Thank you for your inquiry regarding some nursery stock you have received from us
In your letter, you state that part of the merchandise has not started to bud or leaf outThis is not UnusualDuring the first year after transplanting, plants
bud and leaf out much later than established nursery stockIn addition, living nursery merchandise can be shipped by mail only in the dormant stateTime and proper planting procedures are required so that life can be generated from the dormant plant tissueWe are enclosing an additional copy of our planting instructions for your reading and assistance
However, if your plants do not begin to leaf out after six weeks, just return this letter and the original shipping label, as required by the guarantee, and we will be happy to either send you a replacement or issue a credit voucher
Thank you again for your letter and we are sure, if given more time, your plants will develop into beautiful and Satisfactory specimens
Very truly yours,

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2016/06/14) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The weeks for the plants to start growing is the end of the month, so far they have not startedI will wait the week and see what happens.I have never heard of having to send the dead plants back for a refund, and at my costWho , wants to send back mud.They hope I threw the original shipping label out, but I have it

I am rejecting this response because:
I have already expended too much time and postage returning the shipping label TWICE to Direct Gardening (House of Wesley)They need to replace the plants without any further discussion. If they had spent as much effort responding positively to my initial request we could have all avoided this unnecessary waste of timeThey've lost me as a customer regardless of the outcome and I will advise family/friends to avoid using them

I am rejecting this response because:First, remember the replacement order was required because most plants I received from the initial order were dead, e.g, of creeping phlox were deadI followed their replacement guarantee by sending the original shipping label to themEvery single plant in the replacement order I received was dead.I then contacted you, the Revdex.comYou contacted House of Wesley and they replied ".....return the original shipping label from the package of replacements....and they will process the replacement order in a timely manner."I again followed their guarantee for replacement plants and without notification to you the Revdex.com or to me they credited my credit card with $I discovered this credit when I was reviewing my credit card balance for that month.I spent time and other money to prepare the ground for these plantsIn addition there is no other plant company I have utilized that would, first deliver mostly dead plants to a customer and second if there was a mistake they would make up the order with good plantsNeither of these were provided by this company.Since I now know I will not receive good plants from the House of Wesley for a resolution of this matter I need the House of Wesley to be given an unsatisfactory grade by the Revdex.com
