    Be wary of obtaining seeds from Thailand John the ones I got off a company trading on e-bay were not what they should have been.

    Quite agree Eric. So far I've been lucky and these were less than �£2 including shipping. For that sort of thing I risk it.

    Hi! Anyone from Liverpool out there? How's your postal delivery at the moment? Only asking 'cos I sent son a parcel 11 days ago, just after the strike ended and he hasn't got it yet. I sent it recorded delivery but, apparently, I can't track it until it has been delivered [​IMG] [​IMG]

    RM won't let you report anything as missing before 15 days normally and at the moment they are saying to give it longer because of the strike.

    I'm in next town to Walnut, so again, close to Liverpool. I've had no problems with my mail. Seeds from America took a week.

    Just had a PM today from another GC member who has just received the seedlings posted on the 15th - 15 days. 60 miles away. Seems like the north-west is doing better than the north-east. I posted just one yesterday. Can't wait to see how long it will take to travel to the south coast.

    We cracked the one going south. It took one day to go 300 miles. Maybe RM is getting back to normal.


    That is TOTALLY unpredictable.
