Horrible customer service

I had a horrible recent experience with this nursery. The first time we went to Connon was last year. We had gone there to make an appointment for a consultation with a landscape designer to design our flower beds. We were told it would cost $75/hour for this and to email pictures as well as flower bed dimensions so a sketch/design could be done and then they would walk around the nursery with us to discuss plants/flowers, etc. The day before our consultation, we emailed multiple pictures as well as a sketch of our flower beds and dimensions to the designer. When we got to our appointment, we were told we never emailed anything to the designer, which I had shown the sent email to them on my phone...we basically sat with the designer while she drew a sketch of our garden for the whole hour (which we had already done and sent via email). After doing this, we walked around the nursery with the designer, which was about another hour. After we were done, we were told it would cost double...

Dear customer, we are very surprised and disappointed to have read this review. Over 200 hand-sketch landscape designs are completed each year, and many rave about the low cost for such professional service! On our website: www.connon.ca in the Resources tab, we clearly outline the fees for our service, including the $75 refund after $500 in purchases (a "Thank-you" to our purchasing customers!). I'm sorry that the communication wasn't strong in this regard, and we would love the opportunity of earning your business back. Perhaps we could start by completely refunding your design fees?

Hi,
I appreciate the response - it's quite the surprise as I had given up on this and figured I wouldn't be getting a reply back.
That would be very kind and I would appreciate that very much.
I don't have any doubt your landscape designs are to par and you've had happy customers, but unfortunately, ours wasn't a very pleasant experience and was hoping something was done about it at that time, but the manager didn't seem to care about the issue we had or losing the business. The design fees cost us a total of $150.00 - will this go back onto my VISA? Is there someone specific I should ask for when I go there?
Thanks again for the kind gesture - I will definitely consider going back to Connon and this is proof that there are still kind people out there that care about their customers and loyalty! Thanks again!
