While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Nordic Aqua Design är en svensk webbutik med fokus på akvarieväxter, aquascaping och tillbehör för akvariehobbyn. Vi startade med en passion för växtakvarium och har på kort tid vuxit till en av Sveriges största leverantörer av akvarieväxter online. Vårt mål är att erbjuda ett brett sortiment av friska växter, noggrant utvalda produkter och inspiration till både nybörjare och erfarna akvarister. Som ett växande företag och ett mindre team arbetar vi ständigt med att förbättra våra rutiner kring lager, leveranser och kundservice. Levande växter är färskvara, vilket ibland innebär snabba förändringar i tillgång och leveranstid, men vi gör alltid vårt bästa för att hjälpa våra kunder och hitta lösningar när något inte blir som tänkt. Vi uppskattar all feedback från våra kunder och använder den för att fortsätta utveckla Nordic Aqua Design.

Not only are they unreachable by email, but their services dont work, creating an account, chat function? They dont provide updates on the order, delay it, send out ship notification claming they have packed it and its on its way... as if, ive not recived any information apart from a claim its been shipped. I made sure to place my order before 20:00 on sunday, and they still took more then a week to "ship" it, yet so far ive seen no proof of them doing so. Not only do i wish to get in contact with them, but i doubt any of the guarantees they provide are legit. The webbsite looks promising offering klarna and other "safe" paymemt methods, but once you get to the checkout they dont offer them due to technical issues.... and so you end up having to order without any buyer protection, with a company that wont respond to their emails. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone and regret placing my order.

Update: After several confirmations that they would refund me (starting in September and latest November 11th 2025), I have still not been refunded by this company. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Short of it: Delay then the agreed refund not completed. Very, very hard to get in touch, always some excuse. Do not follow through with what they say.
Longer version:
Ordered and after contacting them myself to find out what was happening, I was told that there was a small delay. After waiting longer, I contacted them again and after several attempts, I finally got offered a cancellation and refund, which I agreed to.
I have still not received a refund. I contacted them several times and there is only ever an answer when I threaten to report them or ask if the business is legitimate. How hard is it to refund someone.
Out of the blue I got an email saying the plants were on their way. I had to contact them.. again.. and got an assurance that I would be refunded.. again.
Still nothing. Worst experience. Always some excuse. I can only think of one reason why after all this time there has still not been a refund.
I'll be buying from other companies in the future, the goods come from elsewhere anyway.
