Excellent trees, accessories and service.
I have bought a couple of trees from Bonsai Direct. Good price, arrived quickly and were in excellent condition. Bonsai Direct sell a comprehensive range of tools and accessories too. There are also links to very informative tutorial videos on YouTube starring Lloyd from Bonsai direct. He knows his craft.

Awful Company
Bonsai arrived not looking the best, followed the care instructions and even sent them photos as I was concerned about it and followed their exact instructions but the bonsai died after about 2 months of having it and they don’t want to help as it’s past 7 days, awful customer service.

Hi Lauren,
We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed and truly understand how upsetting it is to lose a bonsai. The tree was healthy and in flower when it left us.
When you reached out with photos, we recommended moving it outdoors and keeping it there, as moving it repeatedly between indoors and outdoors can cause stress.
At the time of delivery, it was coming to the end of its flowering period (we informed you of this during our latest messages) — it is natural for this species to flower for roughly a month from late February. Unfortunately, we didn’t hear from you again until the tree had already died, which meant we had no opportunity to guide you further or help recover the bonsai at an earlier stage.
We always aim to support our customers with care advice and guidance — even beyond our standard 7 day return policy. This return policy is in place as once the bonsai has been out of our care for this long, we are unable to accept responsibility for its condition as we are not caring for it. When buying a bonsai from us, you gain our help and expertise with your bonsai for life. We regret we weren’t able to help in time in this case.

Wonderful service and perfect Bonsai
Absolutely wonderful service from Sarah at Bonsai Direct, she went above and beyond to help me out and guide me in the buying process after I was let down by another supplier. Ordered on Saturday lunchtime and it was with me the next day on time for Father’s Day. The bonsai is gorgeous and exactly as pictured and arrived incredibly well packaged. So so happy and will definitely use them again. Thank you Sarah, you saved Father’s Day!

Amazing company great advice
Amazing company great advice. My wife bought me a bonsai for Valentine’s Day. It was doing really well. It then started to shed all its leaves after about a month. I contacted the company on messenger explaining the situation sent pics etc. They really took the time to explain to do to try and help it. Fast forward 2 weeks and the tree is flourishing again. Now thinking what tree next!

Such a perfect little bonsai tree…
Such a perfect little bonsai tree arrived! I purchased a Chinese elm bonsai tree for my grandparents who were absolutely delighted to receive it. The tree is beautiful and arrived very quickly - within 2 days of ordering it. It is good quality and came packaged very well. I believe bonsai direct are one of the best bonsai tree suppliers!

My second time ordering from this company, buying a large ceramic pot and drip tray for repotting my bonsai. Arrived carefully packaged, with full instructions, soil, wire and mesh. The pot and tray are good quality, and my bonsai looks great in its new home. Very happy and would use again :)

Won’t refund after 7 days
Won’t refund after 7 days. I’ve been looking after my tree since Christmas hoping that I will see any green leaves or flowers and nothing. It’s basically twigs in a tray. I’ve watered it gently and fed it as it advised. Really poor.
EDIT to the reply. It won’t let me upload a photo on here, or I would. I saved the twigs in the pot in hope.
EDIT - I will email you the photo with order number. I haven’t emailed you as it makes it clear on your website that you only offer a 7 day refund and if I have pruned it, you also do not offer a refund. I know I can’t have a refund as I pruned it to try and save it, but I have been sent a defective tree so wanted to share my review of my product. That’s all. I don’t want to have to email you but I will, to prove my purchase and review is genuine.
EDIT - I will dig out the order number but this is extremely frustrating as I’m not asking anything of you, I just wanted to let people know that I’ve been sent a defective order!!! I’m now getting cross, as I’m having to come on here again, when all I wanted to do is write a review which you wanted. I will send the order number and will contact trustpilot - this is an awful experience.

Dear Kate, We cannot find an order for you or any communication from you. We have no idea what tree you have. Please can you call us so we can help or email us on help@bonsaidirect.co.uk (a photograph would be helpful). Many thanks The Bonsai Direct Team
EDIT to reply. Are you able to email me the photo as requested please to help@bonsaidirect.co.uk. Thank you
EDIT 2: Hi Kate, We accept returns 7 days after delivery so that we can still resell the bonsai in the event someone changes their mind. If there is an issue we welcome contact as soon as possible. There is always a reason a bonsai does not thrive and the sooner we are contacted the better we can help. We have a whole area of the website dedicated to care and advice and we want the bonsai to do well and be a rewarding experience. By sending a photograph we can give you the correct advice. Obviously the longer an issue is left unresolved, the worse the problem could be. We would never send a sick bonsai. Every single one is checked prior to dispatch. I would like to help which is why we are kindly requesting a photograph. Many thanks
EDIT 3: Dear Kate,
Thanks for sending your phone number and email address. I cannot find an order with either your name, phone number or email address. Please can you confirm your order number? I have checked our admin section and emails. Many thanks Sarah
EDIT 4: Hi Kate, In no way are we trying to be difficult. We simply have no reference of your order. Nothing matches, so we only ask for the order number otherwise we question if the bonsai has been purchased from us. We have no photo either to see the symptoms as per our request and cannot match any of your details. We just need this information to establish the cause of the decline in the bonsai and to see if we should replace it. Kind regards Sarah

