![]() I don't know why they would never send them, that is bad. But at my own online store, I hold the orders until usually April and May and send them unless you are down south where the weather is ok to plant them, and it's warm enough to ship them. If someone e-mailed me and wanted them right away, I'd explain why I couldn't if it was too cold or the plants were still to small or something like that.
I do always have a million things to say on my ads though. I kind of thought the more information, the better, so people could make an informed choice.

![]() I recently ordered plant and have not received my purchase nor did they respond to my request to cancel my order. At this point, i have filed a dispute with my credit card company, and will report them to BBB and the FBI for interstate commerce fraud.

![]() I did file a BBB complaint against this company! After many non response e-mails fromm BBB regarding the company (BBB did not get responses) I finally got one From BBB that Oasis did respond: Apparently Their attorney was concerned that from my "threats" the office staff was scared of me. This is funny because I have never once talked to a live person at the company. Now Oasis is trying to get BBB to cease and desist and further action on my behalf. May 4, 2012 Tree order date....Still no trees or Refund

![]() After two months of email and calling Oasis, my credit card company and BBB, they finally issued my refund. I would highly encourage those who have not received their plants or refund to file a complaint with BBB and Florida's Attorney General. I don't think they are a real company. Here is the response Oasis' attorney sent to BBB regarding my complaint:
Hello Ms. McDade, I have to believe we have already dealt with you before, but for our legal records my name is Attorney Anthony Johnson and I work within this company for any legal matters. Again, I am responding to another one of your issues raised by one of our prior customers. Ms. Toommaly was well informed that the item she ordered was NOT promised at any certain date. The particular tree ordered from my client was to be shipped and delivered by July 30/2012. Our client makes it extremely clear on their website that some items will be shipped when they are at the proper age and size. It is also is made very clear on the website about the customer being totally responsible to understand our clients shipping policies. If the customer has neglected to read any of the information, that should not rest upon our clients company. The information that Ms. Toomaly has forwarded to you is false and shall be proven in a court of law if necessary. The BBB is there for both business and consumer and this matter should be treated as such, and you may want to strongly consider any further damaging comments or derogatory statements from your client. In addition, any derogatory and false statements posted on the BBB website in regards to our clients company or the any ratings posted on said website will also be disputed to the fullest extent of the law. Again, let this message serve as a "Cease and Desist" in regards to this complaint. If you have any other questions just email us at any time forwarded to me, their representing attorney. Anthony Johnson - Attorney at Law |

![]() Thanks Randy.
After reading what you wrote, I called eBay to ask a few questions about Oasis & SGABirds. eBay actually suspended the account of Oasis and the first appeal to reopen was denied. eBay also said that they can see a link between sgabird and oasis. A report was filed to close the account of sgabird. I did not make any request, I merely informed eBay that they both shipped from Spring Hill Florida.

![]() Hi Bananas! I found your site to late, after I already ordered my banana plants from Oasis Tropical Plants and Trees. THEY ARE SCAM! NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THAT SITE EVER! I ordered four of banana plants from them only because the site was more colorful and huge choice of different varieties than Florida Hills Nursery. I wish I would make the other choice. Anyway, after two weeks after my order I started worrying where is my order. I emailed them:
________________________ This is my third email to you!!! I have ordered four banana plants from your site on August 9 and no response or any information about it. What's going on??? I am wondering where is my order and when it is going to be shipped to me? Your email says : Shipping times during the busy season can range from 3 to 15 business days It is already more than 15 days since I ordered my plans and I don't have any shipping/tracking or any other information about my order and nobody contacts me. What kind of customer service are you ?! If you wont sent me any reply, I want my money back and I am not going to have any business with you! _____________________________ and got a reply: Hi Tanya, This is the first email that I received from you, so, you were not being ignored.We receive hundreds of emails a day and sometimes the emails get lost, spam, whatever, I am sure you already know. Anyways, you should receive an email update from us within the next few hours, and your order will be going out. You will also receive an email update with the USPS confirmation and tracking # in the next 24 to 48 hours. Please email me in return when you receive this message so I know for sure you got it. Best regards, Kim Kimberly Rodriguez - Customer Service Manager __________________________________________ Hi Tanya, I just contacted the Operations Manager about your order. It was marked as picked up and shipped by the USPS. On the 15th and 16th of August the USPS mixed up 25 or so orders and your order was part of that mess. I thought something was not right because our shipping times are normally between 5 to 10 business days at the most. That was the big flag. Unfortunately, your order was part of that mess. We have since been correcting the problem and everything is o.k. So, I needed to update you on the issue. Also, we are clearing out all of our herb and spice plants, Ivy's, and some flowers. So if you would like to go to the "Herb and Spice plants" and "Various Flowers and Plants" sections and send me a list of any you are interested in. I will check the stock and will send you some for free with your order. Let me know. Kim __________________ And that was the end of the communication with them. The answering machine picks their telephone calls and nobody return my emails. Today we contacted PayPal and the guy are working on them. The PayPal guy said they have to options for the "company" : or they return my money, or send me the order. OR... PayPal returns our money back and will get the money from the "company" later. You have 45 days to act, that's what those freaks are counting on. Again: NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM, EVER!!! Thank you, Bananas!!! |
