Anyone bought from Ty Ty Nursery?

17 years ago

I was wanting to know if the Ty Ty nursery was a reputable place to purchase from? I would appreciate any feedback as I would like to buy a couple of palms from them but don't want to get burned. Thanks.

    I haven't personally dealt with Ty-Ty, but I've read a lot of negative experiences from others, enough for me to steer clear of them.

    I can't find them on Gardenwatchdog.com anymore. But the reviews were really bad and the replies from TyTy were not nice.
    Even the link that was posted on the Georgia forum to GWD about them has been deleted.
    They must have a lot of pull. But I wouldn't trust them.

    Thanks for the info. I think I will buy elsewhere.

    I attempted to purchase seven fig trees from Ty Ty Nursery on January 3. I paid in advence with a debit card. They failed to ship and they refused to refund my money.

    On May 23, I finally received a full refund from Ty Ty (aka "Arrons" aka "The Nursery at Ty Ty") with numerous other DBA's.
    For those of you unfortunate enough to do business with these people........here's what I did.

    After 8 or 9 attempts to work with them on my own, I contacted the Georgia Better Business Bureau. This was a complete waste of time.

    The Nursery owner, Patrick Malcolm, told the BBB that he sent me a refund and the BBB closed out my case. Only problem was........he never sent the check.

    I next contacted the Georgia Dpt of Consumer Affairs. Nelson Mitchell handled my case and, within four weeks, I received my refund. Funny thing though. The check was dated April 28, 2008, but the envelope it was contained in was postmarked 19 May, 2008.

    I would highly recommend that anyone having difficulty with this "nursery" (and I use the term loosely) contact the Georgia Office of Consumer Affairs like I did. I have included their address and phone number below:

    Which is why you never ever ever never never ever ever want to buy anything on line or on the phone with a debit card. You have no rights. use a credit card and you have rights. If the goods are never delivered you call your credit card company they credit your account and then they work it out with the merchant. USE YOUR CREDIT CARD.

    For that matter you never ever want to buy anything of value with a debit card. Use your debit card for groceries and gas. If you are buying clothes, applicances, etc always use your credit card and then pay it off at when the statement comes. You have way more rights with a credit card than a debit card.

    The people at Ty Ty are scumbags (and I'm sorry if I just offended any respectable scumbags).

    There is no "nursery" or "fields of plants" as they claim on their website. If you travel to the town of TyTy, Ga you'll find a red metal building with a bunch of half dead, weed infested, unmarked, unpriced plants out in front. The "plant specialists" you'll encounter look more like banjo strummin' Deliverance rejects. Steer way clear of this bunch, seriously. If you have money to part with & expect nothing in return, send it to me instead.

    the photos are hilarious on that site. Their photoshopping abilities are second to none. I'm totally lying.
