Gardener's Supply Company Anmeldelser 

I feel like I got ripped off. The quality of the blanket i purchased from wise gardeners was of low quslity and stamped. The front side of the blanket is a micro shagg. They stamped graphix on one side of shagg. So if you run your hand across the blanket it virtually erases the grsphix. Super crsppy China quality. I found the same one on Amazon that was twice the size and much better quality for half the price. Also, wise gardeners ships out of Shanghai. So when you get it is a guess. Maybe 2 weeks possibly a month or more.
Also, not a very transparent company to deal with. After I ordered blanket I realized there was no size chart. Even though the picture showed a queen size blanket i wanted to make sure I was getting correct size. So I emailed 4 times over a period of a week. The responses I received were of someone who either was not reading my email and just responding like a robot or it was someone who could not read English and just sending a reassuring note that everything will be OK. Super strange. Turns out the blanket is no bigger than a bath towel. You can get anything wise gardeners Sella on Amazon for about half the price. I will never deal with them again.

This has to be the SLOWEST company in N.America for preparing an order for shipment. C'mon, it is 2023 and everyone wants the Amazon experience for order prep.

Placed an order on a Wednesday, their website says it will ship within 5 business days. When I followed up because there was no tracking I was told that my order would be delivered the following Thursday (which makes sense since we are local). On Friday over a week later my tracking said fedex still had not received my package and there is no estimated delivery date. Customer service said they have until the end of the ship window before it’s an issue which is 6 days max. They don’t count the order date because it’s after business hours, and they don’t count the day after that, so day 1 starts 2 days after the order is placed. One item is also on back order which is written in fine print, without any notifications through the check out process. Expect to get get orders in 1-2 months. Customer service also had a real attitude and didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with the fact I was told my order would have arrived yesterday when it hasn’t even shipped. Proceed with caution.

As many have said on this site, Gardeners Supply has horrible customer service and bad delivery experiences. I do like their stuff but I continually have trouble with their site and their service. The latest involves a trellis I purchased. When I called to inquire about it (website order status has been “in process” for several days and I can’t log into my account) they rudely condescended to me about how I “pushed buttons without looking”. Just don’t buy from them.

I was looking for apple trees and they seemed a bit understaffed so I left and came back over the weekend. And was very impressed by their knowledgeable staff

We purchased the somerset metal raised bed. It was an absolute piece of junk. It took a while to get it delivered. The metal is so flimsy that it bows while trying to put it together. Some moron put the nuts on the steel with paint unevenly. This made it very difficult to put together. We did a review 5 days ago and it still isn’t available for others to see. I will never purchase anything from them again.

DON'T order online from this website. They supposedly messed up the credit card payment at the time of order, shipped the item anyway, then emailed me 2 months after the order had already arrived to tell me I need to give them my credit card number manually so they charge me again OR they will send my account to Collections.

EXCEPT guess what? When I check my credit card bill from 2 months ago, the full charge from gardeners.com is on the bill. When I called back to show them the bill, they said that's not what happened on their end and I still need to give them my credit card number manually so they can charge me again OR they will send my account to Collections.

DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!

Absolutely one of the most repulsive, physically sickening places I've EVER, in ALL my 67 years on this Earth, encountered!
Months ago, I went to the store (60 miles and hours of driving away) to look for a wheel for a cart that only they sell. The pompous, arrogant sales thing was as condescending as could be, as if I'd disturbed a private party or rest break, told me "We don't have any." So I asked if their other store, some miles away, might have. It got on the phone and called, told me that yes, "they have one". ONE? OK... I gave it a try.
Not only did the other store not "have ONE", they had NONE! Wasted time and gas.
Just recently contacted them by e-mail, via their web-site, gave them the full description of the cart and asked if I could order a replacement wheel.
The reply? I'm going to give a "copy/paste" quote:
Quote
Unfortunately, we have not been able to find an order with the contact information you provided. Without the original order details, we are not able to sell parts for this product, and we apologize for the disappointment.

