Title: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: mat on February 18, 2009, 11:04:26: I have found (via luck) the following:

Use the following T&M link http://www.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/gwm.html - this is the gardeners world link. You do not need to buy anything from here (though there are a few good "free" offers e.g. seeds and raspberries) but by using this T&M link you get free P&P

Then when you have something in your "basket" add the discount code given out with all their catalogues ZA-ZMGA-ZATA (you need to include the - signs) this gives you £5 off...

This combination gives you both free P&P and £5 off ;D

Not sure when they will close this loop hole, but its there at the moment ;D

note, you will lose the option of their free begonias with any order by using the gwm link, but I did one order for the begonias and the rest without as I didn't want many beginias!)

Post by: lottieholder on February 18, 2009, 11:46:04: Grrr - looks like they are changing it... but its weird... as the gwm link is not even providing free P&P and the web page states it will...
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: ceres on February 18, 2009, 11:49:07: The checkout page says something like you can only have one discount in operation at any one time so I suppose you either get the free P&P or the £5 but not both.
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: mat on February 18, 2009, 11:55:36: Its still working for me; both are applied... I don't understand why it doesn't work for you guys...

You must go to the gwm link below before adding anything to the basket and use the links from this page on the left to navigate round the rest of the site

edit - okay, here's a screenprint example. the tree lily is just an example, its not part of the gwm offers

Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: ceres on February 18, 2009, 20:18:39: Figured it out. The free P&P only applies to plants not seeds. But you can still get the £5 discount off a seed order.
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: mat on February 18, 2009, 21:00:01: Ahh, great; thanks... so it may still help some of you (if you want plants!)

thought I was going mad... or I was about to ask my laptop to win the lottery for me ;)

Post by: ceres on February 18, 2009, 23:16:53: Yes, thanks mat. Wanted seeds anyway so got £5 off the order.
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: Pink Fingers on February 20, 2009, 10:15:52: ... and if you have more than one email address you may be able to use both offers ? (unless they register you by home address)

Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: Tee Gee on February 24, 2009, 19:27:13: I find T&M expensive and gimmicky, and I very rarely use them.

Usually its for things I really want and can't get elsewhere this is how I found that much of their produce is out-sourced! Guernsey comes to mind (VAT free to them but not to us)

I recall years ago p&p was free, then they upped it to £3-95

I don't think that went down well so they upped it to £4-95 and gave you a voucher for £5 so basically they are back to inclusive p&p

Or am I being too cynical?

and the number of catalogues they send out once they get your address is phenominal. I think last year I received about 5 or 6 sets of catalogues I've had two already this year and its still February.

Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: dtw on February 25, 2009, 09:38:18: I got charged £1.99 for the 'free' seeds and £3.95 for postage, but I did get the £5 off.
I also ordered 5 goji berry plug plants for £9.99.

The grand total was £10.93

Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: hellohelenhere on March 03, 2009, 22:06:57: Gardenaction had this to say about T&M in a small survey they did on seed prices:
'Although the range of seeds on offer is very good, their prices are
easily the highest of the seed companies.
In addition the charge for posting and packing is the highest of all.'

Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: mat on March 03, 2009, 22:12:39: Oh, I am sure they are, but with free P&P and/or £5 off, surely this is a bargain!!!
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: ceres on March 03, 2009, 22:27:35: I placed 4 orders one after the other using combinations of the free p&P, £5 off and pay postage only offers. I spent the grand sum of £7.13 and got 5 packets of seeds, 25 bluebells in the green, 5 giant trailing fuschias + fuschia feed + fuschia care dvd, 3 Autumn Bliss raspbery canes. Bargain!

Post by: mat on March 04, 2009, 08:32:57: exactly... I have about 18 raspberries coming... all for less than £3... and a lot of other things...

I consider it a bargain ;D

You will find the items all come individually over a long time... my poor postman brings something every day almost... its getting a joke! luckily I am in the country, so he has his van to bring them!!!
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: cjb02 on March 06, 2009, 09:02:00: Thanks Mat. just bought a goji berry plant. £3.99 delivered which I didnt think was bad. Unless any one on here knows different of course. ;D
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: Mushy Pea on March 24, 2009, 18:18:15: Thanks again Mat.

This offer is still working. Just ordered a "free" patio potato growing kit and included 5 free packs of seeds.

And Ceres' fuschia's and some petunias and.....

All taking into Ceres's technique of ordering several orders with various combinations of offers.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm afraid I don;t know why a few people cannot get this to work... it worked for me many times, despite me being registered. it is imprtant to initially go to the GW link as in my initial instructions

My things are arriving (very) slowly. the seeds only arrived 2 days ago. the raspberries all arrived in good condition (I had 18 altogether in 6 orders!) if they are short its not a problem, as you need to cut them down to ground as soon as they start showing signs of growth.
Title: Re: T&M (free P&P AND £5 off)
Post by: Mushy Pea on March 26, 2009, 19:24:30: I think Mat is right. If you just go through the link to the GW offers then it works but if you browse elsewhere then the P&P goes on.

Some of the offers are "just P&P" so if you use the £5 code you can still get the offer for very little.

Happy shopping.

;D
