The flowers arrived at my Mothers for Mothers Day. 3 of the flowers were alive. The rest of the bunch was dead, there was stalks sticking up from a stem where the dead flowers had visibly been cut off before they sent them. Numerous phone calls, numerous emails ignored! finally my Mother got through to someone who said no refund would be given but fresh flowers redelivered! Those never arrived.! This is an appalling business. Don't recommend! They even delete the bad reviews on facebook for Australia and Canada Bloomex. I have seen over 100 complaints this past Mothers Day, disappear! You have to be kidding me Bloomex!

I am a member of a Facebook page named Bloomex sucks! PERHAPS you should go there and see all the other people that are testimony of Bloomex and its poor service and check the many credit card disputes against Bloomex. You are rated an F on the Better. Business Bureau. so, no, Im still not satisfied. Thank you.
Buyer Beware. After the sale, the service is non existant.
I purchased a gift basket for my 92 year old Mother. I chose a basket that suited her current needs; a mix of items she could share with others on Mother's day. This is what I ordered:
This Gourmet Gift Basket contains an assortment of 12 decedent treats (gourmet Chocolates, exotic Coffees and Teas, premium Cheeses, Nuts, Seafood, Crackers) personally selected by our Gift Basket Gourmets and is a sure to melt their heart and satisfy their taste buds.
This is what my Mom received: It wasn’t plastic wrapped very well and fell apart when Mom pulled it out of the box and had a Christmas bow wrapped around it. It contained assorted chocolate varieties such as choc pretzels, tiramisu wafer rolls,choc filled wafers, choc waffle crunch bars, truffle cookies, choc cookie crisps, tiramisu filled wafers, butter crunch toffee almonds, butter cookies, sugar glazed cookies, peppermint choc drops, and breadsticks.
When I contacted the store they quoted me their policy: http://bloomex.ca/About-Us/Return-Policy.html and that was that.
I ordered well before Mother's day and I am easy to contact if any changes needed to be made. I would have cancelled the order had I known they were out of product.
I am so sorry you had such a shitty experience! That's absolutely appalling, this business is a huge huge scam. It disgusts me they are still in business, shut them down before more and more consumers fall victim to their unethical ways :(
I do hope you had a wonderful mothers' day with your mum though, regardless of the gifts. It's the presence not the presents that matters x
Absolute crap service. Please don't order flowers from this company. Still haven't received the flowers and im not holding my breath.. Absolute joke. They should not have a next day delivery service if they cant produce it

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.

Hi Mike, Thank you for posting your feedback. Unfortunately some of the products are not available for next day delivery in all areas, as listed on the product description. As soon as we are aware of any confusion we try to email or update ASAP. We apologize for any frustration that you experienced. It is the exception as the vast majority of our orders proceed smoothly. I have forwarded your post to our manager for further review. Sincerely, Bloomex
please take some time to report them here, I had a terrible experience with them too and they would not refund my money even though they did not deliver the flowers
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.
They sent me further discount emails after that with a complimentary delivery on my next order - Thanks, but no thanks...

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
