Horrible company. Horrible customer service baited me in with free shipping and a $295 gorilla grow light 1000 w de excellent deal. Almost too good to be true after we complained about having to pay for the shipping when it was stated. Free shipping. They advised us that the light was no longer available. This is classic bait and switch and this is against the law. He then tried to sell me another light. After reading all the reviews, I believe we're going to pursue through our credit card company. I think that there's enough reviews on here and enough witnesses that'll make it right or at least put them out of business read more

GrowAce Customer Service Experience I recently ordered items (Order #GA-224073) from GrowAce, including a light and bags, which were marked as "in stock" on February 27, 2025. After five days with no shipping updates, I reached out for clarification, only to learn the bags were backordered, and they were holding my light shipment until the bags arrived. Despite requesting the light be shipped ASAP, GrowAce delayed further, creating a shipping label but not dispatching the item. It wasn't until I emailed on Tuesday, March 3, 2025, threatening to cancel due to ongoing delays that they suddenly sent a shipping notification the same day--conveniently after my cancellation request. This is a clear example of poor customer service and a lack of transparency. No proactive communication was provided about the backorder status, and they only acted when faced with the prospect of losing the sale. Even now, they haven't responded to my latest email from Tuesday requesting a full refund and cancellation. This reactive approach, coupled with their failure to ship promptly despite initial "in stock" assurances, reflects poorly on their reliability. I advise caution when ordering from GrowAce--better communication and accountability are sorely needed. Also for public information 247Garden.com has square 10.5x10.5x10.5 fabric pots read more

Stay away. Customer service is abysmal. Only way to reach a manager is through email and you play tag back and forth. You have to send multiple photos/videos to substantiate your broken item for warranty replacement. Still waiting for an item since April 1 and today is May 15!! Products are cheap, service is non existent. read more

The team that works at growace are so helpful! I had a few questions on a product and they were more than helpful! A guy named thomas worked with me, and he was great! (also very handsome) thanks growace team! read more

Earl was very responsive in my requests. We are growing hydroponic blueberries for the first time, and struggled with a few issues with our machine. Appears to work fine now read more

Horrible Company-Chinese Jun. Just read the reviews and decide. Owned by NICHE WEBSTORES INC . Pretending to be hydroponic specialists when they are really just eMarketer's selling low quality products with cheap parts and horrible support. read more

About 2 months ago, I order 3 LED grow panels. You would think when these people want to literally charge me $50 for shipping (which is even more hilarious because the "shipping" still took almost 1.5 weeks, so what the hell did i even pay for shipping wise?) I even ordered the same exact thing from a better seller and got free shipping mind you after NOT receiving this item through GrowAce. Here's where I get incredibly petty, and why I'm writing this review to begin with, and why I plan to make sure it is known that THIS COMPANY WILL IGNORE YOU. I filed a complaint about not receiving my order, was basically told that if I can't give them a full on police report (when I can't even verify that the package was stolen, I just havent received it), that nothing can be done. WHY THE HELL DO YOU CHARGE ME SHIPPING PROTECTION THEN? I literally cant even file a damn police report on it, as theres no proof anything was even stolen, or anything of that sort. So I talk with my post office, and they went out of their way even to reach out to the company themselves after my email asking Growace to talk with my post office, WAS IGNORED. I even put in a follow up email asking why I was being ignored, and guess what? IGNORED. You would think that with your stupid shipping protection to, that you'd be a bit more helpful in ANY way. But no. NEVER ORDERING HERE AGAIN. AND I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR GROW EQUIPMENT ANYWHERE BUT HERE, IF YOU DONT RECEIVE YOUR ITEMS, THEY DONT CARE. FIRST EXPERIENCE AND LAST. read more

Buyer Beware! Not a company you want to do business with. Ordered the EZ CO2 Homegrown on December 12, 2022. Received the shipment on December 29, 2022. It did not have an activator. Sent pictures to prove this. They stated a replacement would be sent. It is now January 12, 2023 no replacement has been received. They are refusing to refund my money and telling me to wait that it will be shipped this week. DO NOT ORDER from these people. Wish I looked them up on the BBB site before ordering. 49 complaints in the last 3 years. read more

