CAVEAT EMPTOR

CAVEAT EMPTOR! Very poor service, disappointed in that order was placed, paid for in full and yet what was actually delivered was 50% of what I paid for. Very poor customer service, false promises of responding in 24 hours etc, unresponsive to web chat. So much for the 100% satisfaction guarantee that Bloomable offer. Folk, place your business where it is respected as a customer.

Hi there,

I’m so sorry for the disappointment and poor service you experienced from us last year. It’s clear we fell far short of our promise, and we take full responsibility.

We’ve taken all customer feedback to heart and have made significant changes since then, especially around our service, communication, and delivery standards.

Thank you for your honest feedback!

Scammers

Stupid me. I used them again after the Valentine's desaster of last year. Yeah, no excuse. This time they did not deliver late, they downright scammed me. Took the money never delivered. Don't answer the phone, don't reply to emails. I will reclaim the amount with my credit card company. Stay away!

Hi there!

I am truly sorry for the experience you’ve had and especially for the disappointment around Valentine’s Day last year. That delay was on us, and we take full responsibility for how it was handled.

We want you to know that we’ve taken all the feedback to heart and have made significant changes since then, particularly during high-volume periods like Valentine’s.

Thank you for your honesty — and again, our sincere apologies.

Failed to deliver on time for Valentine's

Truly not a commendable company - they emailed me at 4pm on Valentine's day to tell me they ran out of flowers and wouldn't be able to deliver while I had ordered in advance. They offered to deliver the day after... still not delivered and I have not heard back from them despite following up. Don't order with these guys, very unprofessional.

Bloomable - Scam artists.

Scam artists.

Placed an order for Valentine's day on 12 Feb 2023.

Was told that the order was accepted and delivery would be effected on 14 February 2023.

At 16h00 was informed that order had been dispatched.

Order was never delivered to the recipient.

Website says that order has been completed however when I emailed them they told me that they're investigating my order not being delivered.

They're not answering calls, responding to emails, no order delivered, no refund.

Please do not use these scam artists.

Hi Warren!

I am truly sorry for what happened last Valentine’s Day. We understand how frustrating it was to place your order and not have it delivered, especially on such an important day.

We take full responsibility and have since made significant improvements based on customer feedback—especially around busy times like Valentine’s.

Thank you for your honesty, and again, we sincerely apologise for the disappointment caused.

Amazing products and service.

The whole process was amazing; simple to order from a great selection, to the delivery from the loveliest person who made sure everything was perfect.

My mother loved the gift and raved about the great delivery service.

I could not rate Bloomable high enough. Thank you!!

birthday gift for my sister…

I ordered a birthday gift for my sister in law and she is absolutely thrilled with it. Fantastic service as well. The gift arrived exactly when they said it would and the gift was fantastic quality too. Thank you so much for helping show her how much she is loved. Its so hard getting gifts to my family in SA because tge postal system is so untrustworthy so I highly recommend Bloomable...xx
