herbs delivered at last...

Hi, Think I would defiantly complain enclosing the photo!
£13 isn't cheap after all............
Sandy

Sorry u got ripped off.
I think u have every reason to moan & complain. Did they really come like that? Without pots? Yes, indeed u should grow ur own next time as the seeds might have cost u about 2 pound a pack & u would have plenty of them.
I think in England u get ripped off a lot. In Calif. we could buy about a doz. 6 pk. for that kinda money. Thing is if no one complains then things don't change.

£17.85 with the postage ... get complaining right away ... I wouldn't accept them in that condition. Tell them if you want 'dried herbs' you'll go the supermarket !

hi Sandy,that was without the postage so no not cheap..i may think about it see how i feel tmoz..
cheers Angie,yes they come in a plastic box with grooves inside which the plant slots into then the 3 boxes inside a cardboard box..you are right about seeds..also about complaining we need to stand up for ourselves more but thats another blog lol..

hi Shirley, i know but if you complain you never hear back from them, i was going to see how they fare now they are potted on one of them was dead as a dodo when it arrived..the best part is the firm is a 10 min drive from where i live...

10 minutes drive away ... get there for opening time tomorrow ... tell them you've complained about them on a gardening forum ... that may just get results ! I expect a report back from you tomorrow ... lol

I would definately complain Joanella...especially when they are so close....you can drop them in. I've had "plants" from them in the past....so small you can hardly see them....thats why they are so cheap........Their bulbs are ok.... but I would NEVER buy plants from them.......

If you speak to them pleasantly they usually refund or send replacements. I have had a few sorry deliveries over the years but they have always put the problem right for me, when I have expressed my disappointment. All the plugs you get will have roots at the edges, its their way of showing the customer that there is a good root system; apparently.

worth a gentle moan in my book.

Shirley ,ouch that slap on my wrist hurt lol
Alice ,i may just write to them now after all your encouragement wouldnt get plants again like you..have you sobered up now ? lol..
hi SBG i didnt like complaining because most of the top growth isnt bad although lost one and think another will be gone tmoz as you say a gentle moan..:o)

Tomorrow...perhaps.....lol

tut tut ...glad you cant see my wine glass lol

if you dont compain joan they will do this more and more, i would deffernetly let them know grrr, shame after waiting and paying good money out

hi San , think i may send pics to them at least they will see one is already dead & the other flagging bit like me at the moment lol.

Grrrr it reallly annoys me when plants arrive in this condition! Get in touch with them Joanella. The times I have ordered plants from QVC (Thompson and Morgan) and they have arrived like this. I always phone and complain and always get a replacement or my money back. Oh, how grumpy do I sound, sorry......:o)

i would joan, you may get a pressie back if your lucky

hi Dylan,it is annoying you expect to get what you pay for ..never thought about contacting them by phone ..almost all my veg for the plot this year has come from the £1 shop and its the best quality i have ever had , ones in a brown carrier bag name is ..grow me ..you dont sound grumpy at al..:o)
hmm a pressie eh that sounds ok to me Sandra..:o)

hi all..i have phoned J Parker this morn ..the girl was so nice and after i told her what was wrong she said they would replace a pack of 6...i have to thank you all on here as i wouldnt have bothered if it had been up to me .. so a BIG THANKS to you all ...
Shirley ..you have your report ..lol

Well done you!....:o)

cheers Dylan glad i took your advice now ..i will get a few extra plants lol :o))

Well Joan, glad you took all the advice from everyone, the customer IS always right. A good recovery policy by Parkers. Thanks for reporting back, I would have chased you up on it, you know ! Rain just started to fall here at 2.30 ... : o ( ( (

hi Shirley,they were good and i wouldnt have rested till i reported back to the headteacher lol
lovely sunshine now 4pm in m/c

this is what I have always found with them. T&M not as pleasant but similar response in the end.

yes SBG,you were right i am glad i listened to you now ..at least it has not been a waste of money and all with a quick phone call so thank you ...gardeners are a helpful lot arnt we ..lol
