Comments regarding Growquest Growers (also dba Olive-Trees.net and Surf & Sierra Wholesale Nurseries, LLC)

Posted on July 24, 2009, updated June 18, 2012
I can't believe any of the recent posts that give Chris Gilcrest a positive rating. I notice that many of them are posts placed the same day as the username sign up so my guess is that he is on this website posting false positives. I joined just now to post a true negative rating. This guy ripped us off of our money, was the rudest person ever on the phone, even before it was stated I was looking for my money back - what kind of a businesss is this guy running. I know he is checking this site based on the positive comments so let me add - Hey Chris, did you notice your HGTV online story is gone - that is what bad business, no let me restate that as stealing people's money, will get you.

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM ARTIST! I placed my order and paid for it in March and have yet to see a plant or a refund. I went around and around with this jerk for over a month hearing about broken transmissions, lack of personnel, and even being cursed at via email (Oh yes, Mr. Gilchrist- I have saved every one of them). He kept telling me that I needed to get my refund from Intuit. I kept telling him that HE has my money, not Intuit and HE needs to refund it. I email him on a daily basis and have contacted the BBB, the FTC, and the IC3. I now have a call in to Catherine Mano of the Ventura CA DA office 805-662-1703 asking to be added to the impending case against him (case # 9:10-BK-16202-RR). I suggest anyone else who has been scammed by him should do the same. This guy needs to be stopped. I don't have the money to throw away on supporting this kind of person, but apparently so far that is all my money is doing.

Growquest Nursery Order date: 4/16/2012. FaxMailOrder_10014631 Buddah's Hand Citron 5 gallon potted nursery tree Product number CtrCitron5 $39.99 Shipping & Handling: $10.75 / Grand Total: $50.74

I purchased a tree to be shipped to FL from Growquest TX or NC nursery trying to be in compliance with the citrus regulation that I had just been informed about in CA. I asked for my money back since it had not been shipped. He said no I will ship it to your CA address. I agreed. Twice he said he would ship the tree and I would have it in 48 hours. The first: Growquest Growers Monday April 30, 2012 1:10pm ended chat. The second: Growquest Growers Thursday May 10, 2012 10:19am ended chat. I contacted Intuit, the payment prepossessing company he used and was told the his account has been cancelled due to numerous customer complaints.

I am told that PayPal has also cancelled his account for the same reason. Christopher Morgan Gilcrest, owner of Growquest,has been reported to Ventura County District Attorney many times. One case number is 9:10-BK-16202-RR. This is not my case number. Mr Gilcrest is a fraud and seems to have scammed many more them myself. Please investigate Growquest and it's owner Christopher Morgan Gilcrest.

His business practices have got to be illegal and he simply must be stopped and caught under ALL of his nursery names

I ordered a Tahitian Sunset Rose plant from Chris on 2/11/2012. On 2/27/2012 I sent him a payment via Intuit at his request. I NEVER RECEIVED THE ROSE BUSH.On 3/23/2012, I called him to ask about the order and he said something about needing a book keeper, but that he would FedEx the plant and I would have it by that Monday. It never got here. Now, I cannot get him on the phone at all, regardless of repeated calls during his stated business hours. Every call goes to voice mail. I called Intuit, who was absolutely of no help, to get my money back. Now, I have started the process of disputing the transaction via my bank. At least I paid via credit card instead of check. I will NEVER order from Growquest again.

I can't believe this person is still in business. He has a new website claiming locations in TX, and NC.

Like most everyone, I paid and did not get anything back. Ordered roses, and after not recieving any delivery, called him several times. Each time he will politely apologize and promise to deliver within a few days. I finally just gave up after several weeks.

I don't know why his company is still around. I believe those "locations" in TX and NC which his company clains are all bogus. Last time I checked, his "nursery" is an abandoned store in Santa Paula, CA.

I don't know what the DA in Ventura is doing letting this person keep scamming people all over the US from Ventura County. He may have a few plants around and able to deliver to some people but for most, he takes your money and that is the end of it. You will not get anything back.

Stay away from Cris Gilcrest or from Growquest.

