On October 19th my mother passed away

On October 19th my mother passed away. I remember purchasing ‘Marilyn’ tulips for her many years back, when she and dad still lived in their home. She looked forward for their show each spring. A good friend if mine, lost his wife last year… Marilyn… so bought him some and he was excited when they bloomed this spring. Present time… mom will be interned 11/6, and called to see if Marilyn tulips were still available, and they were. I ordered 3 bags of them, one for my brother, son, and daughters yards, and hoped they might arrive in time, so i could give them at the graveside service. The gal i spoke with said delivery would be the third week of November. I explained my hope, and she said she would do her best. They arrived on October 26th! Much thanks fir msking this possible!

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and heartfelt story with us. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. It means so much to know that Marilyn tulips hold such special memories for your family and that you are continuing that tradition in her honor.

We're so glad our team was able to help get your order to you in time for the service. We hope these tulips bring comfort to your family and serve as a beautiful reminder of your mother and the joy she found in their spring blooms.

Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Thank you for allowing Breck's to be part of such a meaningful tribute.

Looong shipping time

Just curious why it takes so much time to get an order. I paid $10.95 in shipping and as of today I still don’t have my order. I’m afraid I’ll miss planting season!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern about the time it takes to receive your order, especially when you're eager to get your plants in the ground. Some of our items ship directly from Holland, which can add an additional 3–4 weeks to the delivery timeframe. We apologize for the wait and understand how important it is to receive your items in time for planting season.

We have sent you a request for additional information. Please reply to that request, and we’ll be happy to look into your order status and provide an update. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Reply from Breck's

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad your plants arrived and understand your concern about waiting to get them planted. As long as the ground is workable, we recommend planting them as soon as possible so they can establish roots and prepare for dormancy during the fall and winter months, helping them grow and thrive in the spring. If the ground is frozen or otherwise unworkable, we suggest planting them in pots until conditions allow for planting in the garden. We appreciate your patience and wish you a beautiful garden in the spring!

Order status

You sent no update on my order after a week, then i called and they gave me actual ship dates later in November. Today i received an email that it is put of stock for good. Does not seem like your inventory system and customer communications is very effective.

Reply from Breck's

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Because we work with live plants, we occasionally experience issues with rootstock availability that can affect product availability and shipping schedules. For this reason, we provide estimated shipping windows rather than exact dates. We understand how disappointing it is to receive updated shipping information only to later learn that an item is out of stock, especially when you’re planning your fall planting. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and the lack of timely communication. We will be reaching out to you via email to assist you further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Got only 1 out of many items and you want feedback?

I made a purchase of multiple items and only 1 shipped immediately and I have no idea about the status of the rest. Why I am being asked for feedback when I am frustrated instead of being sent updates, I will never know.

I placed my order many weeks ago

I placed my order many weeks ago. I had two conversations via email to reassure me that my order was coming. They were very prompt in communication and let me know that my order was coming from Holland. Once it arrived, the bare roots were in very good condition. Just give yourself enough time from ordering to planting.
