Had before and been pleased by the product and marketing approach. Sorry to see that they are no longer commercially viable but have taken advantage of 2 kits at a reduced price.

Packaged so nicely, quick delivery and really lovely vibes from the owners and Instagram page. I found through an Instagram ad and bought immediately for my friend who wants to grow her own herbs. Lov... See more

Such a lovely gift idea and fantastic customer service. My kit unfortunately arrived with smashed terracotta pots, most likely due to the fact that a delivery man had dropped it from a height into our... See more

Hi Carrie, we are sad to see you gave us a 1* review considering the issues you have experienced were with DPD and are not reflective of our product or customer service we provided. DPD tried to deliver twice but missed you, they then sent your order back to the warehouse. After speaking with you we have arranged for another delivery which was successful. THC

First off, thank you for choosing our 'soil and fertiliser' box - it's not every day we hear about our soil and fertiliser boxes doubling as surprise gifts! But we're thrilled to hear about it.

We read your review and thought, "Hmm, our boxes are wearing more stickers than they should!" We get it; while these stickers play a starring role in our behind-the-scenes logistics drama, they might not be ready for their close-up as part of a gift.

The good news? Your feedback is like a watering can to our growth mindset. We're chatting with our logistics partner to see if there's a way to make our boxes something you’d be proud to gift-wrap.

Thanks again for helping us grow. We promise to keep working on our packaging until it's as appealing as our herbs!

Lovely pot .. BUT ...

Lovely pot, but not as frost proof as stated at point of sale. Tried for refund/replacement but was denied because I hadn't registered the pot (apparently you HAVE to do this), and I hadn't used the feet provided to stand it on (even though it was on a lattice table top with plenty of ventilation and drainage).

Hello. I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. However, it doesn't appear that you purchased any items from our store. Our customers are not asked to register their pots to get a replacement (we don't have a product registration process), and we always provide immediate replacements for items received that are not in perfect condition. Also, we don't provide feet to stand out pots on. Our products are for growing herbs indoors, so it may be that you have purchased a product from a different store.

As always, we're happy to provide help and assistance with any pots purchased from the Terracotta Herb Company.

Hello David

I am sorry to hear that you have still not received your Terracotta Herb Kit.

I checked tracking, it looks like we dispatched it on the 9th December but unfortunately due to Royal Mail strike it is taking longer for the parcel to arrive.

I have emailed you your parcel tracking details so that you can track progress. Please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@terracottaherbs.com if there is anything else we can help with.

Kind regards,
Patti

Lovely product

Lovely product, very well packaged. I would have given five stars if a notice of despatch was issued, just to have a rough idea of when delivery could be expected.
However, I am very pleased with the herb growing kit.

Broken saucer

We bought this as a gift for my son. Unfortunately one of the saucers was broken otherwise we were happy with it.

Gift

I bought this as a gift and was pleased with the product. My only disappointment was the delivery, I paid extra for next day delivery hoping for its arrival on a birthday however it took two days ( the wording on the website has since been changed ) The company took on board my complaint and refunded the extra cost however I would have preferred next day delivery as originally stated on the site .I certainly would order the product again as long as I didn’t have a deadline for delivery.

Excellent customer service

Luke and the team provided excellent customer service. Communication was great and my daughter's partner loves the herb kit (Christmas gift). I would definitely recommend The Terracotta Herbs Company.

Great green idea !!

Well designed and packaged. Great gift idea and eco-friendly. Can't comment on the herbs or success of the project as I purchased 2 of these sets as Christmas gifts so the recipients have yet to get planting !!
