Seed Potatoes

I know that everyone has probably bought theirs already, but just in case, I'd really like to reccommend trying here- http://gardenbridgend.co.uk/store/http-//gardenbridgend-co-uk/store/seed-potatoes/cat-117-html/cat_117.html

I usually go to a potato day, but haven't managed this year, and found them doing a google search for my favourite variety Rudolph. Even though they didn't have the 135 varieties they were hoping for for me to choose from, I was spoilt for choice.
I ordered on Monday, had an email letting me know that they were on their way yesterday, and they arrived this morning. They were well packed, and now that I've googled a bit for more information on the varieties I bought, I see that the price is a bargain too, with most of them costing £1.60 a kilo. I bought (amongst others ;) ) 1kg of Salad Blue, and have 18 egg sized potatoes all with fat 1 inch tall chits

Killer postage rates though. :-(
£5.99 cheapest. (That was for 3kg), doubling the overall cost.

You're right, that is the problem with buying seed potatoes from any online store, and I should have added that the delivery cost was £7 (for up to 25kg). However my closest potato day is an hours drive from here, so I'd spend more than that in petrol. Also, if like me, you can't just stick to one or two varieties, then you might be paying just over £2 for a kilo....I think I need to find some black buckets
