You sent my package with the carrier GLS, I have been waiting for my plant package since 7/05, it still hasn't arrived on 11/05, it has even been postponed to the next day, you should check your carrier, they do not provide enough information, and the package arrives very late. My plants will surely be damaged by the days spent in this package...

I am disappointed with the received shipment. The photo presented for the sale of the product does not have the same size and volume as in this product photo!

Mixed review, overall good package, but boxes damaged and some plants arrived looking cooked (dark green, slimy) at the tips. I am waiting for customer service's response, we will see.

Response from AquaBota
Hello,

We confirm that the model received is indeed compliant with the one purchased.

If it is a coconut with a hole in the middle, it corresponds to the following reference:
Anubias Nana Bonsai on coconut (ref. 4001615300871)
https://www.aquabota.com/fr/plante-sur-racine-aquarium/19294-anubias-nana-bonsai--4001615300871.html

This model does have an opening in the front, allowing fish to circulate inside.

On the contrary, the classic half-coconut does not have a front opening allowing fish to enter. Therefore, it is a different product.

Best regards,
G

I did not receive the €5 welcome bonus that remained on the old order that disappeared from my cart
Translated reviews
Response from AquaBota
Hello,

You are not entitled to a €5 discount, but rather to 5%.

We tried to contact you twice and left a message on your voicemail, with no response from you so far.

Your order has not disappeared: you chose the SEPA transfer payment method, so it is pending receipt of payment.
Since you have already used your discount code on this order, it is unfortunately not possible to reuse it on the second one.

Three stars for the courier, the plant arrived late and a bit suffering, I hope it recovers. Regarding the availability of Aquabota, nothing to say, courteous and helpful. They should do something about the shipping; an aquarium plant, even if well packed, arriving late is still a problem.

Response from AquaBota
Hello,

We have taken note of your comment and, after verification, we found that an inversion occurred during the preparation of your order. We sincerely apologize for this error.

I see that my colleague contacted you on the same day to offer you the sending of a prepaid return label and to organize the exchange of the product.

Low quality potted plants for the most part except for the microsorum and the cryptocorynes. For these, the labels are missing to distinguish them. I did not receive the correct anubias, I had requested a mini coin not a normal one. Also, two in vitro plants of poor quality. In short, 50% of the order is satisfactory.

Very poor communication!
Translated reviews
Response from AquaBota
Good day,

You requested and paid for a delivery to a pickup point, but since this pickup point was not accessible, you could have had the package sent to another pickup point. You have tried several times to have the package delivered to your home. It is normal that communication with the carrier does not go well when you pay for an apple and ask for a pear, that doesn't work...

When it comes to buying plants, it's better to see what you're buying, otherwise, expect unpleasant surprises. I remain disappointed by this mishap which, in my opinion, is unjustified regarding a particular product. Otherwise, it's fine, but it's better to only take In-vitro to be relatively sure of the reliability and quality of the product.

Due to a long delivery delay from CHRONOPOST, the vallisneria arrived damaged. I was at home and the delivery person left a delivery notice without even calling me on the phone, and they were dropped off at a pickup point to be collected 24 hours later. The anubias fared better during transport and are beautiful. As a result, I lost half of my plant order. Otherwise, the packaging was perfect but the delivery times were too long. I am quite disappointed...

Response from AquaBota
Hello,

Thank you for your message.

After verification, the carrier did indeed show up at your home and left a delivery notice, as you mentioned.
We completely understand your disappointment and would like to provide you with some useful clarifications.

In France, delivery drivers from carriers like GLS, DPD, or Chronopost do not have professional phones.
They are therefore not required to contact recipients in case of absence or unforeseen circumstances, although many sometimes take this initiative with their personal phone.

We sincerely regret that this delay in pickup compromised the freshness of the Vallisneria.
These plants being particularly sensitive to temperature fluctuations and transport duration, this can unfortunately impact their condition, despite all the care we take in packaging.

As a reminder, the procedure in case of damaged plants is available:

in the package,

in the delivery confirmation email,

and on our website on the FAQ page: https://www.aquabota.com/fr/content/14-faq

"Please send us the following items within 24 hours of receipt to the address [email protected]:

A photo of the sealed bag

A photo of the opened bag"


Best regards,
The Aquabota team

Hello,

After checking with the carrier, it turns out that your package was indeed delivered to your street, but to the wrong address. We have immediately forwarded the information to GLS so that this mistake does not happen again.

You are misled by incorrect photos on their webshop (smaller packages than indicated). In response to my email, they claimed they were not at fault, but afterwards they quickly adjusted the photo, which in my eyes was an admission of their mistake.
