Gardener's Supply CompanyReviews of gardeners.com

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.
