Terrible Service, no Delivery on valentines day and no refund
I ordered flowers on the 4th Feb to be delivered on 14th Feb. I paid $83 for guaranteed delivery. From 1.10pm I started calling to see where delivery was at. It took at least 20 calls to finally get through. He assured me they were on route and would be delivered by 54pm, but they legally had until 5pm.I called again at 4, and was assured they would be there by 5pm. I told the man that if they were to be there after 5pm, I did not want them to be delivered at all, as they were meant for the 14th Feb only. At 5.30pm they were still not delivered. I tried calling Org that evening and sent emails over the afternoon and then the next day, I phoned repeatedly the next day and for the following 4 days, but they were not taking calls. They then delivered a box with spilt coffee all over it to my partner, at work on the 15th Feb at 3.50pm. The flowers were partially dead, the foam thing dry. They did not look like what I had originally ordered, and I had paid for the bunch to be supersized, but they quite obviously were not. I have since spoken with them, and they were quite rude, and said they will not refund as the flowers were made to my order, and eventually delivered! This is their response. As it was busy on Valentine’s, the courier was unable to deliver this on time, which is what most likely caused the flowers to not be fresh upon arrival. We will refund your delivery fee because the service you requested was not met, but we cannot offer a refund for the flowers. I want a refund not more dealing with the company or poor quality flowers! Now they will not even respond to me.

Hi bec11,
Just wanted to say sorry for your experience. Valentine's Day is unquestionably our busiest time of year, and for the delivery services as well. Still, your case sounds rather unusual, and sorry to hear of your trouble all the same, and hope you have a great day. Sincerely, Bloomex Australia
Similar to Bec11, I had a terrible experience. I ordered 2 dozen long stemmed roses & a hand blown glass vase 2 weeks before Valentines Day. What was delivered was a bunch of roses (not long stemmed) & no glass vase. I tried for days to contact them, eventually getting their office in Canada on Live Chat. I was promised a call from a manager on the next working day - nothing. On 19th Feb I received a call from an extremely rude & argumentative girl who continually talked over the top of me. They would not refund, only provide a "store credit", or they would redeliver (but only after their flower delivery came in to Sydney on 25th Feb). I was told that if I take them to court, this is all I will get anyway, and then she hung up on me. I do not want flowers 2 weeks after the event, I don't want to ever deal with this company again, and I still have not received the vase I have paid for. They have since cancelled my account. I am taking further action.

After checking with an operator BEFORE ordering whether my order would be same day delivery, (as it stated otherwise on website)
They assured me if i ordered before 11am they would arrive today if it was in Sydney. Turns out they don't.
At 4pm i tried to contact someone in Sydney Office but the phone diverted to an internet phone for an office in Canada. Apparently by 4pm the office in Sydney is closed.
There was no one i could speak to regarding my order, as it had obviously not arrived same day as promised.
As it is after hours in Canada at 4pm AEST, there was no manager or ANYONE who could help me out.
As a result the only chance I had to get the flowers delivered passed.
There was "nothing they could" apparently.
This is unacceptable for a flower delivery business. Don't believe they operate out of Australia because they DO NOT!!!
I don't even know if I'm getting a refund but there is absolutely no point in the arriving tomorrow.
Not only this, but now it has ruined this very special day. I have no flowers, I'm in a foul mood for our dinner tonight,
STEAR CLEAR of this disgusting money hungry grabbing, uncaring, pathetic excuse for a business.
Sorry to hear of your appalling experience, you're just confirming my suspicions. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Pauly, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that there was confusion regarding same day delivery options. We do make every effort to clarify the delivery options but we apologize if there was any confusion between you and the operator. Once the flowers have been prepared and the courier picks them up, we cannot call them back and they will arrive at the delivery address. Customer service would make every effort to resolve your unhappiness. Our customer satisfaction rate is very high and we pride ourselves on our products and services. Sorry again for any frustration on your part. Best regards, Bloomex
Ordered Mother's Day flower package only to receive a tiny bunch of half wilted flowers in a box, a box of after dinner mints (about $3 from Coles?) and the teddy & card.
Was very unhappy that the flowers were already wilted and petals dropping off on arrival! This is the 2nd time I have ordered from them only to be let down.

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
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
