Order number S8AZ054841 was a prepaid order for 6 plants, placed on After taking 10 days to select these plants from their own nurseries, NurseryLive sent me a text on Sunday (26th July) with an invalid phone number for the Delivery Person. Concerned that Bangalore is under lock down on Sundays and because I couldn't reach the delivery person, I tried reaching the customer support over the phone through the number listed on their website (which was switched off), then the number on their google page which rang for two hours (11 am to 1 pm) but was not received, after which I tried reaching them on chat (which they didn't respond to).
Monday 27th July
After over 40 calls, 4 attempts at chat (one is still in the background while I'm typing this complaint, been in the queue since 3 p.m., they have not reverted with a tracking ID, a delivery person's number. One support executive recieved a call once on the number [protected] promising to share the details in a few minutes (this was at 10.30 am). It's 5 pm today, and there's no revert as yet. Customer support personnel Marie had called from the numbrt[protected] to check if my issue was resolved at 12 noon. When I asked her for the tracking ID, she said she'll check with the back end team. She has since switched off her phone.
I'm at my wits end trying to reach them, distracted and late on a gift that I was due to give on Sunday. Nevertheless, the least NurseryLive could do is share the tracking number and cross check whether their orders have been delivered (if dispatched at all). I can't even cancel my order because that again has to happen by reaching the customer support which is non-existent in this case.
As a fellow startup employee, I have tremendous respect for young companies, the challenges they face and am more than willing to trust a business, only if the business can at least communicate that the customer's product/money is safe.
By far my worst experience with any Indian e-commerce seller ever. Order dispatched or not, it's a sincere request to audit this company on their products, service deliveries, timelines and whether they've actually sent the products to their customers. Companies like this are the reason Indian e-commerce gets a bad name time and again.
