Last weekend I realised we were down to the last kilogram bag. Ahhhh... We normally buy several bags of them back from the UK! Wilkinsons is our main source of supply and we pay between £2:00 and £2:50 per Kilo bag.
We have looked before here in France but they have tended to be more expensive... On Monday I found some on Amazon.fr. Here The price appeared reasonable at just over €2 per kilo with free delivery...
The big surprise is they came from a UK company based in Trafford Park, Manchester... I ordered a bag...
They appeared this morning by courier...
The only damage was a small tear in the top of the sack.
They look good and the Goldfinches are enjoying them as I write.
If they store OK, the seeds should last us the rest of this year and well into next...
My hat is raised to the excellent service by Capital Stores UK, a 20kg sack delivered from Manchester to Braye in four days. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Many thanks Capital Stores UK from Us and the Goldfinches...

If you haven't picked up on this,
You don't have to use amazon.fr at all, you can use amazon.co.uk if you want, find a supplier who ships to Europe, pay on a UK CC and the stuff gets shipped from the UK and is usually at a lower price than you would pay on-line in France. Shipping costs can vary if the goods don't come directly from amazon, but you can shop around to find the cheapest deal.
Paul We use both Amazon's all the time. I have just bought an oil filter for our autoportee - €46 on .fr £8.60 on .co.uk... Thanks anyway. Col
Colin,
I just wanted to make sure you knew about it - I just read the post re. air and oil filter, and the price difference does not come as a surprise :-)
Regards
