Hi All...

Just wanted to let you know that my local Dobbies Garden Centre were selling bags of 12 potato tubers reduced to 50p each! and absolute bargin.. I picked up the following variaties : -

Vale's Everest (Maincrop)
Lady Balfour (Maincrop)
International Kidney (a.k.a.Jersey Royal)

Might be a worthwhile trip if you have one locally

No room, no room!

Just ordered the "free" spuds here (they come with  grow bags and 5 packets of veg seeds) and the toms offer at the same price. Only pay 3.99 P&P per offer

Can't find the free offer - where is it please?

[northfifeduckling]

the Tomatos is the first top left and the potatoes are on the 3rd line on the very right

[doganjo]

I must be going blind - bloomin obvious once you know where to look!  Thank you!

[sellickbhoy]

i couldn't find it either!!! DOH!!

I've just placed my order for the spuds, toms and raspberries!!

good thing about the spub planters is that you can get a good early start as well as a late harvest too.

I already had 3 planters - might get some friends to also place an order for me!!!

[sellickbhoy]

hmmmm, a wee scam from the good people at Thomson and Morgan - or is it an honest mistake???

i placed my order for my "free" plants - on the understanding i'd be paying the post and packing.

however, at the bottom of my order, i have been charged an additional £3.95 for post and packing.

annoyed email sent to the customer care team, but i advise you all to check your orders and make sure you haven't been charged incorrectly

[doganjo]

Perhaps you misread it?  You are charged for the items then underneath there is a discount amount equalling that, then the p & p of £3.95 viz

Weird, maybe a blip in their programme.  Sure you'll get it sorted out - they're a reputable company.  Unlike me last year.  Ordered a conservatory from ConservatoryLand, then changed my mind by email - before my letter could have arrived.  It took a lot of persuasion from my lawyer to get my deposit back.  And they were breaking the law due to the legal cooling off period.

i've ordered too. Lets see what happens.

i've always had a good service from them.

[northfifeduckling]

I had to try twice but it was ok once I went through the gardeners world offer link. A few other people complained about the problem on the grow-your-own forum. Hope you all get it sorted and only pay the P&P!

[sellickbhoy]

they still haven't replied - i am not amused!

[doganjo]

Has the payment gone through?  If not can you perhaps stop it?
