CLOSED: FYIThompson & Morgan .99 sale

http://www.tmseeds.com/ilist/sale.html%20/

Sale ends July 16th. Mix of annuals, perennials and veggies. Shipping is a bit steep but if you have a current catalog there might be an Offer Code in a yellow box on the back cover. I entered the number on mine into the online order form and it took off $5. I ordered about $49 (half for me and half for a friend) standard shipping was $7.95--less the $5 so I came out about $52.
Just thought I'd share the info.

Thanks so much.

Hi Dmac

Thanks for the info. Nice selection. They'll look good in my garden next year.

Anytime:)

Thanks too. I ordered a bunch of seeds :o)

Thanks for that! Also found a $10 off coupon online. Works with the sale.

thxs put an order in lol

I'm gonna have to start checking online for coupon codes:lol:

yes me too but where do you look? plmk and thxs

I just googled Thompson & Morgan online coupon code and the first place on the list had a number for $10 off a $10 + order.

wish i would have seen that before i ordered lol thxs

me too:lol: Thought I was all clever digging up a catalog and trying out the number:lol:
I'm happy with the $5 off I got from that--covered most of their ridiculous postage. Some of what they're offering (not all!) I had picked up at Valueseed a couple of months ago and they (valueseed sells overstock or end of season overages for T&M) ship for $1.99. They just didn't have the same selection--I check there periodically throughout the year to see if anything new has been added.

dmac085 Thank you this cost me 69.07..LOL
It would have only cost me about 20.00..
But I had to show DW Shirley...LOL
Thank You for the tip about online coupon
..

I'm not finding a coupon, it just sends me to the website. Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Karen

Karen I just tried it again ' It was right there..Hummm

Try again girl

Is it the code 06832? I was looking for a coupon instead of a code, now I think I get it! Thanks

Thanks for letting us know about the sale. I got the code CR888 for the $10 off when I signed up to receive the next catalog. Of course I bought even more since I was saying $10 lol

I just placed an order for under $12 plus shipping, and it let me use the $10 off coupon!

My order was $16.72 with shipping after the $10 off coupon. Great deal and good selection of sale seeds!!

Thanks dmac for the link!!

I spent way too much. Kept tell myself, its only a buck. Anyway the $10 did help. I got some beautiful seeds. Thanks for telling us about the sale.

I need to be smacked--I ordered more last night and used the $10 off code:lol: They had added a few things since the first time I ordered--all that Kew garden stuff:lol:

Glad everyone has found some good deals:) Had to share the info--don't like being knee deep in an addiction all by my lonesome ;)

I checked it out the other day and when I finally ordered I noticed they had added some stuff too. Thanks for allowing us to share in your (mostly) harmless addiction!!

I've found the people most prone to catching it tend to hang out here at DG anyway:lol:
Yeah, I'm a peach alright:lol:

Thanks for the head's up:)) I successfully used the coupon for the $10 off. Niccccce!

the system doesn't prevent you from using coupon code but sometime they will contact you and tell you that you can not use coupon code on sales item. I had that happened to me last year.

Did you get a confirmation that your seeds had shipped out?

I got the two invoices so far in the mail--my billing and shipping addresses are different. Between the two orders I placed only 3 of the items weren't available of the 67 packs I ordered (1/3 for a friend, 1/3 for me and some to share). I received an email and it mentions 7-10 business days so I expect I'll see them sometime this week.

I used the coupon code for $10 off $10 and the correct price was charged to my card when the seeds were shipped, so it worked for me^_^

fantastic. I will have to go find my catalogs to see if I can use the discount.

Received my first order today--big old bubble envelope--I forgot how large packs of beans are:lol: Will most likely see the second order tomorrow or Wed. Pretty fast shipping for sale items!

Does Value Seed guarantee their seeds? I am concerned with some of the reviews of TM products, but they have some unique varieties. If they have germination issues (as some reviewers stated), I would like to get refunds/replacements. I am learning the hard way that plants/seeds on sale are only a good deal if they grow. It can be difficult to get refunds/replacements from some companies.

Answered my own question. From the value seeds site:

"Because of the extremely low prices on this website all sales are final and no refunds will be given. You can get all the sowing and aftercare instructions you need right here on our website. "

Thanks, but no thanks.

Value Seed is the clearance house of T&M so I don't imagine there is much of guarantee. T&M tends to carry some fussy to grow seeds as well as seeds more geared towards novice gardeners. I know my limitations and stick to easy stuff:lol:
If you have reservations I would suggest calling or emailing first.

This is from the order form inside the print catalog:

"Please Read Before Placing Your Order

(third paragraph down from top)
Satisfaction Guaranteed: All items listed in T&M's catalogs have been rigorously checked to ensure they maintain T&M's pre-defined high quality standards. In the unlikely event that you have cause to complain, please notify us of any seed problems within one year of purchase enclosing both the outer packet and inner foil, unless special conditions apply. Please return all other items within 14 days of receipt if any product does not meet your expectations, for replacement or refund (less shipping & handling).

Value Seed only offers seed in the foil inner wrapper (no T&M outer photo packaging) and virtually no way to contact them other than the order site (no phone number).

Hope that helps you make your decision one way or the other.

This sale is not from Value Seed but from T&M--all seeds I received are marked for this years sales and have the outer photo retail packaging as well as the inner foil pack with the seeds enclosed.

Looking forward to receiving mine! Like dmac said, you gotta know your limitations when it comes to seed starting. Some seeds are way more difficult to germinate than others. Those I'll save until I have more experience, or at least until I can take the disappointment - lol.

T&M list the level of difficulty for germination. That should be enough for the gardeners to determine whether it's worth the try.

Am adding my thanks to the others' for letting us know about this sale - much appreciated
