Expensive plant delivery charges?
« on: November 02, 2010, 12:50:26 »
Having priced up strawberry plants and raspberry canes I decided to order from Blackmoor nurseries instead of T&M.  I got to the checkout on-line to find that delivery was £10 for a £43 order.  One of the higher priced for delivery even though some of the stock was initially cheaper. 

I have still ordered but was wondering if these are now average prices?

If you order from T&M through the gardeners world site P&P is free ;D.

I had a similar shock when I wanted to buy a particular camellia.  The Duchy of Cornwall website was the worst: plant £8, p&p £15.  In the end, ordered it from RHS Wisley and had a nice day out picking it up.
