My large plant is brilliant, arrived in great condition and easy to see the quality and care it had been given. It’s already growing more leaves. Very good customer service too. Would recommend

I am really pleased with the quality of my plants. They arrived in perfect condition and extremely well packaged which doesn’t always happen with some other companies. Definitely five star service!

Pretty awful (non-existent) customer service and no tree arrived

**Update 16/7 - Still no contact from Prickle. After reviewing their response here, I have checked my hotmail Junk/ Spam folders, and there is nothing there either. I have also emailed and chased twice more.
The other negative is that Prickle don’t actually have a phone number, so if you want to speak to a human, you’ve got no chance. Live chat in the website also unresponsive.
As all other means of communication seem to be failing, can someone please call me on the number on my emails? It’s only £91, but it’s getting really annoying now.

Pretty awful customer service. Ordered a tree on an overnight service on 29/6. Chased this up on 1/7 as it was showing as collected by DX on 30/6 but not out for delivery on 1/7.
Email to customer service was completely ignored, so I sent another chase up email on 3/7 with the same query as I was worried about a plant lost in transit during this hot weather period. Probably very detrimental to health.
I have not received a response, and it is now after hours on 7/7.
Very unusual way to do business, and no sign of a refund.

Hi Maati,

Thank you again for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry for the frustration this situation has caused, ordering a tree on an overnight service and then seeing no movement for several days is understandably concerning, especially in hot weather when extended transit can affect a plant’s health.

I also want to clarify our communication with you. We first responded to your email on the 1st of July, and we replied again to your second email on the 3rd of July. If those replies didn’t reach your inbox, I’m very sorry, emails can occasionally be filtered into your spam or junk folder. I appreciate how this would have added to your frustration when you were trying to prevent the plant from deteriorating while being delayed with the courier.

If the tree has still not been received, please contact us directly at contact@prickleplants.co.uk regarding this issue, and we can assist further, whether that is arranging a replacement or issuing a refund. We’ll make sure this is resolved for you as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,
Emily

Beautiful Plants

Bought plants for a gift. They were lovely plants and arrived looking very healthy. The recipient was very pleased with them.

Questionable Customer Service

Although my plant was lovely and arrived on time and well packaged, I paid more for a tall plant and when measured it fell into the category below. When reaching out to inform them I have heard absolutely no response. I have emailed twice and used the form on the website and not one follow up. So unfortunately I cannot recommend due to customer service.

Hi Karen,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry to hear that the plant you received did not meet the height you expected, and I completely understand how disappointing it is to feel that your messages have gone unanswered, especially after reaching out several times through different contact methods.

I have reviewed our correspondence and can confirm that we replied to you on the 23rd of June at 15:42pm, and again on the 30th of June at 12:17pm. In both responses, we requested that the plant be measured from the base of the pot to the top of the plant, along with an image of that measurement, so that we could assess the height of the plant received. Unfortunately, we have not yet received a reply with this information. Please check your spam or junk folder for our responses in case they have been filtered there.

If you are able to provide an image showing the measurement, we will be more than happy to review the plant’s size and assist you further.

Kind regards,
Emily

Scam, scam, scam dont order…

Reading through reviews it appears that im not the only one to complain about no order, no contact and no refund.
Regardless of their reassurance to other customers no emails via junk or anywhere else! An excuse for what is no doubt a scam. If you cant produce the goods don't take our money!!

Hi Cameron,

Thank you for taking the time to leave another review. I am very sorry that you are continuing to feel disappointed, and I completely understand how frustrating it is when you believe you are not receiving any updates about your order.

I have checked our correspondence again and can confirm that we did respond to you on the 24th of June at 07:07am, and again this morning at 09:49am, to apologise and to offer either a replacement or a refund so that this can be resolved for you without any further delay.

If our emails are not appearing in your inbox, they may have been redirected by your email provider. Checking any additional folders or contacting us again, including from an alternative email address if easier, will allow us to assist further and bring this matter to a conclusion for you.

We remain fully committed to resolving this and ensuring you receive either your order or a full refund.

Kind regards,
Emily

Hi Sofia,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I am very sorry to hear that your order never arrived and that you felt you were not receiving any replies, I completely understand how frustrating and worrying this situation has been for you.

I have checked all of our email inboxes using the address linked to your order and can see that we have responded three times to apologise and explain that, unfortunately, your order became lost in transit. It also appears that the address entered at checkout did not include a house number, which may have contributed to the delivery issue.

We have already offered either a replacement order or a refund, and we are more than happy to resolve this for you. Please check your inbox for our replies, as well as any spam or junk folders, or feel free to send a new email to contact@prickleplants.co.uk so we can assist further.

Kind regards,
Emily
