We ordered 2 garden gates, which are reasonable quality for the price. I didn't get an email to say when they were being delivered which was disappointing, but they arrived 5 days after ordering.

Artificial Wisterias
I ordered two lots of artificial wisterias, 12 each of purple and white which look beautiful on a backdrop in my garden. They were easy to order and dispatched and delivered in very fast time, they arrived well packaged and in perfect order. I am so happy with everything and I have ordered 12 pink artificial wisterias to add to the others.

Faulty goods sold - no replacement!
I purchased a parasol umbrella from this company last month which was faulty. I have sent photos and a video of the faulty product and they are refusing to help. They were helpful until I advised the product was fautly and then it went dealty silent and not responding to emails! Worst online company I have ever dealt with - don't go near them!

ace little shelving unit
Very happy with the 4-tier bamboo shelving unit, bought for a tight space at the head of my bed, for bedside lamp, books, specs etc easy to assemble with everything supplied including one (!) sweet little glove to protect aging hand, i guess. Light yet sturdy, and very attractive. Swift delivery and well-packaged.

Good shed, a little bit of messing round
Bought a garden shed with exact measurements I needed. Not much communication about the delivery, and arrived within a week. Unfortunately the measurements on the box, did not match what I ordered. After a few emails back and forth, we discovered it was the correct product. This delayed assembly and was inconvenient but customer service was good and they treated me fairly. Happy ending and it's exactly what I wanted, smart, right size and will take 2 to assemble!

Would give it a 0star rating if I could. Ordered a shed with 24hour express delivery. Received 1of 2 boxes about a week later. Got the second box covered in paint with holes in it two weeks later. Complained, which is hard work. No number and takes forever for a response and was told a new part would be sent. Today I’ve waited in and now received a raised planter. NOT THE PART I WANTED. Now I have 3 large boxes blocking my garden access and I’m sat waiting for them to sort it out. They even wanted me to get rid of the damaged box of shed. Two man lift, too big for my car. Come and collect it you clowns!

Didn't even last a year
I bought a beautiful solar powered water features from them a year ago next month. I went to put water in it yesterday to start a clean and found that through the winter the bottom had cracked and come away. I took photos and sent them to Garden Sanctuary CS and was told the warranty only last 6 months nothing we can do. The item is cleary faulty if it cracks first winter. But they dont want to know.

Dear HELEN FLOOD,
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’ve experienced with your water feature.
Having reviewed your case, we can confirm the item is over warranty period. As such, we’re unable to offer a replacement or refund in this instance.
Outdoor water features must be fully drained and protected during colder months, as freezing conditions can cause expansion and lead to cracking if water remains inside. This is a standard care requirement for this type of product.
While we understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for, our position remains in line with our warranty terms. That said, we do appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve.
Best regards,
Garden Sanctuary

Dear russell devine,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — we completely understand how frustrating it is to be told a parcel has been delivered when you haven’t received it.
After reviewing the shipment with Evri, the parcel is unfortunately marked as delivered. In situations like this, Evri requires a signed non-receipt declaration so they can proceed with a formal investigation.
To make this as easy as possible, the form does not need to be printed — it can be completed and signed electronically. Once we receive this, we will immediately submit the claim and work to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.
We understand this adds an extra step and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Please be assured we’ll continue to support you throughout the process and push for a resolution.
Kind regards,
Garden Sanctuary
*DONT BUY* Awful product. NOT AS IT SEEMS.
Awful product.
Ordered a gate, arrived and it was so flimsy! I could push with my little finger. I asked for a full refund including a prepaid delivery code but they refused. This item is not fit for purpose and I explained this to them but they said it was my opinion. I'm a professional gardener/ handyman with my own business. So I know a thing or 2 about these things.

Poor delivery and customer service
We ordered a garden storage unit and we got a delivery date and slot which required us to stay in all day yesterday. No delivery happened . Got email response and link which said parcel couldn’t be located. Complained again and same response asking us to wait a few days . As responses came in middle of night I suspect A1 not a service agent. Still haven’t had product or refund. Don’t use this company.

DO NOT BUY FROM GARDEN SANCTUARY!!!
I bought a water fountain from Garden Sanctuary for my Mum as a special 70th birthday present in late July 2025, which has already stopped working (despite being properly maintained). It has been less than 1 year and Garden Sanctuary won't even replace it or refund it - unbelievable considering the standard 1 year product warranty should apply! I would urge you NOT TO BUY ANYTHING from this Company, as their customer service is appalling and they have no common decency, particularly given the circumstances, where the product was purchased for a very special occasion - To say we are dissatisfied with their services is a complete understatement, and if we could leave zero stars we would!! Karma will come your way, a bad word spreads much faster than a good one....

Dear James U'Dell,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing this must be, especially given that the item was purchased as a special birthday gift.
After carefully reviewing your order, we can confirm that it is now beyond the 6-month warranty period. Due to the length of time the product has been in use, the manufacturer is unfortunately unable to determine the exact cause of the issue, and as a result, we’re unable to offer a refund, replacement, or repair under our warranty policy.
That said, we still want to support you as much as possible. If you’re interested in purchasing replacement parts or exploring possible solutions, please feel free to contact our customer support team, and we’ll be happy to assist.
We understand your frustration and sincerely regret that we could not meet your expectations in this instance.

Dear Jayne harris,
We’re truly sorry for the continued frustration this situation has caused and for the confusion in our earlier communication.
When we first began investigating with DX Logistics, we had not yet received a clear response from them regarding the parcel’s whereabouts. At that stage, based on the limited information available, we advised that the item may have been lost in transit. Once we received formal confirmation from the courier, we were informed that the parcel had in fact been returned to us due to an address query.
We completely understand why this felt inconsistent, and we apologise that our updates changed as new information came in. Our intention was to keep you informed during the investigation, but we appreciate that this understandably caused confusion.
With regard to the address, we do not believe you provided incorrect details. Sometimes different courier networks operate with different routing systems, local depots, or driver-level knowledge of newer addresses. While other carriers may have successfully delivered to you, this particular shipment was flagged by the courier as requiring additional address information and was automatically returned. We are raising this directly with the courier to better understand why this happened.
As previously confirmed, once the parcel was returned to us, a full refund was processed. If you are still unable to see this in your account now, please message us directly with your order number and we will immediately provide the transaction confirmation and escalate if necessary.
We sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. This is not the experience we want for our customers.
Best regards,
Garden Sanctuary
