to provide these details. Blaming the the courier for delivery delay. It's just flowers. The occasions past. I will not be doing business with this company again. I prefer to walk into the florist and buy the flowers myself. It was a bad experience. I requested a refund they explained the refund policy but it's still not satisfactory. I feel discouraged to do any further transactions online. Please save yourself the stress and DO NOT SHOP WITH BLOOMEX.
Ordered flowers for my wifes birthday 6 days prior to the date, the flowers did not arrive until the 20th and were just left out on the doorstep. Contacted them to advise and got offered a discount off my next order - like I would even consider using them again.
Do not use Bloomex, they are unreliable and the after sales service is awful.

Hello, Sorry to read about your negative experience with Bloomex. I have forwarded your post to our customer service manager. We apologize for the delivery delay and hope that you use the store credit to try us again, so that we can provide you with a better outcome. Best regards, Bloomex
Ordered flowers for my secretary for Secretary's Day which was the next day. Paid for next day delivery and the flowers never arrived. Rang approximately 5- 6 times and also sent an email however no-one resolved anything - they were 'looking into it'. Finally today (the 12th of May) I got hold of someone who actually wanted to be of some assistance who advised I would be refunded. I asked what about the flowers - I would still like them sent but wanted a refund of the delivery fee. Apparently it was refund only. They couldn't refund the delivery. In the end I have said I want the flowers upgraded. Apparently being delivered on Wednesday....but I won't hold my breath. Just glad they weren't for a funeral, or I probably would be dead by the time they arrived.

We apologize for any frustration you experienced and we did offer a refund or resend. I hope that you enjoyed the fresh flowers that were sent out to you. Best regards, Bloomex
I writing to you with reference to order number ########, placed on Wednesday the 12th of February via the internet.
I am writing to express my absolute disgust with the order that was received. The contents lacked quality, timeliness and a complete misrepresentation of what was displayed on the website. I have taken photos of the quality (or lack there of) of the flowers for your viewing. Please see attachments as I will reference them as you continue to read.
I had ordered these flowers as a valentine gift for my partner. I had arranged to have these flowers delivered to her a day prior to valentines day, on Thursday 13th. Even though the docket notes that the flowers were delivered on the 13th, they were in fact not delivered until Midday on Friday the 14th (Please see attachment 5). It was paramount that they were delivered on the 13th as my partner and I were both working on the Friday and she would be unable to receive them at any other time.
I waited until later that evening (of the 13th) to contact the business and after learning that I was unable to contact you via the phone (as it was outside office hours), I proceeded to your 'Live Chat support' system. I dealt with an operator called (personal name removed) who advised me my order was still being processed and that I should receive it tomorrow, and then "completed my inquiry" and terminated the session without confirming with me, the consumer, if my inquiry was in fact complete. When I tried to reconnect, i was unable to do so. When I tried to contact the business within operating hours, I had learned that you had ceased calls being answered by your customer service agents and in fact had a voice recorded message diverting all inquiries to your website suggesting that the consumer contact you via the website. So here we are . . .
Once learning that the package had arrived, I found time to go and collect it. Firstly, I was mortified to discover that these flowers came in a box, securing its contents with a zip-tie!!! No where did your website state in your delivery instructions that the bouquet would be wrapped in a cardboard box! I would expect these to be delivered, in tact and in full display for the recipient to surprised.
When i opened the package, there were petals scattered throughout the box which had clearly fallen off old, dehydrated flowers. Not to mention that the stems on most of the flowers were rotting ( see picture 4 VDay wilted rose).
The roses looked as if they had been sitting outside a local corner store for the past week! They were wilted, discoloured & looked old and warn. I would have been embarrassed to lay these flowers on anyone's grave, let alone give them to someone who can actually see them. I am just glad my partner never saw them. How embarrassing.
I had purchased a a bouquet from your website www.bloomex.com.au on special for $65 and had paid an additional $9.95 to "super size" my order. Given that your advertising suggests that this particular bouquet ordinarily sells for $130, its fair to say you would expect a large bouquet of flowers. To then super-size the order on top of that, one would expect an impressive bouquet of flowers (I refer you to picture marked 1 VDay bouquet). Instead I received an abysmal bouquet of flowers that was a complete misrepresentation and had NO resemblance to the picture displayed on your website.
As you can see that the goods & service you have provided have fallen well short of acceptable and this situation needs to be rectified. Promptly!
As the occasion that these flowers were intended has passed and that the quality, the size & the presentation of these goods were not at all fit for sale nor what I had paid for, I am seeking full reimbursement for my purchase. A replacement order is NOT an acceptable means of reimbursement. Should you dismiss my request for a full reimbursement, I will be sure to escalate this matter very promptly through the appropriate channels.
You can contact me on ************ to discuss how you will rectify this issue.
Bloomex responded with a generic response and did not address any of the issues raised except - "another bouquet has been sent". We are still waiting on that to arrive... My advice, go with a reputable company!! Avoid at all costs!
I will never use this company again either, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired and any company who send emails that customers never receive have to be questionable!
I ordered flowers on 10 September for my friend's 50th birthday 4 October because I was going overseas in a few days time. I called the customer service hotline to confirm the order just to make sure they get the date right,I was told everything is fine and the flowers would be delivered on the 4 October. I received an email informing that my order has been dispatched. I called customer service hotline immediately, Sarah (the person I spoke to) said she will call Currier to stop the delivery and make sure the order will be dispatch the exact date (4 October).
I received an email on the 3 October when I was overseas informing that the order had been dispatched. i was unable to stop the delivery.
My friend received her birthday flowers a day earlier, to her surprise the flowers was nearly dry and dead. It looked like the flowers was the one they didn't deliver on the 12 September? My friend called customer service to complain
On my returned home, I sent an email to ask for a refund for twice stuff up my order. they asked for a photo to proof? unfortunately, my friend didn't take a photo. and I haven't had any response from them.
I would recommend anyone to use this website.
I don't mind the mistakes because everyone made mistakes. It's the attitude to fix the problem and the follow up customer service is terrible.
please help by reporting this very poor service here http://www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au/lodge-your-complaint
