I placed an order with this company of the *** of January 2025 for flowers to be delivered to the recipient on the *** of January. The order was shower on the company's website as 'in transit' until at least *** on the day of delivery. The status of the delivery then changed to 'updated' with no details. I contacted the company via email on the *** to ask for details. The company advised that attempted delivery had been made and that no one was at the residence. They also advised they had attempted to call the telephone number and there was no answer. I asked them to provide evidence of the attempted delivery and a screenshot from the driver's phone call. It was my phone and i received no missed calls on that day (and can prove that) the owner of the home also confirmed they were home all day and no attempted delivery was made. I emailed the company several times to ask for evidence of their attempts on the *** of January. I received a phone call on the **** of January advising me that they were unable to locate the drivers attempted delivery information in the system.. They have offered me store credit or delivery of the now * week old flowers. I have asked for a full refund which they advised they could not process. I have asked them to follow up with an email so they confirm in writing they have no evidence of the delivery or call. I have since discovered this company has numerous complaints online of a similar nature. I now firmly believe there was no attempt to deliver the goods or contact me.Business Response

We attempted to deliver an order for ****** ******** at the originally requested address **********************************************************************************************************************************************. Turns out there was no response to the building's intercom, no response to a phone call from a driver to ************ or there was no concierge in the building. Furthermore, neighbors won't let our driver into the building.
On *** of January, ******** we sent an email to ************************* with the request to arrange a resend. On 6 of January, 18:28:25 we received an email from unregistered in billing info mailbox *********************************** with the refund request. We are unable to issue a refund for orders that are confirmed, prepared or sent out for delivery. However, we would like to offer a replacement order free of charge. Alternatively, we could send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that the customer can use at any time in the future.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because your response has further proven that you were never at the property listed on the delivery address. You will see if you put the address into ******, that the recipient lives in a house, not a condominium. There is no intercom, no concierge, there can be no such thing as 'neighbors not letting you into the building'. You have just provided me with written proof that you either are not telling the truth, or your driver went to the wrong address (which is not my responsibility) . I am not sure what emailing you from another email address has to do with this issue either. However, you have still provided absolutely no proof of this attempted phone call, which should be very simple. I had no missed calls on the *** of January so you cannot have called my phone. During the telephone call with your representative yesterday, they advised they were unable to locate the driver's proof of attempted delivery...so where are all of these new details about an attempted delivery to a wrong address coming from? You also did not email me on the 5th of January. You are unable to provide actual evidence of any of the claims you are making. You have taken money for goods which you are solely at fault for not delivering to the recipient. You are legally obligated to refund a customer whom you have taken payment from, and the goods not received because of your company's error. I now have written evidence that you did not go to the correct address.

********************** is a large company handling thousands of deliveries every hour. While we strive to assist our customers and provide accurate delivery information, Bloomex does not guarantee services such as real-time delivery updates or detailed evidence, including calls from drivers. As such, these limitations do not not allow customer to claim for a refund. ********************** Customer Support fulfilled every necessary step in resolving the issue before the refund request to which customer decided not to communicate in finding possible solution. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a refund for orders that have been confirmed, prepared, or dispatched for delivery. However, we are happy to offer a replacement order at no additional cost. Alternatively, we can send a gift basket of equal value or provide store credit that can be used at any time in the future.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because you have not provided any explanation to the fact you have given the wrong details about the delivery address. 'Bloomex does not guarantee services such as real-time delivery updates or detailed evidence, including calls from drivers' - it was your company that advised me in writing, more than once, that your delivery driver called me and I did not answer. This claim is false and I am asking you to prove your repeated statement of this. 'Bloomex Customer Support fulfilled every necessary step in resolving the issue' - this is also untrue, I have asked you repeatedly to provide me with tangible evidence that your claim is true. You have advised in writing that your attempted delivery of the goods I ordered was made to the wrong address, therefor you are at fault. There is no error in the delivery address I provided to you, your driver clearly went to the wrong address with the goods I paid for. This means that you have taken payment for goods which you mishandled. 'Unfortunately,we are unable to provide a refund for orders that have been confirmed,prepared, or dispatched for delivery' - can you confirm that this statement includes orders that have been confirmed, prepared and then incorrectly dispatched to an entirely different address to the one outlined by the customer? The delivery to the wrong address is your company's error, not mine, you are liable to give a full refund to a customer that has paid for goods that you have misplaced. There is absolutely no discrepancy with the address I gave to you, you were provided with accurate delivery information yet your driver referred to a different address to the one I input into the order. I do not want store credit or a gift basket from a company who delivered to the wrong address and is now claiming no fault for this. I am legally entitled to a full refund and will continue to pursue this until I have gotten my money back.

