Update to 4/11 review Wanted to provide an update to my initial review 3 weeks ago. I am giving the overall rating a 2 now that my experience with GSC is just about over. The good news is the first part of my order arrived yesterday with the other part due to be delivered tomorrow. So it took 4 weeks on the nose for my order to be delivered. If you have anything that is time-sensitive, I suggest looking elsewhere until GSC truly is back to operating normally. I do feel badly for the employees who are trying to dig themselves out of a mess. With an issue that appears to have surfaced in February, though, it is perplexing that issues still remain nearly 3 months later. I received the e-mail from GSC's Chief Operating Officer(?) last week that was likely sent to hundreds of customers. I appreciate the gesture - better late than never - but the intentional decision not to comment at all about what GSC has/is/would be doing to get this resolved was disappointing. We don't need all the details, but some would certainly have been appropriate to share. Best of luck to everyone with their orders.

What's going on? What's going on? I placed my order more than 2 weeks ago, and all the website says is that it's "in process." Tried to send an email query it find out when I might receive my order, and it refused to accept my email (called me a spam bot. Thanks). Tried to call, but I refuse to sit on hold for the predicted 25 minutes. Ugh. By the time my order arrives (if ever) it'll be so late in the season I shouldn't have even bothered. Do these folks hire any extra staff in springtime??? Have not had this issue with them before - What's going on??

poor customer service just spent 40 min on hold to no avail. finally gave up. I imagine two things - understaffed service dept and poor phone system (should have a call back feature). problem is, I don't know where else to obtain the parts I need. enviable business model...

I have been a good customer of Gardener's Supply Company for years BUT will NEVER order from them again! I have been a good customer of Gardener's Supply Company for years. Over the past 2 years I have noticed very long wait times (44 minutes) to speak with customer service. I was contacting them to inquire on an order of Transplant Mix I placed over a month ago. They could not explain the delay. I explained that if they could not expedite the order, I would need to cancel as my seedlings needed to be transplanted ASAP. A manager, Matt came on to say he would contact their distribution division and call me back. I said again, if cant be shipped ASAP with quick shipping, I would need to cancel. No phone call. Instead, they charged my PayPal account but still NO Tracking number available. I wrote to cancel the order. They responded they were unable to cancel, still no tracking number tho but I was welcome to return the order.....IF i ever receive it!!! VERY disappointed with this company and will NEVER order with them again.

Service Don't update shipping online, phone hold always 30 minutes or more, limited time to call. Trying to shop local but Gardner's Supply doesn't seem to care. Nice bit about employee=owned but totally useless.
