First time ordering from this company. Order constantly got delayed. Not sure if this place is a scam (hopefully not) but ultimately cancelled my order.
UPDATE: I contacted Stark Bros per their response to my review. Hopefully a better resolution comes forward.

Hi, I’m really sorry for the frustration and that no one has returned your call yet — I completely understand how upsetting that is, especially when you’re waiting on your trees and bushes.
I’ve checked on your orders, and both have been shipped (on 4/9 and 4/13). That said, you absolutely should have been able to reach someone, and we apologize for that experience. I’m having a customer service agent reach out to you directly as soon as possible to make sure everything is addressed and to provide any updates you may need.
Thank you for your patience, and again, we’re very sorry for the delay and inconvenience.
Absolute Joke of a Company
I'm beyond pissed. I ordered Mid February and it is now Mid April with only a few things delivered that I ordered. Everything was "ready to ship" when I ordered. Everything keeps getting pushed back. With what I have ordered, it's a joke. I can't believe so many Youtubers recommend these people. They must be heavily compensated to say good things because I have nothing positive to say. I bought my first house at the end of last summer. I was so excited to plant my first trees and fruit bushes/plants this spring. They have completely ruined that experience for me. I will never order from these people again.

We’re truly sorry for the frustration and delays you’ve experienced and we understand how disappointing this must feel, especially when you were excited to get everything planted this spring.
At this point, roughly 60% of your order has already shipped, and our team is actively working to get the remaining items out as soon as possible. Some of these plants have not fully rooted yet, which is necessary to ensure they arrive healthy and ready to thrive. That said, our management team is currently working closely with our growing and shipping teams to see if we can have the remaining items shipped next week.
We sincerely regret that this has impacted your experience, and we truly appreciate your patience as we work to make this right.
Thank you
I want to personally thank Stark for resolving my problem. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is they need to become more transparent regarding why orders are delayed. It would immeasureably improve customer satisfaction. They were more than fair with me. Willing to give them a second chance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be when plants don’t meet expectations.
I do see that you’ve been in contact with our team regarding your warranty claim, and we’ve worked to provide replacements where available. As part of our warranty policy, we offer a one-time replacement, or if the item is no longer available, we’re happy to provide a refund or store credit.
It also looks like a replacement order was created for you, and a payment link for the $9.99 shipping fee was sent at that time. Since the payment wasn’t completed within the 48-hour window, the order was automatically canceled. We are still waiting to hear back from you on some of our previous messages so we can continue assisting you.
We’d be more than happy to help resolve this for you—please feel free to reply to our last email or reach out to us directly so we can get this taken care of.
Thank you again for your patience, and we look forward to assisting you further.

They dont deliver by when they say they will
Im so very disappointed with Stark Brothers. I ordered a Golden Delicious apple in order to put my grandfathers Cremains to rest per his request and had invited all of the family from out of town to plant it together. The delivery date was pushed back three times. I called their office a week before the tree planting was scheduled explaining the situation and was basically told "yah, sorry, cant really do anything for you" I went to the local nursery and bought one there instead. The day after everyone left they delivered the tree.

