I’ve purchased from Breck’s Bulbs…

I’ve purchased from Breck’s Bulbs several times over the years. I’ve had okay success with the bulbs, some grew, some didn’t, but I’m really annoyed with my most recent experience.

I placed an order in August for fall shipping. I totally understand that time frames may shift, etc, but one of my partial orders said label created well over a month ago. I finally reached out, twice, via email. No response, but suddenly the order began moving in the system. The bulbs arrived, soft and squishy. When I again emailed to ask what took them so long and to question if the bulbs were good, I finally received a response, 2 days later, saying they were shipped from holland, out of their control, blah blah blah, BUT the bulbs are probably fine.

My main gripe is the total lack of communication. Not a word until five days after the initial email inquiries, when they could see the bulbs had been delivered. All I wanted was for someone to say they were on the way.

I think I’m done ordering from Breck’s. A little courtesy and customer service can go a long way.

The Dahlia Lovers catalog states in at least 5 places that shipping is free for orders over $50 through 11-6. None of these informational bubbles specifies that a code is needed. Nonetheless, I was charged 16.98 on my order.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that your order did not ship as quickly as you expected. Looking into your order, we see it was placed on 10/20, shipped on 10/29, and delivered on 10/31.

Once an order is placed, there is a 3–5 business day internal processing period. Items are also inspected before packaging, and if they do not pass inspection, additional time may be needed before shipment. We understand the importance of timely delivery and appreciate your patience and understanding.

I was promised and ordered 40 bulbs

I was promised and ordered 40 bulbs. I received 28 trying to speak with someone in a customer relations capacity was ridiculous. they said it was my confusion and that I ordered seven times two which would be 14. why would I spend $70 on 14 bulbs? that's crazy and I was told by the second representative that I escalated to that I was confused again, I don't like the bait and switch and I'm never going to buy again. I try to cancel the order when it took over 3 weeks to get to me and then when it was in route it went from Ohio to Pennsylvania to Indiana back to Ohio and then finally to my residence. so I'm not even sure the quality. I can ask for a full refund after being refused a cancellation. I'm not happy with this experience.

Easy ordering but according to the accounts page my order still hasn't been sent and it has been 2 weeks since I placed the order. I have been a long time customer of Breck's and have been very satisfied with the products and timely manner in which I have gotten my order. My last 2 orders have been very late in getting sent. This needs to be improved.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a longtime Breck’s customer. We sincerely apologize for the delays with your last two orders. Because we work with live plants, occasional issues with rootstock availability can affect shipping schedules. For this reason, we provide estimated shipping windows rather than exact ship dates. Additionally, some items ship directly from Holland, and the international shipping process can take approximately 3–4 weeks. We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience and continued support. Your feedback regarding shipping delays is important to us, and we will share it with our team for review.

Reply from Breck's

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern about the condition of your Immortality White Iris rhizomes. Please keep in mind that this time of year, items are shipped dormant. As long as the rhizome is not hollow, rotten, or mushy, it should still be viable and should be planted. It will remain dormant while storing energy from the soil throughout the fall and winter months, and you should see new growth in the spring.

We also offer our No Risk Guarantee. If you do not see new growth come spring, please reach back out, and we will be glad to assist you with a positive resolution.

A new Breck’s Babe, but I’m a convert!

A couple of weeks ago, I put in my first order from Breck’s. I was so impressed with the price point, packaging and quality of bulbs. After planting today, I was so jazzed about all those healthy bulbs, I had to order more!!
