Free postage & packing
« on: March 10, 2015, 09:50 »
Hi all,
I have looked but can't find, I'm probably not posting this in the right place either  :unsure:

Is there a topic where members can give a "heads up" to companies that are offering free p&p or similar offers, compost, tools etc.

I often want to buy small quantities of seeds because we only have a small garden.

I go to the usual sites but end up not buying because the p&p makes it too expensive.

I do notice, however that these sites do sometimes have a special "Free p&p" offer irrespective of how much you spend, usually just for seeds, not plants.

Is there a "special offers" forum on this site where we can post anything of interest, or is it all just up to the individual to make a seperate post every time, for every offer?

Would it be an idea to start such a forum, or aren't offers frequent enough to warrent one?

Any thoughts

Br

There is such a board on the forum, and your post is now in it!  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

OK, thanks Jay.

I guess it's down to individual posts then, on specific items.

As you say, special offers tend to have quite limited lifespans, so a new thread for each one does the job of bringing it to people's attention without hanging around forever.

We're always happy to consider new ideas though!  ;)

Premier Seeds Direct (ebay) are very good, and have a smaller packet range with free postage.  Even when ordering the larger packets you only pay postage for the first item ordered.  :)

I'd imagine there will be a few coming up over Easter with seed companies wanting to get rid of bare-rooted trees and spud stocks.
