“Ordered 8th April. Paid for. Still waiting. Opened a support ticket twice without any help. Asked for refund, no reply. I've ordered plants in the same period from other online companies and received without problem. Learned my lesson. Will never deal with them again.”

“Impossible to get hold of them, phone disabled. Took my money early April, no plants of course, what a company! It also sounds as if the plants are absolute rubbish, what can anyone do?”

“Placed an order on the 12th April, got confirmation through and money taken out. Still no plants. No response to the ticket system. Tried to cancel order, can’t get through to anyone at all and messages ignored. Looking at the comments below, I’m going to attempt to get the money back through my bank. Wish me luck!”

“Even allowing for lockdown, an order that was showing delivery within 5 days has taken over a month and the first order arrived and half the plants were damaged. They were packed tight on top of the others so everything was snapped off/broken. I'm not sure they've actually sent the right plant either. I have submitted two tickets - they no longer take phone calls - and weeks have gone past with no reply. No idea if I'll ever get my second order and clearly they don't care the first one was delivered in such bad condition due to the packing at their end. I would not use this company again.”

“it has been 5 weeks since I ordered nearly £200 worth of plants that have still to arrive. They dont respond to emails, to ticket queries, have no telephone number and appear in no hurry to refund my or even respond to my request to refund. I placed my order on the 10th April and it is now the middle of May. Nothing, no communication, no response no nothing. DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM.”

“I placed my order on 14th April.Have tried to contact them by email ,they do not reply.There is no way of contacting them to find out the state of my order.Shocking customer service,this company should be investigated.”

“Still no plants or response to my inquiry. I got a message to say my plants are in transit nearly a week ago. So they’ll be dead! Yet you’ve taken £80 and not responded to my request for a refund. Dreadful business that should be reported even in this situation- clearly can’t cope with orders but don’t care if the money keeps rolling in”

“Order initially placed 5/4/20 and money taken immediately. Plants eventually delivered 28/4/20 and were mostly dead. They had initially removed the function to be able to contact customer service, this has since been reinstalled but I am still awaiting a reply from 2/5/20. Incredibly disappointing quality and service.”

“My order took 3 weeks to arrive and I understand that, however the rose bushes are dead (I mean stone dead) the tubers that I planted have not produced a single plant!! The worst part of this is that there is no way to get hold of them... SHAME ON YOU Garden Express. Come out of hiding and face up to the absolute rubbish you are sending out and for taking people for a ride! Don't go near them.”

“No sign of any goods or communication from Gardening Express. My credit card was billed more than 40 days ago. It is unfortunate that some firms like Gardening Express are exploiting the public at what is a difficult time for many during Covid-19.”
