Gardener's Supply Company Anmeldelser 

I ordered 1 quart of food safe wood sealer on 4/4/24 to be shipped in 3-5 days. After checking order status and calling GSC twice, I finally called on 4/25/24 and canceled my order. Customer service rep seemed pleased I was canceling the order. How difficult to go to warehouse and box up 1 quart of product to ship? Wow!

Website said I would receive my planters/pots in 3-6 business days. Weeks later, nothing. No communication either. I called twice, waited 22 mins first time and hand to hang up. Second time waited 33 mins and got to talk to someone. She said they weren’t going to get to my order for at least another week. She was very nice but I still didn’t receive any communication after that on status. As a gardening supply company they must understand the importance of people receiving things. Like this on time, my seedlings were out growing pots and I needed them. Had to cancel order…ordered. Straight from Red Gorilla (tub trugs) and pots came within a few days!

My original rating was one star. I waited online for 28 minutes and as a result of speaking to one temp person they hired because of their issues in their warehouse, and the 2nd person who tried to remedy the issue, I've moved it up to three.

Crux of the issue: It's taking WAY too long to fulfill orders AND they are not communicating clearly or frequently enough about their challenges. (They seemed to have installed new software and it's causing them all sorts of changes, perhaps one among many challenges.)

The people are lovely. It's the only reason this is moving up. I feel for them. :They are doing their best under what seems like an overwhelmingly bad situation.

I placed an on-line order on March 31 and am having the same issue. Nothing has been shipped! They have debited my financial account several times but have not given me any shipping date. I gave up trying to get through to customer service. Whatever is going on with this company is resulting in no customer service and at this point, appears to be theft. I’m filing a complaint with the Vermont Attorney General’s office.

What's going on? I placed my order more than 2 weeks ago, and all the website says is that it's "in process." Tried to send an email query it find out when I might receive my order, and it refused to accept my email (called me a spam bot. Thanks). Tried to call, but I refuse to sit on hold for the predicted 25 minutes. Ugh. By the time my order arrives (if ever) it'll be so late in the season I shouldn't have even bothered.

Do these folks hire any extra staff in springtime??? Have not had this issue with them before - What's going on??

Terrible customer service management. Have waited weeks for the shipment of my goods. If the company is facing delays, they should inform customers of this! It’s unacceptable to not respond to emails asking for a status of shipment or take 30 mins to answer a phone call. Would NOT recommend company.

Order has not shipped over two weeks after ordering. Shipping was charged and I was told it would be refunded and it was not. Wait time to speak to someone was 58 minutes. I will not order from this company again.

Similar to previous posters - I placed an order for row cover material on 3/25 and still have not received it. I now have seedlings ready to be hardened off and planted outside but cannot do that until I m have these row covers. I called 1 week ago and waited the 25 ish minutes to speak to someone and they said they will refund shipping. I asked if they would cancel the order so that I could just buy a comparable
Product from a different company and they could not cancel. A week later - items still have not shipped and I have seedlings starting to look pretty pathetic. At this point, I may just buy row covers from Amazon and return my order to sender when and if it does arrive. Ridiculous.

I ordered a seed starting kit and mix from Gardeners Supply Co. After 11 days, the order still hasn't shipped. When I called customer service, there was a 23-minute wait to speak with a rep. (!) I sent an email instead and am waiting to hear back. Unacceptable, will never order from them again.

just spent 40 min on hold to no avail. finally gave up. I imagine two things - understaffed service dept and poor phone system (should have a call back feature). problem is, I don't know where else to obtain the parts I need. enviable business model...

Their shipping time is unacceptably slow, especially for the high prices they charge. Every time I have ordered it takes 3 weeks or more to get the items. This is no way to run a business. Hire the staff you need to get the job done promptly!

I made an internet purchase on 11 March, and today is 27 March and it has still not been shipped!!!

They are totally in over their heads. Spent hours trying to place an order- for a big birthday- celebration. Even spoke at length about needing it for st patty’s day- spring gardening tradition etc. the fellow who took the order- more than 2 weeks ago- said it would be no problem with arriving on time. Yesterday spent another hour- on hold twice- 6minute hold projection was actually 24…
Only to get a load of self serving RUBBISH about how sorry they are! Refusing to even upgrade shipping or even TELL ME WHEN IT MIGHT SHIP. Asked for callback from supervisor. It never happened. Then today received voicemail from “supervisor “ saying he thinks maybe one part of order may have shipped…but not sure.
Mind you- when I placed the order well over 2 weeks ago- all items were in stock. Which is why I spent the time to call in first place!
Their feel good customer owned nonsense only goes so far- and definitely does not make the cut in terms of customer experience. They have gotten too big for their britches!!!

Don't update shipping online, phone hold always 30 minutes or more, limited time to call.
Trying to shop local but Gardner's Supply doesn't seem to care. Nice bit about employee=owned but totally useless.

To add context to other reviews...it's been a while since I ordered from them. I placed a large order for netting & stakes on 2/29/24. Been attempting to get a shipping update. Emailed. No reply. I was able to reach a rep by phone this am (18 minutes hold time). Megan updated me that they are now shipping orders placed 2/27, 28. Advised that my order should ship by end of next week. Will update this review as it unfolds.

I have been a gardeners.com customer for a LONG time..back when they were known as Gardeners Supply Co. That being said, I placed an order on 2/25/24 for shade cloth. Many days went by without any information regarding shipping etc. So I called yesterday, was told that the hold time was 36 minutes(approx.) I waited for a bit then hung up. Checked my emails today still nothing from them. So I called again. Finally got to speak to someone who was not helpful at all. Something about a problem with the "packaging"..not even sure what that means! I told the person that I could not see my order on the website. They responded by saying that if I created an account on or after that order it won't show up on the website.( I've had the same account for the last 13 years and I ordered from them late last year. Oh and that order is not on the website either!!) That makes zero sense to me. I was told I'll have a tracking number by tomorrow morning. I won't hold my breath. And I'm not really sure I'll be ordering from them again.

Placed an order on 2/24/24 and 10 days later nothing from them. When I called I was told it takes 2 - 6 days to ship. Website doesn't even show my order, so I cannot check on status, & don't even bother to attempt to contact them on your customer page. I was told they are having problems with website and it is in work, but looking at other reviews I see that has been their excuse for months.

They are just frauding us.5 $ real value paid ten times and more.
Coming from China, very few seeds with ni explanation.
Very disappointed.

I recently visited the Williston location.the location is very impressive. The greenhouse was very full with plants; some of which were unusual. Aside from plants steeply priced, my biggest disappointment was with the lack of identification on 90%of their plants. If one would like to purchase seemingly unusual plant costing $ 50-70 they would love to know the exact species and variety of the particular genus.
I hope this comment will influence proper identification of plants.

I used to like this company, but this last order placed comfirmed that I need to shop elsewhere. I purchased the Titan Eggplant/Pepper cages as they were touted as "designed by GSC." When they arrived, they were so poorly packaged that the boxes were banged up, holes, and tons of strapping tape to keep them together, fortunately the product was not damaged. Upon opening the damaged boxes on a big white label strapped to the "cages" was: MADE IN CHINA. Had it stated this on the website I would not have bought them. They would not take them back because I "changed my mind." I kept them and assembly is not easy and basically the product consists of: steel-core stakes with life-extending poly coated
adjustable UV-resistant polyethylene rings (I paid a lot of money for plastic manufactured in China). I'll use them because I paid for them, but I would not recommend this item.
