Lorry Did you ever get your Secret Gardens

Lorry Did you ever get your Secret Gardens order ?
Thanks Allison

Nope..and I was ordered the 13th of last month.
They also have not answered my email..SO I filed a dispute with paypal about it :(

Gosh Sorry. And I have bought from them a couple years. Cheapest pots. I emailed them last night asking them if they were still in business ? As a friend never got her order and others have left Neg. Feedbacks on DG garden watch. I told them I did not want to place a pot order if they were no longer in business. I got a reciept that they read my email last night but they did not email me back ??? What's up with this I wonder weird ?
Will Pay Pal be able to get your money back ?? Hope so.

I was going to order some pots from them but if they don't respond, I don't think I will. I hope they respond to your email Allison. If they don't I'm not sure if I will order from them.

You're talking about Secret Garden Rare Plants in FL, right? I wanted to go by there on our way home from Panama City, and I called and called to find out the hours they are open because we were headed home on a Saturday, but never could get anyone to answer the phone. I had my Mom look them up on the computer for me and she gave me two phone numbers. One of them had been disconnected.
(If I'm talking about a different place than you guys are, just ignore me...LOL)

Well I paid through paypal..and they have not responded to the dispute. I can then file a claim with ebay and they will probably reimburse my money since they are not responding.

I dont' know what it going on with them either but over a month to get your plants? I don't think so!
At this point...I just want my money back

Lorry you should post n DG's Garden Watch~ I always order threw Pay Pal with and it can be hard for
people to get their money back.
And I emailed them and they read it but never return email to let me know if they were still in business.

I guess I procrastinated too long about placing an order for pots! oops. Fortunately, I have some azalea pots that Allison is very generously sharing with me coming in my Bingo box. :-)

I wonder what happened? Too bad they aren't at least placing a notice of some kind on their web site if they're either temporarily having problems or permanantly out of business.

Jill I have order from them past couple years best place for leaves. I always paid Pay Pal and was not going to take a chance not getting my money back and no pots ? Even cheap pots add up $$$$.
I emailed them got reciept they read it and they never answered me.
I have searched and searched the other place in Sticky cost a lot 100 2.25 or 2.50 pots is like $22.00 plus shipping just too much sens I put ALL my plants in pots.
So I went an had to order 200 pots 2.50 from Bluebird. Just Mid-March I paid about $120.00 for pots before shipping and used them all :((
Except for my wonderful 4 inch azeala pots I love them ! And some 5 inch.

Both of my ordering experiences with them have resulted in a box of pots, but a LOOOONG wait. It took 4 weeks in shipping time. They never responded to email, ever. And my phone calls went unanswered. One of their phone numbers is disconnected and the other I left messages that were never returned. BUT I did get my pots. I think they ship USPS ground which can take a long time.

Just about the time I was ready to call the BBB, my box showed up. I think they sell via eBay as well and you may be able to contact them that way. Just a thought.

Hmm..well I actually ordered plants..so we shall see.hopefully they don't ship them where they sit around..or I will be a mad hen :)

They still have not responded to my paypal inquiry so I think I may upgrade it to a report.

Has anyone ever ordered their pots from Reeds Greenhouse? I ordered a bunch a few weeks ago, and his prices didn't seem too bad. I need to place another order soon, since I am rapidly running out.

Do you you have a link ?

I'd just like to say that I just got the rest of my pots from Secret Gardens on Friday. I never did try to contact them because I knew that as soon as I raised a ruckus I'd get my pots the next day...also, they were pots, not plants like Lorry's.

They charged me $10 for shipping and they ended up paying $20 because of shipping me 2 boxes. I still had enough pots left from the first shipment they sent me, so I never did run out. Everything worked out ok for me.

I still think they have great prices, great plants & great products. They just really need to deal with their communication problems immediately!! It's such a shame to see an otherwise great place causing themselves this much grief.

Hope things work out for you Lorry.

Reeds Greenhouse is at:

www.reedsgreenhouse.com

The direct link is: http://www.reedsgreenhouse.com/supplies.html

I think he might be listed in the stickys, too. I vaguely remember seeing a link there. I found him by accident during a web search, and bought not only pots, but some leaves and a plant as well (the plant was from one of his eBay auctions).

I bought 2.5 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch green pots.

Stephanie

Oh Ok Stephanie I know this one. Yes I went over his prices also but when you add say 200 2.50 pots the shipping is about $ 14.00. When I bought 2 inch pots for about 6 cents each from Secret Gardens, 4 cents for the 1 1/2 inch, I think 8 cents for sturdy 3 inch round, white pan pots for 35 cents . A few might have goen up a penny. Then to top it off shipping was only $ 10.00 up to $ 100.00 !
So say 500 pots from Secret garden with shipping would cost me about $ 45.00 and about $ 100.00 from the vendor you used.
So when you buy big savings count. Then as you go up 4 inch pot 30 cents. When you buy them by hundreds too much.
I put all my babies and plants into new bleached pots before giving them away I always have just me I feel I need to.
But if I don't find low prices again they'll be in solo cups. lol
I did order a couple hundred from Bluebirds and hoping to get more from another vendor waiting on their total cost .

I see what you mean about the shipping. I must have gotten a bargain, then. I ordered around 100 pots, plus a bunch of leaves, and only paid about $10.00 shipping. Now that I take a further look at his shipping charges, I won't be ordering any more pots from him. For what I would probably be ordering, It cost as much for the shipping as it does for the pots!
