The Bouqs Co.

The Bouqs Co. ships farm-direct bouquets on a schedule you choose, from weekly to bi-monthly, in three sizes: $48 for 10 to 16 stems, $59 for 20 to 32, and $74 for 30 to 45. Shipping is free on every subscription delivery, which the company values at $25 and which is the main reason the delivered cost beats most florist subscriptions. The independent record is genuinely good, 3.8 on Trustpilot across almost 99,000 reviews and an A+ BBB grade with no unanswered complaints. Two things temper it: a January 2024 settlement with California prosecutors over automatic renewal disclosure, and terms that state all sales are final.

What’s Included

Each delivery is a single bouquet, cut to order at a partner farm and shipped direct rather than assembled at a local shop. You choose the size once and it applies to every delivery.

Size	Stems	Per delivery
Small	10 to 16	$48.00
Medium	20 to 32	$59.00
Large	30 to 45	$74.00

Shipping is included on all three, and the company puts a $25 value on that. Whether or not you accept the figure, the effect is real: the number on the plan page is the number on the card, which is not true of most flower delivery.

The specific varieties change with the season and with what the farms are cutting, so a subscription is a standing order for a good bouquet rather than for a particular arrangement.

Pricing Plans

The three sizes above are the whole price list. What varies is how often they arrive, and the cadence options run from weekly to bi-monthly.

That range matters more than it looks. At the small size, weekly delivery is a $2,496 a year commitment and bi-monthly is $288. Same product, same page, a nearly ninefold difference in annual spend depending on one dropdown. Choose the cadence deliberately.

On value. At $48 for 10 to 16 stems, this is not the cheapest way to have flowers in the house, and we score value accordingly. What you are paying for is scheduling, consistency, and a delivery charge that is already in the price. If the goal is maximum stems per dollar, a supermarket beats every subscription in this category.

How It Works

You pick a size, a cadence and a start date, and deliveries recur on that schedule.

Skipping an individual delivery and cancelling outright are both done from your own account without emailing anyone. That is genuinely better than most of what we review, and it is the main practical defence against the money adding up faster than you expected.

Two things in the terms deserve reading before you sign up. The first is that there are no refunds or returns, and all sales are final. The second is that a discount applied to a prepaid subscription may be reversed and charged back at full retail if you cancel that subscription part way through. If you take a promotional rate on a prepaid plan, the promotion is contingent on you seeing the plan out.

We could not confirm whether a subscription can be paused for a period, as opposed to skipping deliveries one at a time. We report that as undocumented rather than absent.

The Auto-Renewal Settlement

In January 2024 the company paid $240,000 to settle allegations brought by the Santa Barbara County District Attorney, joined by San Diego, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica and Los Angeles County, that it had violated California’s Automatic Purchase Renewal Law.

That statute is specifically about recurring billing: how prominently the recurring nature of a charge is disclosed before a customer agrees to it, and how straightforward cancellation is afterwards. It is the single most relevant consumer law to the thing being sold on this page, which is why we give it a section rather than a footnote.

A settlement is not a finding of wrongdoing, and the practices at issue predate it. Cancellation today is self-service, which is what the law asks for. We flag it because a reader deciding whether to hand over a recurring payment authorisation should have it, and because we would want it flagged to us.

What the Reviews Say

Bouqs holds 3.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot across roughly 98,900 reviews, on a profile it has claimed since 2017. That is one of the largest review bases of any subscription we cover, and it changes how much weight the number carries: a 3.8 across 99,000 reviews is a far more reliable statement about the typical experience than a 4.6 across 200.

Its BBB grade is A+, without accreditation, and the detail that matters more than the letter is that all 43 complaints on file have been answered. In a catalogue where we regularly find companies graded F purely for ignoring their complaint file, a fully answered record is a meaningful signal.

The two sources broadly agree. Flowers arrive fresh and last, the service does what it says most of the time, and when it goes wrong it goes wrong around peak holidays, which is when every florist in the country is straining.

Who It’s For

This suits people who want flowers in the house on a rhythm and would rather not think about it each time, and people sending flowers to someone else regularly, a parent or a partner, where reliability is worth more than the per-stem price.

The bi-monthly cadence is the sensible entry point. It keeps the annual number modest, and it is easy to increase once you know how long the bouquets last in your house.

It is a poor fit if you want to choose exactly what arrives, if you need to pause for a long stretch rather than skip individual deliveries, or if you are price-shopping stems. It is also worth thinking twice about prepaying at a discount, given the clawback clause.

What We Would Do

Start bi-monthly at the $48 size and pay as you go. That combination avoids the prepay discount clawback entirely, keeps the commitment small, and gives you three or four bouquets to judge before increasing the cadence.

Put the delivery day in your calendar so you are home for it, since freshness on arrival is the one variable you can influence.

And treat the no-refunds clause as real. Photograph anything that arrives damaged on the day it lands and contact support immediately. The complaint record suggests they respond, but the written policy gives you nothing to fall back on.

How It Compares

Against The Sill, the difference is permanence. The Sill sends a plant you keep and care for; Bouqs sends flowers that last a week or two and then are gone. The Sill costs less per delivery and asks more of you.

Against Horti, the same distinction applies, with Horti sitting at the lower-cost, lower-maintenance end of houseplants.

Within flowers specifically, Bouqs is the option with by far the deepest independent record, which is the main reason we cover it.
