Just got a notification from Blackmoor of their end of season strawberry sale - every variety half price, they say.

I was wondering the same and although not definitive, this may give you some idea of their delivery rates:

£2.50 - £5.50...hmm.. :-\ + £4 for the plants..
I just ordered 10 bare rooted red gauntlet strawberry plants from Ebay seller (nursery) for £7.00 and that included postage.
They arrived very quickly and all in good condition... ;D
Oh dear! I was consigning strawberry runners to the compost today!
This morning I was doing a bit of tidying up in and around my strawberry bed including removing rooted runners, and as I had planned on replacing half of the stock at the end of this season by taking fresh runners, I decided to pot these runners up.
I was able to pot up around 90 of them into 4" pots. ( so in commercial terms I have saved myself around sixty quid)
By potting these runners up, it means I won't need to root any new runners, and hopefully, I will have plenty established plants to put in come October, meaning I should get a good crop off them next year.
As I see it; these will be 2nd year plants, as opposed to 1st year this time next year.