On January **, 2025, I was attempting to order flowers to be delivered. I found ************************* with an online search. I selected items for purchase and proceeded to checkout. Payment was required prior to checkout completion, which was a red flag, but I continued. Payment information was submitted. However, while I was filling out the delivery information I realized the company was a ****. No delivery information was submitted, and at no point did I ever click "COMPLETE ORDER". I immediately attempted to cancel the order via a chat widget on the website. They informed that I would receive credit, not a refund. I received an email that my order was on hold. My order was clearly incomplete. I wish for my order # ******** to be cancelled and refund issued immediately. Searching online, I have discovered that I am not the first ****** to experience this with this company. This activity should investigated and this website taken down.Business Response

Ordered some flowers to be delivered before christmas. Paid extra for rush delivery and got confirmation saying they would be delivered within a window of Dec *****. Got another email confirming delivery on **** and another email promising delivery before xmas (see attached emails). Spoke to customer service and they also confirmed delivery by 8 pm on ****. They were not delivered. Since then I have sent numerous emails and made phone calls. They refuse to cancel the order, they lie about the status and they refuse to refund my money. They will not let me speak to a manager. Last call to customer service was yesterday (Dec **) They promised again someone would call within ** hours...they have not. I just want the order cancelled and money refunded for a product and service that wasn't honored.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
They lie. The confirmation they gave me was delivery before Christmas. If they weren’t able to fulfil the order, that should have been communicated at that time. I would have ordered from elsewhere. Delivering a week late is not acceptable. I sent multiple emails telling them not to deliver as the occasion had passed (also included in original filing)I’ve included copies of the email in my original filing stating it would be delivered before Christmas. When I contacted them on the ****, the order was not prepared nor shipped as per order status on their website (it said still in packaging). I do not want a credit. I’ll never use their services again. I want a refund for product and services they did not fulfil.

In light of the inconvenience caused by the delay, we have offered the customer two resolutions:

I am rejecting this response because:
This is almost a cut and paste from last response. I will not accept anything less than full refund. I paid $***** for rush delivery (not $*****) to ensure they would be delivered by Xmas. I also supersized the order and this small pathetic arrangement was delivered. If they were not able to fulfil this, that should have been communicated. I sent several emails telling them NOT to send them after the fact. As a paying customer, that should have been respected. Clearly we are not getting anywhere here. I will be dealing with my credit card company going forward for this ********** company. I hope you as the BBB will issue a warning to consumers of this company’s deception and shady business practices and also rate them accordingly.

I ordered a fresh flower arrangement as a birthday gift, paid a fee to ensure delivery for December ****, AM delivery. Dont hear from the company on the **** and the recipient never received the order. I looked into the company and realized my mistake, this business is a certified scam. Take your money, dont deliver or delay delivery as much as possible then offer a credit to keep your funds. I called in December **** to their customer service line to cancel after I got a notice that my order was now scheduled for December **** delivery. ***, the customer service line doesnt exists, fake number. Unavailable in your area. Called the phone line that connects you if youre trying to place an order. Finally got through. Spoke to * people who said theyd put me on hold to speak to a supervisor about cancelling. The line would either never be picked up or theyd disconnect. I called again and again until a supervisor called me back. Stated theyd send me an email back confirming my request to cancel my order-at that point my order was not confirmed on their website, nor was my credit card charged at that point. I called back that evening after I did not receive the email as stated. The next supervisor was belligerent, repeating herself at least ** in a row not my problem, not my problem when I requested the email confirmation to be sent, she then hung up on me. The next day, no email from the supervisor, but they charged my credit card and then confirmed the order via email which is date stamped of course the next day (the ****), still pending delivery sometime after December ****. And as anyone who has dealt with this **** knows they will say their policy is no refunds AFTER the order is confirmed so with no email confirming my cancellation theyve got me and my credit cardI have called and emailed everyday since Dec **** requesting my refund. There is no product, no delivery as agreed upon and nothing on route. Terrible **** business that should be shut down.Business Response

I ordered a "Sunny Memories" flower arrangement from Bloomex for my good friend's mother's funeral. It was sent directly to funeral home so I could not have seen the flowers before hand. The actual flowers looked very sparse, much smaller, and missing some of the flowers in the picture.I uploaded two pictures. The first one is what they advertised on their website . The second one is the actual flowers. This is beyond disappointment. Very embarrassing and disrespectful to have sent such a big discrepancy of flowers to someones funeral. My respect and thought for my friends family was misrepresented by such mediocre looking flowers.They offered store credit but it's no use to me as I will not order from Bloomex anymore. They also offered to re-send the flowers to the family's home but of course this is not an option for me either. Who does that? The family has moved on since the funeral.I think the most fair compensation is a full refund. I cannot now go back in time to fix this as the funeral already happened.