I ordered 3 avocado trees on Wednesday & they were delivered on Friday. I had a quick response time by Chris when I both emailed and called him. I will do business with him again.
As far as the negative comments, I don't know how some can be so critical about not receiving a refund and then conduct an online business bashing campaign which basically slows or even halts a company's income. These are cruel tactics and not at all constructive or helpful comments & that is why I was able to give Chris the benefit of the doubt. I believe issues in the past have been fixed and the company will work hard to meet any order that is fairly brought forth to them.

I ordered ladybugs online. However in the final bill, the pricing and quantity had changed, reducing the number of ladybugs from 4,500 which I ordered, to 2,500. It also increased the price from $12.99 to $14.99. No one answers their phone, so I left a message. I also sent an email, asking for clarification on the problem. I received a cryptic return email that did not answer the question, nor even address the question. I sent another email, got another bizarre off the point reply that did not address the question. Then I found this website, and I sent an email to GrowQuest cancelling the order. I hope he does. Chris is either a terrible businessman, or as I suspect, a scam artist.

Same saga as so many people, I ordered roses that no one else has (1st clue), paid, and then the long wait begins...

I called to try to find out whay I did not have my roses and spoke with a very rude person. He indictaed they would be sent that week that he was just behind on shipping. After another full week I emailed and was promised that the roses would be delivered in a few days. I gave him another week and nothing arrived.

That was it, I realized Growquest is a sham and does not have the roses or they would have been sent within a month. I filed a chargeback with by bank and was refunded immediately. At my bank's suggestion, I also filed a complaint with Intuit and the BBB.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS when using a credit card! Consumers using a credit card are proected form this type of fraud. But there is a time limit, you generally have 60-90 days (check with your card issuer) to dispute the charges. Consumers always have the last word in the dispute process (chargeack/representment). So if you do not receive your goods or receive poor quality goods, you can dispute the purchase. You will prevail as long as you follow the bank's requirements during the process.

It seems this company's business plan is to create the impression (falsifying a huge inventory and YouTube clips) that he runs a large, professionaly run nursery. As he gets orders he try to fill them, if he can't find the items locally, he just strings you along hoping you paid by check, let too much time pass or just forget about the order.

It seems he runs the business from a house and/or garage, not a nursery and certainly not the one(s) in the YouTube clips. All of the current and past addresses are definately not the facility in the video clips.

The BBB indicated Growquest is in Chapter 7 bankruptcy at the present time. Many business operate while under bankruptcy protection, but taking orders you cannot fill is fraud. I hope his website, which allows this crook to conduct the fraud, it shutdown eventually...

I will never probably ever see the rose I ordered. I am also getting the run around and I have paid for the rose. I paid with my debit card and got an unfiendly e-mail that I had to pay using Intuit which a did about a month ago. Had a bad feeling about the place after the rude e-mail but ordered anyways. I was desperate to get this very hard to find rose that I could not seem op find anywhere else. Now I feel terrible because it is for the gravesite of my frends daughter who died 2 months ago at age 25 of cancer. She asked for this particular rose for her grave before she died. I will keep looking and hopefully this company goes to court someday.

Ordered roses on January 18th. Still haven't received them after several emails, phone messages, and promised delivery dates. This is Chris' response when I emailed to tell him I would be posting on the watchdog:

"WOW WTF. I have written several times. The order will be filled with large rose plants ASAP, I have a very complicated last 3 weeks and that is all I have to say about

I received this reply on March 30th and still no roses. Guess that speaks for itself.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

A truly horrible company and an equally horrible, liar named Chris Morgan Gilcrest. I iniatially ordered roses from him in early February, after numerous calls and emails he sent the roses soaked in water with advanced root rot and dead feeder roots. It has been vertually impossible to communicate as no email or phone calls are returned. I will stay on this poor excuse of a scam artist until I get the replacement roses promised, a refund, or I just take this unethical individual to court.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

The worst plant supplier I have encountered. They are quick to take your money, but do not ship the products. When you try to follow-up, you just get the run around. Just one big hastle and waste of time. I would never patronize this business EVER again!

I ordered a Sir Priz Avocado from Chris on Sunday April 22, 2012. The owner, Chris emailed me letting me know the tree would be delivered by his driver on Tuesday evening.

