Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 189 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality of the plants, noting they are healthy, vibrant, and ready for immediate use. Many appreciate the careful growing practices and the wide selection available, making it a reliable source for top-quality plants. The staff is frequently highlighted for being professional, helpful, and encouraging, ensuring a positive experience from ordering to delivery. Reviewers also commend the efficient delivery service, especially when handled in-house, which ensures plants arrive in perfect condition and on time. However, some customers also noted issues with the condition of plants upon arrival, citing instances of broken stems, dried-out cuttings, or plants being out of their trays.

A few other people also felt that some orders contained incorrect plant varieties or that the plants were smaller than expected.

Shipping issue

Similar to last year, the plants arrived somewhat damaged. This year was much better than last year, but there were still around 30 to 40 plants in my order that were damaged/won't make it.

I always love North Carolina Farm plants and their customer service. However, the last 2 times shipping has been an issue and part of the plants have been broken and tossed out of the trays.

Bad Shipping

Plugs were out of the tray and crushed against each other. Many of the plants I received were missing the entire top of the plant (it was loose in the box) or was smashed. Plugs had come out of the liner they were in. I’m assuming this was in regards to the individuals who handling the shipping portion, but all the boxes were labeled with “live plants” and arrows pointing up. Paying a freight fee and receiving dead/damaged plants is not okay.

Items arrived in great condition

This order was put on a delivery truck (Fedex or UPS) so items were NOT tossed around in the box. It always makes me happy when they come this way :)

Thank you for taking the time to review North Carolina Farms! We are glad you've had a good experience and were happy with our plants and customer service! There should be a tracking number for FedEx and UPS, but if it comes on our own trucks that is different. If you are ever unsure about your tracking, feel free to contact the office.

Plants shipped on time and as promised

Plants shipped on time and as promised. Quality good--only lost a few in shipping. Those that were damaged could either be replaced (at a later date) or refunded. NCFarms always responds quickly. Thank you.

Great Company to Order From

Ordering is very easy and all steps are clearly communicated. I never have to wonder what I need to do next. My plants are almost always healthy and if not they are very responsive and take care of the problem. I love ordering from NCFarms.

I did not know package was sent, but that was my mistake.

Good Morning. Past orders I received emails on the order being batched, boxed, ready for shipment....etc. I did not realize the shipment was coming ground. I thought I paid for Second Day shipment. So my plugs arrived and sat outside all knight. It was around 20 degrees outside when I found them the next morning. I went back and read the invoice and it had a tracking number. My bad. Package received sometime Thursday night, Jan 22 2025.

I’ve been buying for years

I’ve been buying for years. Never had a problem except the shipping company delivered a box of plugs upside down and broke most of what was delivered. NC Farms replaced without question when I sent the pictures and email. Great service and beautiful plants.

Plants look great, shipping delays and canceled items

The plants look great, however the arrival was delayed two weeks and one of the trays that I ordered was unexpectedly canceled due to lack of availability, which was disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to review North Carolina Farms! We are glad the plants you recieved looked great.

We checked into what happened to your order. It was first held because it was set for Christmas week. We do not ship Christmas week. The following week it was held due to weather, which was unfortunate given the fact the week before was a holiday. What likely happened was the tray that was cancelled was ready for shipment Christmas week but because the order was held two weeks instead of just one, it got too tall or died. We are very sorry that was your first experience with ordering.

We are a very small farm in our second year. We have only used North Carolina Farms for plugs. Yalls customer service is great and we greatly appreciate your refund and replacement policy when it comes to shipping.