We regret to hear that the services didnt meet customer's expectations.
The area where the order has to be delivered is outside of local delivery areas. Our production facilities provide Same Day delivery to ***************, ******, ****************, *********, *******, ********, ********, ******* and *****************. Overnight courier (next business day) will be used for delivery outside of these areas. We cannot guarantee timely delivery for funeral occasions while sending orders overnight, so we're dealing with partnered florist. Customer's order was fulfilled to the value of the price paid, to not cause a delay and ensure the recipient receives the gift on the day planned.
As customer's satisfaction is our top priority, we would like to offer a replacement order free of charge. Alternatively, we could send a gift basket of equal value or issue a store credit that the customer can use at any time in the future.

I placed an online order for a 'deluxe bouquet' of flowers to be delivered on December *. Bloomex provides many different bouquet options with lots of images to choose from. Flowers delivered were not fresh, and looked nothing like the photo. I was extremely embarrassed with the quality and size of the arrangement (these were a gift for my mother). On Monday. December * I emailed Bloomex to complain, and provided pictures of the flowers as well as the picture of the online image of what the bouquet was expected to look like. I requested a refund. They did not reply. I followed up with a message on December **, and they responded that they were sorry I was not happy with the flowers; but that everything was aligned with their policy and they do have the right to substitute flowers based on availability. They also suggested the flowers were fresh. I could have gotten nicer for $** at the grocery store; however my order was $**. They offered a credit for future purchase which I declined as I will not be ordering from them ever again.Business Response

On Nov. ** I received an email offering me a promotional credit of $** if I ordered the Beer Advent Calendar. I thought this would make a good gift for my husband and help me with purchasing flowers for my Mother in Law. On Nov. **** I placed the order using the link provided and was billed $***** for the beer, $* for the $**. Credit, $**** for a can deposit and $***** in taxes for a total of *****.

I was advised to call the ***** #. After being on hold for quite some time I was finally told the credit would show by end of day. It didn't. On the **** I again attempted to use the credit but was told it was not yet on my account. At that time I said I wished to cancel the order as I purchased with the promise of a credit that didn't arrive, I was told they could not cancel the order because the beer had already shipped and was in transit. They promised the credit would show on my account with in ** hours. I received the beer and again tried to place an order on the **** using the promised credit which of course wasn't there. I again contacted the company and was told a supervisor/manager would be in touch within the hour, that was at *** by noon I had still not heard anything and said I was going to dispute this transaction as I had not received everything I had been promised.

Then why did they accept my order knowing that they were not going to fulfill it? They told me that they might send me a store credit because I am not satisfied. I dont want a store credit because I dont plan on ever dealing with them again. I want a refund and they can pick up the gift basket if they want. It seems like they will do anything to get your money. That is not acceptable and online customers should be made aware of this deceipt.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:1- You could certainly issue me a refund. That is another deception on your part. Every merchant has the ability to issue a refund on Visa.
2. It was NOT below 0 degrees Celsius on the delivery date in *********, **

The customer had a negative experience and is requesting a full refund, indicating they no longer wish to engage with the business. However, we are working to turn this situation around by resolving their concerns and ensuring the experience is positive. Our goal is not only to address the immediate issue but to maintain and even strengthen the customers relationship with the business going forward.
We understand customer's concerns regarding the substitutions of the Poinsettia Basket. As per our policy, substitutions may occur, and while every effort is made to maintain the original product, a substitution can be made due to the weather conditions. We regret any inconvenience caused, item delivered was held in accordance with our policy.

I am rejecting this response because: I believe that you fraudulently accepted my order and my money knowing that you were not going to fulfill my order. You must not send poinsettia plants at all because the Christmas Season is cold in ******* So why do you even offer this merchandise? The reason is that you just want to grab customers away from the local florists making them think that you are going to send a poinsettia. Then, when you have our money, you substitute a gift basket instead of the poinsettia that you were not going to send in the first place. Shame on you!However, the other important point is that it was not below 0 degrees Celsius in ********* on November ****. In fact, they had not experienced freezing temperatures yet. So, there is no reason that you didn't send the poinsettia except you probably don't even have any poinsettias.
There is no reason that you cannot issue me a refund. But since you probably won't do that, I will allow you to send my sister another holiday gift basket. She can drop it off at the food bank. This will conclude my business dealings with your company forever.
Sincerely,
