Well the end result is that the plants still haven't turned up and so I sent them an email to cancel the order and ask for a refund. This they told me they would do and I now have the refund.. The point is I contacted them several times and each time I was given a different dispatch date so I now have to wonder if the plants were sent at all.

I placed an order with them just before Christmas. In January I contacted them... "Where are my plants, you debited my money the day I ordered!" I was also annoyed that their system did not send out a confirming email (so be sure to capture the order details from the screen). They didn't answer my email for a week. By now I was very cross as I order online all the time and this was the worst treatment I'd ever had. Then I got an email apologising and saying that the plants would come out that week. No explanation, but they were coming. Anyway, here is the important part: When the plants arrived they were FANTASTIC quality and they were very well packaged. I bought their smallest economy collection and I was overjoyed. I even had plants to spare and had to give some away! It was worth the wait. The quality was so good (and the cost so low) that I will order from them again. However I am going to be ringing them up - not emailing - right after I place the order, to push for a delivery date. Because of the excellent quality I would recommend you order with them again - but only if you have time to chase them so that your order does actually arrive! -- Flash Wilson -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- rant Outlook - Tools - Options - Mail Format - Plain Text Quote properly.

Well some excellent service for a change. I faxed an order to Green
Line Aquatic Plants on Tuesday, quite late in the evening. Within minutes I had a call from them as part of the fax wasn't readable. We sorted out the order and it arrived this morning. The tank now looks great. I know where I'll be ordering plants from in the future.

Well my Green Line plants arrived on-time, we took a while sorting out the
order, but all was OK. The advice given on the phone was OK too. The plants most were excellent - the Echinodorus Tenellus was a bit bedraggled but there was much more of them than I had expected.....In any case they will probably die off a bit before they start growing because of the upheaval that they have endured. All in all - a good response, good plants for reasonable cost. Packaging was OK too and they were delivered cold (as it says on the box - perishable goods - keep cool). |
