Good Afternoon Mr Jhonson,

We are truly sorry to hear that your potato sets arrived with the chits broken off. They do regrow and you can plant them without chits. We also understand your concern regarding the courier, and we regret any past negative experiences you've had. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Problems with courier

Recently ordered some cabbage plant plugs and I was pleased with the prompt service and delivery. Plants arrived in OK condition except that around half of the plants had come out of the container. The plants appeared to be well packed and the packaging was clearly marked with "Live Plants with an arrow to keep upright. However the company dealing with the carriage obviously did not take any notice of these instructions as around half of the plants were loose within the package, and had been carried up side down at some time. Fortunately, due the short time these plants were in transit, no real damage was done to the plants and they have now been put back where they belong prior to planting. If they had been more delicate plants the result would have been more damaging.

Packaging needs to be improved…

The plants were badly packed with the result that the boxes were crumpled on arrival because the was too much empty space in the peculiar "double-decker" box arrangement. I have planted them but one is looking a bit sorry for itself. |I'm hoping it will recover.

Good customer service

Compost did not arrive promptly; after a week I enquired where it was and a replacement was sent out. Eventually both original and replacement orders arrived, so all is well. I appreciate responsive customer service when things go wrong.

Cauliflower delivery

My delivery from you of 12 cauliflower plants was completely damaged. The box was crushed, and all the plants were destroyed. Even though you packed them well. The delivery driver obviously couldn't read English. The box had fragile and live crops written in huge letters on it. If this is the standard of your delivery services. I'm sorry to say, that I won't be using you in the future for all my seedlings and plants ready for next year's planting. I did ring your delivery services, and all I got out of them was. Oh. Well you'll have to ring the supplier about that..
I think you might want to change your delivery service, if you want to continue with online delivery's or you will probably be inundated with complaints like mine.

Regards.

Mr Martin Nettleingham.

Good Morning David

We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed however, I can see that you were not charged postage on this order and also used your £10 gift voucher for poor quality plants you have received in the past.
