Orders are processed and shipped to the address provided at checkout to ensure timely delivery, which is also why there’s a limited window for making changes. We understand that receiving a product at the wrong address is time-consuming, and our support team is happy to help resolve any delivery issues if you reach out by phone, chat, or email.

There’s a reason people think Balsam Hill when they think faux trees. It looks great! Very life-like, which made me and my wife very happy, as we wrestled with our first Christmas without a live tree.
Our tree was delivered within 4 days of ordering, during the busy holiday shipping season.

The photo of the garland is not what I received. False advertising!! Plus I was charged a fee to return the garlands that do not look like the one in the photo online!!
Very disappointed with the fullness of the garland as I have ordered trees and wreaths numerous times from BH! I should not have been charged $40 to return the three garlands that I ordered!!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the garlands you received did not meet your expectations and that the return process caused additional frustration. Our garlands are shipped compressed to protect them during transit, and some reshaping or fluffing is often needed upon unpacking to achieve the fullness shown online. We understand how disappointing it can be when a product doesn’t match the images, especially for a valued customer like yourself who has purchased from us multiple times. Our Customer Service team is always happy to help with any concerns, including guidance on proper fluffing or returns.

Needles are not realistic
For the amount we paid for a christmas tree I would expect the needles to be realistic.

Hi Miskha, thanks for sharing your feedback. We crafted our foliage using real branches as a model to create a lifelike look, though the texture can feel different from real needles. Fanning and shaping the branches can help achieve the full appearance you’re expecting. We also have step-by-step guides and videos on our website to make this easier.
Very eager to make things right for you.
Acknowledged my concerns(unhappy with the merchandise). Quick response(offered a full refund without hesitation). Important to them my experience was a good one. I will not hesitate to place an order in the future. Thank you, Lynn

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Angela. We’re glad you received your Frosted Fraser Fir Garland, and we’re sorry to hear about any issues with the lights or fullness. Please note that our garlands are compressed for shipping to ensure safe delivery, which can affect initial appearance and light distribution. With a little fluffing, the garland should regain its intended fullness. If any lights or sections are not functioning as expected, our Customer Service team is happy to assist with troubleshooting or a replacement.

Hi Lynne, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the product. During peak season, our support lines can experience high call volumes, which can result in longer wait times, and we appreciate your patience. Refunds are processed within a few business days once the return is in transit back to us, and our team is happy to confirm status or assist further if needed.

Purchased the 7.5 ft BH Full Balsam Fir tree with LED clear lights a the beginning of December. It is beautiful and looks very realistic. You would have to touch the branches to know that it is not a real tree. Easy to assemble and the fact that it is pre-lite was a huge time saver.
