I ended purchasing a canna rhizome from this seller last month (Oct 2013) and I was very happy with it. The sale was for 1 rhizome, but i received two fresh big plump fat juicy rhizomes instead. Shipping was fast. Very well packed. Big box. Very generous seller. Thank you sooo much. So one rhizome I planted outside with thick layer of mulch, and one I'm saving to plant in spring juuuust in case the one in the ground doesn't make it. |

I am happy to report having received the seven Lycoris squamigera bulbs I ordered a short while earlier. The Priority Mail package that arrived was stunningly pristine clean; the paperwork including a copy of my invoice, a kindly written "thank you" letter and explicit planting instructions were carefully folded and added to the top of the package contents. Below the paperwork I discovered clean pink colored polyureathane packing peanuts that closely caressed the separately bagged bulbs. Their healthy root systems were kept moist in sphagnum peat moss wrapped & individually labeled with TLC and perfection. |

I must say that I am very pleased in all respects with the product and services received from this company. I received excellent prior notification of my bulbs, so there was no surprise when they arrived. Every bulb was well packed and labled. Planting instructions were easy to obtain and print from the website. Some of the bulbs appeared small, but I will admit that I am not an expert on many of the more obscure varieties I ordered, so I will not automatically assume that they were of poor quality (as it would appear some do here at Dave's). The important thing is that almost 100% have done well and are growing healthily now in my garden. I cannot comment on how well this vendor might resolve a negative situation since I have no problem w/ what I have experienced thus far. I do wonder why the person that has listed the one negative comment here has not tried to invoke the "110% guarentee." I would like to hear if it works. Certainly if I were to ever receive back more than I spent, I would at least change my rating to a neutral, despite any disappointment. I think it unique that in the vendor's apology the words "I was a fool" appear. That is not one I have seen too often. Anyway, I have now placed my Fall order with great confidence as well as expectation. Thank you and have a good day! |
Positive | Tropicanna (12 reviews) | On Apr 24, 2007, Tropicanna Clemmons, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: When what I ordered was unavailable, I was notified as quickly as possible, and refunded immediately. I really appreciated that. I was thrilled that most of the cannas I ordered were in, and arrived in very nice shape. I hope to update the progress as time goes on. The Achimenes I ordered were HUGE, especially for Achimenes, and most were already sprouting. |

Positive | Hyblaean (17 reviews) | On Mar 24, 2007, Hyblaean Necedah, WI (Zone 4b) wrote: I ordered from 4 companies last year, and these bulbs were the least healthy I received; not moldy, or mushy- just not as good. I hesitated to leave a non positive rating, since they were perfectly fine bulbs, and customer service was good, but since I rely on the opinions of others to make my choices... On September 26th, 2007, Hyblaean changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: changing my rating from neutral to positive.. I thought I'd scale these bulbs, since they didn't seem like much and I thought if I messed it up, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Well, the bulbs must have been healthy because I now have tons of babies. I was too quick to judge, and spoiled by the size of other companies bulbs. Evidently size is not all!! |
Positive | bigcityal (11 reviews) | On Dec 10, 2006, bigcityal Appleton, WI (Zone 5a) wrote: The bulbs came as ordered. Planting intsructions were not included or on the webpage which I thought was odd. On Dec 10, 2006, Bulbmeister.com (BULBS4U) responded with: " On Dec 10, 2006 10:54 AM, Bulbmeister.com (BULBS4U) added: Thank you for your positive feedback. I just want to shed light on the fact that some planting instructions are available through the side bar link, "Growing Guide", at my website. I certainly wish it was more comprehensive, but I hope to make it so as time goes by." |

The bulbs were received quickly, and are of good quality. I was pleased enough to place a second end-of-season order (Like I needed more more bulbs?). On March 22nd, 2004, nevadagdn added the following: Little pointy things everywhere! (Mostly tulips-to-bloom). In the harsh conditions in my front yard (xeric/desert), things have to be healthy to survive, and these bulbs are thriving. On June 25th, 2007, nevadagdn added the following: The only things that could make my rating more positive are: bulbs for free instead of me having to pay for them, and a strapping young man to plant them for me, also free of charge. Oops sorry I'm daydreaming again.... |
