Dreadful quality product and…

Dreadful quality product and unaccommodating, defensive customer service.

You can probably tell a lot about a company by the way they respond to negative reviews. It’s clearly Buttercup Farm’s strategy to try and blame the customer for doing something wrong and dodge any responsibilities the company has in purveying sub-standard products.

I bought some lawn edging in September 24 from them which I didn’t open over the winter because of bad weather - I stored it in its packaging in my dry garage. On opening now, I realise what a dreadfully flimsy product it is. Cheap plywood held together with staples - basically it disintegrated when I tried to hammer it into the ground. I contacted Buttercup Farm to express my dissatisfaction and wondering about a warranty. Their only response was that they wouldn’t deal with the complaint because it was outside their 2 week window. There was no acknowledgement of their responsibility in selling a substandard, inadequate product that wasn’t fit for purpose. If the product itself is such poor quality, it should be immaterial when it’s reported back to the seller, certainly within the first 12 months after purchase.

Unfortunately, the lawn edging remains for sale on their website, which indicates how much notice they have taken of my complaint.

I am very sorry to see this review.
Unfortunately we cannot have an open ended return policy.
Our terms and conditions are entered into when you purchase an item, I can see this item was purchased in September 2024 and only reported to us this month.
Our terms and conditions state the following:

In accordance with The Distance Selling Regulations in the UK, should you wish to return your order, you need to inform us within 14 days of receipt of the goods that you wish to return the order and you will have 14 days in which to return the goods to us from the date that we receive your request to return. Goods returned outside of this period will not be refunded.
In the unlikely event that goods arrive faulty or damaged, please inform us immediately so that we can replace them in part or whole.

We would expect all items to be reported within 14 days of you being in receipt of the goods to avoid such issues many months down the line. We do not see this as unreasonable.
We can only apologise for not being able to accept a return.

Be aware of using this company, hiding delivery costs then pursuing you

Ordered a duck platform, it was delivered ok. Then ordered an anchor which is an optional extra for the platform. The website allowed me to order and pay for the anchor as a separate transaction. A few days later the company contact me asking for £7.50 delivery cost for the anchor. I refused to pay it as 1) there was no delivery costs stated at the time of purchasing the anchor and 2) it clearly stated on the product page it was free delivery. I now understand free delivery applies when you purchase both the platform and anchor at the same time. Website does NOT clearly explain this and it allowed me to purchase the anchor separately with no delivery charge. After pointing this out to them along with significant usability issues on their website I invited them to show some customer service goodwill and send me the anchor while they absorb the delivery cost. They refused and gave me a refund for the anchor, I found them very arrogant and not prepared to address issues on their site that allowed this to happen. I see from other reviews this has happened before. I will never order from them again, they have no goodwill when they get it wrong, very arrogant company to deal with. Be aware of them, taking your order, hiding delivery costs and then pursuing you.

We are saddened to see your review.
Having investigated this complaint, I can see the customer service team advised that the listing showed this anchor fixing is an optional extra, and clearly states this is only available to order with the floating duck houses or platforms.
Please see the link below:

https://www.buttercupfarm.co.uk/anchor-fixing-optional-extra-only-available-to-order-with-duck-float-or-duck-house.html

We didn't want to cancel your order as we can send these out if the delivery charge is accepted.
You chose not to accept the charge and requested a refund if we couldn't send this without the delivery charge. We actioned as advised.

First class service all round

Delivery was prompt, within period shown on website. I had one query which was dealt with quickly and satisfactorily online. The Beatrice Arbour exceeded our expectations. Assembly was easy with clear instructions. Great value for money; heavy, sturdy and well constructed.
Delivery is not easy to our property. We were kept informed re the delivery and to our surprise the delivery men ( Palletforce) managed to negotiate our narrow unmade track and restricted turning area and deposited the arbour exactly where we wanted it and managed to smile and be very friendly despite the difficulties!
We wouldn’t hesitate to order from Buttercup Farm again and would recommend to friends. Thanks to all for a first class service.

I ordered a Dovecote £600+ and a duck house £1200+ and both items were poor!
the dovecote had nails sticking out in every house. the duck house was damaged and they offer me a £25.00 voucher. ha ha i wouldn't recommend this company to anyone - STAY CLEAR.

Thank you for your patience whilst I reviewed the complaint.
I fully appreciate you have suffered an issue with the dovecote; however, this was reported after you erected this onto the pole.

We would usually send someone to rectify issues, but this must be left as delivered to be able do so.
In effect you assembled the item before reporting anything to us.

We offered a gesture of goodwill for rectifying this yourself because we are now not in a position to resolve this how we would like, now the house is erected, and delivery was not refused.

The gesture of goodwill still stands should you wish to accept.

Bin storage unit

The item we ordered was delivered on time and is sturdy enough enough unfortunately it had a few optional extras that the company will only ship with the main purchase. When it turned out we did not need the extras the company refused to let us give them back as it had now fallen out of the 28 day window. Extremely disappointed with the level of service and would not use again for this reason, very inflexible regarding policy.

We are sorry to see you are not happy with our policies stated in the Terms & Conditions on our Website.

I have investigated this and have found that you advised us you had received the item on 22nd December. We received an email from you asking if the wood was treated and we advised accordingly. There was no mention at this point of a need to return.

We did try and facilitate your return when you emailed us on 11th January. You received a response from the customer service team on 13th January to ask for the reason for return, to determine how this should be returned. You had the item in your possession 20 days.

We did not receive a response from you regarding this until 11th February, this was a further 29 days from receipt of our email to you.

The terms and conditions state returns must be made within 28 days of receipt of the goods, and we actively tried to ensure this was possible for you.
Had we have received a response, we would have allowed some grace period for the Christmas holidays, to ensure this was not an issue for you.

We cannot have open ended returns time periods for items in a customers possession for this amount of time.
We hope this helps you to understand the reasoning behind our decision.

We can also see the Customer Service Manager had communicated this with you before you wrote the review, so we are sad to see this appear.

Pretty and sturdy rose arch.

Item arrived on time and was as described.
Unfortunately there were no assembly instructions but it wasn't difficult to put together. We were however missing one long bolt which was needed to assemble the top bar, but it was easy to find a replacement.
It's a great addition to the garden and will look even better when the roses grow! We liked it so much we're going to order another!

Great services and well made chicken run.

I have ordered a chicken run made to specifications. Communication throughout had been fantastic and I am very happy with a sturdy well made run with a proper roof that will last for years to come. It also looks really lovely in the garden and not harsh like omlet chicken runs. I also thought the cost was reasonable

Excellent

Lovely pair of plant supports which were delivered quickly. They are now rusting nicely in the garden and look like they have been there forever.
