We ordered some dried flowers which were lovely. The only area for improvement was with delivery and packaging. The order was placed on a Wednesday evening, but not dispatched until the following Monday. The website previously said any orders placed before 9am Mon - Thu would be dispatched within 24 hours, but this has since been changed. The packaging was also slightly excessive for dried flowers, in that the box was at least double the size it needed to be, and then within this box was another box. The flowers were lovely though ☺️

Good service, fast delivery, nicely packed. Healthy, good size plant. Only negative - a litte expensive especially taking postage into account.

Plants arrived very quickly (within 24 hours of dispatch) however the pots had been damaged in trainait. After a small delay in contacting replacements where issued. Very happy with the plants ordered, all in tip top conditioned.

Very pleased with my snake plant It was delivered on time is healthy and is exactly what I purchased
Helpful Report
Convenient delivery options and good range of products. However the plant I was given had significantly fewer fenestrations than the one advertised on the website. As opposed to 3 large leaves I received a 4 leaf plant with 2 having good fenestrations and the other 2 being smaller.
Helpful Report
My Christmas tree was well priced and a very generous size (height and width). It produced quite a lot of debris when we first opened it (hence four stars not five) but has maintained its looks for a week now with very little needle drop.

The order and delivery processes were excellent, on time and a very polite, delivery man. The plants were very green, healthy, and look very happy in their new home! I would definitely recommend The Stem for plant quality, customer service, and great delivery times. Thank you!

Very happy with the service, delivery man very charming,shape of the Xmas tree beautiful. Just would have loved if it was nearer 7ft than just above 6ft, but except that all perfect. Happy Xmas to everyone.
Helpful Report
The most beautiful tree I've had. Will definitely use Stem in the future. The only reason it's a four star and not five is that delivery was slightly later than the alloted time given. But overall a really fantastic service.
Helpful Report
The 3 items I ordered all arrived carefully wrapped and healthy. I will order again from Stem, however I have one observation. The watering instruction are not clear at all. It would be lovely to have a small printed note written specifically for each plant.

Ordered a Christmas tree, when it eventually arrived it is lovely. But the 13 hour wait with little contact does need improvement. James did all he could when became aware of the situation, its the fault of the delivery company used here.

I've been getting plants from the stem for a while and they've always been really healthy, high quality plants that are reasonably priced. I decided to buy my Christmas tree from them this year and it is honestly the most beautiful tree I could ask for. Perfect shape, height what i ordered etc. Deducting a star as I was supposed to receive a one hour delivery slot on the day but I didn't so had to wait in all day for it to be delivered at the end of the 12 hour delivery period (10pm).

Thanks for sharing Jessica, looks gorgeous! Really sorry about the 1 hour delivery slot. We have fed back to our delivery partners :) Best wishes, Lana
I E specked the tree to be taller as I ordered a 6ft when it came it was not much over 5ft and had a label on it stating 5-6 foot. But it was bushy like the advert.
Helpful Report
Great service however it wasn’t in a box and was a present, so it was obvious what it was when it arrived and therefore spoilt the surprise

Plants received as said. I love my Areca palm - it is great looking.

Thanks for the feedback Susan, glad you are happy! Best Wishes, Lana
great service good plants. pots were too small for the plants. I'm moving both plants to a larger pot so they can grow to a better size.

The plants I bought were delivered on time smoothly. The service was good and kept me updated. The plants are lovely and a perfect addition to the surroundings of our home. I would highly recommend The Stem and their website which is full of information about caring for my plants.
