Pricing and Policy

What consumers will love most about The Bouqs Company is their easy pricing schedule. There are no hidden or confusing fees for a simple bouquet of flowers. Almost all of their flowers have the option of just a $40 flat rate price. This is the price they will see at checkout. For the value and the flowers they are getting, this price is substantially lower than most of their competitor's prices. They provide over 100 different floral arrangements. Each of the 100 plus types of arrangements has at least three different size options available. They also do special event, wedding, and business floral arrangements. They provide their customers with a "Happiness Guarantee" that covers late delivery, quality issues, short vase life, and inaccurate flower composition and/or notecard. They also accept returns within 3 days of delivery.

Freshness

Flowers are cut on the day of delivery, guarantying freshness. The flowers are being cut from high quality farms which naturally rich soil that is kept moist from volcanic snow. None of their competitors can say that about their own flowers.

The Bad

  • Selection
  • Gift baskets

Selection

Their selection is not as large as some of their competitors. They have a limited amount of flower bouquets - around 100. Only about 50 of their bouquets can be delivered next day. None of their volcanic flowers can be delivered next day.

Gift Baskets

The Bouq Company does not offer any selection of gift baskets. Their products are strictly limited to flowers and floral arrangements. There are no candies or fruits available on their site. Their customer service telephone line isn't available to customers on weekends.

The Bottom Line

Although their selection may be slightly smaller than some of their competitors and they do not provide the option of gift baskets, The Bouqs Company is one of our top recommended flower delivery companies. They are more than fairly priced, their product is of the highest quality, and they make the check-out process as simple as possible for their customers. They also have a large following of happy customers; they are highly rated by both customers and the press. This unique take on flower delivery is a definite must-try for those looking to send flowers to a friend or loved one.

I've gotten about 6 or 7 bouquets from the Bouqs. The single order bouquets are WAY nicer than the subscription ones, so I'd advise not bothering with the sub. I'd signed up for sub based on the regular bouquet selection, but then literally nothing I liked was available with the sub, only bouquets that are more grocery store level. I've also had a mixed experience lately with the bouquets themselves. I did a bunch of freesias, and they arrived wilted. The Bouqs was super prompt and easy to work with on sending a replacement, which was gorgeous (anemone and ranunculus). I just ordered mixed fancy tulips and they are ridiculously tiny. I didn't even know tulips could be so small! Some are barely bigger than a quarter, and even the biggest are about 1/3 the size of normal tulips. When I chatted with customer service about that, they were way less helpful and friendly, because the flowers are in good condition. I had to be really persistent and did ultimately get a credit. But they were basically half sized versions of a tulip bunch I'd expect to pick up at Trader Joes for $8.

I contacted you a few weeks ago, but my claim was closed by Marcial, before being solved. I have been the recipient of your flowers, mostly roses, on a subscribed basis, 2-3 years. This is done yearly by my daughter-in-law. I have not voiced my complaints to her, but I feel certain she's ordered many other things from you, as well. I always open the box upon arrival, and prepare the flowers for their containers. My major complaint, during this time, is the musty, moldy odor, which doesn't go away. I wish I could send you this smell. I'm certain you would agree it's very unpleasant. Others are unfresh roses, with signs of drooping heads (that don't always stand up, blooms falling off, as soon as I got them out of the box, the ends of the rose heads are bruised and turning brown. My belief is that her account should be credited for many of these gifts.

I decided to wait a few days after my most recent experience to write a review for TheBouqs company. While I'm giving them a 3 star review, I probably would prefer the option for a 2.25 or 2.5 tops. And that is only because they were very fast in refunding my $83.00 to my PayPal account. No apologies or expression of remorse to my twin 8-year-old granddaughters who were the recipients of the 'difficult arrangement' or me either . . . but the fast refund counts for something including the acknowledgement that there was a mess up on their end. I do think they could use some counseling on how to do better customer service . . . the kind that really helps.

The pricy flowers that I sent as a gift arrived and looked nothing like the flowers I ordered. The bouquet looked like one that I could purchase for less then $10 at my local grocery. I contacted the company and sent photos. I received a $15. refund, while a nice gesture it didn’t begin to make up for the embarrassment of sending my friend such a “ cheesy” bouquet.

Hi Lenor,

Thank you for the review and we deeply apologize that your friend's flowers didn't meet the quality you expected. We're usually known for providing beautiful farm fresh flowers at a decent price and we regret that we didn't live up to those expectations. We always aim to deliver a great experience and we are gutted when we miss the mark. I hope you can give me a chance to make this right and will be following up in a private message.

I ordered 36 pink tulips. The flowers arrived for my wife and they were very nice. When I made the order, I first intended to purchase 18 but the upgrade to 36 was a reasonable price so I splurged for 36. When the flowers arrived I was shorted 5 flowers. I counted them various times and I only received 31. Various other comments had the same problem.

I have a 6 month subscription. Each month I’m sent a photo of the bouquet 💐 to be delivered. I’m disappointed because the flowers I receive are fewer than the photo. I got 7 roses . The photo shows 12. When I complained they told me what I ordered was 12 stems, but they’re apparently counting fillers, like eucalyptus as a stem. It’s misleading to send an email with that photo and send less flowers, obviously customers think that’s what they’re getting.
