Bloomex is an on line flower provided that supposedly delivers all over Canada and the U.S. (same day delivery) rarely happens. Bloomex informs there employee's not to let customers know that there is a glitch in the system and they are charged more after giving the credit card info .

Rarely are the flowers you actually ordered delivered, policy says they can substitute for something of equal value.. I don't know order an Orchid and they substitute it for a pineapple fruit basket ... hardly close to an orchid . but they will say read the policy , we are allowed ..

DIMITRI the owner of the company is refusing to pay me my last weeks pay after I quit on him for deductiong hours that I worked again .. he has the staff deduct something off each and every pay check , if its not 5$ for wrong email addresses its your break pay that you didnt take ...

This morning I was told by Dimitri that If I didnt write a letter of apology to him and the company I would not be getting a pay, he will have to pay me big bucks to lie .. I WILL NOT RETRACT WHAT I SAID .. BLOOMEX IS A RIP OFF COMPANY SCAMMING everyone it can including the employees. I have a letter from head office telling operators not to let the customers know that there is a glitch in the systems and pass the order threw with out giving the customer a final total .. that way they don't have to refund the extra money .. is this honest ... of course not if it was Dimitri wouldnt be doing it .. if you would like a copy of the letter please email me at [email protected] I will be pleased to forward it to anyone and everyone ..

WORD OF MOUTH TRAVELS FAST LET YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW TO ORDER FROM A DECENT HONEST RELIABLE FLORIST THERE ARE ALOT .. YVONNE

BLOOMEX FLOWERS CANADA CLARIFIES DISGRUNTLED EX-EMPLOYEE'S MISCONCEPTIONS

#2UPDATE Employee

Yvonne, it is very unfortunate that your disdain for your recent employer has resulted in you posting malicious, defamatory statements, to which you will be held accountable. We found it necessary to clarify some of your nonfactual remarks, so that your posts included with ours will reflect the correct information regarding Bloomex. 1- PAY STRUCTURE AND BREAKS- Yes, you are not paid for breaks, or your lunch. HOWEVER, you signed a contract BEFORE commencing your employment, which stipulated ALL these conditions of employment. YOU agreed, no one forced your to sign the contract, you had the opportunity to decline the position once your read the terms, but you DID NOT. A) Breaks you did not take -the system records when you log on, make available, make busy and log off. You tried to claim break times on your pay, and you were caught. Consequently, you were not paid for it. B) Your incorrect email deduction- you are given a print out of the incorrect email you have been deducted for at each pay. You can verify for yourself that the emails are incorrect. You make it seem as though Bloomex just randomly picks a figure to deduct off your pay, which is incorrect- you get the list of incorrect emails for your own verification. C) As for SLAVERY -$10 per hour plus bonuses is a respectable pay considering you are working from home and not subjected to typical expenses such as gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, proper office attire, etc not to mention the convenience of not sitting in rush hour traffic, time traveling to and from work, office politics, etc. Perhaps the most ridiculous part of your posts is you claiming breaks are unpaid, you don't get paid to take a pee, you get deducted for incorrect emails (which is done to ensure quality and accurate work ethics), etc, which you knew about before and during your employment. 2- THE INFAMOUS COMPUTER GLITCH- Angela sent the email to all operators, she stated there was a glitch, as it was easier to say glitch to operators, then to attempt to explain a system that they do not know, understand or even have access to. The "glitch" in which Angela referred to is not a "glitch", it's an adjustment of taxes from province to province. Depending on the province which places the order, it default's the tax increment to Alberta, and the tax amount is adjusted after the credit card information is entered, as it processes the correct province of origin's tax amount. So your defamatory statement of Bloomex "ripping off all orders" is false, you made this statement without even knowing the system. Of course, we felt it unnecessary to explain this to operators, as they do not have access to the administration system. 3- PRIVACY POLICY AT BLOOMEX- We want to make this perfectly clear: WE AT BLOOMEX HAVE NEVER SOLD, LEASED, LOANED, GIVEN AWAY IN ANY FORM OR FASHION CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. Our system doesn't store credit card information, and Ms. Yvonne Belanger would NOT know this as she has never had access to the Administrative system. If, Ms. Belanger retained any personal customer information for her own gain or profit, she is violation of the contractual agreement she signed, and the Privacy Act. 4- PERSONALLY ATTACKING OTHER EMPLOYEES- Your malicious, rude comments personally attacking other employees is completely uncalled for. Your immense hatred towards Megan and Angela is unwarranted and unfounded. Your comments are disrespectful, considering no one at Bloomex has ever personally attacked you or your character, you should consider exercising the same discipline. 5- YOUR BEHAVIOR- Yvonne Belanger, you have malevolently and continuously harassed employees at Bloomex. You have repeatedly called our 1-800 number to tell operators they are ripping people off, and that they in turn will be ripped off. You, Yvonne have illegally placed orders with "fake" credit card information. You have retained Bloomex client emails, and sent them deceptive spiteful emails. You post fictitious "emails" from alleged employees and Dimitri, to which you cannot substantiate. You have obsessively posted your dishonest remarks repeatedly. You created this drama over purportedly being underpaid for 3 hours, to which was graciously pointed out to you as breaks, has spiraled into chaotic fabricated allegations and deceitful accusations. The most disturbing behavior is you have uttered death threats to both Angela and Dimitri, you have continuously called at harassed the office, all of your actions have resulted in the police being contacted. The police have advised you that we have had no other choice but to get a restraining order against you because of your unlawful and reckless behavior. 6- CLAIMS REGARDING YOUR PAY- In regards to your claim for your pay, you are not owed any compensation, as you did not fulfill your contractual obligations which you agreed to abide by. We do wish you the best in future endeavors, however you will find it difficult to find employment if you continue to illicitly breach company privacy policies and contractual obligations.
