Monroe came in good condition and in a timely manner.
The 2 trees in my order that didn't arrive in good condition were replaced. (It did take a bit of time to address, but it was likely due to the holiday season)
The box arrived badly damaged. I was afraid the 4ft tree I ordered was going to be horribly damaged. Instead there was a two foot tree in fairly good condition. Considering the beating it apparently took in transit, it arrived well. What a disappointment it is not the tree I ordered.
Our Monroe arrived in great condition! Leaves looked healthy and the tree was well packaged. Planted it right away in the ground and it has been doing wonderful. It’s been in the ground about one week now and no signs of any stress or shock. Very happy with our newest addition to the backyard!
Excellent Service..The tree was well packaged and shipped quickly..
Thank You
Will buy again when the selll re stock
Arrived in good condition, thank you!
