“Ordered from this company because of lockdown. Despite the high price, we waited a long time for delivery. Wrong product! They are difficult to contact. We wait in hope of a reply from them.”

“I feel better off than some of the other unfortunate buyers but, even so, my stress levels were sky-high trying to deal with this company. No replies to any emails and, as already mentioned, I ran up high bills in trying to get through by phone. I waited patiently for 21 days and then started to wonder what was happening. By 31 days after my initial order, I realized there was something major amiss and escalated my complaint. The company should not have taken on more orders than they could manage: it seems unfair on all the people waiting for their goods to arrive, causing anxiety in an already awful situation. I was lucky enough to have paid by a method which meant I could get a refund quite quickly.”

“A week after placing order I received a letter regarding a discrepancy asking me to phone. The phone number listed was chargeable but this was not acknowledged on letter and after three unanswered calls to the number my regular phone bill had an additional £12 of premium rate calls. When I approached Blooming Direct to ask if they would cover the phone charges they patronisingly wrote that their contact details are clearly stated on their website where there is also a freephone number (but this was not mentioned on the letter!) No product, £12 hard up and 2hrs of calls and emails wasted. Very bad customer service. Avoid!”

“Similar experience to other reviewers. I placed an order on 8/4/20. Chased two weeks later and received automated response to say allow 21 days due to current situation. Tried again after this deadline to be met with nowhere to go. Please can someone help. I only ordered from this site as a result of seeing it on MSE email. I am owed plants or £35 which ever Blooming Direct wish to give me first”

“BUYER BEWARE. Do not buy from this company. Ordered goods on 28/2/20 but 3 weeks later only part of order arrived - after I complained. Never received rest of order. Sent numerous emails - no response. Telephone number - premium rate only and you are left in on hold for ages whilst they take your money in telephone charges and no one ever answers. They owe me approx £80 - sent email cancelling rest of order and asking for refund - no response. It’s a Scam!!”

“BUYER BEWARE! Do not use this company- it’s a total rip off. Ordered on 29/03/20, compost arrived approx 3 weeks later after complaining but no plants. I am owed approx £60 for plants. Sent numerous email but only get automated response and no one answers phone. Sent email cancelling order and requesting refund of my money but no response again. Customer service is non existent. Think this company is a scam.”

“Ordered on the 31st March. Customer service is appalling, they don't answer the phone, they don't reply to emails. Sales staff try to help but even they can't access my account. I was told I might receive my order this week. Terrible service. All other online nurseries have been amazing in the current crisis. Will now contact the retail ombudsmen. Courtesy goes a long way!”

“If I could give zero stars I would. Waited 3 weeks for delivery. Countless emails not replied to. Premium call line cost me £6 to be told wait another 2 weeks and see what happens. Appreciate covid19 is impacting but still appalling. Go elsewhere.”

“Order two trees through wowcher, this was about 3 to 4 weeks ago, never arrived. Some direct to customer services who said Yodel couldn't find me. I gave my contact details to blooming direct who apparently shared with Yodel... no call no plants, requested a refund but no response, plants will be dead by now. NEVER AGAIN will I purchase through wowcher or Blooming Direct”

“DO NOT BUY......Absolutely a disgrace ordered form Wocher 12 plants when they arrived they were dry and almost dead, and to make it worse they were only 1 inch and would have fitted in an egg cup.”

“Purchased 10 raspberry canes, guaranteed to bloom this summer season. Arrived eventually but all dead, despite following exact instructions. I refuse to pay costly 0844 telephone number charges so looked up normal phone number on web site -not working, customer services e mail on web site also seems faulty. Furious as we spent a lot of time and money buying fence posts and wires etc to tie in the canes that all looked pretty dead on arrival anyway. realise this can happen, but why can't the company be contacted on a normal telephone line?? Take warning.”
