bad experience with J.Parker bulbs
"gogo" wrote in message ... Hi, Just a piece of warning in case you were thinking ordering from J.Parker dutch bulbs: I ordered online mid-September. First, they charged twice my credit card! I had to call their customer services at least 3 times to finally manage to get my money back. Then, they had apparently misplaced the paperwork of my (remaining) order: it took 6 weeks to finally arrive now. I know there's still plenty of time, but I guess Daffodils would have been better off planted earlier. I just unpacked the order: bulbs are in a very bad condition: some are mouldy, some are rotten, some have dried off. For example, I ordered 5 erythronium: 2 out of 5 are completely rotten beyond recovery. My guess is during all that time, my order was ready to go and kept in non-ideal conditions. Also, I think that the tulip bulbs are of a very small size compared to what you can find in Garden center. The reason I ordered there was mainly a question of choice: I wanted some bulbs I could not find locally, but I it's certainly going to be the last time I use them! Philippe, Edinburgh Yep likewise, we have had a few bad experiences, however a quick call to their customer care has always resolved the matter. Usually ending up with some freebies to boot ! Col |
