This seller has great costumer service and follows up on your orders. Unfortunately my order didn’t do too well due to extended shipping routes… the plants were somehow rerouted through Puerto Rico on the way to California and didn’t survive turning into mush after in my tank. Yeah know it’s weird but it happened.The thing that stands out is that Anthony reached out and wanted to make things right. The shop offered to send new plants to make things right and replaced them. Waiting for their arrival to take pictures and update the review. Update: the replacement plants arrived in 2 days and were healthy and lushy green. I also got a generous amount of each of the plants I ordered. Lesson learned is that if your plants arrive looking a bit damaged or sad looking take pictures and let Daku know. They have great customer service and go above and beyond to make things right. Highly recommend buying from them. Thank you Anthony.
Will definitely be making more purchases from your shop in the future!
Plant is green, healthy and thriving
the plants were well packed and in good shape. About 1 to 3 dollars from the previous place I bought from, I will definitely but from Daku in the future. Bought a plant from Feeders Pet store last week, put it in a new empty tank It has put hundreds of Hydra into that tank. For now on it will be Daku for my plants.
