Ahhh, but you have to chuckle about T&M - they send you a surprise, you complain, they send you a voucher, you spend it and they send you another surprise and so on... I have no idea how T&M are still in business! I wasn't sure about the relevance of the explanation either Jilly What was most amazing was that she had no reception until I mentioned the resolution centre and then suddenly she did have some. The reception in North Wales must be good like that!

Jasmine it's very interesting as you say, that she only got reception when you mentioned the resolution centre. Being a single mum is par for the course nowadays for a lot of folk and I don't see how it's relevant either. She should send you a little something extra too.

I'm wondering how she has 100% positive feedback Ladygardener. Oh well, life is too short to be worrying about a missing verbascum. You live and learn don't you and we know enough about good and bad companies between us to just stick with the reliable companies.

Well yes Jasmine but It does take up a lot of your mental time and emotion does'nt it.

Very true Ladygardener and we have enough to do without dealing with stuff we shouldn't have to be doing.

Surprise, surprise! I got my missing Verbascum Lavender Lass this morning and an extra plant although there is no mention to it being included - Verbascum flush of white.

Well, actually I'd already sort of mentioned that Jilly!

Ah ha good thinking Jasmine, I've had a very nice day looking at all of the on line nurseries on e-bay, I haven't bought anything yet, mainly because I couldn't make up my mind at Stephen Roff, I think I want most of it, my basket was up to about £50 at one point , think I might have to whittle that down a bit before I do a proper order.

You didn't get an Easter egg either did you Jilly so you deserve some plants too!

Glad to hear you got your missing plant Jasmine and a little extra thrown in. Flush of White is beautiful, is'nt that the one you gave me some time ago. Unfortunately it died after it gave wonderful blooms for me. Oh and Jilly I think you deserve a little extra order to make up for not having an Easter egg.

It looks similar doesn't it Ladygardener? Mine both flowered beautifully last year (along with those alien looking caterpillars) but I was looking yesterday and they don't seem to have made it through winter. I think it said a second year of flowers would be a bonus.

I was just googling Shasta crazy daisy to see how high it grew and I found another Ebay seed seller that I've used...

I did a big order with Stephen Roff this morning and am still waiting for a recalculated invoice from him. I wonder if I've done something wrong

Post by Auricula on Apr 10, 2013 17:24:22 GMT
E mail him ?

Or just drive round there!

I've emailed - we'll see what he says.

Forgot to say... I got my hostas from Stephen Roff within 36hrs of ordering and they look to be good sturdy plants Did you hear from him Jasmine he has recalculated my postage ( sounds a bit rude ) twice, with no problems

Post by Jasmine on Apr 14, 2013 12:11:49 GMT
No, I haven't heard a word from him Auricula about P+P recalculations or whether my plants have been dispatched. I guess he wouldn't post them close to the w/e in case they get stuck in the system. He was so quick to email when I was having trouble with getting my order through though. He used to have the most amazing selection of Heuchera but now he only has 2 on offer. I've ordered some lovely things though and they weren't dear.

My order has been dispatched Can't wait for it to get here. It's coming by courier - hope no one has to sign for it.

Yodel brought my Stephen Roff parcel at 8p.m. - the van driver said he didn't like going back to base with any parcels! Stephen put 2 francoas in the parcel as they don't look their best at the moment but you can see new shoots at the base. I hadn't heard anything about P+P deductions but when I checked Paypal he'd refunded £12 of the £19 P+P. I am off to leave him some lovely feedback!

That's good news Jasmine I wondered if he'd refund the P&P hope they all do well for you. Is he on ebay ?

Thats odd, I've just lost a complete post , as I thought I'd just said Auricula, I was having another look at Stephen Roffs nursery yesterday, I've now got a shortlist, haven't ordered anything yet as everytime I get round to doing it something comes up at work, a good thing really as I think the list needs to be considerably shorter

Well I must admit I've never ordered from e bay before & I'm a bit confused about the recalculation of postage bit , however I have got a £5 voucher to spend on any e-bay purchase, perhaps I'll get around to it today.

It's a safe way of doing business Jilly but I'm no expert. I must check out Stephen Roff website.
