Birthday flowers and fruit arrived damaged, dying and with visible mold. Company response was to hang up the phone when I tried to complain. They also made up false names, gave incorrect contact information and tried to invent laws and regulations to defend their appalling practices.

Hello, I believe this was resolved some time ago. We apologized for the fruit arriving in less thank peak condition, as quality is extremely important to us. We offered to resend a fresh basket immediately, but a refund was preferred. A refund was issued. We apologize if there was any confusion regarding communications with our customer service department. A manager was alerted to your messages and investigation ensued with the agents who handled your order. We have an extremely high customer satisfaction rate so your concerns are important and were followed up. Thank you for your feedback and we trust that the issue has now been resolved for you.
Quite the contrary; this order was only recently refunded and only done so after a case was opened with NSW office of fair trading. Bloomex refused a refund outright, disconnected customer service calls and failed to deliver a replacement order that was explicitly assured. I also take issue with your claim to have a high customer satisfaction rate. Your online reviews would suggest completely the opposite and indicate that your assertions in this regard are fanciful. There is no 'confusion' of any kind, your service is sub standard and I urge others considering to use order with you to review the feedback other Australian customers are leaving for bloomex.
My mother order flowers on 26/02 to be delivered 27/02. Flowers did not arrive. Flowers arrived to my office on 02/03. On opening flowers were dead , clearly were in the box from Friday.
I called to enquire & was told that my mother had given the wrong suburb.When I told them that the delivery docket in the box said the correct address, the staff member said yes because they corrected it.I then asked why did you then send me dead flowers.
I asked for a refund , they refused said they would send new flowers with $20 upgrade. Flowers were due 03/03.
Courier called my mother on 03/03 to say flowers were to be delivered prior to 5pm.
Surprise surprise - no flowers arrived.
Again I called to organise a refund. Was told that a Sales Manager would call tomorrow to discuss refund.
Sales Manager called the next morning to tell me flowers would arrive that day. I told her I wanted a refund. She kept on talking that the flowers would be delivered today & as I was only the recipient I could not be relied on for information my mother gave me. She said that a courier did not contact her & that only contact has been through emails.
I ended up ending the conversation as she kept talking over me & was very frustrated.
After reading other reviews regarding them , it looks like they say the same thing to any customer who has an issue.

Like every other person who has left a review here, I paid for flowers and also paid an extra $15.00 for next day delivery. After reading all these reviews, I decided to call Bloomex Australia to double check that my flowers would be delivered today as I had paid extra. They assured me the flowers would be delivered between 1-5pm today. The flowers were not delivered by 5:30pm, so we called Bloomex yet again and they were extremely unhelpful - told to check my email, which I had, and had not received anything from them. The line was also terrible - I assume the call centre isn't in Australia? Still have no clue where my flowers that I paid $55.00 for have gotten to.
I will be contacting the Australian Government Fair Trade to put in an official complaint as it seems that this is the only way we can get a refund.
I just wish I had read all these reviews BEFORE purchasing - DO NOT BUY FROM BLOOMEX!!

The flowers were eventually delivered 4 days late even though I had paid extra for next day delivery. The flowers and leaves in the bunch were dying by this stage and the bunch was TINY, definitely did not look like the supersize I had ordered. When I suggested the wrong flowers were delivered you insisted they were the correct ones and were supersize even though they looked absolutely nothing like the picture and completely ignored my request for a refund. I've contacted consumer protection of WA to receive the refund as it was clear after much back and forth with you that you weren't willing to listen or negotiate. I am extremely unhappy about paying 55 dollars for something I did not order to arrive 4 days late.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! I ordered sympathy flowers and paid extra for delivery and flowers not delivered four days later so I cancelled the order and got a cancelling confirmation email from them but they now wont refund me as they say the flowers were delivered but THEY WERE NOT!!
STILL NO DELIVERY OR REFUND. ABSOLUTLEY APPALLING. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE STILL OPERATING.

I ordered flowers on the 13th of March for next day delivery. They were not delivered so I contacted them and was offered delivery ASAP and an upgrade I am still waiting for them to be delivered 4 days after the order. I have reported the company to the ACCC.
If I could give zero stars I would as they never arrived.

