The item itself is good quality, I'm pleased with it however I think it is overpriced. The instructions (2 sets) that come with the item as I had x2 for 2 trees were confusing. They are certainly not sufficient especially regards tightening the wire and how to thread through the gripples. Even after a phone call with the Harrod Horticultural team it was confusing and difficult. They said because they don't manufacture the gripples they don't include instructions which seems poor in terms of customer support. The online videos were some help. In summary | Good product, yet pricey, poor instructions and support sadly.

The service was ok. However the quality of the raised bed was very average and certainly not worth what I paid for it. I could have bought the materials from the local builder's merchant a lot cheaper and still have put it together. Really quite disappointing.

We are very pleased with the steel arch you sent and which is now erected. However, the delivery system was appalling. Two of the three packages were delivered within the specified time, but the third was said to have been lost by the delivery company. Having contacted yourselves you said it would be delivered the following day which did not happen. I contacted you several times to be given the same answer blaming the delivery company and refusing to send a replacement package.. Eventually a different Harrod representative agreed to immediately despatch a new package. Not a good performance.

We do state on our website that the capping to our Timber Raised Beds is optional. However, this can be ordered separately afterwards. Please kindly contact our Customer Service Team to place an order on 0333 400 6400, or alternatively please email us a telephone number and convenient time to call you. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

My order was monumentally slow to arrive (we’re talking weeks!). Once it did, the item was bent out of shape. I then had to wait another significant amount of time for the replacement, which arrived without fittings. So I had to wait for those. All in all, my order was fulfilled over the course of about a month, which is a terrible effort.

Disappointed that it took 5 phone calls and a wait of several weeks to get my item delivered. On 2 occasions I was promised call backs that never came.

I ordered a raised bed which was out of stock but only for a week or so. On the day it was due in stock I was sent an email saying it was further delayed by around a month. I cancelled the order. Comms were actually great and no quibble when I cancelled but poor that I couldn't get an advertised product within 5-6 weeks given the original delivery timescale.

Put in quite a few things in the order and there have been a lot of delays. When one order came it was wrong. Having said that they did sort it out correctly(although I am still waiting for the correct things to be delivered)

We are very pleased with the raised beds BUT we are very unhappy that you have still not delivered the hoops and covers ordered and paid for on31st March . We were not advised that there was a problem when we ordered and we had to make contact with you when the order did not arrive . We would have expected an explanation and apology for the delay with such a reputable company.

I wished to order two Popadome Crop Protection systems as a Xmas present, but found that only spare covers were available. So I bought two of these, in the hope that the frames would soon appear again. We are now into February, and nothing has changed. Maybe Covid-19 is the culprit? Whatever, I obviously have not been able to put the system to use, and so cannot comment on its effectiveness. Could not your website at least give some idea as to when these will be for sale again? Without them I am of course unable to use the replaced covers already purchased!

This is the second order where it has taken months for the delivery. My first one was in April and took 3 months eventually arrived in July! I was forgiving of that because it was during lockdown. But second order was beginning of December still not received and told might still not get it at end of January (3rd time due date been changed).

Oh Dear. I've emailed to praise you for keeping me in touch with the delayed order. Totally understandable. Yet, now I'm asked how happy I am with a product that still hasn't been delivered. What a shame. I called out Sarah Raven's company for continuing to bombard me with email shots and then send me the service rating email, just as you have done now. You have fared better - at least keeping me across the state of our order. But really, you should STOP all your rating forms until you are sure your customers have received the goods. Getting disappointed with my service from you now - still waiting for the propagator - and currently out of pocket by nearly £200. I hope the wait will be worth it.

Still waiting! I ordered a geo propogator as a Christmas gift. I ordered it well before Christmas but here we are on the 16th January 2021 still waiting! To be fair, I’ve had several emails from HH informing me that my order is delayed and I do appreciate that these are exceptional times and that stuff being imported may be delayed. (If indeed these propogators are coming from overseas). Estimated delivery in now the end of Jan. So I can’t review the product as I’m still waiting!

This item, a birthday gift, was delayed because of the supplier but you only told me of the delay when I phoned to find out where it was. As it was then due to arrive after the birthday, I phoned and asked you to deliver it, not to me but to my friend’s house. I was told you would arrange this. So I wasn’t impressed when it was delivered to me.

I ordered a pair of gardening gauntlets for a Christmas present. When ordering they were not saying they were out of stock. About a week later I received an email to say they were out of stock but hopefully be in within the week.The next email said a date in January. I cancelled the order but did receive a very king email from you. Receiving an email like this from yourselves is not very professional when I have received nothing

Placed an order for a border fork an spade a couple of weeks before Christmas. Both items were shown as in stock. Subsequently received emails telling me that there would be a delay of one week for the fork, then a delay of three weeks, then an even longer (indeterminate) delay.

Very disappointing as the order was incomplete. The lack of detail regarding the components only added to the frustration. My first Harrod experience and it wasn’t good