Amazing First Experience….
After a few months of obsessing over them, I purchased my first Bonsai from Bonsai Direct and it just arrived this evening. Could not be happier, I ordered Saturday delivery and was worried I wouldn’t get it on time with the recent storm hitting the UK but it came fine and in exceptional packaging to keep it safe. The tree and service exceeded all expectations.
Would not go anywhere else now as Bonsai Direct has set the bar very high.
Thank You, I look forward to my next purchase which I know is going to be very soon!

Christmas Gift for my son
Ordered a 12 year old tree of a thousand stars for my son's christmas gift. Package arrived and it was really well wrapped. No damage, no soil loss and in excellent condition. I have no doubt it will transport back to his own home 200miles away despite having been taken out and admired, without, I suspect any damage. My son loves it and hopes to be able to look after it to a good age. Care instructions are also excellent and easily followed and they now have "bonsai care" on their website menu I have no doubt will prove extremely helpful to my son. Thank you Bonsai Diect for an excellent service. ❤️

It arrived on time and the packaging and delivery process was flawless.

My first Bonsai.
Bonsai trees are something I have wanted to grow all my life. So when I finally got around to getting one, I read the reviews and studied the images online and decided that Bonsai direct looked the best. I look forward to a long and interesting relationship with the as they see to be not just good growers (the tree I bought is great) but very happy to help develop skills and help with all aspects of this new hobby going forward.

My wife bought me a beautiful bonsai- but beware
My wife bought me a stunning 19 year old bonsai for £675.00 to celebrate my being clear of pancreatic cancer for 12 months. We received the stunning tree, soaked the plant as instructed, the leaves started to drop as they said they would, then they turned brown, we reached out for help as no new buds were appearing and whilst the staff at the company were excellent sadly they concluded that she was in fact dead. A very sad experience , the company have offered us a 20% discount if we buy another one , but we don’t want to purchase again from them in case the next one is also dead or dying - so it’s sadly caveat emptor and for us a very expensive mistake.

Hi Steve,
We completely understand your disappointment and we appreciate your comments about the excellent help from our team and the stunning bonsai you received.
Unfortunately by the time you had contacted us, your bonsai had already died, if we had been contacted sooner then it is more likely that we could've helped your bonsai.
As explained by our experts, from the photos you have provided and the information given, it sounds like your bonsai dried out. You had said that your bonsai was also exposed to direct sunlight.
We can assure you that our bonsai are thoroughly checked before shipping and the same expert who gave their advice via email was the person who checked it before sending it so they were shocked to see that it had died.
We are really sorry that you have lost your beautiful bonsai.
Best Wishes,
Bonsai Direct.

My mum had a cheap £7 bonsai bought in…
My mum had a cheap £7 bonsai bought in a sale that she cared for for over a decade. The tree died and I thought to replace it with a much better quality tree. I spent over £60 on a tree for next to nothing. It arrived already shedding leaves, mum carefully read the leaflet and continued to care for it. Within a few weeks it was obvious it was dead, if it was even alive in the first place. The website says it doesn't guarantee plants after 7 days!! I tried contacting the company four times via their website contact form. They answered once asking for pics which I supplied and I've not heard from them since. My money could have bought a beautiful bouquet that would've outlasted the tree by weeks. The tree was meant for her to love and nurture as she did the prior one. I do not recommend these products or their customer service.

Dear Joanne,
I am truly sorry that you are disappointed with the bonsai order. As I have said on the phone we have checked 3 separate computers and have not received a reply to the email which we sent you, asking for photos. This is why you have not had a reply from us. We are always quick in replying. You should expect a reply within a few hours on a working day. There will always be a reason why a bonsai loses leaves and we would love to help. Please can you kindly forward the email or resend the photos. I have also checked the server and we have never received a reply from you so have been unable to help. As said on the phone we shall call you back later in the week as per your request. Our email address is help@bonsaidirect.co.uk. Kind regards The Bonsai Direct Team
