Quickly resolved issue with dispatch

Amended review following a quick response from the company to a previous review. There had been a delay with an order following being closed for Christmas and the snowy weather - the company responded quickly and professionally when they realised there had been a delay and also gave fast postage as a goodwill gesture. Will definitely be ordering again.

Hello Emma, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Firstly, so sorry to hear your order is not with you. I know we have been closed over the christmas period but that doesnt account for the delay since then. I’m afraid I can’t find an email from you - but would be super happy to get this sorted for you today - would you mind re-emailing us at hello@herboo.com or call us on 0203 8784762 and will get it all resolved for you asap. All the best, Henry

Excellent Service

The seeds ordered were delivered quickly, arrived before the date stated. The packaging makes them perfect for giving as presents, so quite a few people are receiving them this year. I was looking for Teddy Bear sunflower seeds and here they were. Very pleased

Disappointing

Ordered 2 x Grow Boxes to send as a gift, along with an accompanying Gift Message. I even emailed Herboo separately, to confirm they had seen the Gift Message, and would definitely include it. They replied that they had.
However, despite this, unfortunately the boxes were sent without the gift message, so the recipient did not know who had sent them. So it wasn't a very successful gift.

Hello Deborah,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience. We are so sorry you have felt disappointed by the order. We have taken the time to look into this with our fulfilment team and found that the gift note for the order was included on the dispatch note. This being said, we are wanting to improve our gift service and are looking for it to be a separate note in the future so it is more obvious for the recipient. With best wishes, Henry

Great product and amazing customer service

Had a hitch with shipping as they were moving location, but Henry at Herboo was super lovely and refunded the shipping cost as well as compensating with a voucher!
Just happy to have these lovely seeds which my students can now enjoy growing, they love the little mythology references on the packs!
Will definitely be buying from Herboo again :)

Dear Jessica, thank you for taking the time share your experience. I looked into it and you are completely right - it took way long to deliver your order which is not at all in line with our shipping times or how we want to run our business. We've reached out to you directly to hopefully make things better. With my best wishes, Henry

Love these boxes

Love these boxes. We got the sibling box and it was so nice to have small nature based tasks for them to do together. Each box is beautifully designed and seasonal.

Having seen this small business grow…

Having seen this small business grow [excuse the pun] from the seed of an idea [sorry!} I believe Henry's ethic is admirable and contributes greatly and valuably to children's hands-on knowledge of the miracle of life.
Spread the word.

Beautiful products

Beautiful products, in gorgeous packing, which make super presents. My son absolutely loved watching his “baby seeds” grow. The seed combinations, activities and products are so thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend.