I have found that a local bike shop may be able to solve the wheel dilemma.

Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.

Sincerely,

An "ORDER"? I didn't place and "order", I asked for information. "Contact information"? WHAT? Obviously they have the "contact information" because they replied to my inquiry.

How I almost wish I could post the words, adjectives and truly despicable wishes and hopes I have for EVERYONE even remotely associated with this schlock operation.

You'd have to be one low individual to find any redeemable quality about this place.

Oh, and the "wheel"? Since Gardeners makes the carts, the wheels aren't "standard size", nor is the axle, so you can't just go out and buy any old wheel to replace the defective part. (I used to wonder why I'd seen so many of them at the local dump, often missing a wheel, if not some other part. Now I know: Pay 400$ to use until... Once one part goes, your 400$ is gone as well.)

On top of everything else, looks like they can appropriately be classified as "thieves" because, well, it's all obviously intentional. (As they say in social media: hash-tag ProveMeWrong.)

Going to Consumer Affairs, Consumer Protection and the Better Business Bureau with this now. I've taken MORE than enough abuse.

HORRIBLE, INEFFECTIVE AND INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE
My credit card number was used for an unauthorized transaction for $10.59. I immediately called to fix it and the guy i spoke to was very helpful, or so i thought. After giving him all if the info he requested, I was told that the order was canceled and my money would go back to my card. One week later & still no refund so I call back. Now I'm being told that the man I spoke with shouldn't have told me what he did (?!?) and that my money cannot be refunded until I talk to my bank (always fun)-basically I'll have to go through the nightmare of getting a new card. I've been patiently waiting all week just to find out NOTHING IS HAPPENING! I want to scream. Now i have to choose if $10.59 is worth the headache but i really don't want them keeping it...
THEY NEED TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND ALL AGENTS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOB

Unbelievably poor service from this company. I ordered a planter box in April, which it said would be delivered in May. In May, I emailed them and they said it will ship later than expected, with a new date of 6/25.

On 6/27 I emailed them for an update, to which they replied "your order should ship on 7/2 at the latest". Of course, by now the planter wouldn't be much good for this year, but I was patient and figured I can get it in place and I'll be set up for next year. Still nothing happened. On 8/5, I e-mailed them again and they said it should "ship out by the end of the week or early next week". Guess what- still nothing. E-mail again on 8/25 and got this totally ridiculous response- "unfortunately, the planter is on back order until 12/25" "we apologize for the delay".

WOW- just WOW...

I ordered a moon gate in June 25th - i never received an email or anything reqarding when this would be delivered. Called Gardeners Supply - they were very freindly and explained this was from a thrid party vendor. I called again asking when?? couldnt give me any info said theyd try and reach them. I finally got an email saying it would be delivered by a tractor trailer truck- finally recieved my order on 8/11/21 I would definitely recommend calling to place an order to see if its actually available and if its coming directly from them and not a 3rd party vendor.

Do the world a favor and quit offering products you can't deliver, especially if you're going to lie about it again and again. You give 'real gardeners' a bad name.

Raised Bed Corners were supposed to arrive by 6/4 (based on the order). On 6/6 I called an requested status of the order. Customer Rep told me that the item is on back order. She didn't know when the order would be shipped, "probably in 10 days", but she wasn't sure. Called a few days later, Rep said it has been shipped, but based on the UPS tracking number the item had not shipped yet. So either the UPS app was incorrect, or the Rep lied. I trust UPS.

Why didn't they contact me about a shipping delay, like any other company?

Will not buy anything from grardeners.com anymore. Plain incompetence.

Customer service is a nightmare in my opinion. I place an order for a planter which has not been delivered and is now 2 weeks late past their "expect by" date. I called and the 1st customer service rep I spoke with said she'd check on my order, asked me to "hold" and then never came back. After 15 minutes on hold I hung up and called again, waited 5 minutes in a queue, and when I got through to a 2nd rep, he either hung up on me or dropped the call after a few seconds. I place a 3rd call, waited another 6 minutes in a queue and finally spoke to a woman who promised to check on my order and get back to me within 24 hours, which never happened. This series of calls took nearly an hour of my time and I still have no answers. Would never order for them again - they obviously have some serious communication issues.

