Not a 0845 number and they even phoned me back as I had to put the phone down half way through. £4 would still work out cheaper for 4 mags  ;)

Got to ask a question thats been nagging in the back of my mind, when they asked if I wanted three extra copies for a pound each they didn't want my credit card number they wanted bank account details which I and OH  found strange is it me or does it sound strange.   ;D ;D ;D

Cornykev, it is to set up a direct debit on the assumption that you will forget to cancel your subscription later.  Easy to cancel online once the £1 has gone.  A lot more hassle to stop them from helping themselves to £8 or so from your credit card to cover the next quarters subscription.
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Rosyred on August 28, 2007, 21:18:18
You can cancel your DD with your bank not to pay them again. It is hassle and I never usually do it but I would kick myself if I didn't have a go when everyone said it was easy.

I'm still waiting too................. :(

Post by: twinkletoes on September 04, 2007, 10:43:29
I've just ordered my freebie and signed up for the £1 bit too.  Don't mind going on to the £8 per month after that as it'll still be cheaper and I won't have to go to the shop for it - it'll land on the mat.  Said I would get it in 3 weeks time - ie. not the 7th September edition - the next one and I should get it before it goes on sale in the shops (whenever that will be).

Post by: Lauren S on September 10, 2007, 11:26:40
Just ordered mine too.  ;)
Glad it's being posted to my home address, as I kept forgetting to go and pick it up from newsagents and when I DID remember they had sold out.
Oooops  ;D

I called them today to check what was happening and they said to give it another week
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Rosyred on September 11, 2007, 10:34:07
A very unhelpful girl told me it takes 6-8 weeks so i'll have to wait a bit longer. I wanted them to just check I was going to be sent one. :(

Oh my my, you have been waiting along time.
If another week goes by, perhaps give them a call/email.  ::)

Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: caroline7758 on October 06, 2007, 18:21:13
It'll be at least a week now, with the postal strike. :(
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Tora on October 07, 2007, 16:36:30
I've been waiting for a long time too. :-\ GYO sent me a letter a few weeks ago saying I will receive a copy of November issue, which was supposed to be out on 5th or 6th this month. I should think we will receive a copy after the postal strike. We will enjoy it even more after all this waiting game, I'm sure! ;D
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: mc55 on October 10, 2007, 19:01:43
well it has finally arrived - November edition.  Going to put my feet up now and enjoy it. Hope everyone else's arrives soon.
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag

Since I signed up for the mags I have had two editions.
Lucky me  ;D

Post by: caroline7758 on October 11, 2007, 10:13:58
Got my second one today. can see it's going to be tough making myself cancel the direct debit when the time comes!
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Barnowl on October 11, 2007, 11:09:13
Still waiting ???
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Tora on October 11, 2007, 11:52:31
Got mine yesterday as well. Barnowl, you might want to contact them if it doesn't turn up today. :-\

I enjoyed the mag but I felt Kitchen Garden Magazine is better, which I used to buy a few years ago.

Post by: little-weed on October 11, 2007, 15:24:53
Mine has just arrived today at long last but worth the Waite I look forward to the next three

hmm, I got November edition twice ... do you think that will count as one of my 3 for £1.00 ??? and they sent both copies to the wrong house number.  Did anyone else get confirmation in writing of the direct debit stuff ?

nope, just got my third copy, will wait and see for a couple of days, might be stuck in the post
I'd e mail them about the double issue and about the mistake in address in case they've sent your dd details to the wrong address  :)

First copy finally arrived at the w.e.  :)

Post by: pammiep on October 15, 2007, 15:02:49
I never received anything so rang up and complainted; they said there was no record of my details.  They did say though I could still have offer and I received the November copy a couple of weeks ago.  Plus I particularly wanted the October copy and they are sending me that as part of my 3. I did get a letter saying when dd would come out of my account. pammiep
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Tin Shed on October 15, 2007, 15:10:21
Have just received my second free copy as well as the letter detailing the direct debit details. Am I the only one ?!!

I can tell I'm going to be grey by the time my subscriptions runs out.  Last week when I called they gave me a number to ring - young girl answered, gave her the spiel, she said she'd need to get her manager ... manager came on the line, gave her the spiel ... silence.  Turned out the number they gave me was for a hairdressers salon.  Oh, did we laugh  ::)

Called today and explained I'm moving and want to check address details as they seem to be wrong and mail redirection will not work, also changed bank account - have they received new dd details.  Told I have to talk to customer services ... transferred .. automated voice on line saying I've dialed the wrong number and will be transferred ... (again) ... lady answers, give the spiel - turns out I'm talking to the 'old' subscription help line and I need to talk to the 'new' subscription helpline.  Of course  ::)  Take another number, finally talk to a very young sounding chap, who confirms 'yep, we've got the wrong address' (great!) and 'no, we've got a different account' and 'you should have received a copy of the details in the post ...'  'maybe it went to the wrong addres??' ...'oh yeah ... I'll resend them'

... oh my  ::)

Sorry to bring this topic up after such a long time!

I wanted to ask a question about this offer; did the offer include 4 issues or 3?  ??? I paid 1 pound by Direct Debit. Got 4 issues already and I'm worried it may be too late to cancel the subscription. :-\

Sounds right to me
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: mc55 on January 15, 2008, 19:01:20
yes it was just three ... I was too late to cancel the dd and it went out mid-December.  £8.95ish I think
Title: Re: Free Grow your own mag
Post by: Tora on January 17, 2008, 11:25:18
Thanks everyone!

That means I'm stuck with Grow your own for the next 3 months, right?

By the way, I got loads of seed/plant catalogues in the last few weeks and one of them had a leaflet of Kitchen garden magazine offer - 3 issues for 1 pound. ;D Looks like I will be getting two gardening mags next 3 months. :D

You can take the Kitchen garden magazine offer by calling 01507 529529, quoting 2009. :)
