Absolutely fantastic

Everything about the purchase of my Christmas tree in a pot has been fantastic.
Great system. Lovely interactions.
And the tree itself is superb. I bought the pot too, very classy colour.

Great Christmas tree

Many thanks for the incredible Nordmann fir tree you delivered today - it is the most perfect tree we have ever seen, and really good value!! It was a most pleasant surprise. After Christmas it will go into the garden until next season, but meanwhile we’ll definitely be coming back to you for other trees.

Our potted Christmas tree was such a…

Our potted Christmas tree was such a disappointment: very thin and sparce. My child cried when he saw it.

I’ve just had a reply from Muddy Trowel and the problem is that they say ‘we replace trees that are outside our guidelines’. And that’s the problem: trees outside the ‘guidelines’ being passed as acceptable: if there was Quality Control that would be preventing that. It’s not okay that it’s down to the customer to be alerting the company, and dealing with all the upheaval and disappointed children, that the trees aren’t within their own description. I paid over £100 for a 5.5 foot tree. It is 5.5 foot (only if you include the pot) but that’s the only specification they got right. The tree is very thin and sparce. It’s the tree that wd be left behind on a Christmas tree market.

Hi Caz - we're so sorry to hear you were disappointed with your tree. Just wanted to check whether you got in touch with our customer service team directly as I can't see anything on our system? Any tree that is outside of our size guidelines, we make sure to swap or offer a refund as soon as possible. I'll get an email sent to you now and it would be great if you could send us through some photos so we can see the tree and decide on the best course of action!

I ordered the wrong size tree and the bigger size was delivered, placed on my sideboard (as too heavy for me) and the smaller one taken away.
Thankyou

Christmas Tree Disappointment

Ordered a 6ft potted xmas tree. Order process & delivery were good. However the tree is really disappointing.
Whilst healthy, the tree is 'gappy' and scraggy and doesn't come close to matching the price tag. To be honest I'm surprised that someone picked it out as okay to be sent to a customer. I wanted a tree we could plant and bring in each year which was bushy and reflected the £110 price tag. Now I'm waiting for it to be returned (at a cost to me of £25) but I'm not even sure when this is happening and I'm waiting for my refund.
Frustrating when money is tight and I thought this would be an investment tree for future years. I guess my point is - that perhaps Xmas trees aren't the things to buy online without seeing.

Hello

We were so sorry that you were disappointed with your tree. As explained, they are living items and so the shapes do vary slightly from tree to tree, but we do try our best to pick the best shape and sizes to meet our client's requirements. All of the trees we send out are very healthy, but we understand that sometimes customers might have a specific shape in mind, which is totally understandable!

We confirmed with you earlier today your collection slot this week so we can pick up your tree and process your refund, but please do get back in touch if there is any information you were missing.

Thanks

I ordered the Crimson Touch and Winter Sun collections. Plant quality and size were excellent. All the plants are thriving in their new homes. I used my own pots and would have appreciated detailed planting design guides to reproduce the marketing photos. Alao, I recommend Muddy Trowel for the freshness of their plants and plastic free packaging.
