GREAT SERVICE!

The website offered what I was seeking and was easy to use. Delivery was prompt and the contents were extremely well packed. While awaiting receipt I submitted an online query and the response was both rapid and helpful. Thank you to all involved!

Beautiful Tree

Bought a prunus kursar from this company. There was a slight delay in delivery but Alan was helpful in resolving this. The tree arrived in great condition and a good size, as ordered. I'm delighted with it. Would definitely recommend his company.

Trees Online

Trees online were the only company to stock the type of crab apple I wanted. They were a good price and delivery was free. The trees delivered were a good size and in good condition. A slight hiccup with delivery was promptly addressed

There was a slight delay in delivery due to a broken delivery van. Alan sorted the problem very quickly and politely. My tree arrived 2 days later, in excellent condition and exactly the size I said I preferred. Highly recommend this company.

Simply the best

Wide range of choice, excellent advice from the 'Senior Dogsbody', a well packaged specimen delivered on time in very good condition. Definitely the first place to look in future

Great company

I just received my tree and I’m really happy with it. The tree itself is healthy and arrived quickly. Great communication with Alan.

A very many thanks for the feedback, it is something that helps us a lot unless it comes from a mischievous baby at feeding time.

Heartily recommended

Heartily recommended. We ordered a three variety "family" apple tree. The delivery company tragically made match wood out of it but Alan swiftly sent us a replacement which arrived swiftly and in perfect condition. A beautiful tree and excellent customer service - will use again!

Thanks for the great review and for pointing out the way the couriers treat our parcels. I sometimes wonder if they don't know the difference between a box that says "Live Plants This way up" and a football.

Fantastic service every time

I have bought trees from them several times and found the quality to be excellent, especially in terms of size as the boxes are over 2m tall. Delivery is not next day but then they were worth waiting for.

Good and light-hearted experience

Good and light-hearted experience. Delivery time was much longer than originally quoted but compensated by larger than ordered tree.

Thanks for the review Fran. We are sometimes at the mercy of Mother Nature with living plants and they need to be held back for lots of reasons which is why we offer free size upgrades if available. Unfortunately, we are also at the mercy of stock levels and need to order them in which is when we are at the mercy of the growers hence some time delays.

Thanks for your patience, understanding and review.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE 1 STAR REVIEWS. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

I thought I was paying £350 for a mature 1.5-2m tall Flamingo Willow with a girth (as specified on Trees Online website) of 8-10cm. I specifically required a mature tree of this size.
After several weeks wait, a tiny tree was delivered that was about 1m tall and had a girth of about 5cm.
Alan (Senior Dogsbody, as he likes to call himself) agreed to arrange collection of this tree and replacement with a tree of the correct size. Several more weeks went by and the second tree that arrived was taller but still had a girth of only 6cm. Not the mature tree I had paid for.
Getting a resolution to this has been a nightmare. Alan initially offered a partial refund but when I said I wanted a full refund he started to get very obstructive. I made the tree available for collection. He repeatedly blamed the courier company for failing to collect it and said he couldn't issue a refund until it had been collected and inspected. I gave him plenty of time to sort this out and give me a refund and informed him that I would dispute the transaction with my CC company if he failed to do so. This was the route I eventually had to take. Now he is arguing with the CC company. He says I have made things more difficult by starting a chargeback case. He has only made things more difficult for himself by providing such terrible customer service. No doubt Alan will argue with this review, as he has with all the other 1 star reviews.
I placed my order on 11th April. It is now 4th July and I have no tree and no refund from Trees Online (CC company have issued temporary refund while Alan argues with them).
Save yourself the hassle and the waste of money and buy your tree elsewhere.

I agree you had a rubbish experience with us Lindsey which is why I said we would refund you 100% without issue as soon as we have the tree back. This is to ensure customers keep the tree alive until then.

We admitted fault and got you a replacement as soon as we could and sent you a picture of the actual tree you would receive that turned out to be one size below the one you ordered and was 1.5cm below the advertised spec, according to the pictures you sent us. I suspect the growers measured it on the knobbly bits either side of where you did to justify them saying it was to size. You didn't want a partial discount and wanted a full refund, which we accepted. You have been kept informed every step of the way, been made a priority and offered further discounts as way of a meaningful apology.

As for the chargeback, we didn't argue as I explained to you. I told them we intended to fully refund as soon as we can. The banks lock the transaction and don't let us access it for a refund until they look at it, which can take several weeks to months. Your account shows it is back in but the banks can reverse that decision.

So in summary, we admitted fault immediately and apologised for the inconvenience.

Quality, specimen of a tree, great service !!

I was looking for a specific tree at a price in my budget that my local garden centres couldn't offer . 'Trees online' not only offered both requirements, they delivered ( in an undamaged package) a super healthy , undamaged , perfectly shaped specimen of a tree. I have purchased trees, from the internet in the past only to be disappointed with quality and condition , I am extremely pleased with my purchase and will definitely be using 'trees online' again in the near future. Thanks Alan

Many thanks for the review about your specimen tree. I remember when the doctors asked me to take a specimen in, they looked confused as I dragged in a 12L ornamental cherry blossom.

Nowhere better to buy a good tree

I write to Alan for advice (not for the first time). His reply was sensible, experienced and I feel I can I can trust his recommendations. All that Alan writes is drily amusing - I want to meet this man! Then my tree got upgraded to a larger size - what a treat. I didn’t have to wait long for the package to arrive and inside was a really excellent specimen of Mimosa Dealbata. Now it is down to me to keep this baby alive and healthy.
I would recommend Trees Online to anyone wanting to buy a reliably good quality tree at a competitive price.

Wow..that is quite the review Margaret and very much appreciated.

Our advice regarding your garden baby is that rough skin is normal, they will always want to branch out, sometimes throw you some shade, will put down roots and never want to leave home and might leave a log where you don't want one.

Very much appreciate the review Richard. We aim to be full of surprises instead of the alternative that some companies are. This has come about since we branched out to take root of the issue and offer unbe-leaf-able service.

A company that listens

Initially two trees had not arrived. I got in touch with a competent, friendly guy who swiftly sorted it out. These trees, as all the others, arrived in very good shape.
Trees Online to be recommended!

Thank you for the lovely review Anders.

Good to know that the trees were in good shape. We put a lot of time and effort into the trees to help them grow as individuals with things like aspirational talks telling them the sky is the limit.

Good experience

Trees Online had a tree I was after but I had a question - I received an answer incredibly quickly, then my order was seamless and delivery was quick. Reasonable price for the size of the tree and it looks healthy. Very happy with my purchase!
