I bought 10 lavender plants on 18/6/25. Two days later I received a text, purportedly from EVRI, saying they had my order but that I hadn't been in when they called (I had) and asked me to rearrange delivery. They wanted my name and date of birth, amongst other things, and I would normally have assumed it was a scam but because I was expecting my plants I emailed Gardening Express to see if they had dispatched them. I just got a cut and paste reply because there is no phone number to ring. I realised the EVRI text was a scam and then decided to look on this site to see the reviews. Yes, too late - now trying to remember to Always Look on Trust Pilot Before I Buy Anything Online Ever Again. On 2/7/25 I decided that the plants probably wouldn't come and purchased 10 of them from the local garden centre, very good quality but of course twice the price of Gardening Express. Got home and three hours later had a text from Yodel to say a?We've got your plantsa? , so yes the plants have arrived but in a very sorry state - simply wrapped in brown paper in a cardboard box. Two out of ten may survive. I realise it's hot weather but no attempt was made to provide moisture for these plants while they were in transit. It's put me off buying plants online at all.
