If the owners cannot manage to respond to inquiries, they could at least have an online system for that or send an email with anticipated delivery date(s). |

For over a week ive called and left messages and sent at least four emails to both of their accounts with no response. It definitely looks like they have not even tried to address their failing customer service issues. I fortunately live in Southern California and as soon as I find an address ill make it very difficult to ignore me when im standing at their door. |

Encouraged that I had at last gotten their attention and had a working communication channel, I was hopeful that they would soon let me know when they intended to ship my order. Alas, they ignored my reply to them and two follow-ups. I've been ordering plants by mail for over 35, and this is the worst experience I've ever had. I'm tyring to give them the benefit of the doubt, but frankly they are acting like thieves - they have $107 of mine and I have nothing, not even information, from them. On July 28th, 2011, tomlwaters added the following: Shortly after my last update, I got an apologetic email from Dave Curtwright, offering to ship my plants immediately and give me a refund for the lotus, which was no longer available. The plants arrived promptly in good condition, and the refund was put through 10 days later. Although I believe that their intentions are good, I will not order from them again, nor can I recommend them to others with a clear conscience - there is no indication that they intend to do anything to fix their customer service process, which is obviously completely broken. Returning phone calls and emails is just a part of running a business, and they don't seem willing to come to terms with that. |

The quality of their plants is good. The quality of their customer service is extremely poor. Before my credit card was charged, my e-mails were never "spamed" and, indeed, I got instant replies. Nowhere do I see the lack of response to repeated PHONE CALLS addressed. Nowhere do I see an apology nor do I see how these grievances (mine and others) are addressed. These are the elements of good customer service which, if instituted, would do away with the negative reviews. The response to this customer's review speaks for itself and my rating stands. On July 13th, 2011, arridgarden added the following: On June 10, I recieved an e-mail via Dave's Garden in which they reiterated that they did not pad profits and requested my order number. I replied on June 12, thanking them for responding, giving them our order number and stating that we would take fertilizer or a refund of the $35.99 for the lotus. Now, over a month later, true to form, they have never contacted us again or sent us a refund or fertilizer of comparable value. So far, they HAVE padded profits with our $35.99. If we should ever recieve our refund, we will let you know, but we certainly would never deal with such unscrupulous and rude people again. Our recommendation is that should anyone order from this company, do not be surprised by the worst customer service you can imagine. |

They NEVER EVER answer their phone and they have not responded to a any phone messages for weeks. At this point I have started calling and emailing to attempt to cancel my order, since it's later in the season now and I can get everything locally, but they will not respond to email or phone. I am concerned that like the other reviewer, they will send my plants after I have obtained elsewhere. |

I made several attempts to contact them to find out the shipping date (both phone and email) and they did not respond. I then sent an email to them to cancel the order and I ordered from another company from which I received timely responses. This company shipped my order, after I had cancelled it, and charged my credit card. I am disputing the charge. |
