: : 75% of what I ordered from Michigan Bulb was either dead on arrival or soon thereafter. They make it almost impossible to get your money back, just agree to send you more junk to replace the first junk and you have to pay additional shipping!
: I agree. I remember as a kid my dad let me and my sister order our own flowers for our own flower garden. We looked through Mich Bulb and ordered our stuff.
I can clearly remember going "Ew! Yuck! What's this"?
They were all a bunch of dried of icky crap.
Nasty.
Well, just to rekindle old memories I ordered from them again, and same thing. Dried up icky stuff.
Barely living on its last root. It was too much trouble to return, so my "final answer" is that I'll just never order from them again!! And PS: Once you do order from them you will get a never ending supply of sweepstakes junk mail! OMG - It's the worst flow of junk mail you'll ever receive. Comes in heaps!
How do they survive! I guess off of suckers like us who "give em a chance!"
I have been ordering from Michigan Bulb for years, and it is because of their guarentee that I continue to do so. I have never had a problem in getting replacements for the plants which die. The worst that has happened is getting a replacement certificate because the plants which had been orginally ordered could not be replaced at that time. Money wise, I have been fully compensated, and note that replacement orders do NOT include an additional S&H; charge. Yes, a good number of the plants have died, but so do other plants in my garden to which there is no replacement guarentee. I am sorry to see that S meyer's comment has stopped people from giving Michigan Bulb Company the chance to make their garden grow and keep it growing year after year.
