Quick resolution of a mistake.

Well, after screwing up my first order, the Help Line worked, and I received the correct order rather quickly before it got too cold too plant.

Disappointed that so many of the plants I was interested in were already sold out by the time the sale ad arrived. This seems to happen every year, forcing a higher priced purchase. Good quality stuff but could do better with supply and demand.

I am VERY disappointed

I am VERY disappointed. An order I placed for several different ferns, hostas, and creeping phlox, all of which I believed would be shipped to me in the spring of 2027. I was SHOCKED when they arrived earlier this week, much too late to be ground planted this season in my USA location!! My area has experienced frost and I could just cry about this.

Good healthy looking bulbs

Good healthy looking bulbs. Lost one of the pkgs and thought it wasn't shipped, then found in garden wagon. Brecks was more than willing to replace the ones I thought didn't get, glad I found it before it was shipped and was able to stop it, and again very helpful 😀

Lots of spam mail, and slow shipping

Four days after saying something has shipped, and six days after ordering, my package still has not shipped. They also start spamming you with emails as soon as you place an order. I’m unsubscribing, blocking and won’t be ordering from them again.

I never received my order as FEDEX messed up the shipping. When I called Brecks said they couldn't contact FEDEX as it was a third party.
After calling Brecks a third time to get a refund, I was on hold for 30 mins and then told my order was invalid.

I love Brecks

I love Brecks! I get so many nice plants from them. I’m especially lucky with their bulbs. I’ve had a little trouble with their live roots, but customer service is wonderfully accommodating! I’m running out of room to plant things and have started planting in my daughters garden!

I’ve purchased from Breck’s Bulbs…

I’ve purchased from Breck’s Bulbs several times over the years. I’ve had okay success with the bulbs, some grew, some didn’t, but I’m really annoyed with my most recent experience.

I placed an order in August for fall shipping. I totally understand that time frames may shift, etc, but one of my partial orders said label created well over a month ago. I finally reached out, twice, via email. No response, but suddenly the order began moving in the system. The bulbs arrived, soft and squishy. When I again emailed to ask what took them so long and to question if the bulbs were good, I finally received a response, 2 days later, saying they were shipped from holland, out of their control, blah blah blah, BUT the bulbs are probably fine.

My main gripe is the total lack of communication. Not a word until five days after the initial email inquiries, when they could see the bulbs had been delivered. All I wanted was for someone to say they were on the way.

I think I’m done ordering from Breck’s. A little courtesy and customer service can go a long way.

The Dahlia Lovers catalog states in at least 5 places that shipping is free for orders over $50 through 11-6. None of these informational bubbles specifies that a code is needed. Nonetheless, I was charged 16.98 on my order.
