Post by: jockomorrocco on January 19, 2008, 07:18:38: i dont want to throw a spanner in the works but on the page where you give your details you have to choose a postage option , seeds are 95p but potatoes and fruit are £2.95 . Or have i got it wrong (again)

They are called loss leaders and supermarkets do it all the time. If you are like me, you feel guilty just ordering the potatoes and order some seed too. I order Danvers Half Long Carrots and some spring onion seed with mine.

Nothing here neither except letter of confirmation. What a good scam with all these 95p added together...... ::) :-\ ::) :-\ ::)
Title: Re: Free potatoes, only 95 P and P.
Post by: bupster on January 28, 2008, 23:11:30: Hardly a scam. Most seed companies send the letter out before the bulk orders.

I also got an Advice Note today, states dispatch as 24/1/2008. The 95p was taken on the 25th (Friday).
Title: Re: Free potatoes, only 95 P and P.

If you ordered anything else the postage was higher.

Title: Re: Free potatoes, only 95 P and P.
Post by: Pesky Wabbit on February 14, 2008, 17:48:38: I too received a catalogue today, and a letter thanking me for my order, but I think the letter (and catalogue) are sent out to anyone who has previously placed an order, ... any order.

I'm not a bit worried - I ordered, they took the money, I received an advice note - no where has it mentioned any conditions, ie 6Kg of seed pots.

On the advise note it does state dispatch as 24/01/2008. Still waiting.

I got three packets of spuds, all mailed seperately, and all to me at my address.

Why?

Post by: redimp on February 27, 2008, 22:49:14: Could I just add a very big thank you to DT Browns for what has been a fantastic offer and with almost everybody (I hope) now satisfied. I would like to add that this is the company (along with Seeds of Distinction) that my Dad uses most and he swears by the quality of their seeds. I don't use them so much because I tend to buy from GC's etc but I did add a seed order to my potato order cos I personally thought it diplomatic to do so.

Post by: cornykev on February 28, 2008, 16:24:17: Three cheers for DT Browns and Springbok. ;D ;D ;D
