Premier Seeds Direct on fleabay for me (think they're on Amazon too).  :)

Premier seeds on amazon

Do not touch midland seed company on amazon, two failed orders left me out of pocket, have an amazon claim in currently which the seller won't even answer amazon about. His feedback was ok but just lately it's been awful.

Was I allowed to name and shame. Don't want other people out of pocket.  :wacko:

erm.....I'm a 'bit' of a seedaholic and I like looking for unusual things. So I've made a list of suppliers from threads on this forum and my own trial and error, which is here:

Please don't judge me, I'm getting help...!  :unsure:

If you need seed in quantity, you will be very hard pressed to beat Moles for price:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

i've been using moles and they've all been spot on. after all if they're good enough for commercial growers they're good enough for me.

i have also had a few packets from premier seeds on ebay and they've been pretty good, especially for the money.

Always name and shame. If companies are going to mess you around, that's the risk they take.

On the other hand, I reckon Premier are going to be doing alright after this thread. It works both ways!

Also - I needed a couple of last minute seed varieties last month and they were with me in less than 24 hours!

We are discouraged on here about naming and shaming because we don't want to risk the site owners getting into bother, but telling about good companies is encouraged!  So I 2nd or 3rd.......

PREMIER SEEDS!!  Their Ebay P&P is cheaper than on Amazon, but good quick and polite service!  And good seeds too!   ;) ;)

There is no such thing as postage on Moles Seeds, as far as the small seed is concerned, only for the bulkier items.

That's good to know DD, thank you.   :)  I may just have a quick squint for some of my 'staples'... ::) :D

I see. It's a shame if we can't share our experiences but I imagine that's an argument for another place!

Just don't buy 3000 parsnip seeds Auntie!   :lol: :lol:

Yes I do agree Steve, but some of these forums and websites belong to big companies who can afford the legal fees if someone tries to sue for defamation of character!   ;)
