Default Premier seeds direct....on Ebay

Has anyone used them before?

It's a bit late to see what you think of them really as I got a bit carried away today and ordered 11 packs of seeds from them!

They had excellent feedback and a great selection.

Fingers crossed I should get my order at the beginning of next week....can't wait!!!

Not yet they advise 3-5 days so I hope they'll be here beginning of next week.

I've ordered quite a few different seeds from them this year aswell, mostly unusual heirloom tomatoes and climbing beans. Everything has germinated and seems to be growing happily. What I found very good was that no matter how many packs you ordered they only charged 70p p+p.

I've used them twice now and found them to be first-class. My first port-of-call now for seeds.

I got my runner beans and corn seeds from them. They have been the best seeds I have gotten so far this year from any source.

Hi, completely new to all of this, but have a helpful allotment neighbour who says they are fantastic, and he is usually very short on praise for anything! I am about to order some too, let's hope they work even in my novice hands.

I've had quite a few seeds from them too, some of them are growing in the garden right now

Especially like the delivery charge.

I've just had a delivery from them - as you all say, great postage charge - sowed them all the next day and the day after the pak choi and Chinese cabbage were through. I'm really glad they have such a good reputation here.
