- c***k (493)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI have now bought several species of plants from this seller (end-of-season discounts, nearby location). Seller processes orders and ships quickly, protecting the items sufficiently. Since I bought two items in this one transaction, seller sensibly boxed them together, though I was slightly annoyed that I was charged full shipping for each--my mistake for not inquiring about combined shipping earlier--but the price break made up for this.
- y***l (527)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem received in good condition & in a box, as described, good communication. Had issue with P.O. being slow, no fault of the seller. Postal service needs to 'do' the job they are hired & paid for, constant issue with post office. Thank you for the extra plant.SET OF 2 SILVER MAPLE TREE LIVE STARTER PLANT 12 TO 18 INCH (#326049264067)
