Verified ReviewerDon't Order From Burgess
Ordered from Burgess in July, $99.00. Order came USPS in September. All of the plants were crushed and slimy. Some of the items even had been substituted with items of a lesser value. Called Burgess and they refused to adjust our bill. They wanted us to ship the dead plants back at our expense. Don't order from this company!
User's recommendation: Don't Order From Burgess.

We want our refund.
We were sent wrong order and want a refund. Our order was for 3 Colorado Blue Spruce and received 30 plus some other items we did not order and was charged over $118. Instead of $9.99 plus shipping. We refused and did not open the package. WE WANT OUR REFUND! Have Burgess received the Wrong order back? FedEx picked it up September 18th.
User's recommendation: Buy local if possible.

Verified ReviewerOrder not satisfactory - customer 13753**** :DEPT,62-7676
Ordered the 3-plant Angel trees and received 3-plantings. Nurtured to maturity and now have 3-yellow blooming angel trees - NOT 3-different plantings (colors) AS ORDERED. Do I cut off two plants and return (I did not keep my shipping label as I was satisfied, or so I thought, with the order I received).....

I ordered a trailing rose bush. I could not plant it right away, so I put in a bucket (the roots) of water. I actually took 2 months to plant and the bush/tree was thriving beautifully in the water. I had never seen that 3 roses emerged. I have never seen that either,...

Dead tomato tree
I order 4 plants v6217 giant tomato tree was to grow 8' tall in three months. It didn't grow 3' in two months and now it's over half dead. I only got a quarter of the tomatoes they said I would get and they were not 1lb each like they said. I would like my money back because they lied.

Verified ReviewerDead Plants
My entire order was so dead that I couldn't do anything with them. The Blue Spruce had the needles fall off and it was totally brown. The Rose of Sharon was completely dead with no moisture. The Snowball bush was so dead that the shoots broke when I tried to remove them from the shipping bag This order was completely a bad joke.
User's recommendation: This company lies and is a joke. I will not recommend this company to anyone.

Verified ReviewerDead plants
When I received my plants, they were so dead that I couldn't even get them from the shipping bag. This was the worst cruelty to plants that I have ever seen. These plants were a joke. I will never order any more plants from you. I would like to have a refund on this order. Please put the funds on my card that I used when I ordered.
User's recommendation: I will not recommend your company to anyone.

Incompetent and overpriced shipping
I ordered 2 plants both of which are of the lowest quality I have ever seen from any mail-order nursery. One was a Juniper evergreen which may survive due to natural hardiness. The second plant is a dwarf pomegranate which arrived bent/curled over with brownish-yellow leaves without a single leaf left. Both plants are practically falling out of the pots they are in because they were packaged in a bag! Shipping was $10 (about half of the total cost) which is high but plants require special handling. When I got the plants I found the bag shoved in the mailbox. From the outside, you really wouldn't be able to tell there were live plants inside. Burgess is incompetent to sell and ship live plants. They appear to be making their profits by overcharging on shipping.
User's recommendation: Do not buy live plants from them. Think twice before ordering anything else. Product quality: you get what you pay for...kind of.

I got doop by Burgess Seeds and Plant.
I ordered some plants way back in April 2020. I Burgess N Seeds asking where is my order because they took out money from my account. When I finally got my orders it was 2 dead trees. I sent it back way back in June and I have tracking number they got it back. What would I do to a dead tree. I requested a refund and they said they refunded me but It is now Aug. 16, 2020 I have not seen the refund. They also claiming I got the rest of my order but never received it. It is now Aug. Burgess Seed &;;;;;;;;; Company is doing bad dealing. This company you can not trust. Do not order any plants from this company because its a fraud company. A very very bad company

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.
