Van Meuwen no longer trades under its own name: it merged into Thompson & Morgan in 2025, vanmeuwen.com now forwards to the Thompson & Morgan website, and Thompson & Morgan's customer care team handles all Van Meuwen enquiries, including orders, guarantees and vouchers from before the merger. Old Van Meuwen accounts and order history did not carry over, so have your own records ready before you make contact: the order confirmation email with the order number, the dispatch window quoted at checkout and photographs of anything that arrived dry, crushed or dead, because a claim on living plants is settled on the pictures and the dates. Prefer writing to calling where you can: a dispute about a missed planting window is far easier to prove from an email trail.

Plants arrived dry, crushed or dead? Put it to them through us and we push your complaint out by email, on social media and by printed letter.

When Van Meuwen merged into Thompson & Morgan in 2025, Thompson & Morgan said outstanding Van Meuwen orders would be fulfilled as usual and that its customer care team would handle tracking and questions about them. Van Meuwen dispatched plants, bulbs and seeds inside a stated planting window rather than on a fixed date, quoted next to each item at checkout and repeated in the order confirmation. The old Van Meuwen account and its order history are no longer available, so chase a missing order in writing with the order number and the window from your confirmation email, and ask for a dispatch date rather than a general reassurance. Note the date the window closed, because a delivery that lands after the planting season is the strongest version of this complaint.

Thompson & Morgan says it honours all existing Van Meuwen guarantees since the 2025 merger, so a claim on plants bought from Van Meuwen now goes to its customer care team. Van Meuwen sent living plants, so a guarantee claim turns on how fast you reported the state they arrived in: photographs of anything dry, crushed or dead next to the packaging and the delivery note, taken on the day the box arrived, carry the claim. Check whether the guarantee on your order offered your money back or only a replacement in the next growing season, because those are very different outcomes once a season is lost. Under UK consumer law the goods have to match their description and be of satisfactory quality when they reach you, and that contract is with the seller rather than with the courier. Keep the order number, the photographs and the dates of every message you send.

Since Van Meuwen merged into Thompson & Morgan in 2025, subscribers to the Van Meuwen newsletter receive Thompson & Morgan emails instead, so the mailings to stop are now Thompson & Morgan's: unsubscribe from the emails and ask Thompson & Morgan in writing to remove you from its catalogue and email lists, quoting the name and address exactly as printed on the wrapper. Under UK data protection rules you can object to direct marketing and ask what data is held about you, and that request is best sent in writing so the date is on record. If catalogues keep arriving months later, repeat the request, keep the copies and note the dates.

Catalogues you never asked for still arriving? Report it on our website and we help you write an effective complaint in minutes, drawing on thousands of complaint letters that actually worked.