This is the very worst online company that I’ve encountered! Everything is on back order and they never communicate that to their customers. I called and they said that my items (raised bed corners) are in stock and that it will ship but it never does. And then when I tried calling back again I am given continuous lie after lie after lie. Save yourself from frustration, wasted time, and headaches! Most importantly save your money. Order somewhere else! Please read and heed the previous reviews. Also, notice how they don’t even respond to their dissatisfied customers on this forum.....IT’S BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CARE!!

Lies. Lies. Lies. And more lies!!! Beware of this company. Do yourself a favor and find someplace else to get your gardening supplies! This company doesn’t deliver! I placed an order on April 27, 2021, for their 23” Raised Bed Corners. I received a confirmation email stating that the corners were “in stock and will ship”. Never happened. I’ve called several times and spoke to numerous representatives including Ellis, who told me that he checked and that my order was in stock, would ship in a few days! That was more than a week ago! So I called again on Friday, May 14, 2021 and spoke to a “second level supervisor” by the name of Jay. He said that because he was a higher level supervisor that he had more options and could get things done! He promised a 25% discount on my order and more importantly he promised me that he would get answers and call me back on Friday or Saturday at the latest to update me and confirm the shipment of my order! LIAR! NEVER EVER HAPPENED! Still nothing! Nothing has shipped. I still have no order or resolve. I’m sure I’m not the only one! Avoid Gardener’s Supply at all cost!
Tuesday, May 18, 2021: Called yet again to get answers, spoke with Tonesha who tells me that my order is now set to ship Friday, May 21, 2021. I asked to speak with a supervisor, I get Tray who informs me that Jay is not a supervisor after all!! Furthermore, she tells me that she does not believe that my order will ship this Friday and that it will mostly get pushed back again! She goes on to say that this particular supplier keeps pushing the dates back because of lack of metal supplies and lack of workers AND that they’ve been working with this supplier for over 30 years! WHAT?? So, you mean to tell me that you know ahead of time that you are not able to fulfill these orders, while you are taking them? She goes on to tell me unfortunately that’s just the way it goes sometime...oh and she’ll get back to me on Thursday!
AGAIN, AVOID GARDENER’S SUPPLY AT ALL COSTS! (This is why so many people turn to Amazon, as disgusting as they may be....they deliver)!!!!

Ordered gardening box for wife for Mother’s Day that was said it would be here in a couple weeks. A few weeks later I call to check on it and they tell me it’s on back order for TWO MORE MONTHS! The worst part, zero communication. When I asked why they didn’t even attempt to let me know they where wasting my time and the mother of children gets nothing this year they stated the “might have sent me an email that ended up in my spam”. I looked, nothing.

Very poor customer service. I ordered 10 rail planters. 3 were damaged. I called and was told my wait time is 42 minutes. I emailed. I did get a incident number. But it has been over 10 business days and no one has contacted me.
I will not be ordering anything from them again and I suggest that anyone reading these reviews keep that in mind. They have no customer service.

Awful customer service, don't waste your time ordering from this company. I never received my order nor any correspondence from them about it. After the expected delivery date, I emailed multiple times, never got a response. I called and was on hold for 35 mins then someone transferred me, I was on hold for another 20 mins, then was told that my order should be shipping, that is was in stock and didn't know why it hadn't been shipped out, and that I would get an email update within 24-48 hours. 5 days later, still nothing from them. I called again, was on hold for 25 mins, then got hung up on. I have received no email correspondence from them besides the initial order confirmation. This is not a proper way to run a business. I spent $190 with them to that I now need to get my order cancelled and refunded. I question if this is even a real business!
