Title: Ordering from Association Kokopelli?
Post by: Jayb on January 03, 2012, 09:16:59
I'm just wondering if anyone has placed a seed order with Kokopelli recently? I wanted to order a couple of items but the shipping charge they want France to UK  is 34.13 Euros  :o On your bike!

My goodness, surely it's a checkout software error? Maybe worth asking them ?

Maybe they're getting in early for us apparently being a country of Eurosceptics?!

Don't they have their UK agent anymore?  Admittedly my orders were a few years ago, but they were always dealt with by a UK agent and the postage charge was normal.  We do have members on here who are living in France and could perhaps help out if the UK agency no longer exists.

I've just had a look at their site, as I had not heard of them anyway.

The postage comes up at 12.69 euros to UK.

What have you tried to order?

Just spotted it, it is a checkout error.

For your country select 'The United Kingdom' rather than 'United Kingdom'

Yes, the UK agency part doesn't seems to be in place anymore.

Thanks Crispy  ;D Although 12.69 euros is still a lot.

They have some interesting seeds of things that I've never grown, but I think a lot of the descriptions are inadequate to decide whether it's worthwhile to try.

Jayb well given the higher taxes ,there fee increases in Greece due to austerity from debt crisis; a higher shipping  cost should be expected.

The costs being quoted are massive in comparison with normal postage, and what's Greece got to do with it?

John85, I missed your reply until now. Thank you so much for your kind offer but I decided not to buy from them this time  :) But if you are ever stuck for something this side of the pond or wanting to swap seeds, let me know   ;D
