Topic: Complete short survey for £10 Thompson & Morgan voucher, free stuff using vouche

".....Whatever way you look at it 8 packets of seed for £1.95 postage isn't bad...."

I agree, which made me so surprised to receive yesterday a very light, small packet of the tiniest oca you can imagine (5), and no sign yet of the seeds. I had had to pay just under £7 for p&p! But the accompanying form said oca cost £0.00 and the P&P cost £0.00. It will be interesting to see what the form with the seed packets (2). Can they really charge me nearly £7 postage for what amounts to 3 packets of seeds?

pay £1.95 postage.

I ordered 6 packets of seeds and they only charged me £1.95 postage.  I would query the postage costs with them artichoke.   

[Ellen K]

T&M charge 1.95 postage on seeds and 4.95 for everything else.

So if you buy one plug plant and 1 packet of seeds, you pay 6.90 P&P.

But that is the maximum charge.  So if you buy a box of plug plants coming from Jersey, some raspberry canes dispatched from who knows where and a bag of seed potatoes, you pay 4.95 even though your order is sent as 3 separate parcels.

I've bought a lot from T&M but never again.  I used a Tesco Clubcard voucher towards buying seed potatoes and onion sets, order placed at the end of last year.  Harlequin potatoes substituted with PFA, even though they are still promo-ing Harlequin on their website.  Rosanna onions substituted with Red Baron received yesterday, when it is too late to find any other white onion sets in the shops.  They cant refund because too much time has elaspse since they took payment from my credit card though they gave me some b0ll0x about it being because of part payment with Tesco points.

Well dischuffed, trying Unwins next year.

**glad to have got that off mu chest**

A ten squid voucher??

Coo that was good. I'm sure I had only a £5 voucher but that was through the post.  :(

Free P&P if you spent over £50 - I should cocoa!!

So now, at last, I've twigged!  :-[

If only I had read the very first post, instead of hopping in halfway through, I would have realised where the £10 voucher actually came from in the first place.  ::)

[Borlotti]

It is so lovely to get a parcel of seeds, instead of the usual bills, or bank statement (overdrawn again).
I paid £1.95 postage, and got
Runner bean (white lady)
Mangetout
Climbing bean (Cobra)
Cosmos
Tomato (Sungold)
Radish
Lettuce
Carrot (fly away F1 hydrid)
Courgette
Spinach

and £40 off a case of wine (how do they know I drink), but have to spend £59.99 or more and pay £4.99 postage, so think I will give that a miss.

So a big thank you to the orginator of this, but I really must not buy any more seeds as will have to get another allotment.  ;D ;D ;D

They'll do nicely for next year or you could always swap them.  ;)

Never look a gift (?) horse in the mouth. I was never too sure where that saying came from.

[BarriedaleNick]

Well I got my onions and shallots!
Unfortunately they had to substitute the variety of shallots for another as they ran out.

So they send me a five pound gift voucher off my next order!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Thanks for the tip Cam.

I was very tempted to go for some foxgloves at that price for Mrs Plots as she loves them. But, when I mentioned it to her, she tells me a local nursery sells them for just over £1 each so by the time T&M's postage charge is added it's cheaper up the road.  :(

And there was me all set to add one or two extra things to the order.   :( ::)

[cambourne7]

But if your ordering already the postage is sort of already applied (that is if your buying other plants rather than just seeds :) )
