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 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.

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.
Our friend who loved sunflowers died on April 16th - no funeral. I ordered a large sunflower bouquet pictured on the Bloomex website(below left) over the telephone with an agent for his widow. A small, half dead bouquet of another type of yellow flowers (below centre)was delivered. We ordered a sympathy card with a condolence message from the friends. A red and black card with no message and no indication of the senders was sent. Bloomex repeatedly made excuses and promised to resend. The total bill was $82.50. When nothing arrived by May 5th, another florist was contacted. A less expensive beautiful bigger bouquet of sunflowers arrived.
I asked for my money back from Bloomex. They said that they could resend the flowers but they could only credit $58.98 to my account for future purchases. So I said resend with a card to my mother for Mother's Day. The flowers arrived (below right)at my home not my mother's, addressed to the widow not my mother, with a card without the message I had sent.
Order flowers the night before to be delivered the next day for my Mother for Mothers Day. Received a confirmation email the following morning saying all processed. Somebody stayed home all day waiting and nothing arrived. Rang the 1800 number from the website and keep going to voicemail. Used the online chat and the agent said that they had my details and they would escalate it to the manager. Have not heard a thing back. This is the first and very last time I will use this very reliable company.

Abysmal service from the moment I paid. I ordered, and paid for, same day delivery for a really special occasion - the flowers weren't delivered for another 24hrs, and also to the totally wrong address. I had to arrange separate courier for the flowers to be delivered to the correct address which, when they finally arrived, looked nothing like the flowers I had ordered, and we're entirely innapropriate for the special occasion. When chasing this up with Bloomex, I was given the run around and no help whatsoever. Still no refund on my same day delivery.
Absolutely abysmal service. Never use them.
