I ordered a pre-sale creeping thyme plant to be sent during proper planting season. Because I ordered it long ago, I cannot dispute the charge with my bank. The plant arrived crunchy dead. Like, incredibly dead. There was no saving it. I emailed customer service and was offered a credit. I never received the credit and when I emailed again, there has been no response. I’m incredibly frustrated and just want a refund. I do not want to purchase from this company again.Business response

I purchased products from Jackson and Perkins online and authorized payment online. A few days later the company charged my account again without my approval for an additional .7 cents. I asked them why to would chare my card without permission. They stated it was a tax adjusted and they do this all the time. I have never experienced this from any merchant. The main point is that charged my account without permission.Business response

I ordered plants - 8 live plants - First they overcharged me on sales tax @ 6% - Went in and took more $ on my pay pal. We are 6% and there is no tax on shipping. I finally receive the box of dead, dried up broken plants. Unacceptable. An avid Gardner and horticulturist, I do know the difference. I called three times, each time waiting on hold for better than 1 hour each time. They do not answer the phone. I am out $30 for shipping for this mess. They can pick up the plants and credit me for them.Business response

First I was asked for the order receipt. It is attached. Thank you.
I am unclear how they can refund without the order Number. so a copy of the receipt is now attached so there is no issue.
Thank you.

We spent ****** on plants that arrived too late in the season to survive over our winter. The order came in October, 2022. Those tender and tiny plants never had a chance to take root nor did the the bulbs. However, I waited over winter, now it's springtime... there are only a few spring blooms and no new growth for the plants, the space is empty. All I have is bare soil to show for the ******. I have reached out to the company 5 times answering all their questions. They want a photo of the plants that didn't make it. How can I send an image of something that doesn't exist? I have given them the order number and listed out all the items for them as they requested. I have not heard anything back from them. At first, I was hoping for replacements, now, I just want a refund. The refund will allow for me to go to a real nursery and purchase what we wanted or seeds to grow them myself. So very disappointed in this company. I expected better from them in so many aspects of this transaction.Business response

I have placed two orders with Park Seed. However my Apple Card has three charges from Park Seed. The first order was placed on 3/30/23 ************ with the total being $66.58 (I was charged $66.69). It was shipped on 3/31/23 ********* and has been received. The second order was placed on 4/2/23 ************ with the total being $22.04 (I was charged $22.10) It was shipped on 4/5/23 ********* and has been received. I received a third charge from Park Seed on my Apple Card on 4/6/23 for a total of $67.33, but did not place an additional order. That same day I received an email from them stating that “the order shipped, unfortunately, you may have received a shipping confirmation with the wrong tracking information. Although the tracking information is incorrect, your order will be delivered to the address you provided.” I sent Park Seed an email on Saturday April 8,2023 stating the above information. I made a call to them on Monday, April 10,2023 and was told the first charge was a hold and would be removed. I called again on Wednesday April 10, 2023 and spoke with “Rio” and was told the “hold charge” would be removed in 24hours. I received an email from “Sonia” on April 13th stating that my ticket would be closed since I spoke with a representative. I responded that email that it had yet to be resolved. (The request number was #******). I replied to the email thread again on April 14, 2023 stating the issue has yet to be resolved and again today April 17, 2023 after another call to customer service ended with a dropped call. Bottom line, I placed two orders and still have three charges from Park Seed on my Apple Card and would like the additional charge to be removed.Business response

I ordered seeds online from Park Seeds on January 2, 2023 for a cost of 70.99. I received duplicate shipments with the same order number and my credit card was billed for both shipments. I called the customer service number on 4 occasions, each time I was told to expect credit within a few days. I no longer expect that they will correct their mistake. I attached the original order, both packing slips with the documented calls and the charge on my credit card of 142.14.Business response

I wanted to buy a plant from website Jackson & Perkins. After making the purchase, they told me that the purchased plant could not be shipped before spring (this information was not disclosed at the time of purchase). I then asked to cancel the order as I needed the plant now. They told me in two separate emails that they canceled the order and the pending charges, but I still see the charge pending on my PayPal account after few weeks from cancellation. The Jackson & Perkins website says they normally change customers (the PayPal pending charge become effective) when the plant is shipped in Spring, so I would not want to be charged later on as I canceled the order already (confirmed by them in two different emails).Business response
