1 starI placed 3 different orders with this company. 2 orders for bulbs, 1 for plant materials. Of the 2 bulb orders, both arrived with dried or shriveled bulbs. I planted them anyway. Each of the bulb orders contained 3 bulbs. One order was for an Asiatic hybrid bulb variety, none of those ever came up. The second 3 bulb order was for Casablanca lily bulbs. I was able to get 2 of the bulbs to grow but not the 3rd. I ordered Astrantia root materials in the number of 3 pieces as well,, none ever emerged. I contacted the company well after the period of time that I should have been seeing emergence and growth. The person who replied, told me that I needed to allow them time to grow. I told this person that I had owned greenhouses previously and had given them a long window to emerge before contacting the business. I asked if they were using culled materials from other businesses and selling them as quality materials and he said that they were not. He said that they could only offer replacements if the length of time for them to grow had passed. I told him I wanted no replacements, but would not be placing any future oders with them. This company should not be allowed to advertise as a business offering quality products, because that is not the case IMO and should be considered false advertising. This "company" needs to be investigated, as it is defrauding its customers IMO. I owned a greenhouse business previously and reputation is everything.

Hello,Thank you for reaching out to us and I'm sorry to hear you did not have a satisfactory experience with our company. We do state in our Grow Guarantee on our website and also on the back of all packing slips included in every shipment that if there are any concerns with the condition of the items, our company needs to be notified and emailed images within 5 business days of receiving. Since we do ship out live, viable plant material, after the 5 days, any damage could have been caused from incorrect storing or other damage that could have occurred after the items arrived. If the items are still deemed in good enough condition to plant, we do then ask that you allow proper time to grow, most items being 6-8 weeks since they are sold as roots/bulbs and need time to become established. If they are planted and fail to grow, the failure may have been caused by environmental factors or incorrect planting techniques, both out of our control which is why we do not offer refunds. We also do not offer replacements. If an item failed once, it may not be suitable for the particular climate it is being grown in. Our Grow Guarantee does state we offer merchandise or store credits only for items that failed to grow. This way our customers can choose to try the same item again or something that may be more suited to the planting environment. I do apologize you are unhappy with the policies but we do have them clearly stated at any time during the ordering process and also after the items arrive. For future reference, if you do have any concerns with the items condition upon arrival, we ask you send the images right away as our policy states and before they are planted. Once they are planted, we do not have the proof they arrived in poor condition and therefore treat the items as failure to grow which we only issue merchandise credits for. We ask you familiarize yourself with our Grow Guarantee prior to your next purchase so our team can better assist you during the proper timeline we require.Review fromGary D

4 starsI have placed many orders through Tulip World. Some bare root plants arrive in good condition. Some arrive rotten. Some of the plants grow beautifully, others don't grow at all. They do stand by their 100% grow guarantee, and I have received store credit or refunds for the items that did not grow. I have also received replacement bare root plants for those that arrived rotten.

4 starsI have bought products from Tulip World for 8 to 10 years, making usually several purchases a year. Its a good place for me since I enjoy growing plants from bulbs and from bare roots and Tulip World always has a good selection of both. You cannot grow plants from bare roots without having a few disappointments along the way, but many of those are my fault and I always return to buy more from Tulip World. Service has always been good, wit hfast shipping and good qulaity packaging. A couple of times I have contacted Customer Service with an issue and have found them to be quite fair in assessing the problem at hand. Very good place to buy bare roots and bulbs.Nobofy gets a 5 from me, so 4.5.

5 starsI have ordered several times from Tulip World. High quality bulbs were shipped to my door in time to plant before the ground freezes. Passerby frequently comment on the beauty of the 100 sq. ft. heart shaped bed. Glory to God! I have something blooming every part of early, mid, late spring & summer by adding more varieties of each species every year. (For late summer and fall color, I scatter annual & wildflower seeds to hide the fading bulb leaves.) Crocus, daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, tulips, camassia, alliums, and lilies make the sequential blooming display. I use the small bulbs of scilla, chionodoxa, muscari, oxalis and Dutch iris, to fill the edge with interest. Thinking of using bulbs on all my borders. Great company! Their value packs are wonderful, and their sales are fantastic! You can't go wrong!

5 starsI've bought several times from this company group and overall I think they offer good value. Yes the color of bulbs that come up may not always be true to description, maybe 50/50, but there are some good deals, (I can always dig up and move them, garden is always changing!) and when I've bought stuff and it failed to grow/did not look good to begin with, the company has stood by their product guarantee and reimbursed those items. I'll be ordering from them again I'm certain. Also I like the fast shipping I've experienced being in the same state.

We do work very closely with our suppliers and if any item is ever mislabeled or mispackaged by mistake, we would be happy to find a solution for you! Per our Grow Guarantee, send us images of those items at which time we will forward them to our supplier to make sure these mistakes are corrected for future orders. It is uncommon but human error can happen on rare occasions. We will always be more than happy to help find a solution if there is ever a concern with any of our products.

5 starsAll of my bulbs and rhizomes are thriving. Enough time has passed that I am now dividing them and sharing my garden with friends and family. My Tulip World flower beds receive many compliments from neighbors passing by, and the deer absolutely love the hosta 'buffet' I have planted for them.