Tuesday: No Tree, No Call, No response to emails. I wasted my Tuesday evening waiting for this schmuck.

On Wednesday after emailing Chris again I was told the Tree would be delivered on Thursday. I received a lame excuse about why I did not receive a response and I was given the name and phone number of the driver.

Thursday night I received a call from the driver. He was in Sacramento. The driver sounded very scatterred, and told me he did not have a Sir Priz Avocado on his truck.
I emailed Chris asking him to call me (He will not return phone calls)....and Chris told me the delivery was delayed by rain (It barely rained today...slight drizzle in the am). Chris then said the driver was too far behind and the next time he would be in the area was next Wednesday. Another wasted evening.

When I cancelled the order and told him I would be posting about my negative experience, Chris could care less, claiming there are more buyers than trees.

I then looked up Growquest on the Internet and saw all the negative reviews. OH MY GOD.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM GROWQUEST.

READ ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ABOUT GROWQUEST. THESE NEGATIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME.

I must admit that I am very happy that I had not read or heard anything negative about Growquest before placing my order. My Mom had talked about a hard to find rose she really wanted. The only source that had exactly what she wanted was Growquest. I placed my order and based on the small order size, I was directed to a separate payment site via email invoice. Not a problem, actually good tracking in that way. Paid and promptly received an email letting me know when my Mom could expect her shipment. It arrived exactly when promised - expertly crated and actually was a far superior product than expected. I've even received a follow up email confirming that we were satisfied - and yes, we are - more than satisfied!! The full experience has been exemplary. Professional with a friendly, personal touch... No complaints whatsoever!!

We purchased several plants from Growquest Gardens. The first was a bareroot rose and we were satisfied with the delivery time and condition of the bareroot. We later ordered 2 more of the same roses. They were sent as potted plants because of the time of year. The one rose and several buds beginning to open were yellow and the rose we had ordered were to be a pale pink. We e-mailed our complaint and we were assured that if the roses, when they were opened, were still yellow they would be replaced--until we were satisfied. It was rainy when the roses arrived and several days-a week-in the sun the roses turned the pale pink we had expected. The company was responsive and helpful and we would recommend this company. Our roses are healthy and lovely.

Special ordered 4 Sunny Knockout Rose Trees. Chris said he would ship Friday and I would get them today and they arrived right on time. The box is more like furniture and I expect the kids to use it as a boat or spaceship. The trees were very well wrapped- moist but not wet. I have never received roses packed better. It is too bad others have not had a good experience. I order A LOT of plants online and this was as good any anything I have ever bought. Price was still less than a local garden center but no one had sunny knockout trees last year and I just had to have some!

I ordered a rose bush for my mom for Mother's Day in 2008 and she did not receive it. You might call me a little crazy, but I've been working on getting a refund for 4 years. This includes complaints to the BBB, law enforcement, and others.

I only want to add one comment to all the NEGATIVE comments that have been posted that are all so TRUE and well written! If Chris speaks.....he's lying! Everything he says is a LIE. I ordered roses for my mother's 80th birthday, 6 weeks in advance. She never received them and the check has been cashed. How cruel to be so deceiving about a mother's birthday present. SHAME ON YOU. CHRIS. Wish I would have read all the reviews first.

THIS GUY IS NOT RELIABLE- READ HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE SECTION ON HIS OWN WEBSITE. I wish I had read all the negative reviews before I mailed the check (after speaking to Chris on the phone and believing him to be honest) for two bareroot roses that I will probably never see. My check was cashed in January. When I called him in February to see why the roses hadn't come he said he thought I had canceled the order (2nd red flag, 1st red flag was when he insisted on a check after I tried to pay with credit card). Then he said the roses would come that Friday. They didn't, another phone call another promise... three rounds later it's March. I've emailed, I've called. I get no answers and as far as I'm concerned THIS GUY STOLE MY MONEY. I don't think he's intentionally a bad person, just an incredibly flakey confused individual. Either way, DO NOT SEND HIM YOUR MONEY.

