Chris Gilcrest of Growquest Growers

Took my money, never delivered my rose tree.

1st of Mar, 2012 by mlaiuppa

I ordered a Chihuly 36" standard rose tree from Chris on Dec. 1. He required payment through Intuit. I usually use Paypal. (They have a money back guarantee for non-delivery. Must be why Chris prefers Intuit, the do nothing tax people) I waited for a bare root rose tree. Finally e-mailed him on Feb. 1 as I think 30 days is quite long enough to get a tree. He then e-mails me on Feb. 16 that he has to call me for a credit card for delivery since it's no longer in his system. (It was never in his system). The tree is all "boxed" and waiting for FedEx but I haven't paid for shipment. Apparently the $10 was for a wooden crate, not shipping a bare root rose in a cardboard box like any other nursery. Then he says he's just going to delivery it himself. Well, that's come and gone and still nothing. Now he says he's sending it out Monday, Feb. 27, 2012 via FedEx. No tracking number. It's not here. More lies.

This guy owns a vapor nursery with vapor inventory. Google him and you'll find all over the web he is scamming people for money and never delivering any product. Now he's using YouTube to generate victims. None of what you see is his nursery or his plants. More lies.

Tulare ran him out of Visalia. Now he's set up shop in Santa Paula, Ventura county.

If he's ripped you off, call Intuit to shut down his money transfer, call the Ventura County D.A. to file a written complaint and notify YouTube to try to get his account shut down there.

Serial con man.
