Has anyone bought figs from this company? I made an on-line purchase last fall and have sent 3 e-mails in the last 5 months and not 1 response on what month my fig trees might be shipped? I starting to think there not a real company or just not very good with customer service so I don't know if I need to purchase more figs from someone else or just be patience with this company which I don't mind waiting if they are legit and gave me an approximate month. So has anyone ever lost money with them?

    Yeah, I think the amount of orders took him by surprise and he's had more trouble producing the trees than anticipated. Lots of drama surrounding this. Some people have asked for refunds and I believe he has honored them, but he is slow in responding. It sounds like he has been flooded with emails.

    Thanks dieseler and Jason after reading that post and their web site it looks like
    I might get the trees when they are ready since it looks like they are a grow to
    order site which I don't mind waiting I'm just not use to someone not replying to an
    e-mail since they are selling the trees. I usually don't read through every page of a web site, I just look for
    the fig+price+zone+shipping and I’m not sure if back then they said when to
    expect the trees on the page so I assumed it would be in March. It would
    be nice if they sent an e-mail or link to an information page at or during the purchase process that
    would tell you more about shipping dates and their growing processes for new
    customers that don't know this. I don't mind the wait but when they don't reply to any of my e-mails it got me scared they aren't going to send the trees. I’ll be patience and if the trees are nice I might even purchase more in the future since I now know they are a grow to order site.

    I just checked the site and they are selling fig trees for 2017 fall shipping? Hard to believe they claim this since we and so many other people still don't have their's? I'm kind of over it, he's said in his March update that some trees will go out in late summer, we'll see.

    I spent a little shy of $400 and saw that he was taking pre-orders for the Fall 2017 season. I really don't want anyone else to spend money at this shop when there are a lot of people who still have not received last year's order from him.

    I placed my order last fall for march then they said spring or early summer now what?

    Guy, you are in line! From his latest posts, he's stopped taking orders, will ship cuttings out this fall. Not sure about the trees.

    I waited a year for plants that never came, eventually he did refund me....I will not order again until he can prove he has correctly labeled plants to ship at the ready and that does not look like it is going to happen in the near future... as the old saying goes "if it looks too good to be true..... it usually is"

    I'm easy to work with, I told him if he didn't have the variety fig I had order just send me another variety so I can get something planted and he has not sent me 1 single e-mail ever, so I already bought some trees locally and gave up on him. Maybe if i'm in his area one day I will stop by for my trees.

    I SENT MONEY FOR THREE STARTER FIGS IN SRING AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD RECIEVE PLANTS IN FALL. I ALSO SENT EMAIL AND HAVENOT GOT NO RETURN EMAIL. IM GOING TO TURN TO BANK AS THEY GIVE OPTION TO HAVE INVESTIGATORS CONTACT GREENFIN COMPANY.

    My order is also over due and no response to emails. Filed complaint with PayPal. Even if is over 180 days, complain to PayPal and his account will be shut down.
