How does Bloomex Keep Its Prices So Low?

As Canada’s leading florist, Bloomex recognizes the importance of offering our customers quality products at a fair price.  We’re often asked how we can provide fresher flowers at better prices than our online and offline competitors.  It’s actually pretty simple...

The Bloomex “F3” Formula...

1.    Fresh – Our Flowers are “Fresh” because we buy direct from the Growers – unlike most Florists that purchase from wholesalers. Our flowers last longer because the time between the flowers being cut and from when you receive them is shorter.  In addition, to allow our beautiful bouquets, centerpieces and arrangements to last much longer they are delivered budding and ready to bloom.

2.    Fast – Our delivery service is “Fast” – as in Same Day to all Major Canadian Cities.  We own and operate our own production and distribution facilities across Canada, including, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax.  We work with the top courier companies to ensure quality, reasonably priced, on-time delivery. Fast = Fresh!

3.    Fair – Our prices are “Fair” – we buy direct from the Grower eliminating the Middleman, and then pass those savings on directly to our customers.  We are also Canada’s largest and most successful Florist and as such, we have exceptional buying power – again, those savings are passed on to you.
