Verified ReviewerTerrible service
I ordered a peach tree and a gala apple tree to be sent as gifts. The peach tree was sent but no apple tree. After 4 emails to them with no response, I wrote a letter. I then was able to get an answer via phone and was told they would not ship apple tree until spring 2021! I then wrote a 2nd letter asking for refund for the apple tree that was never sent. Today I get a letter back stating I have to return original shipping label for a replacement. There is NO shipping label! The apple tree was NEVER shipped. I want my money back. This company is terrible!!!
User's recommendation: DO NOT deal with this company! If there were a minus rating they would get it. Do not deserve even one star.

Bad experience.....wrong plants shipped
Placed an order early April. Bad delivery time - the order arrived mid June while it was 92degrees out ( should have been shipped for early spring planting or late fall for winter planging) Sent wrong plants- blue spruce tree was normal white pine tree. Weeping willows were Rose if Sharon bushes. No answer from customer service. Do not recommend this company for your supplies - buy local instead.
User's recommendation: Do not use.

Let the company propose a solution
Good thing I didn't rely on this company for my garden because nothing grew that they sent me. The seeds I received never came up, so I had to replant using Gurney's seeds and plants and guess what they grew. I will never order from Burgess again two years in a row...

Status of order
on the year warranty, it states to send in original packaging as proof of purchase and a written statement of what needs to be replaced. Did as requested. No feedback and the phone lines are always busy. Can't contact anyone to find out if replacement trees are coming or when they are coming. out of 13 three only 4 are alive.

Undelivered and unredeemable merchadise.
The company unfortunately has a nice scam going. Ordered a plant. They responded: "Despite what our catalog said, we can't send it to your state. But here's a coupon you can redeem on your next order." But to use the coupon, I have to pay a $9.99 S/H charge. For the privilege of paying for them misrepresenting the availability of their product originally. Plus many of their products are overpriced and can be obtained locally at less cost.

Let them keep my money since I do not wish to do business with them.
There is no customer service. Phone does not work e-mail a joke
I ordered seeds no plants expecting to get them faster because in that way I did not have to wait or take my chance receiving plants in bad shape because there are some delays with the mail. I was wrong, situation is worse than expected; four weeks later they said order was is process two weeks after that we are still waiting. My gift now ....is a nightmare my sister still waiting. Look for a different NO messages.
User's recommendation: Look for other company.

Plants died. Customer service did not replace.
The plants I received promptly dies even with perfect care. Customer service via phone took days and days to reach and then they instructed me to return item w/original paging which I did. Then they sent back my note AND the original packaging and instructed me to write exactly what happened. Which I did. I have emailed repeatedly and to this date have not received a replacement for the 2 dead plants. I make my living professionally as a gardener. I would not order from Burgess unless you want dead or dying plants and zero customer service.
User's recommendation: Do NOT order from this company. Try your local garden center.

Verified ReviewerTerribly unprofessional company
This company just sucks, ordered two separate orders and they never arrived. Contacted the company via email because nobody ever answers the phone there and after emailing several times they replied with only "I'm sorry we cancelled your orders." That's it, nothing else. I'm going to have a literal blast talking bad about this company every chance I get. They don't deserve any kind of star, maybe a void like a black hole
User's recommendation: don't order from this company.

I have written 3 times with a request for replacement plants. The first time they said they were sorry I hadn’t sent them the original shipping label, but I had.
The second time they said they had no record of receiving my shipping label which was enclosed again and resent in the second mailing. I attempted to scan and email the request again. They said they couldn’t open the pdf file because it was a “security risk.” I then confirmed the mailing address, and mailed the request for the third time. A month later I checked in, and they claimed they had no record of receiving the 3rd letter.
I asked them if I could fax the letter.
No response yet. My experience- 6 months so far -and counting.
