Positive | cwalke (19 reviews) | On Apr 21, 2022, cwalke Longview, WA (Zone 8b) wrote: I started ordering my lily bulbs from Faraway a couple years ago and it is pretty much the only place I order lilies from now. The bulbs are ALWAYS large, fresh and healthy, and Ramona usually includes a gift bulb with her orders...a nice touch. She also offers many unusual varieties as well as a great selection of martagons. Best of all, Ramona stands by her product and is easy to communicate with as needed. So happy to have found this seller to feed my lily addiction! |

In spite of closing, I received all but one of my varieties, was sent a gift bulb, and received a partial refund. If she ever revives her business, I will be one of her first customers. On March 23rd, 2016, DonnaMack added the following: Once again I was fortunate enough to order and receive gorgeous lilies from Faraway Flowers. The conditions outside are perfect for planting, the bulbs are large, fresh and beautiful, and expertly shipped. Ramona's communication throughout this transaction is just one more plus. As conditions change, she quickly expands your choices and is generous with substitutions. And I knew exactly when my bulbs were to arrive, so that I could take a day to go around my garden and decided where these beauties are going. Welcome back, Ramona. Let's do this every year! On April 17th, 2017, DonnaMack added the following: Another order of beautiful bulbs from Faraway Flowers. Once again, the bulbs are large, fresh, and gorgeous. I was able to track the shipping so closely that I was home when they arrived. I'm so happy that Ramona is back! On April 9th, 2020, DonnaMack added the following: Another gorgeous order from Faraway Flowers. I don't have a Facebook page, so each year Ramona kindly accommodates me by preparing me a listing of her available bulbs. This year I ordered maratagons, orientals, orienpets, and longiflorum asiatics. I struggle with the wonderful choices, and then simply give in and order to my heart's content. She imports some of her bulbs, so you get selections that are not in most catalogs. And the packing is careful and thorough. I look forward to her selections every year. |

Now in my fourth year as a customer, I have a spectacular collection of lilies throughout my garden. Everyone in the Facebook lily world seems to know who “Ramona” is, the provider of huge, beautiful bulbs! |

From the quality of the bulbs, to her customer service. You can actually talk to her with questions or concerns. Which in today's day and age, has become lost with a lot of other companies. |

One final try. LOVE Faraway Flowers from Faraway Places. Great selection without being overwhelming, excellent communication-Ramona is so knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt in answering e-mail. It's a pleasure doing business with her. Bulbs are A+, and she even threw in a gift bulb of the same quality. She is my first choice for Lily bulbs. A very satisfied customer! |

Exceptional customer service (actually, better than exceptional, but can't think of another word). Healthy, clean bulbs arrived well packaged and the labeling, complete with a color picture was frosting on the cake. It doesn't get much better....oops, yes it does. She also included a helpful guide to planting. |

Shipping was delayed due to inclement weather but it was only a few days. The company offered a great promotion for Valentines Day-- free bulbs with sweet names, depending on the size of your order. What I really liked was this company making available some of the newest hybrids not otherwise available. Thanks Faraway Flowers. |

I received one email saying that the order would be delayed. They do not answer numerous emails. I will never order from them again.
