i don't like to be bothered with calculations and custom/import rules so if i keep my US seeds order at £10 including p&p, shouldn't i be alight? what would you say is safe level of threshold before i would get caught out? maybe next year i might try seeds from US.

Over £18 its very hit and miss anyway - depends whether you want to gamble. I bought a Leatherman Juice for much less than half the cost over here, it wasn't stopped, but was delivered in the post.
The Parcel Force bloke delivering my US bought binoculars seemed surprised I'd been 'caught out' and was having to pay duty & VAT....but they did come in via courier.Last edited by smallblueplanet; 01-03-2008, 06:14 PM.To see a world in a grain of sand

Hi,
Yup, same old story... I ordered some seeds over a month ago and they've still not turned up. When I emailed the company they said the seeds were dispatched the day after I ordered. 4 emails later... no luck. I have not had any response from roguelands directly, just their middleman. I paid via paypal, so I have started a "dispute" to see if I can get my money back that way. Check out- davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/2621/

I ordered last year from Roguelands and the seeds turned up in double quick time, I was impressed as I also got 2 packs of free seeds.
I ordered again this year, but this time it went through seedfest. same situ as others I'm afraid money paid, tracking says despatched but NO seeds!
I hope they turn up as they had some interesting tomato's

Hi, you can add my name to the list of people who have been conned by Roguelands Seeds. I ordered the "50 packets of seeds" for 15 US dollars on 16th Feb 2008. The money was swiftly taken out of my PayPal account. Now it's the 1st week of April and still no seeds. I stupidly tried sending a handful of e-mails to them, but still no reply. Checking on the PayPal website I was informed that PayPal can't refund me the money for some reason. Oh well - next time I guess I'll check forums like this before I get stung again.

I don't know the details of this company, but would add to the thread by saying that anything I've ever ordered from the US takes about 6 weeks to arrive in the post ...
I'd also not order my seeds from abroad, unless it was something one-off and special. I want to grow in the UK climate, so surely I should be buying seeds produced for the UK, not the US, where the growing conditions are totally different?All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

In my view the stuff from abroad (not just the US) is often a better price (even with p&p), with more variety and more numerous, than seeds sold in the UK.To see a world in a grain of sand

What a shame though. You'd have thought it would have been much easier just to send me my seeds!Last edited by T-lady; 14-05-2008, 05:44 PM.Cheers
