    Dunno Gogs. �£6 postage for rather ordinary plants doesn't look very free to me.

    Must say, I don't think it's too bad, especially if you order the shrubs and trees, all for the one delivery price.

    I couldn't see how much you could order, ie, in multiples of large items (assuming they are large and not "plug" size things). In fact, I got a weird thing of black lines down my screen when I went into delivery first time and locked up and had to shut down and start up again.

    For the most part, it looks good to me ... depending on the quantities and sizes you are allowed to order.

    I see there is a "sister" site ... this is probably where they make their money.

    It looks alright to me, but I would like to know the size of the plants I am buying.

    Oh they have a sister site. so this is where they sell the old rubbish off? I believe the old saying about free lunches holds here.

    Its a shame that FREE very seldom means FREE. There are quite a few companies nowadays. There always FREE goods but you need to pay for the P+P.

    Free + pay for P+P = Not FREE at all.

    Having used this site i found that the plants were of good quality and a decent size.

    Only paying P+P i would say this is rather cheap considering a plant in a p9 pot would cost at least �£2.95 from your 'local'garden centre. Getting 3 then makes this quite a good deal and they are fresh rather than the out of date and poorly maintained produce you find in a so called 'professional' enviroment.

    Any ways this is only my opinion but paying just the P+P still seems a good deal to me.....

    Don't get me wrong, Im not saying its not a good deal, everyone has diffrent views on these types of things. I just see free as not paying a penny for it. [​IMG]
