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

Order of equipment and food only. The order took a little time to leave but everything is in order :-)

Hello,

Indeed, one of the ordered items was temporarily out of stock, which slightly delayed the departure of your order. Additionally, the day of the French national holiday also impacted our delivery times.

Best regards,

Shipping and delivery times too long
Translated reviews
Response from AquaBota
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that the shipping times did not meet your expectations. Depending on the period and the saturation of the networks, it does happen that Mondial Relay experiences delays beyond our control.

For faster delivery in France, we recommend choosing GLS at a pickup point, which generally delivers in 2 to 3 working days. The price difference is minimal (about €1.50) and can make a real difference during busy periods.

Best regards,
The Aquabota team

Dear customer,

Thank you for your message.

We indeed regret that the driver delivered the package to the wrong location, without any clear information about where it was left. This is certainly not the service we strive for.

We have immediately taken the necessary steps with the carrier and, while awaiting clarity, we have already refunded the purchase amount to you correctly.

Our apologies for the inconvenience and thank you once again for your understanding.

Best regards,
The Aquabota team

Plant received correctly and of good quality, however there was a big delay in shipping (not GLS's fault).

Good afternoon! Thank you for receiving your order. The plants arrived in good condition, but the Bocopa arrived in bad condition. Had to dispose of it.

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.

Fast delivery. Healthy potted plants. In vitro plant a little damaged. Only one delivery service (GLS) available which is a bit expensive for 3 plants to be delivered.
