I ordered flowers on 10 September for my friend's 50th birthday 4 October because I was going overseas in a few days time. I called the customer service hotline to confirm the order just to make sure they get the date right,I was told everything is fine and the flowers would be delivered on the 4 October. I received an email informing that my order has been dispatched. I called customer service hotline immediately, Sarah (the person I spoke to) said she will call Currier to stop the delivery and make sure the order will be dispatch the exact date (4 October).
I received an email on the 3 October when I was overseas informing that the order had been dispatched. i was unable to stop the delivery.
My friend received her birthday flowers a day earlier, to her surprise the flowers was nearly dry and dead. It looked like the flowers was the one they didn't deliver on the 12 September? My friend called customer service to complain
On my returned home, I sent an email to ask for a refund for twice stuff up my order. they asked for a photo to proof? unfortunately, my friend didn't take a photo. and I haven't had any response from them.
I would recommend anyone to use this website.
I don't mind the mistakes because everyone made mistakes. It's the attitude to fix the problem and the follow up customer service is terrible.

I writing to you with reference to order number ########, placed on Wednesday the 12th of February via the internet.
I am writing to express my absolute disgust with the order that was received. The contents lacked quality, timeliness and a complete misrepresentation of what was displayed on the website. I have taken photos of the quality (or lack there of) of the flowers for your viewing. Please see attachments as I will reference them as you continue to read.
I had ordered these flowers as a valentine gift for my partner. I had arranged to have these flowers delivered to her a day prior to valentines day, on Thursday 13th. Even though the docket notes that the flowers were delivered on the 13th, they were in fact not delivered until Midday on Friday the 14th (Please see attachment 5). It was paramount that they were delivered on the 13th as my partner and I were both working on the Friday and she would be unable to receive them at any other time.
I waited until later that evening (of the 13th) to contact the business and after learning that I was unable to contact you via the phone (as it was outside office hours), I proceeded to your 'Live Chat support' system. I dealt with an operator called (personal name removed) who advised me my order was still being processed and that I should receive it tomorrow, and then "completed my inquiry" and terminated the session without confirming with me, the consumer, if my inquiry was in fact complete. When I tried to reconnect, i was unable to do so. When I tried to contact the business within operating hours, I had learned that you had ceased calls being answered by your customer service agents and in fact had a voice recorded message diverting all inquiries to your website suggesting that the consumer contact you via the website. So here we are . . .
Once learning that the package had arrived, I found time to go and collect it. Firstly, I was mortified to discover that these flowers came in a box, securing its contents with a zip-tie!!! No where did your website state in your delivery instructions that the bouquet would be wrapped in a cardboard box! I would expect these to be delivered, in tact and in full display for the recipient to surprised.
When i opened the package, there were petals scattered throughout the box which had clearly fallen off old, dehydrated flowers. Not to mention that the stems on most of the flowers were rotting ( see picture 4 VDay wilted rose).
The roses looked as if they had been sitting outside a local corner store for the past week! They were wilted, discoloured & looked old and warn. I would have been embarrassed to lay these flowers on anyone's grave, let alone give them to someone who can actually see them. I am just glad my partner never saw them. How embarrassing.
I had purchased a a bouquet from your website www.bloomex.com.au on special for $65 and had paid an additional $9.95 to "super size" my order. Given that your advertising suggests that this particular bouquet ordinarily sells for $130, its fair to say you would expect a large bouquet of flowers. To then super-size the order on top of that, one would expect an impressive bouquet of flowers (I refer you to picture marked 1 VDay bouquet). Instead I received an abysmal bouquet of flowers that was a complete misrepresentation and had NO resemblance to the picture displayed on your website.
As you can see that the goods & service you have provided have fallen well short of acceptable and this situation needs to be rectified. Promptly!
As the occasion that these flowers were intended has passed and that the quality, the size & the presentation of these goods were not at all fit for sale nor what I had paid for, I am seeking full reimbursement for my purchase. A replacement order is NOT an acceptable means of reimbursement. Should you dismiss my request for a full reimbursement, I will be sure to escalate this matter very promptly through the appropriate channels.
You can contact me on ************ to discuss how you will rectify this issue.
Bloomex responded with a generic response and did not address any of the issues raised except - "another bouquet has been sent". We are still waiting on that to arrive... My advice, go with a reputable company!! Avoid at all costs!
I will never use this company again either, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired and any company who send emails that customers never receive have to be questionable!
Ordered 24 roses to be delivered Saturday 28th of February, by 2pm I noticed the flowers had not arrived, I called them and they said around 5pm the roses will be delivered. the flowers arrived 24 hrs later, on Sunday 1st of March in the afternoon,( we left 12:30 pm to go to another party and arrived back home at 7 pm to find the box of roses on my doorstep)
On Saturday was a special occasion coz we threw a 60th birthday party for my wife.
I rang BLOOMEX, MONDAY MORNING, Bloomex only offer to replace the bunch of roses or give me a credit note, but it's too late, the party and celebration are over, the special day was on Saturday.
I only want a refund because they didn't honour the agreement, and they refuse to do it.
Someone in that company made a mistake, and the customer has to pay for it,that's unfair.

I live in the UK and wanted to send some flowers to my daughter-in-law in Melbourne for a special birthday. I placed the order on 9 March for delivery on 12 March, thinking this was sufficient notice. I thought the flowers were reasonably priced but thought the delivery charge was slightly excessive, and this was for next day delivery even though it was 3 days hence. (there was no other alternative delivery charge). I duly received email confirmation of the order with said delivery date of 12 March.
We skyped the family on 13 March to find out the flowers had not arrived. 2 days later they had still not turned up, so my son rang the company and, as with previous reviewers, found the call centre unhelpful and noisy and bad attitude. My son was told a complimentary bunch of flowers would be delivered by way of an apology, but they never materialised.
I emailed Bloomex to see what was happening, expressing my disgust at the service, and didn't even have the courtesy of a reply. I then received an email from them outlining a new delivery date and the flowers duly turned up on 17 March - nearly a week late. The oasis was completely dry so they had obviously been left somewhere and the delivery note had the original delivery date on it - 12 March.
Like previous reviewers, I wish I had read some of them before placing an order. I will certainly never ever use this company again and my son has advised me to send my complaint to the Australian trading standards.

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.

I placed an order for flowers for a funeral I was not able to attend 2 days in advance. There was then an avalanche of emails about the status of the order-one of these said the order had been delivered a day early. I contacted Bloomex and they said everything was fine the order would proceed at the allotted time and place. A day after the funeral I was contacted to say that the flowers were not delivered on time, they were a day late and dead and would I like to have them resent-not very helpful when the funeral was the day before.
I was given a store credit of the original amount, nothing for the inconvenience and embarrassment of not having the flowers at the funeral-very poor customer service!!
Two orders in one week, both not delivered when promised, even though I paid for same day delivery. customer service not even bothered to reply to my emails.
