GardnersChoice.com is one big scam

Complaint Rating:

I ordered live tomato tree plants from Gardners Choice, Hartford, Michigan in March 06. They cashed my check, and I never received the plants. I've tried calling a number of times, and they do not answer their telephone. I've sent emails and those have gone unanswered also. I checked with the Van Buren County Clerk in Paw Paw, Michigan, and found that they did not renew their business since last October 05. Sounds like a case of fraud, since they actively advertise.

I ordered 1 Empress Paulownia and 6 Pink Brandywine tomato plants. I received a dead tree and no tomato plants. I called the phone for 3 days for customer service and the number is always busy. I called the place order number and the girl told me a supervisor would contact me within 24 hours. We'll see what happens. I have a feeling this is going to be my 2nd time ordering through this company my first and last.

I ordered tomato plants from GardnersChoice.com. When they arrived more than half of the plants were dead, or did not have any leaves on them, just a green stalk with roots in a very small amount of dry soil.

Stuff i ordered last year died never came back but i ordered something this year and have never received it. And they kept the money.

Neutral only because all of the miserable tomatoe plants grew faster and prolific in producing early and large tomatoes. Don't know if the tomatoes are edible! That's if they actually get ripe. However, the expensive corn seeds (real high class stuff?) I bought (10 seeds) not a one germinated!!! At this point, I have mixed feelings. Time will tell how big a mistake I made. Henceforth it will have to be an established well known vendor before I order!

I contacted the company to send me my order, (ordered 3/29/08). They emailed me and advised me in CAPTIAL font, that I was not in the zone I stated and would not send me my order yet. I have made several emailed attempts and all have gone unresponded to! I have tried to contact them by phone for 2 weeks "morning, noon & night" BUSY! I did wait for over 45 mins to speak w/someone from the ordering dept. thinking I would get somewhere. WELL WRONG..The nice women stated there was know one there I could speak too nor could she transfer me to a supervisor! OMG I think I am scammed! I am contacting my bank for dispute, my ISP to report scamming & NYS BBB...

I too have ordered product from gardeners choice. The order came and I am missing half of the order. They did cash my check though. The plants that did show up were half dead, and dried up. I am still waiting for the rest of my plants that are missing... 2 weeks later. I am going to put another call in and really complain or ELSE!!

i called the 800# to complain and it automatically disconnects when you go to customer service. if you press 1 to order it is always busy. i obviously was calling to complain about my order. the wrong plants in very very bad condition. the so called super grow trays with no directions only a bill. i knew as soon as the plants arrived with all yellow leaves i was in for a fight. i only hope a claim with my credit card co. will retrieve my money back. also you have to go on line to get the 800# because they wouldn't dare put it on your invoice sheet.

Yup in the same boat as most. Ordered the grass seed. Buy 1 and get the 2nd one for shipping and handling. Got 1 bag and a letter to grow my super large tomato trees. (Did I misss something when I only orederd the grass seed). Anywho they took the whole amount for the 2nd bag shipping and handling and can't get thru on the 1-800 number and emails go on answewred. Guess should be lucky only out $6.95

The power to act against fraud is the local Attorney General in the state where the fraud is taking place. Always CC that office for communications. There seem to be enough complaints to warrant the AG to shut this company down.