I ordered from Bloomex for my best friends birthday - Thursday morning for Friday delivery, the Anniversary Designer Collection II, Carrington White Wine & registered for the free Teddy & Card . It wasn't until after ordering that I noticed the terrible reviews. Of course I panicked and emailed them to ensure my order would be delivered Friday. They promised me it would... you guessed it, Friday evening came & no order was delivered. You can imagine I was dismayed that my best friend had received nothing from me on her birthday. Monday I emailed to complain & ask them to please send a new bouquet as the ones I had ordered had been sitting in an uncooled fastway van/depot for at least 3 days. To my amazement they said they would do this and add an additional hamper to my order. The flowers arrived on the Tuesday, which I will admit also surprised me as this was next day turnaround that they couldn't do for me the first time around. But..... the flowers that arrived where NOTHING like the image I had ordered from. Check for yourself, the Anniversary Designer Collection II shows white roses with pink lilies and some greenery... what arrived was red roses & carnations, red pink lilies & purple daisy's (bulk of the flowers being the daisy's)!!! Horrific colour assortment, to say nothing of the fact I had paid for lilies and roses not daisy's! I received no phone call/email to notify me of any changes to the flowers or colours. Once I'd cooled down after seeing the flowers I checked out the hamper - the hamper was great don't get me wrong. But it included my teddy which I was already receiving, champagne - which meant the white wine was left off my order. I was promised the hamper on top of my order, not to incorporate thing's id already paid for on my order. Go figure - I'd specifically ordered white wine as I knew my best friend didn't like the fuzz of champagne.
But what's really infuriated me is the fact that the flowers do not resemble in any shape or form what I ordered. I've complained only to be told that this is a designer bouquet which means it's a florist choice bouquet. I was absolutely blown away. I can't believe they can get away with such false advertising. See my images below of what arrived & what I ordered... Can you believe it?!?!?!?! DO NOT be sucked in by the deceiving methods of this company. If you order you are ordering with pot luck - a bunch that you have no idea what it will look like, that will be delivered days after you specify.
I would like to say that the office staff that I dealt with were very polite to me, apologetic about the first delivery not arriving on time...and I understand these problems are out of their hands. However when it came to complaining about the stark difference of what was delivered compared to what was ordered they were plain rude - stated that I'd received what I ordered... What else do they lie about?!?!? I believe the issues with Bloomex is the management. They obviously do NOT care about customer satisfaction, about honesty & integrity. They desperately need to either get a new courier service that can deliver on the dates they promise, or update the website to reflect the dates the courier can do. This is the same with the florist. I find it extremely unacceptable & outrageous to have an image and description of a product for the customer to be sent something entirely different. Either they need to ensure florists are only sending bouquets ordered from the website - or they update the website to reflect what the florist has to offer. BLOOMEX CHECK THE STATS - ARE EVEN A QUARTER OF YOUR CUSTOMERS SATISFIED? IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT>

Hello, I really appreciate you looking into this for me. My order number is 1203382. Please let me know if you require any additional information or photos.
I have noted on estore reviews alone less than half of your customers are satisfied with their order.
Three months later ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE to reconcile this!!! Funny 24 hours you operate with. Not a wonder your service is so dreadful. Close your doors & save yourselves some embarrassment. I am actually absolutely astounded your business is still operating when its all a fraud!
I live in Sydney and I ordered some flowers for my uncle's funeral in Brisbane. It costs $84.90 and the order was placed 4 days before the funeral. Money was deducted from my bank account immediate after the order so I expect the order went through. It is now two days after the funeral and still NO FLOWER!! This is the last chance I can pay my respect to my uncle and the flower did not show up at the funeral !!
There was no call from anybody on the day of delivery even though I left my phone number with the order . When I contacted the company yesterday , first I was told there was not order received . And yet they managed to get money from my bank ?! Later on I got an email to say they will chase up the order with the local florist . 26 hours later there is still no update . The customer service guy is very unhelpful . All he could tell me is the local florist didn't reply . There was no intention of following up this order! Flowers was not delivered and the customer service is very poor !
Still no refund or follow up more than One week later!!
