Complaint Review: Gardner's Choice

Look's like there is a long line of the Gardner's Choice Customers who were ripped off and scammed

I sent in an order for 6 Empress Paulownia trees- Mar. 1, 2002.Check # 1315 for $22.47 cashed by Gardner's Choice- Apr.15,2002. Telephoned- 1-616-621-2481 May 8,2002 and was told by a customer service rep that my trees would be shipped within two weeks.

Tried to call them again during the last two weeks and can't get nothing but a busy signal. Decided to e-mail them this A.M. and got your rip-off site.

I've been ordering by mail and telephone over the last 25 years and have never been scammed or cheated- I guess I should consider myself lucky .

It's a shame that these businesses get away with their scams; consider the harm they do to legitimate mail order businesses. I ordered out of Parade Magazine suplement to the St.Petersburg Times, FL.

I will be reluctant to order again. I hope your organization thrives to keep identifing these Sorry business who prey on consumers thru deceptive advertizing and fraud. I plan to notify the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement (FDLE) concerning this matter.
