    Very very devastating experience from nurserylive

    I am from delhi and I ordered plants worth rupees 4000. To my surpise even after being so reputed online nursery they didn't send me all the plants. But they have shown shipped in the tracking status. The plants which I received were in severly bad condition. One died. They didn't send me 3 kalanchoe and 1 orchid plant. They did not fully refund the order. The orchid was worth rupees 759 but they refunded only 711. The kalanchoe was worth rupees 859 but they did not refund even after they did not deliver it. The aprajita plant was 259 rupees but it was received dead and they did not refund or replace it. I wrote several mails regarding the issue and they said they would resolve within 24 hours but it has been several days to week and they didn't do anything. Their system is so bad can't tell. They don't even offer a phone number for the issue. I messaged them on whatsapp and the received message said that please wait you are in a waiting list and it was 4 days ago but still didn't respond me. My money has totally gone to waste.