December of 2010 I had ordered 6 different variety of roses from Dave and sent out a check payment of $169.49 for the roses since he informed me that there was an issue with using paypal or a credit card machine. Instead of listening to that little inner voice that said do not do it, I sent the check. I had ordered the roses in hopes that by my wedding in June 2011 I would have a few rose buds to add to my wedding in my hair and what not. Well by February there were no roses so I called Dave and was reassured I would get my roses and he would include one extra for all my trouble. In March still no roses and Dave gave me the excuse that someone had stolen his laptop and all the information was in it, then the excuse that his account had been hacked and he was in distraught over his personal trouble but he had no issues depositing my check. In April Dave quit returning my phone calls and ignored my calls and still no roses. So finally in May of 2011 I contacted the BBB and filed a complaint against him/ his company.
I was later contacted by the BBB out of California and informed there is an open case against him and his company through the Attorney General's office. So now everything is in the hands of the judicial system in California.
All I have to say is buyer beware do NOT purchase flowers from this man. He has every excuse in the world as to why he can't get your flowers to you.

I found a Black Baccara rose on the Growquest site over a year ago. I sent a personal check to this man ASAP really excited about the bush. Never came for months. I called and talked to Mr. Gilcrest personally.He seemed rude, asked if I really paid him and said too late in the season for bare root roses now. He said I needed to buy a potted rose now. I was like what ever, I will pay the difference. He said OK I will send it to you and you can send me the difference when it gets there. Well it never came. I called again and he again was rude and implied he did not take my money. He claimed he had no record of me and now I needed to prove I really sent the money and made the order. I told him I would have to dig up the copy of the cashed check. Then he sent out a mass E-Mail claiming his life was terrible and he needed help. So I encouraged the man to get it back together, to try to breathe a little easier and when you feel better send me the rose and or the money back. Months went by and I seen the man was still operating as a plant provider to others, so I E-Mailed him and asked what is going on? He replied that I needed to send a copy of the invoice and the cashed check to him and he would send the rose next season. Totally insane, but I sent the info and thought great in a couple months I will have that Black Baccara I have been waiting a year for. Well I still have not seen my money or the rose bush. I sent another, final E-Mail, stating that he had stolen my money for over a year now and I wanted a refund or the rose bush ASAP. I also attached the copy of my cashed check again to prove I had paid him over a year ago. No reply and no rose bush. He stole my $40,00, let me sit here waiting for a year for a Black Baccara Rose, and forced me to put a bunch of time and energy into this matter. That is what I really resent! My family and I deserve better. He has drawn this out for over a year now and it has become very personal now.This man does not have the right to run any type of business anywhere in the world. He is immoral and has no ethics. Please do not order product from him until we members post that this man has dealt with all the folks he has already stolen from.

I did receive the 6 rose bushes that I brought from GROW QUEST (plus Chris gave me 1 free) and I received them basically when promised. The 3 Milwaukee's Calatrava that I order was 1 TWIG with some new growth on it although the roots look long. I would expect a below standard grade rose bush at a bargain price but I paid 19.99 for each rose bush. The rose bushes that I rooted myself late last year look better than these 3 Milwaukee's Calatrava. The 2 Golden Shower and the Mustard and Ketchup Rose Bushes rarely passed the grade but they are decent. These roses have not grown, no sprouting, no nothing so hopefully they are in dormant from the shipping. Stick with your local nursery, department store, home and garden center etc... because I surely will!!! I can't wait to replace the Milwaukee's Calatrava with another shrub rose.

I only discovered recently the Dave's site, which is why I'm only relating now my experience with Growquest from 2010. Hopefully, it will help other people.

I sent a check to pay for my order which was $333.96 in 2010. He asked that I send the check first, then he would inform me of the shipping costs. He deposited my check on 6/4/10, but I didn't hear back from him, nor did I get my order. Eventually I asked that he refund me, threatening to get the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Department of Agriculture involved if he didn't. His only response (email) was: "Well it would be better for you if I was to ship it. The proper place to complain to would be the BBB, in any event." He said he would call me a few days later to get my credit card info to finally ship the plants. That was September 26, 2010 but I never received anything, despite the $333.96 check he used.

Ordered 5 roses in December. I am very disappointed in myself that I did not read the reviews before using Growquest. Would never have ordered from them. Was promised shipment the first week of January. It didn't happen. After emails and calls, was told that they had been shipped. Wrong again. Didn't happen. It is now February 6th and multiple emails and phone calls and still no roses and many promises and lies. Don't know who is giving him positive reviews, must be his friends. If you want good service and an easy transaction, do use them.

