Gardeners' Collection, Inc.

We have issued a refund $89.83.  However, we were issued a chargeback as well so the customer needs to contact their credit card company since we are owed reimbursement.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I have never received the shipment and it is now June 17th. They need to supply you and myself with a valid tracking number showing this delivered. I cannot believe it...

took two weeks for a response like this. All I want is my credit card refunded. When contacted not once would they give me a tracking number. If you or this business cannot supply me with a valid tracking number showing where I signed for this shipment by today then I will be contacting the [redacted] of my state and filing a complaint for mail fraud. The company told me it shipped 04/23/15 and when I contacted them on 06/15/15 I was told it shipped that day. WHEN DID THIS SHIP, SUPPLY ME WITH A TRACKING NUMBER SHOWING IT DELIVERED SO IF WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS TRUE I CAN WORK WITH THE CARRIER. If I do not receive this information by end of day I will be contacting the [redacted] of my state for mail fraud and include all this documentation showing what little was done on my behalf by your branch to solve this issue. This is unacceptable. 
I have attached the original email I received from the company!
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Customer called and advised that the items were not received so the company resent them again at no cost on or about May 15. They should be there shortly

Customer did order various plants from the company and if they did not survive or were in bad condition we can offer a reshipment of the same plants next year or a full refund for the value of the plants.  A review of the customers service logs does not indicate that she/he has contacted us...

to indicate her preference.A

I am rejecting this response because:The representative from Gardeners' Collection is requesting US, the customer.  to provide paperwork (Account number or invoice number) that the order was filled,when, in fact, our complaint is that our order was NOT FILLED, and therefore, we do not have access to any such numbers.  I DO have a copy of the original order.This is a MAIL ORDER operation.  We sent in our order by mail with Check No. [redacted] in the amount of $94.78.  Our bank ([redacted]) shows they made good on the check to Gardeners' Collection on 3-5-15.  Ask the Company to check their accounts received records, which I presume they keep in better order than their mailing operation.  If necessary, I will request our bank to print a copy of the cancelled check as proof of payment.It is strange that on 5-5-15 at 10:45 a.m. in a phone conversation with Gardeners' Collection order clerk [redacted], she  was able to find our order form (naming each of the items we had ordered), declared that it had been mislaid, and assured us that it would be filled that same week.  The documentation was in their office on that date. What has become of it since that time is THE COMPANY's responsibility to address.

We called the customer.  A refund will be issued today.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am...

rejecting this response because: This is true. That is the email I was sent. However this email was sent to me over and over and to my friends and family who also ordered. SO, their is no way on earth this is true. My cc was perfect. I used different cards. I would like you to ship them next year, but I doubt that will ever happen. I want to know why this did not only happen once or one year, BUT several years in a row to several different people all getting them same email back. This is not a one time thing here. It seems to be a scam. I ordered my mom ordered my sister ordered and not one of us has a single tree. Then we get emails saying are cc was rejected and the nursery is closed. Do you see the issue here? A:: used different cards and I used different cards year after year all with lots of money available. I bought a darn fence for 5k just last month with the one I tried to use.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

to me as long as they follow through. Their offer was to ship the order next year or refund.  I would like a refund to this order ASAP.  I do not know how to get a hold of this company to ensure that they refund me.  They do not respond by phone or email.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:
It is good to get an apology.It is good to get a PROMISE of a refund.Since we have heard several different versions/promises from the company about our order, which leave a strong aftertaste of doubt, we will reply to the Revdex.com that we accept the offer and consider the complaint resolved when we ACTUALLY RECEIVE OUR REFUND CHECK  from Garden Collections.Sincerely,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. It still mystifies me how the "business" (and I use this term questionably) can supposedly have sent our plants as recently as last week when now all of a sudden, then don't have any of the account information. Where were the plants supposedly sent? It saddens me how unprofessional this business turned out to be. Mistakes happen. If my order got lost, all the company needed to say was the order got lost. That would have been so much better than the pathetic song and dance I received. Add to that the smart-mouthed woman who took my phone call months ago. Now this has become a lose-lose situation. 
I am going to provide the requested information, but you must realize how skeptical I am that a refund will actually be made. It would be greatly appreciated if someone from Gardener's Collection would let me know when I might expect the arrival of said check. I told the smart-mouthed woman w/GC that I was going to report the company to the Revdex.com if my order didn't arrive or a refund was sent. I did what I said I would do.. All I can say is that if the refund check doesn't arrive in a few day's time, I will be left with no alternative than to pursue this with another agency, this time with the government. Today is June 22nd, 2015. If the check has not reached me by July 1st, I can only assume you have lied to me ONCE AGAIN. On July 1st, 2015, I will take action AGAIN to rectify this problem.
