Thanks for all your replies  i thought it was to early but when i saw them in the garden center
i assumed it would be ok to plant them. If in 4 or 5 weeks they are not looking healthy i will pull them out and replant new ones and a lesson learned.

thanks

Sian

[Higster]

I bought some onion and shallot sets recently...I gather from the above it's OK to plant the shallots now, how's best to store the onion sets for the next couple of months?

[Son of Steptoe]

I'd keep em in a frost free shed away from light as they will start to sprout if kept warm.

Shove them in your fridge.

Shove them in your fridge.

But make sure they're properly labelled or you'll go and eat them accidentally!

I remember the year my daughter peeled my seed spuds and mashed them!

Yes, but only when she wants money.
