The cynic in me thinks that this is probably standard procedure throughout the sector. It’s like amazon having no hesitation in sending out replacement items that didn’t arrive or are damaged etc.; it’s such a tiny, tiny percentage of overall sales that it makes far more business sense to cover these free of charge, and therefore try and keep customers on side.
I don’t know what the answer is, other than saving as much of our own veg seed as we can. I just don’t have time to save all I’d like to grow, and of course the seed providers are well aware of this situation too.
This has turned in to quite a long thread on here! I thought I’d made a mistake when I linked the propagator up to the same plug board as the tv, turning the lot off at night; at least I won’t make that error again 🙂
