    I don't think you should mince words like that. Say what you mean :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      Hey!! As I've set my filter to allow certain words I have got Fern's post in the original language, but the quote has translated it to 'moo poo'! How'd that happen :scratch:

        Possibly because when you quote it, the quote is open for everyone to see? :dunno:

          I have mostly given up on mail order companies, rarely happy with what I get. I do find JParkers good for bulbs though.

          Better off finding a nursery that offers delivery, get much better value for money and the plants are better too.

            If you had other plants/seeds in the same order, beware of T&M not refunding for defective stuff in full, as they will initially attempt to spread the voucher savings across the entire order so you wont get a full refund on the item. You need to get on their case and demand a full refund, especially if it's too late for replacements.

              Thanks @Scrungee - it was the only thing I ordered, and barring maybe seeds there is little likelihood of me ordering anything else from them now. I feel a bit stupid for giving them another chance to be honest

                Then, if you go for a refund, they will probably try and deduct the voucher value from any refund, meaning you would lose the voucher, or as you say they might offer another short dated voucher which will expire before the next growing season and also be subject to a further P&P charge.

                In that case, the refund would only be for the P&P, and barely worth it. I have a feeling that I am not going to hear back on this one for some reason :dunno:

                            Well, in fairness, I did get a call back today and a replacement is being sent out as a priority, so we shall wait and see if something that is actually alive arrives.
