Michigan Bulb Co.Reviews of michiganbulb.com

years ago i ordered from michigan bulb and they came back great everything bloomed and came back bigger the following year. i ordered something recently and it was terrible i will never order again from them,

Why the Michigan Bulb website displays a 4.5⭐ rating is a complete mystery to me. When I placed an April 2, 2023 order, my online cart showed 0-2 weeks shipping for each item with a confirmation email received the following day. The 1st time I checked my account status, there were five different shipping periods (!!!=should have 🛑ed this order!) that came to be continually postponed until the 5th was finally received 2.5 months later in June with the now added 6th completely cancelled. Before the end of April, I called and/or emailed at least five times when partial shipments were scheduled to occur and 5 different family gifts would not arrive on time to be transported on a scheduled 3 hour driving trip and again when I would have been swamped planting a scheduled early May delivery of 32 live plants along with another previously postponed twice Michigan Bulb delivery before leaving on a 1 week vacation. Each time I was told that a "rush" would be placed for specific shipments and the rest of my order. Other Problems: Another personalized family gift was supposed to have purple blooms but are instead showing not-ever-going-to-change pink ones. Some of the bare root items looked nothing like the online images shown "shipped as" while others couldn't be found again on the website after delivery to check for "shipped as" images or growth requirements and planting instructions. When I called about a "Hardy Carnation" that I couldn't tell which part should be facing up when planted, I was told to "just plant it" and still don't see any growth activity after a month and had to use other resources to determine it's light, soil and water requirements.

ordered 8 plants last summer for fall planting. None grew. Made complaint to Michigan Blub and they graciously gave me credit. Ordered 8 more blubs and plants for summer planting and only 2 have grown. Supposed to be 3 Toad lily blubs, only 2 in package, told me they were out. Don't waste your money on this company. Go local if you can.

Ordered 3 Elephant ears bulbs, planted when suggested, 1 out of 3 bloomed, the other two are dead. Not quality at all. Never Never again will I ever order from this place. I would inform Michigan Bulbs, but they would just give me store credit, not interested in any of their products ever again

I don't trust this company at all and neither should you! I purchased a few items from them this spring - thinking all would ship in a normal amt of time. Received the first 2 items back in spring. The rose bush looked dead and took a long time to finally put out a few leaves. The other 2 items have yet to arrive. Seems the shipping dates keep getting pushed out on their web site. Who wants items to arrive in the middle of a hot summer in the midwest?? If I ordered them in spring, I expect them in spring. Will never purchase from this company again. I think it is a HUGE SCAM!!! Buyer beware!

I ordered a Mother's Day Gift on 4/28/23, on 5/2/23 they charged my credit card and created a FedEx Label. On 5/12/23 I called to see where my order was and they said "Oh we are out. We will have to refund you." They only created the fedex shipping label to charge my card. This company is a scam. Do not buy from them. They will charge your credit card and not send the product and don't care. They either over sold or never had the product. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. SCAM

I placed an order on 4/12/23 and received a confirmation with a shipping date of 4/17/23, " items available for shipping" Since that date I have checked the "order status" daily. Each day I see that the ship date is put off further and further. I have called customer service 3 times and each time I am told that someone will call me back within 24 hours. Still NO call back and the reps refuse to provide names or transfer me to supervisors. I am told that the supervisors name is "Staff" , how absurd is that. If I did not need to fill in spots in my yard I would cancel the order. But I can state that I will NEVER place another order with Michigan Bulb Co. and I urge everyone else to NEVER order from them.

I ordered 4 items yesterday. They sent me a "confirmation" later that day. I saw that it was for another type of plant and immediately sent them an email-with the order number etc. and asked that they not send the plants. This was done before their earliest ship date. I called them today. They said that they had not looked at my email but had shipped the items earlier than expected. They refused to give a refund or stop the shipment (which has not been picked up by the carrier) After speaking to a supervisor who admitted they had shipped it earlier and that I had immediately tried to contact them right away, said that they might give a refund once the product arrives but it might take over 10 DAYS for the item to reach me.
