“I wish I had read these reviews before ordering! (However please read added review at ending!). I received my order (unlike many others), but the tree was virtually dead! I called (on line 1 for sales, line 2 is permanently closed!) on the day of delivery, and was told yo email with photos. I duly did this and a ticket was raised which says "being processed". One week later, I have heard nothing. I have added a further message to the ticket with no effect. I phone the sales line today, where the employee told me they had no access to information and could not help me in any way, but all returns were being dealt with and to use the website. The website does not recognise my original customer number and I now suspect that I will not see £58 again!! I have to give credit where it is due. I was contacted by Primrose shortly after leaving this review (probably because of it!) and they have given me a full refund with no expectation to send the damaged plant back. The money was returned swiftly, and it's just a shame I had to go through this process to make it happen!”

“We had terrible service from this company last year. I paid by credit card and was reimbursed in the end by the credit card. I am shocked these customer complaints are continuing and this company really needs to be investigated. I son their own website they are claiming 4 stars. How can this be. Meredith who appears as a responder to the bulk of complaints must be a very busy person or is just an automated response.”

“Ordered goods from this website over a month ago (with a 10-15 day delivery timeframe), paid for the goods and nothing has arrived. Tried calling multiple times but the line says its closed during open hours. A week ago I sent a message via their ticketing system requesting a full refund, and still no response.”

“Please do not use this company. Their customer service is truly terrible. Orders are not delivered when they should be and nobody has the decency to let you know. They lie blantantly and are not to be trusted. AVOID at all costs.”

“I have no doubt “meredyth” will reply to this at some point and say “I have looked into this and can see my colleague has assisted you” bla bla bla. It’s all part of the scam. You order plants, send them money and nothing arrives. That’s the end of it. Phone lines, emails, you cannot get hold of anyone. (Unless of course you wish to place an order and send them more money) Avoid.”

“I ordered bare root raspberry canes last year, planted them the same day they arrived, but nearly all of them have failed to grow. I have contacted the company with no success. Their sales lines are open every day of the week but their help centre/customer complaints section is only open Mon - Thurs is is not much for those who work long hours during the week and are unable to call. Really poor customer service. It appears leaving a review prompts a response - I hope so!”

“I placed an order back in March due for delivery at the start of April. At the end of April I was told my order was lost in the system 'due to reasons unknown' and would be delivered by early May at the latest. The date in May came and went with no contact from Primrose so I contacted them. 7 days later they reply saying they cannot fulfil the order. Overall very poor service made worse by no communication throughout.”

“Ordered indoor palm on 15th April. Primrose confirmred order. Primrose confirmed dispatch (DX) on 22nd April. I messaged them on 26th April to inform them DX did not have my plant. - They did not reply. I messaged them again around the 29th - No reply I spoke to their Chat line around 2nd May who told me delivery would be before 6th May. I rang their Helpline 4th May. They have two lines, 1 = new orders and 2 = existing orders. Line 2 is not connected and does not connect to anything. I rang Line 1 which was answered quickly and demanded answers. I was told delivery woud be on the 5th April. 5Th April (evening) I have cancelled my order and await refund? Needless to say I do not intend to use them again. I did look on their own site reviews and noted that their are few complaints compared to other review sites?”

“Not even one star. Surely this company can't continue trading, the service is shocking. I ordered my plants on 25/3..money taken but a month on, no plants. When I spoke to the company I was told they are out of stock. I wonder how long my money would have been in their bank, as no advice was given to let me know my plants were not coming. I finally gave up after Patrick advised they will be back in stock soon, but yes, you guessed, I had to call again today to find out what was happening, to be told the new delivery is mid may. So I gave up. I am not at all confident I will get my money back any time soon. This company is shockingly badly run. It goes without saying i will never buy from them again!!!”

“costs. I placed an order back in January for a Willow Tree and did not receive delivery despite the tracking saying it was delivered. I was told months later that it was not in fact dispatched and there was an error and that the item is now out of stock. I was then told to that I would receive the Willow Tree at the end of April only to then receive a very delayed (10 days) response to my original email from customer services to my dismay asking if I had received delivery since sending the email. I replied to yet again reinstate that I have not received delivery and a week or so later 21st April I received a phone call from a very poorly spoken and confused customer service representative to say that there is a probem with the suppliers and that they cannot fulfil my order. Well over three months of being mucked around and I am now told I will receive a refund. Even this I don't believe, the supposed agents Primrose get doing their bidding are poorly spoken and seem to make things up as they go along contradicting themselves at every turn. You will be lucky to receive a written reply to any email/enquiry you send this company as many of the staff can't seem to string a sentence together let alone write a knowledgeable, and consistent response mindful of any facts.

“They did not deliver the items within the time frame or keep me updated about my order in a timely way. Trying to contact someone via customer services was a nightmare- phones not working/ long delays/ someone will contact me but didn’t. I am currently trying to cancel order and get a refund but this is also proving difficult. My advice: DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM- find somewhere else.”

“Item did not arrive. 'Customer service' does not reply! I ordered an item through their eBay store. The order went through fine, I paid for the item and even got a confirmation. The next day I receive an email saying the item has been dispatched. Then 2 days after the date the item was supposed to be delivered, I gave them a call. They said that actually that item is out of stock, and nothing had been dispatched! I submitted a complaint to their customer service department almost three weeks ago. I followed up on this a week ago. I STILL have not received any reply. An absolute joke of a company!”

“It's now been 11weeks since I ordered a chair form Primrose and there is still no sign of it arriving. It cost us £230 which Primrose took from us 11weeks ago when the then estimated the delivery to be 2-4weeks. So now we are down £230 and with no product and not idea when it will arrive. Stay Clear. Shambles of a company. I have now opened up a case with Citizen's advice as they are refusing a refund. Will keep you updated.”
