Default 100 Free Bulbs from J Parkers with this Secret Code. No P&P.
Go to J Parker Dutch Bulbs

And click on to Promotions

Add Code FR65. (It's Case sensitive) click enter

Add to Basket, checkout, address.... job done.

I was told about this from sombody on the BBC board, as they had recieved an e-mail from Parkers about the offer.

Then lets see what happens.

All the best.

**EDIT: Shortie - Incase everyone wonders what's going on, I've merged the two threads **

This is what it says it has:

This FREE collection of 100 bulbs consists of 20 each of Ixias Mixed, Sparaxis Mixed and Ranunculus mixed, and 40 Anemone Blanda Blue.

I go mad for Ranunculus for it globular shaped flower . Should I or should I not ?

EDIT - Done it and no need to enter CC details either ! Thanks Seasprout, you're a gem!

I managed to get through, maybe it's busy with too many people ordering at the same time. Try again.

Yes, I think the site is being overloaded, this offer is also being currently posted about all over other forums, everybody is piling in, keep trying.

You wont loose anything by trying.

I get all the way to the confirm order at the end of checkout then get the 'Database error trying to add customer' message. Where do I get a customer number from?

That field is not compulsory (no asterisk next to it) so I didn't enter anything against it and got no error message. I think it's too many people accessing the system at the same time.

EVERYONE WHO IT HASNT WORKED FOR:

I did it wrong the first time. Open the web page by the link in the top thread. Click on the green tab at the top whcih says 'promotions' enter the promotion code then click on send. On the next screen click on add to basket then click on check out.

This should help