I ordered and paid for a little cado tree in July of 2010. Here it is, the end of May 2011 and still no tree. After numerous phone conversations and emails over the last 9 months, I still have no tree.

Chris, if you are reading this, I would like a refund of my $72.00 or the little cado tree you promised me last year. Every communication with you is a lesson in conniving and lying. You make excuses... I don't care about your family issues or your marriage or your divorce... this is business... or did you use my $72.00 for your wedding? If you can't supply the demand, stop indicating you can. Stop taking money from folks who could spend it elsewhere and actually GET the merchandise they've purchased.

Today is May 23, 2011. If I don't hear from you in 24 hours, I will be another victim filing a complaint with the District Attorney.

I've never actually ordered from this company, but I can say that after reading Chris' response and threats of legal action, I will NEVER order from this company. I do not understand how ignoring and then threatening your customers with legal action could ever help improve Growquest's image/reputation. And all of those Positive posts do seem very suspicious, as they all seem to be the only reviews those "people" have ever left. Chris, you cannot ignore and then threaten your customers & still expect for people to want to order from you. Very bad business practice in my opinion.

I ordered 16 roses from Dave (Owner of Growquest) and was promised delivery on Jan 8 or 9, 2012; they did not arrive. He kept pushing the delivery date out. He finally gave me Fed Ex tracking # - only 6 of 16 roses arrived Jan 24th. I complained, he told me other box was delivered to wrong customer and would be here late Friday (Jan 27th) - they did not arrive. I sent e-mail & he replied telling me to "chill dude" they're on the way. I sent e-mail back cancelling remainder of order, called my credit card company (Chase) and they took immediate action to refund the money we paid for the 10 roses that were not sent. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

Sounds like if ANYONE wants to FURTHER attempt a purchase with this company... I certainly wouldn't based on all of the NEGATIVE comments... They just MIGHT CONSIDER USING their AMERICAN EXPRESS card! There are just too many businesses out there that because the economy is the way it is now (2012--THIS kind of STUFF happens!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered an Improved Meyer Lemon tree and some praying Mantis egg casings in May 2011. Order confirmation made it apparent that I couldn't get the praying mantis eggs. No prob. I sent $42 for the tree. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I emailed several times and finally got a response eluding to some legal issues that apparently involve his children. I sympathize, I do. But this was a business exchange, not a charitable donation. January 2012 and still no response to emails or phone calls. I would very interested in contacting whatever DA I need to so that I can get my tree or my money. Terrible service. I will never buy from them again. Buyer be ware!!!

I ordered, and paid for, an avacado tree from Growquest Nursery on January 29, 2011. The check I sent as full payment was cashed. Numerous phone calls have been made and many, many e-mails sent, most with no response. I have provided copies of the original order form and copies (front and back) of the cashed check to prove that I ordered and paid for a tree. The few responses were very apologetic, and I was always assured that my tree, or refund, would be sent. It is now November 9, 2011...I no longer receive responses to my inquiries, I still have no tree and I have not received a refund. It's hard to believe that Growquest Nursery is still taking hard earned money from others. I strongly recommend that no one do business with this nursery!!!!

September/October 2011 Read all the negative comments about Chris and Growquest and it's hard to believe we're talking about the same guy. I know Chris has been through some tough personal times but he is now in a healthy and loving relationship which has changed him, as it does us all. Chris created a garden of cold tolerant avocado trees for me, (6) from 15 gallon to a 45 gallon tree. He also put in a citrus garden of a blood orange, a meyer lemon and a satsuma mandarin. In addition he planted 10 bouganvilla which are thriving and beautiful. I have already picked 3 avocados from my Zutano tree and they are huge. Watching him plant all of these was a real education and one I'm hoping to benefit from in the months ahead. My experience with Chris has been very positive and I woud recommend him to anyone who wants a little more than your average nursery experience.......Expander

Contacted Chris after seeing his YouTub videos. I wanted a Lamb-Hass and a Reed Avocado tree to compliment my Hass' in order to get near full year avocados. He delivered to Santa Barbara the next day, and the trees are great (both have fruit on them) and he was both courteous and full of excellent tips on growing the trees. I will be getting a few citrus trees from him in the near very future. No issues at all. I recommend his nursery.

man this bites i wanted to buy a 5n1 citrus salad tree!!
does any one know a reputable company where i can order such a tree or simular one that can be shipped in ca usa?

