Order never received

order placed, never received after waiting 6 weeks.
No communication received at any stage, finally asked to cancel order and refund.
Request was ignored, when I called to find out why, I was left on hold.
Not a company I could recommend.

Ordered planters which were shown as in stock. Took over a month to arrive but Elizabeth phoned to apologise and explain delay due to suppliers in Estonia. I would recommend to double check delivery times before ordering.

great product and helpful staff

I just received my wooden trellis planter, the quality is fantastic and the delivery was speedy! Elizabeth was very helpful and advised me that I can adjust the height of the trellis myself. Will be ordering again
