Comments regarding Ad Hoc Plants

I ordered 9 plants from Ad Hoc Nurseries in February last year (2008) at a cost of £51. 3 eventually arrived (over 3 weeks) with an apology that none of the others were available and promising a refund. That was 11 months ago and despite numerous emails and telephone calls, I'm still waiting and still £30 out of pocket. A little less than honest, I think, and certainly not a company I would ever want to deal with again or be able to recommend.

CROOK. Took my money, refused to answer e-mails & phone calls. Never sent plants and never refunded money.

I'm afraid I can confirm the Dutch Nursery's judgement as to the person running adhoc nursery.

I've had a really bad experience with this guy. He sent very poor quality stuff through a dodgy courier that took 8 days to deliver it (over a 250 miles journey...). Four plants were DOA, one plant I had been charged for was not sent and the guy has not replied to emails, nor does he answer the phone.

My advice is: stay well clear of adhoc plants.

I 've found a warning for this company from a respectable Dutch nursery on the web. So it's maybe the best to add this as a comment. //www.pc-nijssen.com/frameset_warning.php
It 's possible though others have possitive experiences with it.
