What a scam.... I ordered over $100 in plants and seed in July 2020. By August 2020 I received the seed portion of my order. I called them to follow up with the rest of my order, understanding shipping is delayed due to the pandemic, and they told me they should be...

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.

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.

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.

Cancel my order
My orders were not received in time to plant. Your customer folks said my 1st order (ordered on 4/10/20) was set to go out "at any time" in an email on 5/12, yet my check -$92.69- had been deposited and paid back on 4/27/20. I made a 2nd order on 5/10/20 -$81.21- on a visa card and have heard nothing/seen nothing from you in it's regard. Cancel this order and refund my 1st order as I have had to go out and buy replacement seed to be able to get my garden in. The root stock and plants are no longer needed either. I know this has been a hard season for businesses, but leaving customers 'out in the cold' is no way to do business. A contact to us would have gone a long way towards retaining business for next year. But that time has come and gone now. Do what is now necessary and refund my paid order and cancel the other. Thank you. Sincerely, Karl severance

My tel from you and it took a long time for you to deliver them and only 4 survived i
My name is Jose E Coronado tel. # (210) 280- ** ** I order some bushes from you and by the time I got them only 4 survived, I paid $45 or $43 I have been trying to contact you for over a month but your customer service # sounds busy all the time. Please call and let me know what to do, last time I called your phone was working and I talk to a man and he told me that they would be the mail in 2 weeks and it took 3 weeks to arrive, they were in a very poor condition some were broken I planted them and only 4 survived. If you have a new phone # let me know because there is something wrong with that phone. On Feb 9 1920 I sent you a check for $16.45 a month I called and talked to a girl, and she told me that I was short about 27 or 28 dollars, so I gave her my credit cad info. and you withdrew the money, so please give me call so that i can return the dead bushes and get new ones or get my money back.

Unasked changes in my order.
My order was changed and i wasnn't asked if I wanted the items they sent instead of the ones that I ordered and I wanted to know if the items were going to be in stock any time soon .
User's recommendation: Check and make sure that the items that you want are available.

Rose tree dead on arrival
We ordered a rose tree in February. After it arrived and we planted it, it has never shown any signs of life. Totally dead! We sent a letter with all the required paperwork for a replacement, but have never received a response. Phone is always busy, and they do not respond to email. We will never order from Burgess again!
User's recommendation: Do not order from Burgess!