Buyer Beware! We were attempting to place a larger order of 5-gallon plastic nursery pots, but experienced a "Bait & Switch" on the quanity, without any adjustment on the shipping. We added 100 nursery pots to our cart and the cost looked ok, but when clicking on "Buy It Now" the quanity changed from 100 to 1, but no change in the $44.75 charge for shipping (1 plastic nursery 5 gallon pot). We repeated our attempt, but "Place the Order" kept showing a total of more than $50 for ONE 5-gallon plastic nursery pot. read more

Wish I could give them zero stars. If you get something of poor quality or broken don't expect to be able to return the item unless you're going to pay shipping PLUS 15% restock fee. Penalizing the customer for your poor business practices, shame on you growace. read more

Horrible customer service. Sent me faulty products I was forced to make my reservoir work in a pinch. I had reached out to customer service and they were silent, so I replaced my reservoir unhappily and expensively and threw away the faulty one since customer service was not responding. Fast forward another week and customer service finally gets ahold of me to basically tell me that it's my problem not theirs. Horrible customer service and low quality products for the price point. Will not be a returning customer. Would give negative stars if I could, almost 1k wasted. read more

The people who work at growace are super helpful and nice! All my dealings with the Growace team has been pleasant and positive. If you are looking for a good deal on lights, go with the advanced spectrum brand and ask them for a discount. They can usually work it in! read more

The okie doke So I ordered the aircube 6 pot system with the intent of expanding it to 36 in the next year.. I paid for the larger 105 gallon reservoir. Well the sent me a cheaper brand off their website. When I called about the mistake, I was told they would reach out by email. So more bad customer service. They offered me a $30 store credit if I was willing to keep their mistake. Funny part about this is that the grow ace model retails for $199.00 and the knock off brand retails for $119.00 on their site. Seriously you call that great customer service. So you offer me $30.00 and there's a price difference of $90.00 your still ahead $60.00 and you want me to live with your mistake! Buyers beware! Well Jack way to put my info out there with the FedEx tracking number! Clearly you have a lot to learn about business and customer service! read more

Sold me a bad Ballast and they do everything possible to not cover it even though they sold me a defective product. Bad cotmpany!!! read more

If you like giving a company a bunch of your money then not getting everything you ordered, this is your place. You'll love them if you also like bogus excuses for why a product listed as "IN STOCK" is backordered (or so they'll say). You'll really love it if you like being told we'll have an answer for you right away then never hearing back from them. I've had a nightmare experience buying a grow kit from them. I cannot recommend them to anyone. read more

Alvin Seville did an excellent job answering my questions. Thank you for the excellent customer support.

Ordered nitrile powder free gloves. Received chemically toxic box from China. The gloves had powder in them, strong smell of chemicals. Could not read the box because it was in Chinese. Requested return label and refund. They flat out refused. Gloves costs me $19.95, plus $9.69 shipping. DO NOT order from this company unless you like having your money stolen. read more

All the ohter reviews are correct. Talk about a scam. They send damaged products in undamaged boxes. Strange how does that happen. Customer service is nonexistent and run you around. I wanted a refund and they shipped me a new product after saying the refund process started. Why should i lose 30% of my money off a defective product to send it back. Im going to contact californias AG office and file complants they need to be investigated. read more

This company sold me a product from Nu Aqua systems but never shipped the product. They are holding the money as long as possible and are currently resisting a refund at this time. I advise that this company has shown suspicious money-handling practices and is not trustworthy in my opinion. BEWARE ! read more

I purchased a hydro system second hand from craigslist. When I got home and hooked it up, I realized the controller was not working. I was able to call into growace and they were able to find me a replacement controller for my system so it was not a total loss. Although the cost of the new controller was almost as much as I paid for the system, I was happy that there was a solution. read more