We are truly so sorry for your experience, and even more so for the circumstances surrounding it.
We can only imagine how meaningful this moment was for you and your family, and it’s heartbreaking to hear that we let you down during something so deeply personal. The delays and the way your concerns were handled are not reflective of the care and support we strive to provide especially in situations as important as honoring a loved one’s wishes.
You deserved clear communication, urgency, and compassion, and we’re very sorry that you didn’t receive that from us. We also regret that the tree arrived after your family gathering had already passed—that timing matters, and we understand why this was so disappointing.
If you’re open to it, we would truly appreciate the chance to make this right in some way. I am going to reach out to you directly.
I ordered a Bushel and Berry Raspberry…
I ordered a Bushel and Berry Raspberry Shortcake variety of Raspberry for my container garden. This was the very first time ordering from this company only because the plant I wanted was a bit expensive elsewhere. I ordered last Sunday while they were having a free shipping promotion.
Well, the plant arrived today and it was not as expected. I was expecting a slightly larger plant. Also, they triple boxed the plant; one on the outside, a smaller one on the inside that held the plant, and another that was around the plant. Both the outside and inside box were badly damaged, and the tiny box the plant was put in was badly damaged. I did appreciate how they wrapped the plant pot in plastic to keep the soil from spilling, but they also didn't secure the box that was around the plant and it nearly fell out of its box. Thank God my husband has quick hands.
The plant was damaged with yellow/black leaves that I had to snip off. I'm not even sure if it's going to survive but I am hopeful.
I should have read the reviews prior to ordering. While I am going to try and save this plant; I do hope that Stark Bros can refund my money for the excessive damage that the plant sustained. Will never order from this company again. I sent pictures and emails to the company, as well as wrote multiple reviews to help make others aware to avoid this company.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly so sorry for the disappointment and frustration this caused, especially as this was your first order with us and something you were excited to add to your container garden.
What you described is not the experience we want for any customer. We take great pride in the quality of our plants and in how they are packaged for shipment, so hearing that the boxes arrived damaged and that the plant did not meet your expectations is genuinely upsetting to us. That is simply not the standard we strive to uphold.
We did carefully review the photos you emailed, and we want to reassure you that while the plant experienced some stress in transit, which can sometimes cause yellowing or cosmetic leaf damage; it does appear to be healthy overall. With proper care, watering, and a little time to acclimate, we are confident it should recover and grow well for you. We truly hope it thrives in your garden.
A full refund has been processed, and you should see that reflected soon. Your satisfaction and confidence in ordering from us matter deeply, and we appreciate you taking the time to send photos and reach out so we could review the situation.
We sincerely hope we may have the opportunity to earn back your trust in the future. If there is ever anything more we can do to help, please know we are here for you.

We’re truly sorry for the frustration this caused, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your order timing and the lack of proactive communication are not the experience we aim to provide.
Some orders placed in the fall can be affected by inventory availability, weather conditions, or shipping safety concerns, but we should have communicated those cancellations clearly and promptly rather than requiring you to call for answers. For that, we sincerely apologize.
We value your business and would welcome the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our support team directly so we can review your order details and assist with a resolution. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention—it helps us improve.
First I will say that several years ago…
First I will say that several years ago when I purchased from Stark Brothers it was a good experience in that the fruit tree's arrived when promised and grew as they should. Now, I am sorry that I wasted my time. I ordered 2 fruit trees in August with a proximate delivery date of late Oct. to early November. I received an email saying that they would be shipped a little earlier. Then when that date came, I received another email saying that the trees did not meet their standards and so would not be available. They offered substitutes which were not acceptable. To me they oversold and I lost a good time to plant for next year. They were not honest and upfront. They offered me a credit on the account but I insisted on a full refund. Now reading all the other bad reviews, it is obvious that they are not what they once were. Buyer beware, stay away

We truly appreciate your past business and are very sorry to hear about your recent experience. This has been an especially challenging growing season here in Missouri, and some trees unfortunately didn’t meet our quality standards for shipment. Please know that our intent is always to protect our customers’ success by sending only trees that are healthy and ready to thrive.
We understand how frustrating it can be to have planting plans disrupted, especially when you were looking forward to adding new trees to your garden.

Unreliable shipping time …
We'll see how the plants look if/when they arrive. Order placed 09/27/25 with estimate delivery 10/06/25 sent after order placed. As of 10/10/25 and smiling the company , tracking says the plants are on the way. I ordered plants down a different company (that didn't have the exact plant species I wanted this time) and the turnaround from order to plants received was 48'to 82 hours (from an equable travel distance).

