Burgess Seeds

pmcgrady · January 23, 2017

I placed an order for quite a few melons and watermelons with Burgess, since they are just north of me about 100 miles, it's been almost a month... No seeds. I called, they were very vague told me to call back in a week if I haven't received them. They have cheaper seed prices but they hit you with a $9.95 shipping/handling charge. Not too happy with my Burgess buying experience. Anybody buy from them?

I was about to place an order with them tonight and thought I'd better check the dXXes gxxxen watchdog. Yours seems to be a common situation, unfortunately..

Still haven't heard a peep out of them.,,

Hats off to Baker Creek and TGS! Got my order from them within 5 days!

I have not ordered from them but have been to their wholesale/retail operation.
I've never seen houses in such a state of disarray. This was a few years ago.
A quick 5 minute look was all I needed. What a mess.

I'm always sent the catalog and I don't know why since I've never bought anything from them,ever,and IMO the catalog is close to being,well,ridiculous.

Please check out all the complaints
