Unaccountable, no flowers received and no customer service reply
I purposely booked the flowers 2 days in advance to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances, yet my friend did not receive any flowers from Bloomex. It is now the 23rd and still no flowers and no reply from customer service, I doubt I will ever get back my money. I have left clear instructions for your company to call my friend in case you can't find her at the delivery place, yet my friend received no calls and no flowers. Your company is really quite bad, do you know how bad this made me look in my friend's eyes? I hope you do not purposely send her dead flowers later on just to make me look even worse.

Hi Moonobserver, Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear of the confusion, sounds like the instructions could have gotten knackered somewhere between us and the delivery company. If you still would like to take up the issues with customer service, please call them at 1800 451 637 and they may be able to rectify the situation for you if it's as described. Thanks very much and all the best. Sincerely, Bloomex Australia
Never use this company - they delivered on the wrong day (after me double checking it would be mothers day), the flowers were wilted and the bunch mainly consisted of leaves and the card wasn't signed. Advised the company three times of the problem and no response - and the live operator closed the session the first time I complained and the second time showed no interest in fixing the problem and said "ok" when I advised I will be reversing the payment. Now a credit card dispute is taking place.

Hello Carlea, Sorry to read about the courier delay and that you were not completely satisfied with the flowers you received. Bloomex stands behind products and services with a very high customer satisfaction rate, so I'm sorry to hear of the problems with your order. I trust by now it was all resolved. Thank you for the feedback. SIncerely, Bloomex
Wow what a prompt reply - not! No the issue was never resolved - you are a bunch of rip off merchants. I hope your business fails sooner rather than later.
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.

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
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.
My sister should have read reviews before using Bloomex
I received a Christmas Table Centrepiece from my sister on the 23rd. It was nothing like the picture, arrived upside down, flowers broken, bits of bushes stuck in (no pine cones or berries) white roses all brown, foam container showing - no way I would put it on show in my house. I contacted wecare at Bloomex on the 23rd and they asked for photos, which I sent. Not another word. I am Victoria and I reckon Fastway had the box in one of their vans overnight or longer. I threw the display out Christmas Day after sending another photo to Bloomex. They are supposed to last a week, but we had it two days. Even the greenery was shriveling up. Check how many people would not use Bloomex again. I also went through to LiveChat (Anna). I briefly told her I had no reply from Wecare and she did not reply. Line went dead!
Bloomex have been in touch apologising and said they would send a replacement on 6th Jan when they return to work
Hi there, Thank you for posting your feedback and also for posting your update. We apologize again that your centrepiece was not completely to your liking, and for any damage that the courier added. We are glad to see that a fresh delivery has been set up for you. Thank you again for your patience and fairness as the matter was sorted. Best regards, Bloomex Australia
Another display received 8th. I think Bloomex are being let down by franchise owners and freight company. The display was still nothing like picture on line except it was red & green. Thanks Bloomex.
Every year I send my partner a dozen roses for Valentines Day but this year it slipped my mind and so I went online the day before hoping to get something organised. I settle on Bloomex and after having a lot of trouble with their terrible website decide to call. The salesperson assured me that despite Valentines Day being a Saturday my order was guaranteed to be delivered. After waiting around home all day it was time for us to go out to dinner so at 5.30pm I called Bloomex who told me that it was still possible my order would arrive. We left and upon returning home still no delivery.
I rang the next day and assured the flowers had been delivered because that what the system said. After being mucked around for 30 mins on the phone I was told there was nothing that could be done until Monday.
I call Monday and was told the complaint would have to escalated and I would get a call back. That didn't happen.
I call Tuesday and finally get told I would get a full refund. I then get an email saying my delivery fee would be refunded - $14.95. A full refund is the entire cost of the order - $99.90.
I call back at 1130am and get to listen to someone breathing and sniffing and snorting for 30 mins only to be told they are waiting for a manager to approve the full refund (which had already been approved the day before). I was also told I would get a call back.
That was 4 hours ago and still nothing.
Woeful customer service! There is no way I would ever use this "organisation" again.
UPDATE - I eventually got a refund of $71.90. Where this figure came from I have no idea so I rang and asked what about the $13 outstanding? I was told the outstanding amount was only $5! After talking the operator through some basic maths we agreed I was owed $13 so she authorised that refund. That was 4 days ago and no email to confirm or money in my account......So sick of this crap but I've decided to let it go. My time has been wasted enough as I've spent about 5 hours so far trying to get this sorted.
ANYONE WHO USES BLOOMEX SHOULD PREPARE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT!
Hi Scott, So sorry to read about your frustrating time. We apologize that your flowers were delayed by our courier, and for any difficulty you had reaching a clear resolution. Our customer satisfaction rate is very high and our agents do their best to track and resolve issues. We are glad to see that a resolution was offered. If you still have not received your full refund feel free to leave your order number and we will investigate with the manager directly. Best regards, Bloomex Australia
My order number was 1198881 - I know if off by heart since I have had to quote it so many times to your operators. I still have not received the full refund despite being assured it would be done. There is $13 outstanding but I have not chased it further as Bloomex have disappointed me and wasted enough of my time!
Hi again Scott, Yes, your additional $13 has been refunded to your card. We apologize again for the oversight on the part of the customer service agent in tracking the two separate (now three) refunds you were issued. When customer feedback is read here, we are able to provide additional investigation to ensure that our customer service department is hearing about issues, and also that they are handling them adequately. We are glad that your full refund has now been taken care of, and apologize for any frustration you experienced in the process.
DO NOT EVER, I REPEAT EVER SHOP AT BLOOMEX. SCAMMERS
I ordered from bloomex on the 12th feb for valentines day, selecting the option for it to be shipped for that date. so i get an order confirmation via email and it states the delivery date will be on the 20th feb. so i call up the next day advising that i would like to change the date for it to be sent on the 14th and the rather emotionless lady confirms thats fine. on the morning of the delivery i call up to see if i can change the delivery address when a lady advises me that this cannot be done, which was fine. so i wait all day on valentines with my girl waiting for these flowers to come, and big surprise nothing arrives.
conveniently bloomex is unreachable, after many different calls and several left messages i give up and decide i will call them the following day.
i call up the next day and i speak to a guy from the sales department, i call up asking to speak to a manager when he advises me there isnt a manager in today, please call tomorrow. i advised him i would like to cancel my order and get a refund, he tells me he cant do anything but he will put a note on the system so they can see that i called.
call up the following day after several attempts i speak with a useless male who says he is unable to put me onto a manager and gives me no particular reason why. i tell him i would like to cancel my order and that i would like a refund. he tells me that he has cancelled my order and he will get a "manager" to email me later on that day.
i receive an email later that day advising in a nut shell.. oh sorry we will give you a free upgrade on your next order and refund any delivery fee's. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WILL WANT TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM YOUR COMPANY AGAIN? i have sent emails asking for resolution and not one single promise has been fulfilled, seems like everyone is happy to pass the buck and get nothing done. honestly a shocking "business" which fails to deliver on its promise. Your customer service sucks serious balls. how this business is afloat is still beyond me. If i do not get resolution i will most surely be taking this matter further.
BUYERS BEWARE, DO NOT EVER SHOP WITH BLOOMEX, EVER. i knew i should of shopped elsewhere.
If anyone can shed light on getting a refund, which i find is most likely not going to happen, that would be great. will be making a formal complaint to fair trade if no resolution is made.
cant wait to see what shitty excuse i receive.
Regards,
Shitty customer
