My order was expertly packaged, individualy wrapped and protected from the heat and being jostled during shipment. The plants were completely unscathed when I removed the packing material. I also received a handwritten note from Don to call or email him at any time with any questions that I might have, and he included complete growing tips and suggestions. I am happy to say all the plants survived and are now happily growing in my home. I will most definitely do business with gosucculent.com again. |

On September 28th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: I forgot to add..I mentioned ordering from GoSucs in the past..if I had left feedback, both purchases would have been Positive. Also, shipping is super-speedy. |

Plants were also shipped when promised. Hope to order from them again. |

The packaging is first rate: never a broken leaf or leakage of potting soil, a tricky feat with many succulents! Don makes sure his customers are happy as you can see by the reviews here. Thank you, Don! |

My dracena draco was on the larger end of the size range given (and already has a nice weathered-looking trunk starting) and the euphorbia (not sure of the variety, it was listed as unknown type) is larger than advertised. Prices and shipping are very reasonable and my order came in quickly and well-packed. Plus a great selection. I will be ordering from this company again. |

My first order was when I discovered what an awesome nursery it IS! Perfect pkging, prompt delivery, Don D Nuzzo has to be the world's most charming, informative and obviously a Master, beyond Master Gardener in this field. They even sell Giant Sahuaro's !! Mind, they take up to 200+ years to grow, I live in Tucson, AZ, so I know. You could not PAY ME to say anything bad about this company, because there simply isn't anything to say but Great Things about them. I assure you, my and everyone's review of this company is completely accurate and if we sound a bit ga ga, it's because the Customer Service is second to none and the plant selection and QUALITY is a dream come true. I find just looking a the pictures a grand stress reducer! Now my succulent garden is a sight to behold, thanks to them! Enjoy yourself and Happy Succulent Gardening, Rebecca Barclay in Tucson, AZ On September 28th, 2008, RSBarclay added the following: Hello again, you succulent lovers, like me!?!! I forgot to mention their SOIL. Yes, GoSucculent.com sells the soil that they grow our beautiful plants in, and for a very resonable price. My last order included just 1 box and when it arrived, in perfect shape (not a leak to be found) I remembered I should've ordered 3! I'm always in agony if I have to go elsewhere (local) and try to fix up soil that's right for the succulents. I've given up on that! GoSucculent soil is the ONLY one to use, you don't have to do a thing to it, just start planting. I use containers, but I'm sure it's the perfect amendment to in ground planting as well. Be sure and check it out. I'm positive if you get just 1 box, you'll be a convert forever, just like I was (am)! PS They also have "cuttings" available now, with clips, for wreaths and decorating, things like that. Check out the photo's To die for!! ENJOY, RSBarclay in Tucson, AZ On October 27th, 2008, RSBarclay added the following: I've recently made 2 different orders once again using GoSucculent as my one and only source! I chose 4 echeveria's and 3 or more Aeoniums and what beauties they are! One might think I have enough, but I ask, how can you have too much of such a good thing? This time I remembered to order soil, 1 on the first order, and 2 on the second. Thank goodness, I'll have to go pot hunting again, sometime soon, as there are some crassula's I'm just dying to have. I may wait until the risk of frost has passed us by, if I'm able to resist temptation, not easy in this case! I keep this site bookmarked on my computer because I always want to get there as fast as possible. There's always something I need to look up, even if it's just how to spell Latin correctly. My garden club buddies have taken to it like fish to water and could not be happier. I only wish I had a project large enough to order their newest, and most enticing offer, a flat of cuttings of all different types of succulent and clips to hold them to topiaries or wreaths and such. It's an exciting idea and the pictures are enough to make one drool! OK, maybe that's just me?? At any rate, anyone who wonders who's the best to order from needn't look any further than a company that gets all positive reviews and comments from repeat customers. I think that says it all! Good Luck and Happy Shopping! RSB in Tucson On November 26th, 2008, RSBarclay added the following: Just wanted to mention how some of my orders are doing now!? The Aeonium Swartzkoph that was in my very first order, back in 2004-5, is continuing to amaze me. I thought it had really done well this spring summer, shooting up a foot and the rosette becoming much larger. WELL! I just looked at it this morning, and suddenly the nearly black rosette is like a dinner plate, with 5 new shoots coming up in that pot. As nothing has ever been in there with it, I can only imagine it's brand new baby Aeonium's!! All my A's, plus Crassula's are doing fabulous, and the echeveria's, well to say the same would be putting it mildly, they're all clumping now = putting out offshoots, too exciting. It's wonderful to get such healthy plants to start with, that with so little effort, one can see my results. Now that the weather temps are dropping, I must WARN YOU, no matter how dry they look, if it's going to freeze, DO NOT WATER!!! It will kill them sure, I know, because I thought mine really needed it, about 2 years ago, and even tho I triple covered them, I still lost 1/2 my collection, totally my own ignorance! I lost my beautimus A=UNamed D, get one, their unbelievable and back in stock now!! Also check out the echeveria dondo hybrid, comes with double heads, not to mention to derombergia (sp) beautiful, loves to offset, also! Special sale of the Crassula Perforata, with 2 large for $8.00, I think, don't quote my on the price, but for two huge ones of that beautie, tis a bargain! Like hearts on a string! Well, just wanted to update on my garden growing like I'm the Master Gardener, when we all know that it's Don D Nuzzo who masterly grows all these gorgeous plants, that make us look SO DANG GOOD!! Thanks Don, once again, for everything you do for us, we appreciate it! I think we should all chip in and buy that guy a vacation, he work's entirely too hard!!!???? What do y'all think???Best Wishes always, RSBarclay in T-town, Zona!! HA HA !!??***************************** |

