Anyone had any dealings with this lot?
I signed up ages ago and have only just realised that I haven’t received any of my three orders dating back to 28th February.
The only reason I remembered is that they sent an email trying to encourage me to place yet more orders.
It seemed like a good idea at the time - but three months is a loooong time to wait for a few plants!!
They pop up on my fb feed as a suggested post from time to time. Never had any dealings with them.
Sorry to say they always looked to good to be true.
Apparently they are part of Lavenderworld and Yorkshire Lavender, both of which get equally bad reviews.
Oh wow they are some bad reviews!
Sod it!!
Should’ve read the reviews!
Oh well!
A fool and his money …….,
Her money I mean!
Well ... a success for me!
After countless emails, I have managed to get them to refund me for all three orders.
It wasn’t a vast amount of money.... but .....I didn’t want to be seen off.
It has taught me two valuable lessons:-
1. Read the reviews before placing orders
2. Keep a note of all orders that I place and chase them up when they fail to arrive.
They were OK 3 years ago when I ordered from them. Back then they only sold £1.99 plants and they were mostly in good condition on arrival. They sent me the wrong variety of helenium but refunded me when I contacted them (they would've sent a replacement but it wasn't in stock). On another order, one plant was dead on arrival, which they refunded. I haven't used them for years now they've turned in to this plant/wine/chocolate/dog food/gift hamper/paid membership hybrid mess, looks like they've overextended themselves.
