ANSWER THE PHONE
Tried to order some bulbs and flowers for fall
you can not call up the company without clicking on dozens of lines and then you can not get the website.
User's recommendation: easier access to the web site.

trying to order from them
Ripped Off
This company misrepresents their product. You will NOT get anything that resembles the plants shown. You'll get little dead sticks or worse. Their refund policy is a bad joke. You will NOT get a refund. You get a certificate that can only be used by them and, if you don't use it all, you forfeit the rest of your money! Imagaine doing business with a company that steals from you!
User's recommendation: don't even think about doing business with these unethical people!!!

Plants arrived dead
Waited 8 weeks to get my order and the plants arrived dead. Squishy dead. The telephone on their website is permanently busy and 3 contacts using their website forms have produced NO responses from anyone in customer service. They are the worst.

Late shipment and dead plants
I ordered early the first of March and I called and e-mailed them several times. I finally decided that I would ask for a refund because it was getting too late for some of the plants. After requesting a refund they said they couldn't because it was already in the shipping department. When I finally got the plants I only found two that still had life. I planted both but only one survived. I spent $54.00 for only one plant. I will never order from them again and I hope no one else goes through this terrible mess.
User's recommendation: Do not order.

Verified ReviewerNever received order for May 30
Well people they came dead. Tried to revive them but no use. Sorry I chose your company so far away. Could have been the post office fault, don't know. Wish they would have made it
User's recommendation: disappointed but with the virus it's understandable everyone is having difficulty.

No shipment,no response,took money
I ordered from Burgess in early May. They took the money for the order but never shipped it. I tried contacting them by email twice and got an automated response stating they would get back to me in a couple of days. No response yet. It is now going on the 2nd week of July. I'm trying to be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt regarding their "Covid 19" hype. TThink twicwime will tell for sure but it's not looking good at this point.

They suck
I ordered red bird in a tree shrub..waited weeks to get it.sent them an email asking if it was shipped got a generic email back it was then shipped fed ex. Upon opening the package yesterday i find a totally different plant than what i ordered and totally wrong for my area where the plant would go. They stuck a label on the plant stating red bird was out of stock replaced with red lobelia. I dont have constant moisture or water in my yard for that plant! Why would you just substitute without asking me first or contacting me about it and take my money???? Tried calling them yesterday and phone is off the hook you cant get through nor was email acknowledged. I want my money back!
User's recommendation: Dont bother!

Scam Company, Zero Customer Service
No Stars for these guys. I ordered a bunch of seed packets back in early April, and Burgess charged my credit card for the order. As of today June 30 I still have received no seeds and I've been unable to get a refund from them. I've tried calling them at least 20 times, but their phone is ALWAYS busy, and I've never been able to get through. I've emailed them several times but only get auto replies. My mistake was ordering from Burgess, never again.
User's recommendation: Keep shopping- there are a lot of seed & plant companies out there.

Lost order
Called several times about an order placed in May2020. Finally got through and they told us they were backed up due to covid19 but would ship ASAP. Never received items however they did debit our account for $73+ on June 6. Emailed them about not receiving order and were told they cannot find order!
User's recommendation: Very poor customer service.
