Title: potatoes thomson and morgan. Where the blazes are they??
Post by: strawberry1 on February 01, 2014, 13:31:48
They have changed the delivery goalposts twice now and still no sign of them. I am not impressed. I want to get then started. Anyone else?

I ordered some Charlotte tatties from them I think when they did a free postage probably before Christmas. They arrived a couple of weeks ago. Last year when I ordered some of the Sarpo varieties and a couple of others from them it was more of a disaster, several subs and sent in a couple of lots.

Hi I think it depends what and when you ordered - bought casablanca on 26th nov last year and they came a couple of weeks ago. They have their various suppliers send to you direct and last year when I chased I ended up with 2 lots. But it would be good to be chitting now or next week even if that may not be essential.

Hi Strawberry,

I had same trouble with T&M with all things strawberries, they change the delivery date 3 times also ordered 5 pkts of seeds, they got them wrong and had to send out the replacement at their expense.

Said, I would not use them again for mail order.

As a side question, how much did you pay for your spuds if you don't mind me asking and the delivery charge.

Digmore.  :wave:

Ordered our spuds from JB Seed potatoes, Tattieman from there is on here, , did it october, selected the week we wanted them, we got them on the friday of that week

All good :)

The only thing that might have delayed our order would have been frost but i dot recall seeing that really this year...........

Most of my tatties come from Jba through the potato day. They are always good spuds. I just ordered Mayan gold from T & M as the only place you can get them and they were recommended to me. They came about two weeks ago.

Still waiting for our potatoes, onions and shallots from T and M although did not order them until after Christmas. Last year had problems with order came late and sent wrong potatoes. The only reason we were using them again were for santero onions which when we placed order were told could not have these and for sarpo mira which again they did not have so next year will order else where.

Does anyone know whether you can get santero onions else where?

grhh I ordered them last AUGUST and they have all been despatched so none left of the variety I ordered. They are sending a sub but not until the end of february. I am fuming and will never order from T and M again. They are a carp company

Gregme

Thank you

I used santero onion sets for first time last year- recomended by someone on our site as resistant to downey mildew.
