Yes...Avoid At All Costs
This is complaint I sent to TN BBB. June 25, 2024 we ordered a Wahington Howthorn tree from Green Thumbs Garden online, Order#22383. After numerous complaint about shipment delays, we finallyreceived a dead tree on August 2, 2024. We have exchanged over 26 emails with Bre S. and Lisa (assume they are customer service reps) regarding the fact that the tree was dead and set pictures at their request and gave the tree they sent another three weeks to verify is was not producing any buds or leaves. At first, Bre S. agreed to replace the tree if we would pay another $7.99 replacement shipping fee...we agreed but, requests for instructions onhow to proceed never came despite our numerous requests and no replacement ever arrived. After additional complaint,on October 17, 2024, a different rep, Lisa, who was very apologetic, replied that they would send a replacement and waive that additional shipping fee and a promise to ship it"next week". Since then, nothing. We have sent numerous emails in following up but only getting "canned" responses that their email system returned saying that they would respond within 3 business days. I have also called several times. Their automated answering system requesting a reason for the call, a phone number, and promise to reply within 3 days...nothing. In my last email and phone to them I did specify that I would be reporting them to BBB and/or to the Tennessee Consumer Protection Agency if they did not repsond within 3 days...that was yesterday. The phone number on their website that I used is (931) 450-3577...you could call and get the same canned message. All we want now is a refund. I do have all of our email correspondencesif that helps you but forwarding those would be an EML file and cannot be attached here. I would probably need an email address to forward it to you. Please let me know how or whether you can help resolve this. Sent to TN BBB 11/22/2024