I got an assortment of jades, and every single plant is very healthy and beautiful. Don put a letter inside saying he was available to answer questions and offer help. That is so nice! The selection, quality and service can't be beat. This was a wonderful shopping experience and I am sure I will buy more from them in the future. If you are looking for some great, unique plants, don't hesitate to buy them here. |

My plants are great - well rooted & healthy - & were packed very well. The company also enclosed a letter with my plants saying they were there to answer any questions or concerns about my new plants any time something comes up. Wow! I will not hesitate to order from them again. On September 3rd, 2008, Nuni added the following: Ordered again...& still very happy! |

I was concerned about temperatures in the teens but it wasn't a problem. Talked directly to Don Nuzzo who enclosed his card in the box when it came. He included the comment he is always there to answer questions I might have in regard to the plants I ordered. Will not hesitate to order again. A good experience for 2007. |
| Positive | PeteMac (1 review) | On Jun 13, 2007, PeteMac Oneonta, NY wrote: I had a bit of a problem with my Paypal acount when I placed my first order with Gosucculents just yesterday, June 12. I telephoned and spoke with Don Nuzzo at the phone number I foud on this web page. I believe Don owns the company. Within minutes he and I were chatting like old dear friends. This man astounded me with his cheerful imnformative personality. He resolved my payment problem for me and took personal charge of ensuring my plants would be shipped within a day or two. I sensed that he was very buzy when he confessed to me he just had a tooth pulled and was in pain. Nevertheless we must have talked about cacti for upwards of 15 minutes.It was I, in fact, who had to terminate the conversation. He invited me to call him anytime if I needed his advice or help or simply just to chat. I am duly impressed with Mr. Nuzzo and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Fockea Crispa plants from him. On June 30th, 2007, PeteMac added the following: I received my Fockea plants from gosucculents,com. They arrived in excellent condition with very plump, well developed caudexes. I am very pleased with them. Since then I have ordered and received 10 more succulents and cacti from them. Each plant was fastidiously packaged with apparent TLC. They were all well rooted, mature and very beautiful. It was my lucky day when I encountered gosucculents.com. Mr. Nuzzo's outfit is far and away the best on line plant store I have ever done business with. I offer my most high recommendation. |

I placed an order today but it turned out the succulents wouldn't survive in my area in the ground. So, I had to cancel. However, they really went out of their way to call and make some other recommendations and were very courteous and prompt. |

They have a great website with accurate photos of the plants. I received my plants in a sturdy box and they looked very good. I potted them and they are growing new leaves and branches like crazy now. This was a very positive shopping experience for me and I will be doing business with this company again. I spoke with them on the phone and they were very nice. They also included an instructional sheet on how to care for your plants if you've not grown this type before. The plant prices are excellent, the shipping isn't cheap but the plants arrive very quickly and is worth it to me to make sure they don't languish in the mail. |

The price was excellent, the plants not only in beautiful shape, but also very well rooted. On January 16th, 2007, houseplant added the following: Order arrived on Jan 13 while I had to be gone for an hour (of course) and it was a whopping 12degrees F. Plants not fazed. Well packaged and what a nice thing to get in the dead of winter! GoSucculents for the winter blahs!. |
