“Ordered two types of garlic and some seed. Had to order twice, once for onions and once for garlic, so it costs me twice the postage. I received two white bulbs of garlic, while one should have been purple. I contacted The company once by email, once by form on their website and I tried to leave a phone message. Message box was full, no reply has been given on my emails, so I have planted the white bulb that should have been purple. The website says they are very busy, but I won’t order again from them if they don’t have the decency to answer their mail.”

“After good service previously from SimplySeed, I was on this occasion disappointed on two counts: firstly the packet content was incomplete by one third, i.e. 10 seeds, not 15 and secondly, I still await reply from SimplySeed, having emailed a complaint on May 25th.”

“Delivery was very quick, but unfortunately only half the order was delivered. Minimal response after several emails requesting an update on when the remaining items will be delivered.”

“I have used SimplySeed successfully for several years. This year, however, two varieties of vegetable seeds failed to germinate. I had no problems with other seeds from the same order, I am very disappointed that SimplySeed has not even had the 'Simple' courtesy responded to my enquiries.”

“You can get good seeds from many places both online and in shops/garden centres. Delivery is the important factor for me and this is where SimplySeed is a let down. The courier they used did not leave the package or a card of what to do next. I had to “Google it” to find phone number of the delivery company. They could redeliver but not tell me when during the delivery day. I could not take a day off so had to drive 20 miles to pick up the items. I contacted SimplySeeds to explain this and they wasn’t interested. I don’t think I’ll use them again.”

“I ordered garlic cloves and onion sets but as you were not delivering until the end of September and I was going on holiday for a week on the 30th I was concerned that I might miss the delivery so I tried to contact you. I rang in the afternoon only to be told the phone would not accept any more messages. Tried next morning same result. My next attempt at contact with yourself was by text message which I sent explaining the situation and asking you to delay my delivery until I came back from holiday. No response from you. Luckily my parcel arrived two days before I left for my holiday otherwise they would have been left outside until I returned. This makes me reluctant to order from you in the future as contact with you seems impossible.”

“The specified size of the potatoes given was 55mm x 35mm, but about a quarter were smaller and quite a few were squidgy.”

“The product is fine but the delivery cost is excessive at least double. There are plenty of delivery company contracts for 1/2 the amount that I paid.”

“I ordered nomastodes for vine weevils. They arrived and I put them in the fridge until about a week or so later when I decided to use them. When I removed the outer packaging, I noticed they weren't like the other packet I'd used a few weeks earlier. They were clumped together as if a small amount of water had somehow got in the box and made them damp. I prepared and watered them in anyway, but, unlike the slug nomastode, I can't see they've, helped much.”
