Marina del Rey flower company founded in 2012, shipping farm-direct bouquets on subscription and as one-off gifts.
The Bouqs Co. was founded in 2012 and trades from Marina del Rey, California. Its BBB file gives a business start date of 17 September 2012. The model is farm-direct: bouquets are cut to order at partner farms and shipped rather than assembled at a local florist, which is what lets the company sell a recurring flower delivery at a fixed price.
It sells both one-off bouquets and subscriptions, and the subscription is the part we rate.
In January 2024 the company agreed a $240,000 settlement with a group of California prosecutors, led by the Santa Barbara County District Attorney and joined by San Diego, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica and Los Angeles County, over violations of California’s Automatic Purchase Renewal Law. That law governs how a company discloses recurring charges and how easily a customer can cancel. Anyone considering a recurring flower delivery is entitled to know that the recurring part has been the subject of a regulatory action.
Its terms are also unusually firm for the price point: “there are no refunds or returns” with all sales final, and discounts applied to a cancelled prepaid subscription may be reversed and charged at full retail.
Against that, the independent record is good. Trustpilot sits at 3.8 across almost 99,000 reviews on a profile the company has claimed since 2017, and BBB grades it A+ with every one of its 43 complaints answered.
Scale and consistency. Very few flower subscriptions carry a review base approaching six figures, and fewer still answer their complaint file completely. The farm-direct supply chain is the reason the price holds steady rather than tracking local florist rates, and free shipping on every delivery removes the charge that usually makes flower subscriptions more expensive than they look.
Farm-direct flower subscription from $48 with free shipping, a huge review base, and a 2024 auto-renewal settlement to know about.
