    Thomson and Morgan parent company BGV bought out Suttons, Dobies and The Organic Gardening Catalogue late last year.
    So it looks you'll be receiving a similar standard of goods and service.

    This is what my plant plugs look like:

  • A few of those look salvageable. Not as described at all and not what you ordered. Those poor plants must have been stuck in darkness for quite a few days.  I am still waiting for my order but not holding out much hope. What a disappointment.
  • 1) Paid 28/4/21
    2) Received an email delivery update to between 7/5/21 - 11/6/21 with an added 48 hour delivery period
    3) Emailed using Suttons own webmail system for a delivery update 15/6/21 - no response as yet
    4) Phoned the customer service number on 16/6/21 - phone rings out with no response
    I conclude that possibly it got stuck in the Suez and/or was subjected to a pandemic. In any event I'll not be ordering again from the same company or any of its group. How to get a refund?
  • I am going through PayPal disputes for my refund. I ordered and paid 28/04 same as you; no commas from them after the 7th May promised despatch; emails via website ignored; the only time they responded was when I wrote an honest review on trustpilot. Ridiculous company has wasted so much of my time. Never again.
  • *commas* ?! comms I meant. Auto correct grr!

    I raised a case with Paypal and have just received a refund and "The case was closed in your favour."
    It appears that Suttons did not respond to the emails from Paypal.
