      Complaint Type:
      Delivery Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I actually ordered 3 products and the estimated shipping date changed without contacting me that it had changed. When I contacted them, I got answered by an AI then to a agent who told me that all they could do was put a rush on it. I ordered a product, I haven't received my product and there hasn't been any communication regarding the delayed shipping of the product I already paid for. I called customer service and was informed that they didn't have the man power to contact those who's shipping got delayed. That's just common courtesy. When I placed the order, the products were in stock. The products I was unable to order, I ordered from their competitors a week or so after my purchase from Gurney's. Those products arrived swiftly and in perfect shape. I receive multiple advertisements from Gurney's daily in my email and they do have the software available to contact their customers if the products they have ordered will be later that previously advised. I believe that this is an unethical business practice that Gurney's has deployed successfully over the years and needs to be addressed. I would like my trees delivered healthy and quickly.

      Gurneys is the worst company I've ever ordered from. The process took a very long time! I was consistently told an item I wanted was out of stock. I finally put an order together so I would receive "Free Shipping" that was to arrive in 2 weeks. I checked tracking after receiving a notice that my order had shipped and it was awaiting delivery. After not receiving my order the following week I checked again with the same result. The next day I was told my order was "Undeliverable" and my money was refunded! They wasted my time and threw me off my planting schedule! I should be grateful after reading the other reviews! Stay away! They'll waste your time!
