That Jersey Plant Offer

planenut

The MSE offer for a batch of plants at a very good price from the Jersey supplier was tempting. Too bad the site is the worst I have ever come across for using - absolutely horrendous and that will certainly stop me spending any money on plants with them again.

You had an 'horrendous' experience on the web site, but carried on regardless, bought the plants, and now you want to complain about the buying experience?

OK.

If you'd joined the queue for a Boxing Day sale, waited for hours and then fought your way through hordes of others to get what you wanted, would you then go home and complain about the service?

The offer went out to millions of people.

Regardless of the ordering process, I was wondering whether anyone had received their order yet and could comment on the quality of the plants.

Plugs vary hugely in this, I've found in the past.

Grateful for any thoughts.

I suspect that MSE get a commission on these deals so they can't be objective. Generally the T&M deals and Jersey plant deals featured on this site look much better value than they actually are, and often with these multibuy deals you will be dissapointed with the size of plant. EG you'd be much better off buying one large established plant from your local garden centre than getting 20 tiny plugs online. It seems more than a bit hypocritical when MSE claims it's trying to save people money yet it promotes these offers and not a REAL offer which I found and tested - have a look at this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5818372
