JDS05's review of Crocus www.crocus.co.uk

“The Rolls Royce of garden centres - I really wish it was ”

★★☆☆☆

written by JDS05 on 27/03/2013

I have had a relatively poor experience with Crocus. I made a significant order, some of the plants were poorly packed and arrived upside down .......... I tried to make changes at least 3 days before the delivery but was told I couldn't and hence some plants were delivered that I didn't want and which I now have to return at my cost. The emails with the customer service team are brief (terse) or just not particularly helpful. On one call to order new plants I was told to call back later because the staff were obviously busy. Its a shame because I would love to find a WOW mail order garden centre................ and this is only the second review I have written ............ Had I checked this site before my purchases, the most recent reviews are so poor I wouldn't have bothered.

Last year most of my plants from Crocus were dead on arrival, & looked like pot rooted left-overs/rejects. It was awful to see plants in this condition and I was shocked anyone could send them out. I now shop from my local garden centre, my pet shop! and off Ebay - where I have received some beautifully healthy and cared for plants at a fraction of Crocus prices, from individuals who really love their plants. When I first shopped at Crocus some years ago now, I really thought they had the WOW factor, but not any more.
