A great first visit

This was my first visit to Southwood garden centre as I'm not from the area. I love a good garden centre and this place definitely did not disappoint. So many lovely items, I had to definitely restrain my spending as I could gave gone mad. Treat myself to a brew and a cake in the cafe which was naughty but definitely nice. A lovely couple of hours. A big thank you to Elaine and Caroline too for their customer service. Lovely ladies and a real credit to the team. I WILL be back and heaven help me in festive season.

I was looking for the White Floral LED Glitter Water Spinner Lantern, and could not find any in stock anywhere until I went to Southwood Garden Centre online. They promptly shipped with a very quick delivery.

Speedy service all round - they were also on offer online so I bought 2 instead of 1.

Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing experience.

My parcel was left in an unsecured location and I did not receive it. The seller relied solely on a photograph of the package left unattended as “proof of delivery.” A photo of a parcel sitting somewhere does not demonstrate that it was delivered into my possession — only that it was left there.

PayPal closed the case based on that photo, and the seller has refused to take responsibility, directing me back to PayPal. However, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, responsibility for goods remains with the seller until they are delivered into the consumer’s possession. A parcel left in an unsecured location does not meet that standard.

I am still seeking a full refund. Unfortunately, based on how this has been handled I would not recommend this company. Absolutely disgraceful service!!
