If so, what was your experience, good/bad, w/them please?
I placed an order back in mid-March for a couple reblooming lilacs. Upon confirmation of my order, it said the expected delivery date was for around the 1st part of May. When I checked on the status earlier this month, it then said expected delivery date was for around the 1st part of June. Just checked again now & it's been bumped even farther to around mid to late June. I'm getting disgusted w/their repeated changes in the delivery date & am serious thinking of calling them & just cancelling the order....
Is it unusual for a business like that to keep changing shipping & delivery dates?
Thanks! :)

I have not ordered from them in years as we now have a local nursery with great prices and guarantees.

After reading the feedback reviews, I decided to cancel my order so just got off the phone w/them. Contacted my bank 1st tho, to make sure SpringHill doesn't try anything shady w/my card info. ;)

You are in my zone, and I dont think I would have planted them prior to Mother's Day....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|17:14:10|05/20/2009|

& then reading all those negative comments, I decided it wasn't worth risking so opted to cancel. Couldn't believe they had so many more negative comments than positive in just the past year! Sheesh!
I knew places that like ship based on a person's zone & I can understand that. What they need to do in that case is to make sure they get their shipping schedules to coincide w/the zones right off the bat then so there isn't so many changes/delays. What clinched it for me is reading comments of how people were charged so many months before items were shipped & then too, receiving dead/dying plants or plants that never grew. Granted, some customers just don't have a green thumb but to receive plants that were already DOA or dying when received just didn't seem worth the risk to me, kwim? ;)
