Something Funny Going On Here.... Wanted to use Blooms Direct for our wedding flowers. We met with the wedding coordinator and liked her idea, but in order to receive a proposal with a price estimate, you have to pay a non-refundable $100. Weird. This is not the norm. We went ahead and paid it with the promise of a proposal in a week. Long story short, two months later we still did not have a proposal. They said the lady we met with was in the hospital, but only told me this after I went into the store to inquire about our proposal; no one was going to tell us to expect a long delay in receiving the proposal. Funny thing was, apparently they don't have another person in the place who can put together a proposal, but they had someone to take the check to the bank... The whole situation just seemed strange and like something was off. I would say that they were very good about giving us our non-refundable deposit back. We have since moved on to somewhere else, but if you want to use Blooms Direct, I would flat out say no to the $100 deposit and stay on top of communication with them.…
Terrible Con. Not only were the flowers overpriced - they then started to deduct an automatic debit from my bank account claiming I had joined their Blooms-Direct club, which I had not. Beware if you purchase anything from these folks.…
Great Bouquet.
I wanted a bouqet of flowers with Alstrameria (i have no clue how to spell it)...mixed with other random flowers. I just told them to have fun with it and do whatever they wanted and gave them a
price range.
My wife got the flowers at work at the time i asked to have them delivered and she loved them. she sent me a picture. they looked great.
She got them last Friday. Today is Monday, and they still look good.
Thanks for the positive shopping experience!!…
Wilted Mother's Day bouquet!.
Saturday, the day before Mother's Day, I returned home to find a large bouquet of flowers on the porch. The card read "Happy Mother's Day" from my children who live on the West coast. I was
thrilled, but surprised to see 15% of the flowers were wilting and limp. Flowers were obviously well past their peak. I immediately emailed a photo thanking my children. My daughter was astonished the bouquet looked so bad, certainly a poor cousin of what she'd ordered.
I would not have accepted the delivery had I been home, being perfectly happy for my children's sentiment. I just feel bad they spent so much for a poor product!…
