Ordered 6 plug plants back in October or thereabouts. Order arrived in February in good condition. Problem was that none of the chillies were the ones I ordered.there were only 4 varieties instead... See more

Ordered 3 plug plants this year, Carolina reaper, butch T and chocolate primo. None have been correct, Carolina reaper has produced tiny orange peppers no bigger than a garden pea, butch T has pro... See more
Great selection of chillies supplied in good condition. We opt for the less hot versions generally, they have a better balance of heat vs flavour. The number of adverse reviews are completely at odds... See more

Ordered plugs on three ocasions this…
Ordered plugs on three ocasions this month . Far better than my own from seed. Also such an informative website.Real value for money.
Great quality chilli plants
In my own expierience World of chillies are a wonderful company to purchase from.
I have placed orders with them for a fair few years, and I have always recieved great quality chilli and tomato plants.
I'm not sure why they recieve such bad reviews, but I will continue to shop with them.
Poor customer service
Order came, half of the order no idea what they they was, 3 emails in 6days with no reply. Wouldn't re omens to know body!!
Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service. Plants arrived dead, took 3 emails to get a response, was told they’re be replaced. Replacements never arrived, all subsequent emails have been ignored
World of Chillies 👍🏻
I’ve bought a few orders from World of Chillies and I think they are absolutely fantastic and very informative.
If I've ever had any issues with any plugs or plants a quick email to Sarah and all is sorted very quickly.
Can’t recommend enough 🙂
Been ordering with no problem for…
Been ordering with no problem for years. Suddenly this year the problems started with ordering. I was charged 3 x my order. Sarah did arrange refunds for the 2 extras payments. Been waiting for delivery of my pre order plugs for over 2 months. Initially responded to an email asking when I would get my delivery. Said had been dispatched a few weeks previously but would sent another lot. Haven't received anything and no response to recent emails.
Did another order and received very quickly. Plants are very healthy.
10yrs of custom but never again
After 10 years of loyal custom with no problems i received £40 of frost dammaged plants.
After initial contact i received a message all in caps saying replacments would be dispatched asap.
That was 4 weeks ago and I've had zero response from replying to the email (twice) the web form and ig.
All the plants are now on the compost heap - i am a v expirienced profesional gardener with over 40 yrs expirience.
This is such a shame as this has always been my go to company and highly recomended to friends.
Everything was great!
After making the purchase, I found the Trustpilot reviews, which made me nervous.
My order, however, arrived without any problems.
I was satisfied with the packaging and the ease of transferring the plants to the plant pots.
I will gladly buy from you again if I need any plant that you have.
Order placed but nothing received yet
Order placed but nothing received yet. Have asked for a refund.
Seller agreed to refund and items had NOT been despatched.
Changing to 3 stars (neutral).
Have had mixed luck
Have had mixed luck. The plants have been great but the customer service is lacking. Several times orders have either not been fulfilled or very late. Still waiting on an order and no response to 4 emails regarding this. Very disappointing.
BRILLIANT COMPANY
I really don't understand why all the negative reports.
All my plants have grown well and I have tomatoes and chillies beautifully growing and "producing far too much"
Look to how you are growing them as they need specific light and warmth especially if you are growing any in the early part of the year.
They give excellent info on cultivation of each species.
Ordered some plugs 2 months ago
Ordered some plugs 2 months ago - Took my money and never delivered them, i've had no response to my emails and no contact at all.
avoid this company.
2 plants delivered that are just fine…
2 plants delivered that are just fine and appear to be what was ordered. The other 2 plants are definitely NOT Pimento de Patron as ordered but appear to be Scotch Bonnets...... no good at all as grilled appetisers! I have emailed with my concerns but have not had the curtesy of a reply. This is the last time I spend ££ with this company.
Look elsewhere
Like chillies, her ability to deliver seems to be seasonal. I resonate with recent poor reviews.
When plants arrived one was damaged. Also leaf droop. She has a pledge to replace. So far no response.
Wish I'd read these reviews before ordering. Seems to have some internal issues affecting her ability to deliver atm. very poor comms.
Incorrect delivery and no response
We ordered 2 sets of lucky dip chilli plants (×3) for Fathers day. We received only 1 set (on time) but the invoice for both sets. I have emailed them via their website twice asking for the second set that was never sent without any reply. I would definitely not advise to order through their website.
Stay clear if you don’t want to be disappointed
Still no response. It seems that they provide a good service sometimes, but other times there is no response when they fail to even send out the product. Caution to the 5-star reviewers: with time you may be caught out like the other 1-star reviewers. And I’m not even sure if I can believe reviews saying “I got in touch with them and it was resolved”, because in my experience there is no response to any email or website-based complaint.
I’ve ordered seeds and plugs with them…
I’ve ordered seeds and plugs with them before and was really pleased. However, I placed an order with them at the back end of May and I have received nothing. I’ve e-mailed using the online form 3 times now and no reply. Despite using them before I feel as though I have been scammed. I understand that they might not be able to fulfil orders but they should at least communicate with customers and provide appropriate refunds! I noticed on the contact us page that it says “call us on” and the telephone number had been removed. Terrible customer service.
Big disappointment after previously good products and service
Previously good products and service. This time one of two preordered deliveries (from November) worth over £40 just didn't arrive. No replies to emails (info@ address and via site). Very disappointed.
Best Online Plant Purchase So Far and I've Done a Few!
Not sure what is up with the reviews on here. Placed an order and received it within 48hrs. Everything was even better than I expected it to be. Plants were a good size and all in very good condition, probably the best I have received from a mail order purchase. Lots of instructions on what to do with them and I also bought the Ranchero Kit which had everything you need to get started, well worth the price.
Super fast delivery, very healthy plant
Super happy with the chocolate habanero I recieved. I ordered it on Sunday and it was shipped the next day. I can't believe I didn't out about worldofchillies eariler in the season. The plant was much bigger than plants recieved from other places for the same price. I repotted it on arrival and it has grown like crazy in just a week. I even recieved a scotch bonnet plug plant for free. I've already made another order from them, super happy I found this website.
