Disappointing - dont gaslight me

So, I have ordered and received a Xmas tree for several years from BOMA and the service has always been exemplary. This year it wasn't. I called to get an ETA - thanks, within thirty minutes. I was at home the whole time, and then I got a call from BOMA saying 'the driver had tried the bell and to get in touch' and no answer, and then left the tree on our doorstep. This was clearly BS. I was at home, and the bell never rang. If it HAD rung, I would have asked him to bring the tree to our basement door, as in previous years. I dont mind that folks are busy, but dont gaslight me and tell me you were 'trying to get in touch' when you didnt - at all.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and for your many years of previous custom with Boma — we genuinely value that loyalty and do not take it lightly.

We are truly sorry that this delivery did not meet the standard you had come to expect from us. During an exceptionally high-pressure delivery window that day, our driver mistakenly rang the wrong bell in your building and, believing he had no response, left the tree safely at your doorstep. This has been addressed directly with him to ensure greater care in future.

We fully accept how frustrating this must have felt, especially given your past experiences with our service, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and the distress this caused. It is never our intention to misrepresent events, and we are sorry that this situation left you feeling otherwise.

We remain deeply grateful for your previous support over the years and hope that, in time, we may have the opportunity to restore your trust.

Warm regards,
The Boma Team

In love with my pot-grown Nordmann Fir

I love my gorgeous pot-grown Nordmann Fir, is absolutely perfect.

I've left a review on Goog!e with pictures, so, so, so worth it!

Important tips: Needs re-potting, get a bag of soil, a pot and a saucer, and do it before decorating.

Great range of beautiful plants.

Good on-line service which allows me to select some plants from Boma's huge range and then collect them the following day. Staff generally helpful and informed. Always worth checking contents of an on-line order so as to ensure the best of what's there has been chosen or, as my PA did yesterday making a substitution! The plants were in first class condition although often needing a good watering when first bought. I'd like to have sent a pic of the planting, but can't see any way to do it. An email from Boma prompted the review - words my own!

Great local garden centre

This my local garden centre, and it has always been a pleasure to visit; great environment, plants and service!

Ordering online recently was equally smooth.
