Terrible Service
To whom it may concern

I am a male/customer of your Australian service; Brisbane, Queensland in particular.

I am currently living in Longreach, QLD and in a long-distance relation with my fiance who lives in Brisbane, QLD which is a 14 hour drive from my location.

On the 3rd of November, 2014 I placed an order #1189297 to be delivered on the 4th of November 2014. At this time, I was unaware the warehouse that puts the orders together was closed for the day. I thought that due to the fact that I was able to select the 4th as a delivery date, that i was to be sent.

At 5:00pm on the 4th of November 2014, I was notified by the intended recipient of the flowers that the flowers did not get delivered. I contacted the company querying this. They notified me that an email was sent at approximately 7am on the same morning say it is unable to be delivered. This email was sent to my junk file and I did not notice it until after this phone call.

They informed me that it was to be sent on the 5th of November. My fiance was not going to be at the delivery location from this date until the 9th of November and would not be able to receive the flowers. I informed them of this and they stated that it was too late, and that the flowers were in transit and would not be returned. I told them the flowers would have no recipient now and would not be able to be collected for 4 days and would surely be wilted or not in good condition.

I stated I wanted a refund on my flowers as I paid a lot of money for them and they are now essentially worthless. They stated that once the order has been changed to "delivered" then I can claim non-delivery and get store credit. I was displeased with this as I no longer wanted the flowers as they were for a specific occasion, which has now passed and that I wanted my money back. They refused.

Since then, I have been in contact with a few persons at the Brisbane location. I am overly displeased with the customer service I received. I was not treated with respect and this made my overly agitated and furious. They would not offer an outcome which was suitable and I was unable to speak to the persons I wished to speak to. (The managers)

When I requested I be called back when the manage was in, they said they would pass on the message. I did not receive a call.

When I asked the name of the person I was speaking to, she said it was Sarah, but nothing else. When I told her she was not helping my situation and being highly unsympathetic, I was hung up on. This made my 100% angry and I will never be using the company again for my flower deliveries.

I am still waiting for my money back. They told me I can claim non-delivery once the status has been changed to "delivered" but it has been 1 day since the supposed "delivery" but the status has not been changed. I an unsatisfied with the service I have received. I paid an excess of $50 for flowers which were never claimed or delivered to the intended party. I would like a refund on my product.

I expect a swift reply.

Regards

Jacob.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you for providing your post. We were sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your order, and that your email update went into your spam folder by mistake. We apologize that the courier was unable to deliver to your area. Our overall customer satisfaction rate is nearly 98% so unfortunately your order was the exception. I believe by now that things have been resolved as we did make several attempts to sort out a resend of your products and/or provide credits. If you are still dissatisfied with our products or services please feel free to get in touch again as we stand behind both. We also responded on Facebook, which we hope provided some added clarity. Sorry again that the courier was unable to deliver to your area and that you did not see the email in time.
Best regards,
Bloomex

Flowers never delivered, total disappointment, feels like a scam
I ordered flowers, a teddy bear and a card, well in advance of the delivery date.

The courier went to the office address at 12pm when everyone was out to lunch.

The courier saw my colleagues returning to the office but he left in his car, instead of making another delivery.

Bloomex Service Reps claimed that the courier tried calling the recipient several times and went back again to make a redelivery. ALL FALSE.

BLOOMEX AUSTRALIA is a SCAM! NEVER TRUST THEM WITH YOUR MONEY!
Store Representative
Hello,
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry if the recipient was not at the provided location when the courier attempted delivery. Our couriers do not know when a particular lunch break occurs and may not be able to determine who the recipient is from among the colleagues going into an office building, but a delivery attempt was made. We did also attempt several re-deliveries in an effort to complete your order. I have passed this to customer service who will look into your resolution. We stand behind our products and services with a nearly 98% satisfaction rate and are sorry that you were not completely happy.
Best regards,
Bloomex

Bloomex - we don't care should be your title
Terrible company

Failed to fulfil order placed on 15 September as a surprise gift for a friend who got engaged in Fiji

They updated order status as completed without any attempts made to contact the recipient despite mobile contact

No response to emails now

If only I had read reviews before ordering

Poor service and an embarassement
I ordered flowers for a funeral with 2 beforehand.

