Free Seed Potatoes
« on: March 07, 2009, 08:34:02 »
Seen on another site. If posted before apologies. Cost free, postage at the end is also free. You have to give credit card details. Not sure why it's all free but I've given it a try and it's accepted order for 0 pennies. Might be worth a try 10 seed pots, new hunter variety 2nd earlies. Heres the link http://www.mr-fothergills.co.uk/catalogue/product/14930/

Ta 4 that, bit of a weird one-off one. Can't resist a freebie though.

im a bit concerned about a site that asks for your credit card details for something FREE !!!
If it ain't broke don't fix it !!

 Yes i agree about C C details, why on earth would they want your details for a freebie.  I have applied for freebies no postage either, never been asked for C C before.  No go area for me i am afraid.

the cc details prove that you are who you say you are, that the address they are sending them to is yours

thanks. just ordered mine.

I have bought from Fothergills before (so they already have my CC details anyway). I think that is their automated checkout process for paying for seeds but in this case they are free.

Great find for sure.
