'A handful of little carnations': Customers complain Bloomex's bouquets don't always arrive as advertised - CBC.ca

Marketplace also showed all five bouquets to Don Waltho, a longtime florist and founder of the Canadian Institute of Floral Design (CIFD), a private career college registered with the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, asking him to compare the delivered products with the flowers that were advertised on Bloomex's website.Overall, Waltho graded all five bouquets as a "fail" due to the poor quality and condition of the flowers; he also identified many flowers that were missing or where others were substituted in. ?Bloomex's substitution policy states that "due to our order volume fluctuation, we reserve the right to substitute with similar product of equal or greater value." But with the bouquets Marketplace received, Waltho said that wasn't always the case. He noted all of the greenery in the bouquets was leather fern, for example, what he described as a cheap substitute for the greenery shown in the images."If I was your husband [and] I gave these to you ... you'd say don't send me flowers ... let's just go out for our anniversary, let's go to dinner," he said. "I'm ashamed of people in my industry sending this kind of material out to consumers."Waltho said he worries that the quality of the Bloomex's bouquets could tarnish the floral industry — and he's not alone.Don Waltho, who has more than 30 years experience in the floral industry, graded all five Bloomex bouquets delivered to Marketplace as 'fails' due to the poor quality and condition of the flowers. (Jenny Cowley/CBC)Marketplace shared footage of the bouquets with other retail florists and floral design instructors, specifying only that the flowers were ordered online, without naming the company they had come from."I was actually completely taken aback looking at them," said Becky De Oliveira, the owner of Blush and Bloom Flower Studio in Toronto. "After 20 years in flowers, I was both mortified and embarrassed." De Oliveira has worked in retail shops that offer online ordering and said it was often difficult to meet client expectations and replicate bouquets exactly as advertised, noting factors such as what was in stock and seasonal availability come into play.But she called the differences in the flowers ordered by Marketplace "astounding."Customers are usually not picky about flower substitutions, De Oliveira said, adding she would inform her clients when swaps needed to be made.But she said the substitutions used in the Marketplace bouquets "clearly compromised the design greatly." Marketplace received no notice of substitutions for its orders.Wilting reviewsMarketplace has also tested Bloomex in the past. Since that 2010 episode, dozens of unhappy customers have been in touch with the program, complaining of poor-quality flowers, late delivery, or no delivery at all."I ordered flowers ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/online-florist-delivery-marketplace-1.4913560

City Florist to close Redlands shop after 44 years - Redlands Daily Facts

Reflecting on the past 44 years, Murray said, “When (our parents) bought the business, it changed all our lives.”The family lived in Ontario, where their mother had a professional background as a florist and their father was working at the Chino Institute for Men.The Hannahs left the building and business to their daughters when they passed away.“Dad had a stroke in 2008 and died in 2009,” Murray said. The year 2008 hit the shop hard, she added, “so when Becky took over for Dad she had to learn the bookkeeping from scratch.”The women credited their father’s foresight in purchasing the building to assist with their retirement in the near future.“I am very sad that they are closing. I will miss them,” said Carolyn Ritchie of Redlands, a retired nurse manager and City Florist customer for over 25 years. “I think their arrangements have a wonderful design sense, not just something you can get out of a catalog. Plus, they use the highest quality flowers available.”Beall said the sisters have made many great friends through their customers over the years.“We have always wanted to do the best for these people,” she added. “We go through birthdays, we go through funerals, all aspects of their lives, so they become our friends. It’s not just making floral arrangements. We have worked hard but had fun.”Neither Beall nor Murray plan to leave Redlands after the business closes.“This town is wonderful. Neither of us is moving,” said Beall. “We will be here because our kids and grandkids are here and we are part of the community.”... https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2016/06/24/city-florist-to-close-redlands-shop-after-44-years/
