I ordered flowers in the amount of $75.13 on the morning of February 26, 2023 to be delivered the same day. I received a notification the flowers were delivered which they were... to the incorrect address. After requesting a picture (proof of delivery) multiple times, I finally received it the following day and it clearly showed the incorrect house. I sent Bloomex a ****** Maps picture of the correct house (which included the address from ****** Maps) and they would not acknowledge there was an error made by the courier until February 28, 2023. They have offered a credit or flowers of an equivalent value to which I have refused.Business Response

We take quality issues very seriously and seek to provide fresh and beautiful flowers at all times and for all orders. As per order ********, order was delivered on February 14th, the initial complaint received on February 19 stated bad quality. Our customer service agent advised customer on the policy, due to the perishable nature of our products, we only accept complaints regarding quality/composition within 24 hours following the delivery date.
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.

Feb 14, 2023- I ordered flowers, vase and a card for my Daughter for Valentine's **** I paid $***** for same delivery. I called customer service to add her unit number (as there was no place to add online) They stated delivery would be by 8 pm that evening.I also gave them my phone number to call if she wasn't home and would arrange to leave at concierge. 8pm came and went and the package was not delivered. On Feb 15/23 the order updated to "out for delivery" I called customer service and stated I paid for same delivery and wanted a refund for the delivery as it was not delivered when it was supposed to be.The man said I'd get a refund. Feb 15 at 730pm i called back to inquire and asked to speak to a manger as the package had still not been delivered.they told me to call back Feb 16 as there was no manager available. I called back and after several minutes on hold and getting disconnected. I spoke to ****** (supervisor) He refused to issue a refund for the ***** same delivery fee I already paid.and offered to "re deliver at no cost" They actually charge another fee to "re deliver" I said that wasn't acceptable and its been 2 days since the flowers were supposed to be delivered. I said I want to cancel the order and want a full refund.I paid for products and service that were not delivered. He said someone would get back to me. When I asked when -he said" 24 hrs". I asked to speak to his Manger -he stated he's the supervisor Worst customer service I've ever experienced.Business Response

As per our records, the order ******** was placed on 14th of February without the unit number. During Valentine's *** week we were unable to apply any changes to the orders. Delivery was attempted, however, phone number of the recipient ********** was unreachable and security refused to take the order in.
As of now, order returned to the warehouse. 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.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The product was not delivered on the date specified . The notes on the account to contact myself if the recipient wasnt available were not followed. Offering to re deliver the product is not an option I am willing to accept. This was for Valentines Day. It now Feb 19. I do not want a store credit as I will never shop with company again. I will accept nothing less than a refund. As far as them stating its already been put together, I certainly wouldnt accept flowers that have been sitting in a warehouse sinceFeb 14. So I guess theyd have to re do the order. So it seems pretty easy to refund.

I had my Valentines day order delivered and opened it up to see my order incorrect. I had ordered extra long stem roses, which per the listing on their website are supposed to be 70cm. The flowers delivered were barely 30cm. When I contacted customer service ********************** stated that their policies allow for them to not deliver what was ordered. In what business is it ever acceptable to deliver provide a completely different product than was ordered and call it good??Bloomex has offered a $30 credit to their site for the inconvenience. There is no world where that even comes close to making up for the ***** they are committing. Order number *******Business Response

Purchase was made online on February 7, 2023. The order number is *******. Details of the advertised offer are per ******** document titled "Purchase - Extract from website". Flowers that were received were broken, petals falling, greenery turning brown, flowers were tied with a zip tie, three broken heads and no card as advertised. Several attempts to contact the company have failed. They confirm that they have received the emails with ******** photos and that someone will call back and then when I follow-up, they say they have not received the email. They refuse to put me through to anyone that is able to resolve and they keep giving conflicting information.

I am rejecting this response because:I read bloomex policy , it states if there is a change it should be within the hour , I placed order and called 5 minutes later when I noticed address issue . I am aware valentine *** is a very busy time , there was no help what so ever with adding the correct address. Beyond that I had paid the extra for EXPRESS delivery times 9am-12 noon the next day, when my flowers did not arrive by 12 I tried to live chat and I was flat out ignored. I have screen shot to show this. I had to leave for work by 1pm so it is now 9:35 at night Valentines *** , I finish work at 11 pm , my daughter did NOT get flowers today as I was unable to deliver myself due to ridged staff. She had a heartbreaking break up a day ago so I can not put into words how gutted I feel!

I ordered flowers on February 9th, 2023 and it is now February 13th and still the flowers have not been delivered. I have called customer service, and used their live chat asking for a full refund.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:a 20 store credit is not sufficient. I would like a credit to my credit card. The order still has not been delivered - it is now 5 days late beyond the order date. I could understand a day or two late, however 5 days it totally unacceptable. The delivery area is not the customers problem and if this was an issue I should have been notified that the order would be 5 days behind what was promised. I should have been told this at the time of delivery.
I would like my credit card credited 50% of what the total amount was.