Can we please start offering a ZERO Star review? I'm not even sure where to start. We received merchandise that was not operational - the component worked when plugged directly into an outlet, but not when plugged into the brains, which was plugged into an outlet. How do I know this? Because I read the Trouble Shooting Guide. We called in only to be told that we need to video tape the plugging and unplugging and then email it for support, which is available ONLY via email. I asked why I needed to video tape something that they themselves listed in the Trouble Shooting Guide and was told it was 'policy' and may be another known issue. So I asked what the other 'known issue' was and was told they can't tell me, it's 'policy'. So I asked to be transferred to Technical Support but you can't talk to them. Email only. Policy. So I asked for a manager ... sat on hold for 20 more minutes ... and was then told that a manager can't come on line. Policy. So I asked for a refund based upon a defective part. But I was denied because I would not provide a video of the issue. So I asked for a refund based upon the Refund Policy (which I also read) and was also denied because 'policy' is to request a refund via an email only. Sigh. So I did look at my email, which quoted 'policy' which basically encouraged me to walk away, I do believe. And I even Chatted on the website with someone who took yet another 20 minutes of my life away only to tell me she can't help me because of 'policy'. (Yes, asked why she even engaged if policy was not to ... her reply? To provide excellent customer service.) BTW, my perception of the chat was that since I phoned in with an issue, I CAN'T now ask for a refund under the refund policy because I already indicated that there was an issue. Um. So ... I must keep a defective product? I believe that to be correct. Unless, of course, I want to video tape the plugging / unplugging and work with a tech via email. In other words, I felt like I needed to work VERY HARD to retrieve my dollars that I foolishly chose to spend here. Personal opinion: this company intentionally places obstacles in the way of Customer Service to wear you down. That may work in the short term (how many walked away because of the hassle?) but I can't imagine repeat clients are the norm here. They should probably remain privately owned. Take the money while you can, Grow Ace. Take it while you can. Focus on the short term. That business acumen is paying off for sure. read more

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible customer service! Don't even try to call them, they are not excepting phone calls (at least right now). They are not reputable. Be careful. They will play games with you and dance around your questions and issues. Go look at them on the Better Business Bureau .... the have an F. Look at the reviews on their site .... make sure you change to show "lowest to highest". They have a lot of recent horrible reviews. I understand we were going through a pandemic, but if you can not handle your business during it, you should have stopped doing it till you could. I was trying to obtain nitrile gloves so my employees at our healthcare business were set to re open and have all their safety supplies. I couldn't get them anywhere, I found them here. It ended up just being a nightmare. They didn't ship till at least three weeks later. We had to obtain them elsewhere. I tried to cancel the order but they conveniently danced around that. Luckily I have all the endings saved sleuth proof of what transpired. You can't get in contact with them except through email so good luck. I would stay far far away from them if I were you. read more

Hello my name is Darryl Livingston and I brought the air cube active oxygen ebb and flow grow systems 6 site with a 60 gallon Reservoir I set up the system I put my plants in the system I was using Advanced Nutrients following the feeding schedule I set the system to fill a half an hour feel a half an hour drain my plants died in 4 to 5 days the system does not give enough oxygen to the plants but before I was going to say it was the system I plan it for more plants and they died also in 4 to 5 days when I call to ask them about how to operate their system they don't even know they have 2 call the warehouse and they don't even know you asked him to email you they take forever to email you if they can't help you they hang the phone call up on you I called about getting a refund they will not take the system back or give me credit I went to another system under current culture put the same plant in the system using the same nutrients Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and the plants are doing so good because they have air stones in each pot getting enough oxygen they say with their system that the plant gets oxygen when it drains not true the roots get dark and ugly and the plant dies I even asked him to let me know if someone know how to operate the system so my plants can stop dying and they could not help me so now the system is just sitting there going to try to sell it if someone wants to buy it but if they don't I understand read more

Still waiting on my complete package going on 11 months. I strongly suggest using someone else.

