    Christy, If you want to call a reaction to your defensiveness and tone rude , go ahead. I did not find your behavior to be concerned or professional. Apparantly, you cant keep track of your customers in a professional way either. No, I’m not confused about where I made the purchases, but you are confused about your records. I cannot help that. I received beautiful, healthy, alive plants, but they were not the correct size for what I paid for. Speaking of attitudes, you were already decided that I was in the wrong before you looked at the photos I sent. I asked to speak to your superior, and you refused, saying you were the owner. As you can see below, I am not comparing sizes with another vendor. Incidentally you wouldn’t tell me the standard for your sizes. Frankly, I wouldn’t take your advice on anything, but I’m wondering why you assume I have been making purchases with Plantingtree.com. It’s easy to project your own attitude onto someone else when you need to insist you are right about something before actually showing sincere concern for the person who is providing you business,. The call did end in disappointment, not rudeness, over your treatment of a customer. Telling you I would expect better treatment toward a repeat customer and that I would not do business there again, is not rude. It’s factual.
