The issue I have with this company is in instances when I need to contact them. If one has an issue with an order, then good luck finding a resolution. |

I clicked on "enlarge" for the photo, and I swear, it looks like it's been Photoshopped! Amazing. Who'd have thought a plant seller would get soooo weird? Check it out. See if you don't agree. //site.mawebcenters.com/accentsforhomeandgarden_1/catalog_i11634001.html?catId=292137 The picture has been Photoshopped. I've moved beyond disappointment. I've reached disbelief. I guess it takes all kinds. |

However, several weeks went by without any communication from them. When I contacted them, asking for an order update, I received a curt response saying that filling orders usually took a few weeks. When my order finally arrived, again without any communication, 1/3 of it had been cancelled. They didn't charge me for the missing plants, but the lack of communication was irritating. |

My most recent order arrived quickly, and although the plants were smaller than I've gotten from them in the past, they are healthy and very well packed, as usual. However, a few months ago I ordered a Columnea Fujiyama from Accents. Since I hadn't had one before, I assumed it was the correct plant. A couple of months after I got it, it bloomed one bloom. I saw that it looked nothing like a Fujiyama bloom, so I posted it here, and was told it was indeed not a columnea, but some sort of x-Codonanthe. I looked at the link the person provided, and sure enough, they are correct. I was sent the wrong plant. Well, I like the plant, but did nevertheless want to let Accents know of their mistake, so I emailed them. I was very cordial, and told them that even though it was the wrong plant, I would still do business with them. Well, I never even got a reply to my email. I had expected them to offer to send me the correct plant, or at LEAST to apologize for their mistake. I didn't get either one. Never even an acknowledgement of my email. I was very disappointed. I realize mistakes can be made, but I feel this was very bad business for them not to even bother to reply. Even though they have very reasonable prices and healthy plants, I'm not sure if I'll order from them again.

The order was processed very quickly and the plants were nice sized and healthy. It was wonderful to find so many of the uncommon plants I was looking for in one place, since shipping is so expensive these days. The prices were great too! |
Neutral | magnaastra (49 reviews) | On Apr 1, 2009, magnaastra Charleston, IL (Zone 6a) wrote: I'm not sure I will order again, unless it's something I can't find anywhere else. I ordered several tender herbs from this company, which were shipped to my midwest location during a period of below-freezing temperatures and snow [which had been forecasted well before the actual shipping date]. Also, this shipper sent my plants later in the week, which meant that they were left in an unheated postal depot over a weekend. Some of the plants were DOA, while others showed very definite signs of lack of water/light/exposure to freezing temps, but I think with a little care those will pull through. The owner did tell me to ship the plants "I didn't want" back for a refund, but, by the time I pay shipping, it won't be much of a refund. Buy with caution. On Apr 1, 2009, Accents for Home and Garden (Pepper's Greenhouse) responded with: "On Apr 1, 2009 8:29 AM, Accents for Home and Garden (Pepper's Greenhouse) responded with: When packed and shipped the 4-5 day forecast was above freezing, weather changed slightly to 28-30 degrees, the plants did not freeze, but some were dry. Offered the buyer to return plants that were damaged for a refund, which will include all costs returning to me. I am waiting for the plants." |

Our system will still take the order but it is showing you that you may have to wait or receive a refund. We strive to keep the numbers current, but with live plants, that can change daily as not all plants in a group are of shippable quality. If we feel the wait is long, we issue a refund." |
