Unfortunately during shipping the cap to the Serenade shattered, and even though they had put a protective plastic bag around each item, the entire bottle of Serenade leaked all over the entire box leaving a smelly gooey mess. I e-mailed photos of the mess and quickly received an e-mail with an apology. They corrected the matter by sending out replacements at no charge within 2 days. Wonderful customer service! | | Positive | Quadrivium

It was handsome and appeared well-constructed, but one of the wood slats in the seat broke within a couple of weeks, apparently because of a small unseen defect in the wood. I emailed Gardener's Supply to describe the problem. Within a few hours after receiving my message, the company responded, apologizing for the problem and saying that they had contacted the manufacturer and arranged for a replacement portion of the seat to be shipped to me at no charge. A week later, my bench is as good as new. | | Positive | santeelady

A surprise for me, was, I ordered the APS-12 (windowsill model) and I ordered 4. I didn't realize until I opened the package this afternoon, that I ordered 4 SETS. So I actually have 8 kits! It was a great surprise.
I highly recommend this company!

The only exception was last fall, when I wanted something that was listed on their website as being backordered. I ordered it anyway. They have kept in touch with regular emails, reminding me that the item has been backordered, notifying me of the estimated date it will be in stock (which hasn't changed), and giving me the option of cancelling my order. I'm very pleased with the way the company has handled this situation and intend to order from them again.

My credit card information changed between the time I placed an order (for an item I knew was on backorder) and the time it came in. I got a phone call from a friendly customer service rep asking if I still wanted the item and asking for my new information.

(Zone 7a) wrote:I recently did some Christmas shopping online at the Gardener's Supply website. While shopping I noticed that several items were marked "out of stock." Every item I ordered was marked as still being in stock.
I placed my order and it was processed online. Several days later I receive an email informing me that two out of the three items were out of stock.
Why was this information not available on the website? I was sending the order directly to family. Now I am sending them a rather skimpy gift and it's now too late to cancel and order elsewhere.
This is not my idea of how a website should work. If I'm paying a premium price for both items and shipping (yes, you are higher than other vendors) I expect better service.
I wouldn't waste my time (or money) ordering from this company again, unless you enjoy being disappointed or disappointing others at Christmas. | | Positive | DianeEG

I ordered/received beautiful and rather expensive lights only to find they had an engineering fault causing them to break. They sent a new item, newly engineered, free of charge with no cost of returning the orig. broken lights. Because they had to wait until the new was in stock it took some time and they kept in contact until I received to let me know they were still considering my order important. When I complimented, they said their policy was 100% customer satisfaction. Apparently this is not just a marketing ploy but a way of doing business. | | Positive | AZPHATMAN

I have yet to place and order only to find that the item is back ordered which is my chief complaint by me about many of their competitors. When ordering a fertilizer or pest control that I can’t find locally I can count on them to have the item in stock if they say it is and ship it when they say they will. I can’t say their prices are always the lowest because they often are not but when my garden is suffering I know who to call. If paying a dollar or two more and paying for faster shipping will save my garden I’m more than happy to pony up as I’m sure every other serious gardener would. | | Positive | seventeen

After several years hiatus, I resumed gardening this summer and contacted them for more of a very special edging that I had retained from a previous home. The customer service representative went to great lengths to locate my historical records and make certain that whatever I ordered today was identical to what I purchased 10 years or so ago. I was astonished to discover they had retained my data even though I had been an inactive account for so long. They still carry the product and it will be on its way to me first thing Monday morning.

I have been informed every step of the way about the status of the order, both by e-mail & phone & given the option of changing the order based on this info. I have just finished a very negative rating of another garden company that has not followed up on an order placed months ago! That lousy experience really makes me appreciate a company such as this! I have ordered a lot of stuff from them over a number of years (the wonderful self watering planters are a favorite for myself & as gifts) and have really never had a problem. It's nice to know that when a glitch occurs (backorders happen!) there are people out there that address it properly! Oh, & when you call, the phone queue message makes a point of mentioning that you'll be speaking to a "live person"! In these "press #29..." days-it has to make you laugh!

(Zone 5b) wrote:I bought one of the 2-tier seed-starting racks with the accompanying APS systems, along with a few odds and ends. Parts were shipped separately (which I hadn't quite expected, but made sense considering the size of my order), and came *very* quickly. The whole kit was in good shape and fairly easy to assemble. It was cheaper than some other kits I researched.
I will add that their website has been a useful resource and they generally come off as a personable company. Love looking through their catalogs and have no complaints. Would definitely order from them in the future. | | Positive | Tink2U

I did have one problem with the first order. I had bought their fantastic tomato ladders (green) last year and was so very happy with their heavy duty quality that I ordered more this year. I ordered the red, expecting the deep red in the catalog, I got a neon orangy-salmon color, and 2 of them had tiny chips on them. I called the company, thinking that I would just let them know, but not expecting to return them, but I was really taken back by their service.
They insisted that I not keep them if I were unhappy with them, even if just for the color! They promptly sent me out replacements, even offering to send green if I preferred (which I did) and asked if they sent me a pre-paid return address label would I mind returning the red (orange) ones? They wanted to see them, as they were shipped from a different location. They are nice, courteous people to deal with who really do beleive in customer service!! I highly recommend this company!!!

I have ordered again from this company and once again, everything was perfect! I have nothing but respect for any company who CONSISTENLY have quality products and great service. It is a tough compination to maintain!! This order was the rubber tote buckets and more tomato (green) ladders. I of course am in love with the tomato ladders, but was simply amazed by those rubber 2 handle baskets/buckets that I ordered. I use them for everything, including mixing fertilizer, to drag around for weeding, for holding plants in good shape until I get them transplanted and much more. I can\'t wait to use them to harvest tomatoes!! But surprisingly, I use them indoor for laundy and to hold garden tools, gloves, boots, etc. until I go outside and take the whole thing with me. Then I just hose it out and it\'s ready to go again. An added bonus is the great colors!! Don\'t hesitate ordering them or anything else from this company!!! | | Positive | mary987

Once again, I was very pleased with my order and it's prompt delivery. I did have one slight problem with my order--I ordered the hummingbird seed balls--two of which were crushed in one package. I called customer service and explained my problem (and the fact that it was part of a gift that I needed soon)--the lady I spoke with said that they'd get a replacement shipped right out... None of the 'you need to send it back before we can send a replacement--you pay for the shipping of the replacement' that I've received from other companies.

I am changing my rating to a neutral. After I received several advertisements and e-mailed Gardeners Supply to stop, I would not order anything from them again due to their poor customer service, they e-mailed me yesterday explaining that yes they had problems with their recycled mulch edging and they would credit my card the full price. Too late to win me back as a customer. If they knew they had a problem they should have taken the initiative to make things right.
