I personally think he/they need to be more clearer on this...

 

[Aqua Tom]

Ask for your maoney back. They say next day but dont actualy mean it.

 

[bae1994]

yeah but there cheap still so still want them

 

[CletePurcel]

Ask for your maoney back. They say next day but dont actualy mean it.

I think they mean that when they get the plants ready they ship them and you get them the next day. With 1st class recorded there is no guarantee of anything and you could be waiting several days with the plants dying in the post. Maybe they should make this more prominent when you order.

I used them a while ago and the plants were all pretty good when they arrived.

I ordered my plants on the 21st of this month - and they arrived today (9 days) Yesterday they were posted out on next day through APC courier. If you think about it 9 days is only like waiting for a parcel from ebay.

 

[bae1994]

went out today didnt wait in (as they said it would arrive tomorrow and got home missed parcel under my name so its being redelivered tomorrow, i hope theyre ok grrr

I'm surprised they don't have these stocked they've really common aquatic plants. Unless they just run this in his back garden or something...

I'm never happy shelling out for Tropica plants but it really is next day delivery from TGM and they always have had the stock in to post the same day.
