"I am extremely disappointed with JParkers. I only received one item from my order. 6 of the 7 items I ordered have not arrived. Evri sent sn email saying part of my order was damaged in transit. And that I needed yo inform J Parkrrs, I am disgusted at this, I funny damage yhem! I tried yo contact J Parkers online and was just sent around and around by AI. I emailed am got nowhere. J Parkers need yo seriously look at there sftersales customer service. My husband had to ring them to cancel the order. Ver dissapointed. I won't be using them again."
"Spectacular fail - not a single flower from the 100 gladiolus murielae bulbs ordered (order no 23263418). I've ordered these bulbs from Avon Bulbs in the past with success so was most disappointed with absolutely zero flowers. The bulbs were planted in pots in different locations. Avon Bulbs were more expensive so maybe one gets what one pays for! Won't be repeating my mistake!"
"Ease if website and ordering. Fair pricing. Delivered well packaged and kept informed throughout. Always good quality plants. Have ordered many times and would recommend."
"Ordered a pack of 3 plants and out of the 3 only one was any good. They apologised and said they would replace them. This was in June and after several messages to them and them giving me excuses I’m still waiting."
"I ordered scabiosa for a garden display The plants were abundant in garden centres but more expensive than the Parker’s plants. I ordered £24 worth of plants Part of the order arrived The plants were poor quality and I had to grow them on for 3 weeks before they even had 1 flower I was told on the order that the other part would arrive after the end of August I was disappointed but still expect this years flowers. I phoned to find out when these plants would be delivered only to discover they will not flower until next season I feel these were mis-sold as I wanted an instant display this year I could have bought a packet of seeds for £2.50 and grown them for next year I will not be purchasing from this company again"
"My plants that survived are wonderful. My hanging baskets look great even though I had to supplement them in the top with a dozen single begonia. I feel some were lost in transit as even though your box was clearly marked this way up it was delivered on its side My experience was simple and expedient. Job well done family"
"My last order of plants were delivered in good condition and fairly swift on delivery too considering it was evri. At least I think it was, they were left in safe place although I was at home."
"Plants arrived in good condition well packed."
"The clematis armandii I ordered was very reasonably priced and arrived safely. Although small it looks healthy and as they are vigorous I expect it will grow well. J Parkers delayed delivery because they said it was not good for plants to travel in such hot weather. RHS sent me a healthy plant within a few days around the same time so I wonder if the delay was necessary."
"I was very pleased with my order from J. Parkers. The plants arrived safely, carefully packaged and looking very healthy. Everything was in great condition when it arrived, and the whole order was exactly as expected. I’d happily order from J. Parkers again."
"Plants well packed and good quality very happy"
"One of the main issues is the delivery company they use. Evri. I ordered 2 Rose Gaujard plants. One was damaged, all leafs off and stems broken. The second bush wasn’t a rose Gaujard but a yellow rose. Was promised replacements. Had emails saying they were delayed, then Evri emails saying they were further delayed. By the time I received what I deem to be the two replacements, they were dead. But even if they were alive, they would have been poor quality plants, one stem and not up to the quality I ordered from their website. I had outstanding bulbs but cancelled them and asked for a full refund. Terrible service and bad quality goods."
"The order was promptly delivered and the plants were of good quality"
"The quality of the plug plants is excellent and delivered very quickly. Great service."
"Good communication, updated regularly on progress of my order. Plants arrived in very good condition."
"Plants arrived on time and in good condition."
"Very safely packed nice fresh little plugs"
"I have previously ordered plug plants from other large national nurseries and have been extremely disappointed. However, my experience with J Parkers has been completely different. The plants arrived in immaculately condition and I was able to use every single one of them. I was extremely impressed with the quality and will only order from J Parkers in the future. 100% recommendation."
