Breck’s Bulbs Reviews

Two years running I've ordered Amaryllis bulbs as Christmas gifts and had them shipped to different people. I always get three separate order confirmations. But every year they either don't arrive or only one arrives while the others don't. They blame my credit card not going through, but I never get notified by them or my bank. This year when two orders didn't ship, I asked them to resend those two at the original price and with the free shipping I'd originally qualified for. They refused because apparently my order no longer met the free shipping threshold. I emailed about it but got no response. Their customer service is unhelpful and lacks any empathy. I won't use them again. Spend a little more and go with someone who actually cares about their customers.

Placed an order on September 7 with a delivery window of September 22 to 27. It never shipped. I sent an email in early October and heard nothing back. When I finally called recently, they said it would arrive sometime between October 27 and November 1. By then it'll probably be too late to plant anything. A decent company would have sent an update email or at the very least responded to my initial inquiry.

Never ordering again. I placed a hundred dollar order and waited almost a full year for it to be shipped. Even after contacting them three separate times asking for a refund, they refused. It's just wrong.

This company has some strange business practices. I ordered twice and both times they sent me free shipping codes that didn't work. I went ahead and ordered anyway, but they wouldn't refund my shipping charge and just gave me a credit instead. Then a day after ordering, they sent me a promotion for the exact same items I'd just bought. A month later I tried using the credit code they provided and it was invalid too. Right after I placed that second order, another promotion came through with free shipping. These tactics are really suspicious to me. I'm not going back. My orders from this fall still haven't even shipped.

Very disappointed with the quality. I bought a bunch of pink tulips all the same variety for a nice coordinated look, but when they bloomed in spring, about a third of them came out bright red instead. They gave me store credit instead of a refund, so I tried ordering perennial roots. Those arrived completely dried out and despite being planted and watered regularly for weeks, nothing ever sprouted. I also purchased lily bulbs that did grow but produced the most misshapen lily I've ever seen. Honestly, don't waste your money here. Their products are just not good quality.

I'm frustrated that they published my positive review about one plant but won't post my negative review about a different one. The review I wrote was legitimate and truthful, nothing inappropriate about it. It's making me question whether I can really trust this company.

I ordered bare root columbines based on their pictures and managed to get them to bloom, but the flowers looked completely different from what was shown. I tried reaching out to customer service both by phone and email but never heard back. I wouldn't buy from this company again. Gave one star just so I could post this.

Good luck trying to get a refund or a replacement. The customer service reps don't speak English well enough to understand what you're saying. They'll just make excuses and eventually disconnect the call on you.

This feels like a scam operation. I've tried multiple times to get a tracking number from them and they won't respond. I ordered on February 5 and still nothing.

Got a bulb garden as a Christmas present. It's been over 50 days and still no flowers. When I called them, they just said to put it in a sunny spot indoors and wait longer. That doesn't make sense when it's already in a window getting plenty of light. Maybe flowers will show up eventually in spring?
