“First & last time used - if you order anything else but bulbs or seeds don't use them. Anything that should arrive alive arrives dead or broken because of poor packaging. Genuinely disappointed.”

“Disappointed with the plug plants I received - several dead due to lack of water either not watered prior to despatch or in transit too long. Complained & pleased with response & they are replacing.”

“I received my order a couple of days ago of Masterpiece Broad Beans. If I was only a novice at growing my own veg then I would have found these acceptable and sown them. However I have had an allotment for twenty four years now. On opening the packet I found the seeds to be the size of peas which appeared to be very old and shrivelled. Nothing like broad bean seeds. Very old. I have been very wary on ordering seeds from Sutton’s because of similar problems over the years. A few number of the seeds also had holes in them from insects and were unsuitable for sowing. I have ended up ordering broad bean seeds from another supplier and these are in perfect condition which is as they should be. I have to say that compared to many years ago when Sutton’s were the seed provider to go to, from my experiences over the last years that I have ordered from you your company is living on the reputation of your forbairs.”

“I ordered about £50 worth of vegetable seeds 10 days ago. 11 items in total, today I got a text from Dutton’s apologising but they could not supply the following items, they then listed all 11 pots of seeds I had ordered, I have today been to my local garden centre and guess what, they had near enough all the seeds I need and they are Suttons seeds. Goodbye Suttons.”

“Poor management of customer expectations! I placed an order over 12 months ago. I was informed that the order would take several months to arrive. Several months later, I was informed that they were not going to be able to supply the item at all. I was given a voucher and a refund, which was appreciated. Upon revisiting the Suttons website (a mistake in hindsight) in September, I saw something else I would like to purchase as a gift, which I was infromed would not be ready until just before Christmas, which was ok. Have just received the order, which wrong! C'mon guys!”

“Told one piece of factual information by the customer, then ring the company directly to be told something completely different, I just wish I had read reviews beforehand, they use a 3rd party distribution center and then another company to courier it to the customer, overall experience, will never ever use again”

“Ordered 30 begonia plug plants fire orange in May came end of June as stated, very disappointing as they were lemon?. A lot with no roots just shoots. Obviously sold out of the ones I’d ordered, I would rather of them told me this. To be fair they say they are going to give me a full refund.”

“Bought a special offer of bedding plugs and was informed they had left nursery on Monday, the day before my call. Arrived here on Thursday afternoon in a sorry state. About 50% were non existent in the plugs and the rest were miniscule and on the point of collapse. Didn't expect the Chelsea Flower Show but I thought I could at least grow them on. Ended up on compost heap with about 20 plants salvageable.”

“Purchased Clematis Fujimusume on special offer. Plant delivered on time. However condition of plant on unpacking very disappointing. Compost bone dry and plant obviously stressed, with many dead leaves a some stems passed their best. Will attempt restoration but not optimistic. Would not rush to buy from Suttons again”
