Awful experience
Awful experience. Ordered a potted orchid for my aunt on mother’s day and she received it very late and it was substituted with horrible, wilted fresh flowers. Contacted the store and argued that it was not an appropriate substitute and I was not contacted or notified beforehand. They provided a 30% refund which was still less than shipping. I’ve read multiple reviews since that you do not get what you pay for.
Response from New Jersey BloomsMay 20, 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the poor experience regarding your aunt's Mother's Day gift. We understand how disappointing it is to order a long-lasting potted orchid only to have it arrive late and substituted with wilted fresh flowers. While our substitution policy allows for changes based on seasonal availability to ensure a gift is delivered, we recognize that replacing a potted plant with low-quality fresh flowers—without any advanced notification—fell short of your expectations. We also regret that our initial 30% refund did not feel sufficient given the delay and the condition of the arrangement. Your feedback regarding the appropriateness of our substitutions and our communication has been shared directly with our fulfillment and management teams so we can improve how we handle these situations moving forward.
