Retailer Feedback

We do very little eCommerce these day. All the projects have been taken over by Marketing departments, where they used to be IT, so now it is all about pixel-perfect design, and when we point out that the shopping experience is rubbish / doesn't work its very hard to get any traction at all; in...

Anyone else buy from here? They have a very good selection of rooted plants, the ones I received last year were a nice size and very healthy so I have just ordered some more.Val

Of all the couriers I have used . Hermes is the best. Could it be because our driver is a Woman? if she gets no reply she has the nouse to put parcels in the shed with out being told, those ones that don't need a signature.

FWIW many of the seeds I buy are in packets of "enough seeds to grow some plants" (rather than a crop!) and assuming they aren't incredibly rare then the packet price is £1.50-ish regardless. I buy lots of seeds with 5 or 10 seeds (packet price stays the same), and very few non-standard things...

To add insult to injury one was snapped off at the base, had already had a telephone conversation, and, sent a very strongly worded email.

Very pretty!!

Van Meuwen has refunded the cost of my two diseased trees plus the one they failed to send. my summer bulbs miraculously turned up the next day. hurrah . To replace my Van Meuwen order I ordered three replacement fruit trees from gardens4you on the Thursday before bank holiday and they turned up...

One of my local indies is as cheap as chips and it doesn't sell place mats. Or potpourri. or chimineas. Or over-priced jam. Or children's books. Or sponge cakes. I could go on. But I won't.

Use code TWBP15YZ in the Order Code box. I've used it as detailed here

Thanks Derbyshire.

Looks a lot more competitive now, especially http://www.simplygro.co.uk/compact-courgette-4174-p.asp Compact plants are not only suitable for small raised beds and containers, but also for planting in smaller poly tunnels. P.S. The £1.99 P&P still remains rather high compared to other seed...

I use a mixture of suppliers, but I do like Simply Seed, good delivery and very reasonable prices I think.GG

Premier also sell on Amazon, but P&P is 80p there, rather than 49p on ebay, but still cheaper than T&M's £1.95. And although T&M have P&P free promotions, they now do this by means of a code which can't be used in conjunction with other offer codes, so the good old days of getting promotional...

You didn't used to work for the CIA did you, Loofah???

I had lovely strong plants from here, personal service, we had lots of email exchanges, always answered very promptly, and all growing away strongly..

That's one of the reasons they are in Jersey

Just wanted to say how impressed I am constantly with this business. It's local to me which obviously helps but their own products, prices and services are just brilliant. If you're close to them then definitely give them a look. No, I am not affiliated with them!

I've never failed to get a response from a company when they receive a summons through the Small Claims Court Correction to above:- one of the largest power companies ignored the summons so I got judgement and sent the bailiffs into their head office. That got a response!

Might be better to have separate threads for each supplier ... easier for folk to comment on them then, and perhaps a more useful resource longer term? If the supplier is already in the Directory:then a comment there would centralise any feedback (good or bad ) I have had Penstemon...

They have some rare Tricyrtis too, hence my familiarity with them.
