Good service from Dobies
Good service from Dobies, as usual, but plants took a week to be delivered and were, therefore, dried out and crushed. Not sure they will survive. Why are so many carriers so unprofessional? Royal Mail is the only wholly reliable courier in these parts.

Very small plants
The plants I received were like small plug plants that had been just put in a bigger pot

Should have been dispatched 5 days ago. Still not arrived. Very disappointing.

Packaging is always a problem with Dobie and I have previously received damaged plants. This time, however, the plants were in decent condition but the packaging was smashed.

Great Value, caring company
Despite a particularly difficult delivery from their courier (England game and broken down truck) the plants arrived in good condition. A little damage to one plant but not significant.
Dobies were responsive to the issues and I’d recommend using them over others who are not.

Closed my account
I am so fed up with misleading delivery dates and quality of plants being sent out . Packaging not sufficient to cope with delays in postage services . I have closed my account.

Not the best plants that I've received one plant had come out of the plastic container and very dry planted into pots I think it might survive

The items I ordered have been delayed twice and now its not appropriate to receive them so late hence one star. Would have been better to show items out of stock on website. Refund requested.
