I can stand valid criticism, backed by evidence that the buyer was wronged. This is none of that. This is an unfair complaint. The buyer had enough information available to understand what they were getting. The seller provided that info. The buyer chose to ignore it or just not inform themselves of what they were getting and then blame everyone but themselves for that oversight. This is the kind of complaint that can drive decent bonsai sellers out of the business. I've seen it happen.
Based on Terry from Mars's logic it is what I would suspect. The depth of the hole and the idiocy of its contents keep getting deeper.
YES, IN FACT, IT WOULD. If I'd been stuck in a hospital bed, and my recovery left me confined at home -- I would be delighted to receive a healthy plant which WOULD come into bloom in the future. Flowers are pretty in the moment -- but seeing the plant every day, observing the buds from their minute beginnings, THAT would be a gift that kept on giving. For years to come, in fact.
PERHAPS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE ACCEPTING PEOPLE CRAPPING ON YOU. ENJOY. YES, I AM ACERBIC AND OUTRAGED. WHEN SOMEONE POSTS A PICTURE OF A BLOOMING PLANT, I EXPECT A BLOOMING PLANT. YOU THINK BECAUSE THEY PUT A DISCLAIMER THAT THE WEED MAY BLOOM IN THE SPRING AND FALL THAT THAT REMOVES THEM FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR SENDING WHAT IT PICTURED. IT DOESN'T. IT IMPLIES THAT THE PLANT WILL BLOOM THEN WHICH IN THE CASE OF THIS COMPANY I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IF IT EVER WILL. IF THEY WISH TO PICTURE SUCH BLOOMING PLANT THAT WILL NOT BE BLOOMING THEY SHOULD EXPLICITLY STATE "PLANT MAY NOT BE BLOOMING WHEN SENT." THE BANK HAS ALREADY REFUNDED MY MONEY.
Not really. The link you provided doesn't give any promise of flowers at the time of delivery. It does say:
BECAUSE I HAD ORDERED FROM THEM ONCE BEFORE WHEN MY DR. TOLD ME THAT HE HAD LOST 100 PATIENTS TO COVID. I SENT HIM A BLOOMING BONSAI WHICH WAS...SURPRISE...BLOOMING. SO I TRUSTED THEM. WHEN SOMEONE ADVERTISES SOMETHING IN A PICTURE THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD GET. I GUESS MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE ARE COMPLETE SUCKERS OR...OR MERELY BONSAI AFICIONADOS. I AM A CONSUMER WHO EXPECTS TO GET WHAT IS PICTURED. THE DISCLAIMER DOES NOT SAY IT MAY NOT BE BLOOMING. IT SAYS IT BLOOMS IN THE SPRING AND FALL. SO WHAT? IT DOESN'T SAY IT MAY NOT BE BLOOMING WHEN SENT. IT MIGHT BLOOM IN THE SPRING AND FALL LATER. THIS IS NOT SOMEPLACE THAT HAS PLANTS GROWING OUTSIDE. THEY ARE A NURSERY WHICH CAN MAKE THINGS BLOOM ANYTIME THEY WANT AS DEMONSTRATED BY OTHER FLORISTS. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Do you know what acerbic means? Answer: "sharp and forthright". You have confused that with "lout"--which means "loud and stupid." You are about as sharp as a bowling ball...It's not our fault you don't bother reading what you're buying. At what point do you not require special assistance as an intelligent consumer? Are you the person that inspired obvious labeling for dumbasses on chain saws warning not to touch the moving chain? or not to use vanshing ink pens to sign contracts? or not to use the clothes dryer as an amusement park ride?
I'LL MATCH MY IQ WITH YOURS ANY DAY. I'VE NEVER SCORED LESS THAN 150 AND BELONG TO MENSA. I'VE TRIED TO EXPLAIN, MORON, THAT THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING. YOU CANNOT POST A PICTURE OF SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DELIVER. SO SCREW YOU.
THANK YOU
