Fall plantings are planted and growing

Everything I have ordered for fall planting arrived safe and sound and in excellent condition. It is all planted and growing in our warm October weather. I get a little nervous when I see that my plants and bulbs are being shipped by USPS. USPS is not the most responsible shipper of anything, much less live plants and bulbs. It is always a relief when I get my package.

I ordered in early October and you…

I ordered in early October and you still haven’t shipped it out yet, I have not received an explanation for the delay, just another possible ship date. I need to get them in the ground before winter. My research says they should be planted in October. So could you possibly put a rush on my order?
Thanks in advance

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service! Product not shipped as expected. Instead, they kept changing the shipping date further out. Ended up canceling the order.

Reply from Breck's

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry for the frustration caused by the changing shipping dates and understand why you chose to cancel your order. The majority of Breck’s items ship from Holland, so delivery can take additional time. Because we work with live plants, occasional nursery-level issues with rootstock can also affect availability and delay shipments. For this reason, we provide estimated shipping windows rather than exact dates. We understand how disappointing this can be when you’re planning your garden, and we sincerely apologize that we did not communicate these potential delays sooner. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

Non user friendly software

We have ordered amaryllis from Breck's every Christmas for years and love your plants. This year's free shipping is much appreciated as well. I further appreciate that you archive previous recipients and addresses, relieving the tedium of entering them manually. Other than that, however, your user interface is a web of confusing pathways and dead-ends: shoppers who wish to check on their cart are unable to toggle back to browsing and must start the process back at square one; the recipients' files are mysteriously populated with a bevy of unwanted items, all of which must be unselected; the page for confirming one's order simply displays the number of items and the total price without identifying those items.
This last "feature" means that the shopper risks receiving an email confirming an item which may have been browsed at some point but was not the final selection, as in my present case. On the bright side, the email does identify the item (one of the two being ordered; the second is included in the sum payable although not apparently "confirmed") While it may be useful to spot the anomaly early, I now must write a lengthy commentary and plead to have this erroneous order canceled.
I have six more recipients' orders loaded in my account. How will I be confident that the "one item" going to them will be as intended? I will try to reach a human operator, as obliged to do sometimes in the past, but that also does not streamline the shopping experience.
But for being as convinced as I am of the quality of Breck's products, I might well have taken our custom elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by our website’s confusing navigation, difficulty returning to shopping from the cart, unwanted items appearing in recipient files, and the lack of item details on the order confirmation page. We understand how concerning this is, especially when placing multiple orders for loved ones. We’ve sent a request for additional information; please reply to that request, and we’ll be happy to look into this and assist you further. We truly appreciate your continued loyalty to Breck’s!

Beautiful and great quality plants.

I’ve always had a great experience with Breck’s plants, and this time was no different. The plants arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. I look forward to to planting them and seeing then come up in the spring.
