Azalea Japonica Tree, Order number...

AI Highlights
  • - Delivered Azalea Japonica Tree arrived in a crushed box, plant sad with flowers dropped.
  • - Seeking guidance on reviving bloom to full state.

Azalea Japonica Tree, Order number #026-227****-624****.was delivered to my home on Friday 12 June. The box which contained it was heavely crushed and the plant looked very sad with many of its flowers having dropped to the bottom of the box.

I have placed the plant outside in the sun in the hope that it would bloom again to its original glory. It still does not look its best. What can I do to get the plant to bloom again to its full state?

Failed to deliver / Terrible service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Terrible service, failed express delivery, and canned email responses.
  • - Refund promised after weeks; still not received.

Gardeners Dream is a Gardeners nightmare.

Terrible service - total waste of time.

Unable to contact them by phone, but they do respond by email (with an impersonal canned response)

I ordered with express delivery - produce failed to arrive on time.

Contacted Gardeners Dream who replied with a canned response saying that product was damaged by courier and asked if I wanted a refund or re-order.

I asked for a re-order and waited another week - nothing.

Chased Gardeners Dream again who replied with the exact same canned response saying that product was damaged by courier and asked if I wanted a refund or re-order.

This time I asked for a refund, having order the product elsewhere.

They replied to say: Please allow up to 3 working days for the refund

Still waiting.

The whole experience was a total waste of time, which will become an even greater waste of time if I now have to dispute the transaction with my card issuer.

User's recommendation: Avoid Gardeners Dream is a Gardeners nightmare.

Ok. Honestly.

Just avoid this seller at all costs. It's been an absolutely disgraceful experience. 2 orders placed. 2 days given for delivery.

2 failed deliveries. 2 cancelled orders by them, after the delivery date. 2 lots of completely incompetent dialogue with the seller.

And at the end of it all. I have no product and no refund.

Wrong product

AI Highlights
  • - Customer ordered clear polythene sheeting but received opaque packaging; requests replacement.
  • - Customer asks about winter-flowering clematis.

I placed an order for clear polythene sheeting and when I came to open the package it was opaque, not clear. Can you contact me about replacing it with clear? Also, I am looking for winter-flowering clematis if you have any.

Preferred solution: Replace with clear polythene.

AI Highlights
  • - Call attempts were refused after leaving an email.
  • - Citrus limon plant ordered for 25-26 Mar not delivered; only 'sent' update with no delay info.

Tried to call after leaving an email message. Call refused and waiting for an explanation as to why my order for a citrus limon plant was promised to be delivered on 25-26 March, but still has not been delivered. The only message I received from Amazon.fr was that my order had been sent off, but I never received any further info as to whether the delivery would be delayed or not, or delivered or not.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