Chris and I emailed back and forth over 50 times answering all my dumb questions. He gave me great advice on planting my second Lamb/Hass successfully. The first one i killed with Miracle grow.
He is a bit hard to nail down on delivery day/time but he made it right with discounting my second tree even though I killed it. I think that is good business. I would buy from him again.

I live in Simi Valley, CA. After checking out the website, my wife and I decided to order two trees from GrowQuest. I emailed my order on 8/29/2011 and received a call that evening . We had ordered a 15 gal Washington Navel Orange and a 15 gal Sir Prize Hass Avocado. The prices were good and the delivery charge was very reasonable. During the week I had asked if he knew when he could possibly deliver the trees, he indicated he was targeting Saturday Sep. 3rd. He showed up right on time as promised with both trees. The trees were in very good shape and we moved them into the backyard. I explained to Chris that we were having real problems getting trees to grow on our "hill". He looked around for a few minutes, asked me a bunch of questions and then proceeded to explain everything we had been doing wrong. He explained how I could correct several of the issues and showed me how to do several things, we even took a few videos. Our experience with Chris / GrowQuest has been a very positive experience and I would use him again.

I wish I had found this site sooner so I could have avoided sending my money to this fraud!!! In early May after several emails to Growquest about best varities of olives to grow in Hawaii I ordered $301.86 of olive trees for immediate shipping. Chris sent a thank you for the payment email and said he'd send a few extra trees to try over here.

Needless to say, it is now Sept. 3, and all we've received from Growquest are a few emails. No trees, no refund. Clearly neither are forthcoming and it's time for legal action.

Please save yourselves the money and headache of "doing business' with Growquest. We learned the hard way.

I order some olive trees from Chris almost a year ago and didn't recieve them. I understand that Chris has had some problems with his life but I believe he is trying to get back on track. Chris contacted me a few days ago about my order and has has delivered the trees that I ordered with an additional tree as payment for my long wait on that order. I think Chris is really trying to get his good name back by slowly making good on his promises.

I have worked with Chris for more than 4 years with great experience and courtesy from him. I was new to gardening and did not have good knowledge to take care of the plants. Chris has educated me tirelessly to make sure I am comfortable working with my plants. The plants I ordered from him mostly are rare tropical plants. Although Chris did not have them at the time I needed, he took time to find the plants for you. He selected the high quality plants for me. The quality of his plants is superb. When the problems were encountered, he took care of the problems for me as soon as he could get into them. I am aware that he is always busy working with many large orders. I sometimes had to wait for the order, but I understood the situation and his limitation and was willing to wait for him. When I called his office, I learned that my plants were there and Chris wanted to take care of my order by himself. I appreciated his time in caring my plants and my need. Often time he sent me pictures of the plants before shipping them out to make sure that I was satisfied with them. When the plants arrived, they were as what I saw from the pictures. If there was any problem, he sent me replacement.

His price and services are superb for me. Unlike some nurseries I used to work with in Texas and Florida. Their plants stayed for a short time and died or they are not growing. When I called or sent them an email informing them of the situation, they just said sorry or never heard from them again.

We are in the East Coast. I am glad to hear that he will have a new location in the East. It will help us to get pants faster. I also love his new marketing strategy and education he puts up on Youtube and Twitter. I continue being his loyal customer. I ordered many plants from him for resale every year. My customers love his plants and they keep coming back.

Satisfied with my purchase and the service. In mid-July I ordered a #15 Lamb Hass avocado tree that was delivered without a hitch. After purchase I received an e-mail from Chris offering follow-up assistance in the event I needed it. Don't think I'll need it as I have made extensive use of the planting and care video clips on his website.

When I placed my order, I was aware of the negative comments posted on Dave's Garden but decided to take a chance just the same as no local nurseries could get the #15 Lamb Hass for me.

I had a very positive experience and I would order again from Growquest.
