Anyone used this seed company?
« on: October 31, 2010, 09:44:09 »
vegetableseeds.net

I've just been contacted by them with an offer to our members. The site looks good, but I don't want to recommend them unless I know they're OK.

Any experiences?

I think they were previously known as SeedDirect.co.uk, I'm not sure why they changed their name.
I have ordered from them in the past and from what I remember all was ok.

If it's seedsdirect then I too have used them & they were fine.

Thanks. I've never used SeedDirect, but have heard of them. And if you search for seeddirect.co.uk you get through to the website of vegetableseeds.net

Perhaps someone can let us into the secret of why the name has been changed?

I had an email about the off from them too Trevor.  They seem ok and the 10% discount and free postage may attract people.

Betty, I've just sent my members a round robin email telling them about the scheme. I've asked anyone who orders from them to send me some feedback. Watch this space?

Good idea Trevor, I might do the same.  The only problem might be that we have just completed the Kings order but I suppose there are always seeds that people forget to order.

Exactly!
Even though I put the notice up about two months in advance, we still get people bringing the order the day after the deadline.
