Your best bet will probably be a large garden centre like wyvale or online suppliers like T&M.

Also have a look at this thread, which contains some further suggestions and a link to another thread.

So where do we get reasonable priced seed pots delivered?

If by reasonable you mean the same price as spring planted ones - you won't!

I was expecting the answer to where do I get potatoes to be delivered as HOME!

But seriously where should I buy seed potatoes if I dont live next to the nursery?

You'll only get them via post from the merchants as mentioned before. It's not so much the postage that puts the price up, but the cost of the specialised treatment these spuds undergo.

Mash & roast for me at Christmas is fine!
