Gardening Express selling dead plants

I have had the misfortune to receive five dead plants from Gardening Express. The packaging was battered and bashed. The contents were full of moss and dead thatch. I took pics of everything and sent off with a request for full refund. No response whatsoever. Then they sent a request (generic) to say what I thought of my order!
Needless to say they didnt fare well at all. The director (of what I wonder) is a CHRIS BONNETT and is unreachable and untouchable. He has trousered my hard earned cash and supplied me with dead plants.
DONT buy anything off this company unless you do want dead, water logged and moss ridden plants.

I paid through PayPal. It was a relatively small amount but it’s the principal that they sold me dead plants and won’t own it and own up!0
