“Plants themselves are fine. Delivery instructions were not followed properly. And thought 2 weeks was far too long for delivery”

“A really good swift service and delivery. Plants were a good size and some bigger that I had expected which was good. However some of them had leaves that had been eaten and didn’t look that healthy. I am hoping that once in the ground they will be okay.”

“The ordering process was simple but while I give full allowance for the extraordinary times we are all facing with Coronavirus restrictions, the delivery time was nonetheless very slow - not helped by the carrier messing up the shipping and initially sending the order to the wrong end of the country - although this only added one more day to a wait time of weeks and of course is in no way the fault of Paramount. The plant (bamboo) was very well packaged but was bone dry. It arrived in fair conditition but certainly not great. Due to becoming so dry, every leaf has brown, dried out edges so at the moment, it's not looking healthy and definitely not worth the price tag. Had it been in a garden centre, it definitely would have been in the 'reduced to clear' section. That being said, it's only for the fact I know how resilient and fast growing this particular type of bamboo is, combined with not wishing to wait almost another 4 weeks for any replacement that I'm sticking with it. The new growth will not take very long and will quickly take the place of the old to improve the overall appearance. I'd possibly use Paramount plants again, albeit with some degree of hesitation.”

“I’ve only given a 3 star because we received the shrub on one of the hottest days this year so it looked in a very sorry state. I’m hoping with a lot of TLC it will recover. As soon as it was delivered I soaked the root ball and planted it with a 50/50 compost soil mix with blood/fish/bone as well. I’ve been keeping it watered over the last week, the rain we had certainly helped. A few of the smaller twigs had been broken in transit.”

“Service is good and prices very competitive for larger specimen shrubs. However our most recent purchase was not up to the usual standard we have been accustomed to from paramount.”

“The plant, a gift, was delivered as promised on the scheduled day apparently. It was disappointing that the message had not been attached/had become detached as the recipients had no idea who it was from or why. With no email confirming delivery we eventually had to call them to ask if it had arrived and give them the message ourselves which slightly spoilt the purpose! However, I understand the plant is looking good and we hope it does well.”

“Communication very poor. Arranged a delivery date only to find trees had been delivered on a different date when no one was in and just left leaning against my house on an open drive way that anyone could have taken. Not the best way to deliver some expensive items. Trees not really like images on website either.Good luck”

“The plant was good but they had told me I could postpone delivery until I had seen a photo and given the go ahead but they just delivered it. Worked out okay but made the process a bit stressful and wasn’t the device offered.”

“Delivery erratic - we requested Thursday, were allocated Wednesday but in fact delivered late Tuesday evening. Both trees healthy, one was a very good shape, the other one was not one I would have chosen.”

“Plants as one would expect for the price. Delivery is an issue as it seems there is no choice as to the day it will be booked for and ParamountPlants say the courier will not provide any smaller time window than 8am to 6pm. Not helpful.”

“The order was acknowledged quickly, and we were kept informed about the delivery. The plant (an acer palmatum deshojo), when it arrived, was well-wrapped and of good quality and health. The only slight disappointment was that it took over a month to come and so did not arrive in time for the birthday for which it was intended.”

“I got conflicting delivery times, which was irritating. It was only when I e mailed that lo the tree had come in! What a coincidence!! The rootball was massive and in solid clay. I think customers should be advised of the size and weight. It took 4 of us to manhandle the tree into the hole.”

“Bamboo was bushy and arrived safely, and the driver was very helpful. However, I was very disappointed that the bamboo height overall was only 160 cm, apart from only 3 very thin shoots, that took it to 178 cm. At this price, I expected at least 175 cm overall - the minimum quoted by you. Pics with measuring tape available!”

Thanks very much for your feedback and we are so sorry to hear about the bamboo wasn't bushy. We do send in our deliveries and feedback emails a request that a photo is sent to us within 3 days of delivery of any damaged or unacceptable plants in order that we can give further advice (in the rare circumstance of any issue ) . We do not appear to have received a photo yet so I will ask our customer services to contact you to discuss this issue with you. Again apologies for any inconvenience and our customer services will make contact. Kind regards Karen

“We ordered a 100cm Jasminum Humile Revolutum and a 50-60cm Passiflora Constance Elliot. The order/delivery experience was fine. The jasmine is doing fine so far but the passiflora died after a couple of weeks, despite being planted in a sunny sheltered location against a fence, with plenty of compost, and where we already have another passiflora thriving.”

“I have marked this Amelanchier as acceptable however it lost all its leaves. The leaves were marked with brown spots. I will say that there seems to be a lot of buds on so I am hoping that in the spring the leaves will sprout. I have been watering very regularly. If the plant does not thrive in the spring next year I will come back to Paramount Plants. Kirsten Austin”

“Plants very dry- drier than usual. Delivering very early morning on Bank Holiday Saturday was appalling when there were no workmen there to move the trees safely inside the property. It left the elderly client having to move them from the side of the country lane down a steep slope. I was away for the Bank holiday week end out of signal & didn’t receive your delivery time scale. We are not impressed. Marion Verschoyle Verschoyle Interiors Director”

Thanks for your feedback Marion. As per our previous email to you in relation to this matter we are again very sorry for any upset caused by your failure to receive our delivery date email due to the unexpected electricity failure in your area. In future, as advised in our email dated 30th August, we are happy to liaise with your clients and/or their builders regarding delivery dates and / or avoid specific dates if this information is given to us by email (or in the comments section of our website at the checkout when purchasing plants) this will be received by all team members who will assist with specific delivery dates for example avoiding weekend or bank holiday deliveries/ only deliver when builders present / call before delivery and so on. We were not informed that the delivery wasn't convenient at the weekend / bank holiday otherwise we wouldn't have delivered on that date. Is there anything further we can assist in regards to the delivery of the plants you received from us? We did immediately email to respond to these queries on the 30th August but have yet to receive a response. If we can provide any further information or assistance please let us know. Kind regards Karen
