No Item, No Response
*Since posting my initial review, the plant has been received and John has been super helpful, processing a partial refund for the inconvenience and keeping me in the loop every step of the way. I hope the company provides this level of service at the offset* I paid premium rates for an XL Bird of Paradise plant as a housewarming surprise for my son, but the order is now stuck in limbo with the dispatch team and I’ve received no meaningful updates. I reached out to Lively Root over the weekend only to discover they offer customer support solely Monday to Friday, eight to four. The only response I received during the week was a generic, AI-generated email saying they were “looking into it,” with no timelines or indication of when this would be resolved. I’ve chased every day since and still haven’t heard anything back. I’m very disappointed. I paid in good faith, but the item never arrived and the lack of communication has been extremely frustrating.

Hi Oona, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback! This is certainly an unacceptable experience and a manager is calling you today to resolve this issue.