I just canceled an order with grow ace because I have been several days of not answering my emails. I made a purchase from them on priority shipping it has been now five days with no responses from this company. There are many more companies out there that can give much better service in this company can ever give and I will no longer order from them. If you have a time go ahead and waste your money. read more

When my package first came I was pleasantly suprised (april) because it came fast but when i wrote them sayin I'm missing a piece for my tent (that i was going to use as a drying tent) i get a automated message telling me it will take some time because of the whole covid thing which is understandable. I then write them again sayin it's been over a month and get the same message back again. Now its july (begining of may is when I told them about the missing piece) and still no word on in it besides the automated message... its literally one pole.... I had high hope's for using them out of convenience but after going though a bunch of reviews it seems I'm not the only one having the same type of problems... safe to say I'm probably not getting that one piece... I would have rather went down to the hydro store and paid the extra money at this point... read more

I've dealt with this company a few times online. They are not very honest and don't hold up to their own word. They also have really slow customer service through answering emails, its about the speed of normal snail mail. If it wasn't for "My USPS" I would have never been able to track one of my orders because after asking several times the information was never sent. This was all right after they sent my package to a wrong address... Their own. I do not recommend this company, find someone else. read more

GrowAce sold me nitrile gloves at an increased price (over 60%) at pandemic times. On top of that, they charged me $15,71 for Standard shipping (up to 5 days) but has been over two weeks and not even shipping yet. False advertisement, price gouging, they don't answer the phone and you get automated email responses. read more

This company is an all around scam. Avoid at all costs. Products ship out late and arrived damaged. You'll try to be refunded or exchange the product and they will hold your money hostage while implying it's your fault. read more

I ordered a grow tent on May 13th and have nothing but my emotions played with. On may 23 i first contacted growace regarding my purchase and was assurred from a Christian in chat that it was ready for fedex to pick it up and since the covid 19 things are behind. I had patience for a week meanwhile thinking they got me i ordered another 3 small items for another 8some dollars. A week later no reaponse and no tracking number. So i go again to chat since no one answers there telephone. This time it was Travis.. he tells me its not in stock and they are waiting. So 3 days later i ask if i could pick out a cheaper option or get a refund. Only generic answers. Dont get me wrong always polite but 100% liars. Now i am working with the BBB and with there F rating we dont have much hope. The gentleman at the bbb suggested i contact the attorny general and file a complaint. Btw i contacted fedex over the telephone and growace only created a label and did not request a pick up lol i can only be ammused now its all i can do from losing it. And to top it all off they have the audacity to email me and ask how i liked the product i purchased lol. Stay far away and check reviews before you buy. I didnt lesson learned. read more

This review is based solely on shipping services and operations. I placed an order for a 600W Lighting Kit. When it arrived, one of the reflector flaps was missing / not included. An obvious shipping / operational error that doomed my order before it ever left their warehouse. Also, when it arrive the 600W MH Bulb was broken. This could have potentially happened during shipping, but I doubt it because the product was well packed. This could have also been broken before shipment and wasn't reviewed before shipping. When I called to rectify the situation the customer service person was polite enough for sure. But, he had no authorization to expedite ship my missing and broken parts. I was told my replacement / missing pieces would be shipped the slow way...... even though all of this is their fault, their oversight, their sloppiness in operations and procedures. That's pretty shitty customer service from my perspective. No "step up" to fix a problem that is obviously theirs, and the inconvenience they've caused. Uuuugh..... read more

I will never order from this company again I decided to save a few dollars and went with grow ace light instead of its competitor. I ordered my product on May 6th order was processed on Monday, May 7th and made it to my house that Wednesday or Thursday, without the main parts to even use it(bulb, hangers,timer) and a dent in the reflector. Now today is Monday, May 14th and I've called them 8 times and still haven't received my parts that were missing in the box. I've called 3 times since Friday and was told my order has shipped and today I finally got a tracking number to see where it is at and usps is awaiting item still, all the information I have received has been a lie it shouldn't be hard to remember a bulb with a light if anything or get an order that was promised to me ASAP from a company located 2 hours away from me. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more
