Comments regarding Holland Bulb Farms

I ordered for the first time from Holland Bulb Farms about 3 weeks ago (9/28) . I also ordered from Breck's the same day. I received the bulbs from Holland Bulb Farms in about a week, placed another order because I was so happy with the service, quality and value. I received that order a few days ago.

My Breck's order still hasn't shipped.

Holland Bulb Farms will get all my future business! I highly recommend this company!

Holland Bulb Farms made a mistake with my order and then made it right. The quantity per package listed on their website was incorrect. I called them when I received my order. They admitted the error and shipped additional product at no charge to fill my order. They took care of everything for me with no hassle. Also, the bulbs I received were packaged nicely and look great. Based on this experience, I will order from Holland Bulb Farm in the future.

I've ordered several lilies from this company after seeing them being offered at a major discount in early May. Most of the bulbs were very healthy with 3-4" shoots already growing on them, but one of the variety was extremely overgrown with long spiral/circular stems, leaving me no option but to trying planting the bulbs upside down for the shoots to reach above the soil surface. I was concerned for the bulbs having exhausted so much energy growing stiff coiled shoots that were going nowhere. I've contacted the customer service about this issue, and they eventually worked with me on this issue - so kudos for them [Mel] standing by their products. However, I noticed that these are the same bulbs being offered at local supermarkets, with exactly same packaging. Holland Bulbs Farms certainly offers myriad more varieties than my local stores, but I would be cautioned to believe the 65% off discount promotion, as their discounted prices were about the same as the printed "retail" prices at the stores. Overall, I'd say this was a positive experience given that I got most varieties I wanted without having to drive around to find them, especially with the reasonable customer service.

On Sept. 2007 I ordered 240 tulips from Hollandbulbfarms.com and received the order nicely packaged and in paper bags. I let them chilll in the refrigerator until Nov. 8, 2007 when I planted them and by Spring of 2008 my yard was filled with beautiful big colorful tulips. My house was the envy of the block, everyone kept asking if they were fake, they just couldn't believe how perfect they looked. I did not order anything this year, I will wait until next Spring and see how many tulips come out. I'm planning to do a garden in my backyard and am sure I will use them again when ready. I truly recommend them.

I ordered some bulbs for my sister and I used the wrong address. When UPS couldn't deliver because there was no such address, Diane from there 800 number followed up with UPS until they were delivered. My sister loves the bulbs and the quality was far better than she could get locally. I returned to there sight and ordered some for myself.
Great service is hard to come by these days thanks for all your support!

I had to tell someone what awesome deals this company has. I just bought 1 bag of stargazers with 12 bubls for $7.19 regular price is $24 they advertise 70% off. Just click the "deals of the week" link.

Holland Bulb Farms is out of lilies for the year. Check back next spring. It would have helped if they had posted this news on their website.

I placed a small order from Holland Bulb Farms. I received
healthy, strong bulbs. Quick delivery. Will order again.

The quality of the bulbs was great!The price was right and they were sent and received very quickly.What more can you ask of a bulb company?

If your thinking of planting bulbs this is the company to buy from.
Very nice company to deal with.
The people were very helpful and friendly.
Very fast shipping and excellent handling of their bulbs.
They also have specials and discounts.
I will purchase from them again and again.

I am somewhat new to HollandBulbFarms as this is my second season with them (First Spring Season).

I had ordered fall bulbs from them last year (Daffodils, Tulips, Crocus) and they are starting to come up already. They look beautiful thus far and I really couldn't be happier with the service I received.

Two things that I would like to mention is the fast shipping they have. I placed my order on October 16th, and had my bulbs delivered Oct 20th. To me that is really FAST to have flower bulbs from Holland in 4 days.

The other thing is the way the bulbs are packaged- they are always shipped in nice plastic package with a Full coclor photo of the Variety you are ordering. This help greatly especially when you are used to have 15 brown/white bags sitting around with item #'s on them.

Holland Bulbs Farms has been the best online web store I have ever dealt with. This will be my 3rd season ordering various bulbs, waterplants and perennials. The prices are average and inline with all other sites, but the quality is super!

Great experience, ordered on Monday (10.11.04) they shipped my order same day + email a tracking number, received my bulbs today (10.13.04), they look great and now it's time to PLANT!

The helpful staff at Holland Bulb Farms were great and knew there stuff, and their bulbs are of excellent quality. I requested a catalog but they only do business online. Received my order fast and it was packaged great. Would recommend!