The flowers were delivered a day later than planned and the item delivered was much inferior than the photo indicated.

The bouquet was a $55 arrangement (excluding card and delivery). The delivered product appeared to be a $15 bunch of flowers.

I complained to Bloomex, who have not addressed the delivery issue but stated that the delivered product may not match the photo - so my bad luck I guess. Their remediation was a store credit excluding delivery, a 50% refund in cash would have been more useful but I am more put off by the bad outcome than cost.

Caveat emptor
Store Representative
Dear David,
Thank you for the feedback. We apologize for the late delivery as our courier was not able to reach your area as planned. We were also sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the quality of the flowers. We did provide a credit for the full amount of the order, which we hope you made use of. We stand behind our products and services with an approximately 98% satisfaction rate, but unfortunately sometimes courier delays do occur.
Kind regards,
Bloomex

Terrible Service, Bad Experience
I ordered birthday flowers on 24/7/14 for one of my work colleague to be delivered on her birthday on 25/7/14. Flower never showed up. I called at 4:50pm and the lady over the phone was blunt and cold advising me that there are no direct number to track driver. She can only send an email off to track the order, besides driver has until 5pm to deliver the flowers. I pointed out that it's 10mins to 5pm, we have to close up so would like to know if driver will be here anytime soon or not? A courtesy phone call would have been nice. Her response was indifference - I can't do anything.

I tried calling again at 5.10pm and then 5.15pm. Once transferred to their Customer Service, their line went silent on me. So I assume they close 5pm on the dot. Great. Flowers for a special occasion and it never showed up and no courtesy phone call to advise it's not coming.

After that I tried sending an email twice, tried their chat, sent them a private message on facebook, called them again several times (but answering machine kept saying they were busy every time and to leave a message), left a message on their answering machine as requested. I even tried to use their "contact us" on their website to contact them but their submit button does not work.

On 28/7/14 I received an email to advise that the flowers will be delivered that same day with complimentary upgrade. Flowers arrived at 3.30pm that day. I asked the driver what happen to Friday 25/7/14? Flowers were meant to be delivered then. She replied it was not her problem. They ONLY got the order JUST 1HR AGO!!! I said I placed an order on 24/7/14. All she said was it was the Company's fault, take it up with them - loving the friendly service so far - so much for the "We Care" motto.

I took one look at the flowers and my heart sank further. It was not what I ordered and I was not sure what the complimentary upgrade was? The studs around the vase or the little ladybird glued to one of the leaves?!

First and last time Bloomex. I also discovered all the following websites associated with Bloomex (correspondence email is always from Bloomex CA). I order my flowers via www.online-florist-melbourne.com.au. Will be sticking to my regularly online store from now on, they never disappoint - www.flowers.com.au & www.rosesonly.com.au.

Website associated with Bloomex to avoid:

www.bloomex.com.ca
www.bloomex.com.au
www.secure.bloomex.com.au
www.online-florist-melbourne.com.au
www.online-florist-sydney.com.au
www.online-florist-brisbane.com.au
www.online-florist-adelaide.com.au
www.online-florist-perth.com.au
www.online-florist-darwin.com.au
www.online-florist-canberra.com.au

They sent me further discount emails after that with a complimentary delivery on my next order - Thanks, but no thanks...

Misleading and Deceptive
I am kicking myself I did not check online flower reviews before ordering. I ordered flowers my wife's 40th birthday on a Thursday for delivery on the Friday. The flowers did not turn up and after a phone call was advised they would not be delivered until Monday and there was nothing they could to fix. I then sought further assistance via the online chat support functionality on their website. Same response. I asked for the matter to be escalated and received an email back confirming a delivery on Saturday morning. I asked for a further email to confirm which I received. Flowers did not turn up on Saturday and when I contacted them again by phone and via online chat I was advised there was no record of any email or communication. I have the emails and I downloaded all online chat transcripts. Basically the online staff merely say anything to move you on. They have no control and ability to influence. This is not an online business. This is a piece of online software that books orders to a list of very ordinary flower suppliers. There is no substance to this business name. Did not take the risk. Pay a little more for piece of mind.
