    Couldn't believe the price of FBB on Amaz, don't know why it's so cheap £4 for 4kg, B&Q have the same on offer for £9! Wondering if there's a catch. Anyway thought I'd pass it on.

      Could be the price is a mistake. If so, I bought it in good faith... I'll argue the toss if necessary.

      Have you taken a screen shot of the offer? This could help you if they dispute the price.

        B&Q are often overpriced on some stuff but the £4 pack on amazon does seem extra cheap.
        How many packs did you buy.:biggrin:

            Maxicrop Seaweed extract is also cheaper on Amazon. I bought some last year, it's genuine :).

              Aldi and Lidl often have garden ferilisers and such like at good prices at this time of year.

                  Today 4kg of FBB was delivered for £4.00! I'm pretty sure the price was wrong, it's now gone up to £8.99.

                  Well done Westland for honouring the mistake, not that they had an option I think.

                    Some times amazon do cut price's but you have to watch them, they also can be more expenive as well, so do check other sites, camel camel camel is a price checker for amazon

                    I wanted 2 external hard drives the same at argos were £30 cheaper than amazon
