Laurel called me today hysterical she must be way overworked, and way understaffed. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and take her word that my plants went out today, and who knows maybe there will be a follow-up on how wonderful they are. On June 10th, 2010, dangerous1 added the following: Ok...Laurel was not hysterical her feelings were hurt, my bad!!

Being local, I wanted to pick up my plants. After calling and calling, I finally got through and Laurel told me that I could come and get them in a week. She also told me that they'd had trouble in the nursery and half of my plants weren't ready, but should be in another week. I decided not to wait and to go and get half the order, planning to return to get the rest a week later. She explained that she was doing the best she could but that I might have to take some substitutions. |

I said I would like to place an order, and she said she needed to call me back because her computers were being serviced. I received no return call from her, so I called later in the day. There was no answer, and the call rolled over to voicemail. Unfortunately, the voice mailbox was full and I could not even leave a message. Today (Monday, April 21), I tried calling again, and again got Laurel's voicemail, which was again full.

Yes our lines get really busy this time of year and we get about 15 orders per 10 minute period. So sorry I did not get back to you yet. We are taking orders constantly so if you are patient we'll be sure to take good care of you. We offer consultations to each customer and do not rush people along so you may not get an instant response--each customer is precious to us. Many companies just blast throught the ordering process--we don't ; we take our time to be sure everyone is well looked after the old fashioned way. |

The tomatoes did not show up and I had several email exchanges over an extended period before I finally got the plants (had wrong ship date on my order .. running behind on orders .. problem with some employee, order lost ..) . When the tomatoes finally showed up they were over a month late and were three varieties completely different from the ones I ordered. I never received any email about a substitution, which I would not have wanted. To her credit she did completely refund my money when I complained. |
