The box had no vase or water; shipping was $19.99 on the $93.27 total of October 25, 2026; and it arrived in bud, not as the listing photo shows.

Petal TestedTop marks4.9 of 5
Yes, I would say this is a fair price for the amount of blooms and their quality. The arrangement is beautiful and they are holding up quite well.
Yes I would be very happy to receive this as a gift. The flowers are beautiful, healthy, and I love the fullness and design of the bouquet.
Our Verdict on BloomsyBox
Our bar: arrive on the date chosen, match the listing, stay fresh to day 7. Royalty cleared all three. At $93.27 on October 25, 2026, 0.8% under the $93.99 median of our twelve 2026 delivered totals, value scored 5 and the average is 4.9, Top marks. Larissa would rather have it than her same-day 1-800-Flowers order, and probably than her October Bouqs order. Our early 2021 BloomsyBox order also arrived on time and true to the site; Andrew Gaumond scored it 4.7, before the 2026 criteria. It suits senders who can plan ahead and want every listed flower: not same-day, not full bloom, no vase.

Head to Head With 1-800-Flowers

Is BloomsyBox Legit?
Yes. Everything we have paid BloomsyBox for, in early 2021 and October 2026, arrived on time and true to the website. Our early 2021 bouquets and our October 25, 2026 Royalty were still fresh on day 7.
How Does BloomsyBox Deliver?
BloomsyBox ships farm-to-door in a branded box by FedEx, UPS or a regional courier, with no local florist involved. The bouquet arrives hand-tied in paper, as buds, and opens at home over the next two to three days. Our box came by FedEx and was left at the garden gate on October 27, 2026, the date chosen.
Does BloomsyBox Deliver on Time?
Yes, on both of our orders. BloomsyBox has no same-day delivery, next-day delivery needs an order before 2:30pm Eastern, and it does not guarantee a time of day.
What Does BloomsyBox Shipping Cost?
A one-off BloomsyBox order carries a $19.99 shipping fee, which is what our order paid on October 25, 2026. It was the only shipping option offered at checkout. Subscriptions ship free in the contiguous US, and some bouquets add a Saturday surcharge.
Does a BloomsyBox Bouquet Come With a Vase?
No. The bouquet arrives in paper with flower food, not in a vase, and at checkout on October 25, 2026, our order was offered the $29.99 Golden Vase as a separate add-on. Vases run $9.99 to $29.99 as add-ons.
What If a BloomsyBox Bouquet Arrives Damaged?
BloomsyBox asks customers to contact it within three days of delivery, per its Terms of Use and help center, read November 3, 2026. Our order arrived undamaged, so we did not test the process.
Is There a BloomsyBox Discount Code?
We paid with no code on October 25, 2026. Our BloomsyBox coupons page lists any code we have tested in a cart.
First published, around our October 2026 test order: Larissa’s photographs to day 7, her scores on eight criteria, our value score and a 4.9 average. Our early-2021 order joins the order log.
Our February 2021 order joins the order log with its receipt, $126.95 for two bouquets, and Andrew Gaumond’s 4.7, scored before the 2026 criteria.
Larissa moved her longevity score from 5 to 4.5, noting mild wilting in some roses on day 3.
