Delivery date missed twice and no communication

Unfortunately my experience with Paramount has not been a pleasant one. First, the Daphne in my order, which seemed in stock while ordering, was unavailable and I was offered a Viburnum instead, but I opted not to and it was omitted from the order; but then I had to chase for the refund 3 times.

Then I was given delivery date of 7 May for the trees(ordered on 31 March), but nothing was delivered and no communication from Paramount or delivery company. So I contacted Paramount and was told the order would be delivered on 8 May between 1pm-4pm. I was even told the plants were loaded to the vehicle. I waited again and same as the last time nothing was delivered and again no communication from anyone. Since then I asked for a refund and emailed them twice and I wasn't able to get a response. Their phone line is either busy or no one is picking up. I trusted the many good reviews before making the purchase but unfortunately now I doubt the genuineness of those reviews.
Edit after delivery:
3 days after I asked for a refund, the day after I wrote this review on Trustpilot and without any response from Paramount, the trees were delivered. Luckily we were home. To be fair the trees were fine, looked healthy.

Thank you for updating your review.

We are sorry you were unhappy with your experience on this occasion, although we are pleased to hear the plants arrived safely and that you were happy with their quality.

This was a lovely fairly large order involving several plant varieties sourced from different growing sites, which took additional time to prepare and dispatch. 

Unfortunately, two Daphne plants from your order became unavailable, so we subsequently processed a partial refund for these items.

Once dispatched, we provided delivery updates and the courier’s details by email. Unfortunately, the consignment was then delayed in transit for a few days, which was outside of our control.

We received your cancellation request after the order was already in transit, and tracking subsequently confirmed successful delivery.

We also reached out following your complaint to apologise and discuss the matter further, and appreciate your later update confirming the trees arrived safely and looked healthy.

We apologise again for the inconvenience caused by the delivery delay and appreciate your feedback.

Kind regards,
Peter

Treated aggressively and rudely by the…

Treated aggressively and rudely by the Manager in their Crews Hill, Enfield EN, branch. I spoke to someone over the phone 6th May about a specific tree I wanted to plant as a memorial for my dog who had just passed suddenly, He was very kind and sent me the info via email. Assuming the plants were based in the Enfield branch, next day on the 7th May I went there to see and collect the tree myself but was met with insensitive aggression by the person who claimed to be the manager of that branch. Despite telling him, we were grieving and he should calm his tone and aggression down, he refused to be polite or understanding. He mocked us and refused to back down.
I left without the tree. Those who can't treat customers with dignity should not be in sales jobs. I had a very bad experience and I won't recommend this place to anyone.

Reply to Paramount about their latest reply:

Dear Karen,
I received a response from Paramount on trust pilot acknowledging my visit the day I left the review. On 11th May I received an email and I have engaged in every possible way with your colleague Charlie. I have had an apology too. My review is honest and I have witnesses as I was accompanied by 3 other people who felt disgusted the same way. In fact they told me why didn't I write that the guy was a "racist". However I don't want to believe that the store manager was a racist, but i still believe he was rude, unprofessional and insensitive. If you do take the matter to court, I will be defending it because it's my honest opinion about the experience I had at one of your stores. Instead of coming after a customer and spending money on a lawsuit, pls spend that money in training your staff. I will not be threatened or bullied by your legal threats. There is nothing malicious or defamatory about my review. I achieve nothing from this other than warning other customers about the service and the company to do something about their staff who behave this way.
Can you please explain why have you removed the reply from trust pilot where someone from Paramount Plants acknowledged my visit and apologised for my bad experience??
Regards, Poonam

Dear Ms Joshi I responded previously to say we were sorry for the loss of your dog and that you were grieving and then attempted to engage with you via Trustpilot regarding your review and the concerns raised but received no response to our request to contact you. When a review is updated requesting more information then the previous review is deleted.

We acknowledge your position regarding your experience and note your comments. However, we continue to strongly dispute the allegations made regarding the conduct of our staff member and maintain that the events described within your review did not occur in the manner alleged. Members of staff present at the time also dispute the characterisation of events contained within the review.

Our intention in contacting you was not to cause upset, but to respond to allegations which have caused significant distress together with reputational harm to our business.

We are sorry that you remain dissatisfied following your visit, however we do not accept the allegations contained within the review and stand by our position as previously stated.

Kind regards,

Karen

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for your feedback.

I reached out to you by email a couple of weeks ago in the hope of resolving any outstanding concerns. A refund was issued for both the missing tree and the difference in height of the smaller tree.

Please do let us know if there is anything further we can do to assist.

Kind regards,
Peter

Wonderful service and good communication. The amelanchier I ordered in March arrived healthy and had a very attractive shape. I’m very happy to see it growing so well.

Excellent Service and Quality Trees from Paramount Plants

We recently purchased pleached Portuguese Laurel trees from Paramount Plants and the service throughout was genuinely excellent from start to finish.
The quality of the trees supplied overall was great. We did have a couple of the original trees that were noticeably less developed than the others and, after raising this with Paramount Plants, the issue was handled professionally and without any difficulty. I especially want to mention Peter.B from the stockteam, along with the wider Paramount Plants team, who dealt with everything quickly, fairly, and professionally.
The replacement trees we received were excellent and really exceeded expectations. They were fuller, healthier, and far more balanced in shape, which made a significant difference to the overall screening effect.
Communication from the team was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the process. On both the original delivery and the replacement delivery, the drivers were excellent. They are the last people you deal with in the transaction, so it really stood out that they were friendly, helpful, patient, and easy going. It left a very positive impression overall.
We were naturally nervous buying mature screening trees online because you never fully know what will arrive, but Paramount Plants made the entire process smooth and reassuring from start to finish. That level of service and aftercare is becoming increasingly rare.
Overall, a genuinely positive experience and we would happily recommend Paramount Plants to anyone looking for quality mature screening trees and reliable customer service.

Unable to cope

I ordered a tree based on the listed delivery timelines to arrive before or during a garden makeover. Did I get it? No. After chasing and being fobbed off by the teams I was eventually given a date over 3 weeks after the estimated timeline only to be told on the delivery day a branch has been broken and they will have to order a replacement. I cancelled the order and asked for a refund but 10 days later still waiting for it. A company seemingly run by incompetent individuals unable to manage the work.
