Ordering and checkout was easy

Ordering and checkout was easy. My only disappointment was the seeds that could not be shipped to the United States. I understand that it is not the decision of PWS, but still a disappointment.

Hello John, thank you for letting us know your experience. In regard USA orders and shipping this has recently changed again following policy clarifications between US customs and USDA, no laws changed but they got their rules in order. This means we can now ship without issue. For items marked as "cannot ship" a lot of these could be shipped with a small seed lot permit but only the most dedicated of customers want to go through the whole application process. if you do want more info on this please email orders@plant-world-seeds.com p.s we cannot ship tomato or pepper as a starting point for permits! Many thanks

An excellent experience awaits, especially if you live across the Atlantic.

As both a new and US-based customer, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Carol, one of their representatives. Carol was both courteous and very patient with my many questions as we navigated the USDA permitting process to allow a shipment across the pond. As an avid Gardener’s World watcher, my list included many cultivars I thought were out of reach due to all the red tape and restrictions that most companies in the UK and EU just write off as a loss and do not bother attempting to provide shipments to the US. I am very grateful for everyone at Plant World Seeds for both taking the time and courage to keep shipments open to the US and abroad. And more notably, for keeping representatives such as Carol on the roster that are so incredibly helpful and kind. I’m looking forward to the reopening of fruit and veg orders for US customers as they finalize the process, and hope they’ll notify us when they do! I will absolutely be shopping here again as my list will inevitably grow.

Cheers!

- An appreciative American, Ryan D.

Poor germination rate

Unfortunately the two packets of seeds what I ordered was very poor germination rate.
I have germinated lots of seeds from other companies with very high success rates.
I contacted plant world seeds about the poor germination rate.

Speedy Delivery

Ordered a couple of packets of seed as a present, and was thrilled to receive a third packet free as a gift!
The delivery was super quick, would definitely use again.

World Plant Seeds is a wonderful little…

World Plant Seeds is a wonderful little independent company with fantastic products and truly excellent customer service. I’m extremely happy with the seeds I received, they arrived in great condition, well-packaged, and exactly as described. The quality is outstanding, and I’m really looking forward to watching them grow.

Great value for money, and I’ll definitely be buying again. Highly recommended!

No dispatch or response

Order hasn't dispatched after 12 days of waiting and no response to emails to let me know why. Very disappointing service. I wouldn't recommend using this company to order seeds.

Edit
If I had an email to tell me of any delays I would have no problem. They do say in the terms if any issues then they would let customers know.

Extra edit
Yes had the reply yesterday. An email earlier and without me having to get in touch would have been better. As is suggested you do in you terms.

Reply from Plant World Seeds

Customer had a reply regarding this order from a member of staff apologosing for the delay, shortly before writing this review!

The reason for the delay was due to a back log of of orders following our 50% off sale, which went a little better than expected, so some orders were delayed waiting for fresh stock. Alot of our stock is freshly packed to order so sometimes there can be a short delay.

edit- in reply to edit, have you checked your spam folders etc? The member of staff assures us they have replied.
