Comments regarding Vreeken's Zaden

My experience with Ton Vreeken's company are really outstanding!!
They have a great website and a huge collection of seeds and plants you won't find anywhere else...I freqeuntly order seeds and though deliverytimes can be rather long they let you know upfront.They also let you know the phone is of the hook during high-season,but that;s no problem as far as I'm concerned,the e-mails I sent were always
answered in days,mostly even the next day.Never had any problems untill my last order...
I ordered some products and discovered that a few things were damaged during transport.I sent a mail complaining about it and got an answer the next day.The damaged products would be sent again for free.And indeed I received a new package within days time.
So a great service from a great company!

We (a group of gardeners) order at Vreeken.nl for many years now.

We have ordered many different products from a greenhouse, garden-tools till plants and seeds. We are very happy to have found Vreeken.nl. They offer very special plants & seeds that we cant get anywhere else, same goes for many of the garden tools they offer..

Their prices belong to the lowest of the Netherlands.

They are very upfront that sometimes there can be a quality problem with seeds. They ask you if thats the case with your seeds to report it asap. If you report it then they will handle this matter in a very good way. Most of the time we got our money back or we got new seeds. They are always working with their costumers to find a solution that is good for both, if thats not possible they find a solution thats only good for the costumer.
Except for the high season they are very easy to contact by phone and email.

The quality of the garden tools is very high for also very reasonable prices. You will find a collection of garden tools that you can not find anywhere else in the Netherlands.

The shipping costs are sometimes a bit high but thats because the prices to send those goods are also very high. Its very clear to see what the shipping costs will be before you end your order. When you pick your order up at the shop then you have no shipping costs.

In the high season its difficult to make contact with Vreeken.nl. They announce that prominent on their website so thats no surprise. Outside the high season its easy to get in contact with Vreeken.nl, often you are able to speak to the owner of the company. Because of the high season its best to order your seeds,plants and other products very early in the year (January), then you will get your order in time and everything you ordered is still in stock and will be delivered.

Last Kings-day, Vreeken.nl got a visit from our King and Queen (and the royal family) at his stall a the kings-day market 2015. This was shown on the Dutch television. Mister Vreeken.nl can be proud of that!

Vreeken.nl is a very trustworthy company we recommend it to all our friends and family.

I ordered some tropical seeds and had trouble with germination.
After sending an e-mail the owner went out of his way to find a solution without ever pointing blame at me (what I had happen to me with other companies) and replaced them.

I always had swift responses to my mails and was answered correctly with concise and to the point information.

Ps: very nice collection.

So thumbs up and keep up the good work.

Vreeken's Zaden is one of the finest seeds/plants suppliers in Netherlands. They offer so many and their catalogue is ooh so tempting.. I 've been never disappointed about the quality and delivery of their seeds.

I must admit that I have not actually used the mail order service that this company offers. However, I have bought and used seed from them and had positive experiences. I found the quality of the seed to be very good and liked the service and approach of the company.
