I had a plant come on the absolute coldest day in December (below zero) and despite my getting to the package within an hour and the cold-safe packaging, the plant was too frozen to save. The Sill cu... See more

The plant was for my granddaughter-in-law’s birthday and because of the late delivery she received the present six days late. She was thrilled with the plant and is looking forward to it flowering.

The large white orchid is beautiful. Unfortunately it was damaged during shipment. The Sill was nice about it but recommended that I cut the broken stem with no offset of price or offer to replace. A... See more

I was wonderfully surprised to see a beautiful fiddle leaf fig plant arrive in such great condition and expert packaging! The growth plant pot is also very beautiful and helps to elevate our space. I will definitely purchase another plant and recommend to everyone!

Gift message missing, but plant arrived on time and healthy

The plant arrived on time and was healthy. But it was a gift and I put a lot of time into writing a very thoughtful message. The recipient looked on the box and inside the gift and did not find who it was from or the message.
So it definitely was not the experience I was hoping for

Cool way to buy a plant

Bought a alocasia, packaging was great, only one leaf that looked like it was going dormant. Only gave 4 stars because there is some white mold / fungus on two of the peddles that I'm trying to get rid of.

Both plant and owner are happy

I recently received an Areka Palm by mail, and I couldn’t be more pleased. It arrived in excellent condition and is now thriving by my office window, adding a vibrant touch of greenery to the space. Since placing it there, I’ve noticed a significant drop in CO2 monitor levels. I’ll definitely be purchasing more of these little beauties for other rooms in the house. I highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their indoor environment with a healthy, elegant plant that requires little maintenance.

I've ordered several times from The Sill and have had no past issues with delivery nor packages. This time my plant's rootball (African Milk Tree) was completely uprooted from the pot and the bottom of the box was full of soil that was leaking from the package. Obviously things can shift during shipping but I thought it could have been packed & supported more carefully. I repotted upon arrival and am waiting to see if any long term damage. It's very top heavy as a plant so this may have been part of the issue.

Pot was delivered before plant

You can better coordinate the delivery of the actual plant and the pot. I haven’t seen the items since it was a gift, but it was embarrassing for the recipient to receive an empty pot first.
