What do you think the chances are

Post by wendy »

of these surviving ?

They are sweet peas that I ordered and got through the post yesterday. The company had the wrong house number and so I got them about 4 days later than some others I have ordered. The tops were very wet and slimy. They are all outside in the dog conservatory and the pelegoniums are doing well.
I have mailed the company, but planted these out anyway.

I didn't think they would. But I would give them a chance.
I am still waiting a reply from the company. Thanks Maggie.

It would have been a good idea to have taken a photo of them when they arrived and as they had the wrong address its their fault.

Take a photo of the packet as proof Wendy. Keep a copy and send the photos back to them. I used to order a lot of plants when I lived in UK. They are quite good at sending to the wrong address. Plus if nobody was in they'd leave it on the step. So if they were tender plants and it was cold they'd had it. If its a good company they usually have a guarantee on them. But as its their fault they should replace them.

I agree, they ought to replace them. I had plants delivered a month or so back & they were left outside the wrong house entirely. It was the courier's fault completely but the plant company refunded me.
