Caribbeangardenseed Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a predominantly negative reputation among customers, primarily due to significant issues with order fulfillment, shipping delays, and a lack of responsive customer service. Many customers report receiving incorrect or poor-quality products, with little to no communication from the company regarding their orders. Positive aspects are scarce, with few mentions of satisfactory products; however, some customers have noted good seed quality when they did receive their orders. Overall, the feedback suggests a pressing need for the company to improve its operational efficiency and customer support to enhance customer satisfaction and trust.

I placed my order on April 13th. I spent $193 but never received my items. DON'T BUY from them!
Unless you want to give them your money for free.

I tried to order two types of seeds this spring, 2021, and I bought 100 of one type (only 71 were in the package) and the other seeds were on BACK ORDER. This means that they are buying from someone else, and they are not the actual producer of the seeds. Plus, the seeds they do have, they short you on the amount of product they sell you. I expected much more than this, and don't see how a company like this can stay in business. It took over 3 weeks to get the delivery too. If I could give them ZERO stars, I would. I don't recommend them, and the product did not look like what was on-line at all either.

Awful
May 11, 2021

I ordered 3 pimento pepper plants and almost 3 months and 5 emails to them I still dont have them. Contacted my credit card company and was told that they responded that they shipped items yet provided no shipping invoice or tracking number. Please save yourself the hassle. If I could give them no stars I would.

I ordered Gliyz flower seeds. Not one germinated. They will not guaranty their seeds. I plant over a thousand seeds. I'm experienced Gardner. They said they test their seeds before sending them out. I have never experienced such disrespectful customer service agent. I have called now several times and not they blocked my calls. They are nothing but crooks!

Order not received. Yet I paid extra to get them sooner.
Not happy with this company.
I have inquired about this and have yet to hear back.
I am beginning to wonder if they are a legitimate business.

I had ordered elephant yam and paid for priority shipping ($18.91 full price), what I got was a rotten piece. Seller does not even reply when you write back. Total waste of money!

They advertise fast shipping on the website. I ordered fresh items and was charged $7.80 for shipping which took a month to arrive and it was spoiled.

Vegetable seeds
September 18, 2020

We ordered 10 summer squash seeds for $2.94 and the shippiing was more than the cost of the seeds. We did receive 12 seeds. We are experienced gardeners. Only TWO of the TWELVE seeds even sprouted. There is no email or phone number on the website to contact them. We would NOT order from them again.

Like many other customers, I got scammed by this company. Paid for my seeds and shipping fee and I never received my item. I placed my order July 5th, and still got nothing. I tried several attempts in reaching out but no response on their end. STAY AWAY!

Order placing is very simple and painless. For the next 10 days absolute silence from the company. Then after repeated emails asking for the status of the order, they gave a USPS tracking number. It is almost a week since I was given the tracking number. The item was yet to be given to the USPS. Pathetic excuse of a company to exist.

I ordered 110 allium bulbs and they are all dead, not to mention teeny tiny. They should not have even shipped them to me. I tried calling twice, but nobody answers. I tried to create a ticket on their website, but it lags out and freezes. I have a couple emails in to them. At this point I am optimistic and hope they respond. I will update my review if they do - hopefully with good news. I also ordered 100 tulip bulbs and was given a note that they will ship them this fall, which is reasonable. The two seed packets I got look good. Shipping was reasonably quick.

Order was for Melon Petit Gris. The seeds are way too big to be Petit Gris. Buyer beware they are con artist's.

On April 10 I ordered Japanese Sweet Potato Slips. A month later I got an email hoping i enjoyed my order and would I like to reorder even though I hadn't received my order. I e-mailed the company 5 times asking where my order was and NEVER received a response. I started a PayPal inquiry and they contacted the company and never heard back. On June 1 I upgraded my PayPay concern. On June 13 th I heard that the order was unit's way. I wrote to cancel the order since I had already ordered elsewhere. The order arrived on June 17th even though I wanted to cancel. I'm going to see if I can still get a refund but I am not hopeful. Over 2 months to receive an order that I could never verify.

I ordered over $70 worth of seeds and bulbs in early June. (CGS9061) After repeated follow up emails on their website and phone messages, I received a USPS PreShipment tracking #. However this was misleading and there has been no status update for the past 7 days.
Looks like this is either a scam business or a very poorly managed business. Should have suspected as the website does not provide any physical address or business location. Will initiate with my CC company to get a refund.

Update: since the earlier post, have received most of my order yesterday via USPS. Looks like they took over a week after shipping label notification, to ship it out, or probably USPS delayed pickup.
Few bulbs not included have been noted as not available currently and to be shipped out by Fall 2020.
Packing and Quality of received seeds and bulbs look good. Will update after a few weeks on the success rate. The single lavender plant was packed safely and received in good condition.
Overall, satisfied with service but wish their communications would be better and accurate. Updated ratings to 4 star.

I ordered sweet potatoes at the end of April. I got an order confirmation and I waited 3 weeks and heard nothing so I sent an email asking when it would arrive, etc. I again heard nothing and waited 3 more weeks and sent another email asking for money back... nothing. I am not convinced this is not a complete scam site at this point. Looks like based on reviews there are a few of us that had a similar experience.
