Quick delivery and great packaging so my plant wasn’t damaged in transit. Could have done with a guide for how to care for my plant as I’d never had a carnivorous plant before.

Each time I have ordered
Each time I have ordered, things are dispatched very quickly.
Also, email queries are replied to quickly and efficiently too, which I find very helpful.
Well done Tom!

Disappointed.
I have been growing carnivorous plants for several years and I am looking to expand my collection. Thought I would give this supplier a try so I just ordered three bog-standard plants just to see what this supplier is like.
Delivery was very speedy, the packaging of the plants was ok but the quality of the plants was very poor. I would certainly not sell low grade plants to any customer of mine. They were very small, scrawny, slightly damaged, and looking very sorry for themselves. Not impressed at all. Very disappointed as I had high expectations of this supplier.

Unprompted review
Reply from Tom’s Carnivores
Hi Bill. Very sorry to hear this - as I hope is clear from my other reviews, my plants are normally delivered in immaculate condition, so I can only assume yours must've had an unusually tough time in the post. If you'd have contacted me, I would've been more than happy to offer a refund or replacements.

The Venus flytrap that I purchased arrived very quickly but most importantly it was excellently packaged and arrived totally undamaged.
After a day or two getting over it's journey it perked up and is a beautiful healthy specimen, the information pack that's available online is very useful too.
When I'm ready to purchase some more plants I will not be looking elsewhere I shall be going straight back to Tom's Carnivores.

Excellent Customer Service
Tom was fantastic and really helpful. There was an issue with delivery of a valentine's gift that was totally beyond his control but went absolutely above and beyond to make sure I would have something ready on the day. Would 100% recommend!!