Seven months later and still no delivery – empty promises and auto-closed tickets
I placed an order with Stark Bro’s back in March 2025 for two trees. The order confirmation stated delivery the week of March 23, 2025.
It’s now October, and the one tree still hasn’t shipped. The estimated dates have been pushed from March to July to August to October, with no proactive communication, and every inquiry I’ve made was met with copy-pasted, robotic replies before my support ticket was closed without action.
Even worse, the tree I did get requires another tree for pollination, meaning it’s completely useless without the other. Stark Bro’s continues to list the same item as “available” for new customers while claiming mine is “backordered due to grower standards.”
If Stark Bro’s truly holds their growers to “high standards,” they should also hold themselves accountable and stop selling products they clearly can’t deliver.
This has been one of the worst customer experiences I’ve had with any nursery — long delays, canned responses, no transparency, and no ownership. I’ve since requested a full refund and filed a complaint with PayPal and the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.
Buy elsewhere unless you enjoy waiting half a year for excuses instead of trees.

I had a great experience with Stark Bros! They responded quickly to my inquiry and handled everything with care and professionalism. When a few of my plants didn’t thrive, they stood by their warranty and promptly sent replacements—no hassle at all. It’s rare to find a company so committed to customer satisfaction.

I give ONE star (rather than zero) because they finally (after 5 months!) refunded my order. This is after I already contacted my credit card company (after the "bros" failed to respond to multiple emails from me).
Bottom line: I ordered a couple of trees from them back in the winter. They kept not shipping and not shipping. I had emailed them multiple times and they had not responded. then I contacted my credit card company.
well, now (several months after the original purchase) they have stooped to email me and say they have refunded the order.

We're very sorry to hear about the experience you had and truly regret the frustration it caused. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
Your feedback is understandable, and we apologize for the delays in both shipping and communication. This past season brought an unusually high volume of orders and support requests, and unfortunately, we fell behind in responding to some customers in a timely manner—which we take full responsibility for.
I’m glad to hear your refund was finally processed, but we understand it should never have taken this long or required you to escalate the issue. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and your concerns have been shared with our team as we continue to improve our processes.

Dealing with Stark Bro's
I ordered eight fruit trees (in four separate orders), 100 strawberry plants plus numerous support items from Stark Bro's this year. Not everything was perfect but Stark's made it right.
They quickly responded to my e-mails both questions and problems. They worked hard to resolve my issues and make sure I was satisfied.
I wish every company that I dealt with had the customer service and knowledge of their product that Starks does.

Suddenly ignoring customers
I have been ordering the majority of my live plants and trees from Stark over the past few years and while the quality has been pretty inconsistent, I never had a significant problem with getting replacements under their guarantee.
This changed this year - now they no longer respond to emails aside from an automated response that they have received my message.
Completely killed our relationship and I'm being sure to share this with my subscribers on youtube.

Don't believe anything they say
I ordered 2 red currant plants in April. Payment was made and taken out of my account by Stark Bros. Promised shipping date was 1st week in May. Then a week later, postponed to 2nd week of May. Then- you guessed it- another e-mail promising by 1st week in June. On May 15th, they e-mailed they were upping the ship date to the last week of May.
I called today and they said now that they wouldn't be shipping until late June or maybe July. The representative wasn't sure why there was a delay so obviously July may not have been possible. They never e-mailed or contacted me with updates since the 15th. Cancelled order. Horrible, dishonest sales department.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the shifting ship dates on your order.
We want to clarify that all ship dates listed at the time of purchase are estimated. This is standard practice with live nursery stock because plant readiness can vary based on seasonal growing conditions and guidance from our growers. In your case, the red currant plants were not yet up to our Stark Bro’s quality standards for shipping — either due to size, maturity, or transplant viability.
Our goal is never to delay or disappoint, but we also don’t want to ship plants that are too immature or at risk of failure. While we understand this may feel frustrating, it is part of our commitment to delivering strong, healthy plants that will succeed in your garden.
We apologize for any lack of timely communication during these changes and understand how that added to your disappointment. Our intention is not to mislead — we’re simply trying to ensure we don’t send out subpar plants that might result in another type of complaint down the road.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re always working to improve, and we truly regret that your experience didn’t reflect the standard we aim to provide.
