6. Promotions & Offers

We often run special offers and promotions on our website.

  • All offers are the sole discretion of Groseeds and are subject to variety or withdrawal without any notice.
  • Offers cannot be applied to previous orders.


6.1 Free Gifts

For example - 'Get Poppy Shirley seeds free when you spend £19.50 or more'.

  • In this example, the free poppy seeds will be added automatically to your shopping basket once the minimum spend of £19.50 has been reached.
  • The minimum spend of £19.50 should not include the price of the free gift or any postage and packaging costs.
  • We like to keep to our promise and will do our very best to keep a free gift in stock, however if for reasons such as short supply due to crop failure etc. we will substitute the free gift with a similar product of equal or greater value (never less).
  • Promotions such as for example - 'The first 100 orders this week will receive 1 packet of tomato seeds Sungold free' will be on the basis of first come first served.
  • Free delivery offers will be delivered 2nd class by the Royal Mail.


6.2 Voucher Code Offers

For example - 'Join our Let's Gro Newsletter and get 8% off your order'.

  • Once you have submitted your email address to subscribe to our newsletter you should within a few minutes receive an email from Groseeds (please check your spam folder) requesting that you confirm your subscription to our Let's Gro Newsletter. Click on the link in the email to confirm your subscription and to claim your 10% off voucher code. (Your voucher code will appear as soon as you have confirmed your subscription)
  • To redeem the discount simply enter the voucher code in the 'coupon code' box during checkout.


6.3 Percentage (%) Off Discounts

For example - 'Join our Let's Gro Newsletter and get 20% off your order'.

Rather than calculating the 20% discount from the subtotal our shopping cart platform will calculate the 20% discount from each individual item in your shopping basket, it will then round each figure up or down (whichever is closest) before adding the subtotal. This process of rounding up or rounding down each item price often leads to the % discount being and a few pennies out.

Here's an example order with 20% discount applied to the whole subtotal -
6 items in total - 3 items at £1.61 each and 3 items at £1.47 each

  • The subtotal of the order before applying the 20% discount is £9.24
  • 20% of the subtotal is £1.848 (rounded up to £1.85)
  • Total to pay after the 20% discount calculated from the subtotal is £7.39

Here's how our system will calculate the discount on this example order -

  • 20% of £1.61 is 32.2 pence (the system will round this figure down to 32 pence) x 3 items = 96 pence discount
  • 20% of £1.47 is 29.4 pence (the system will round this figure down to 29 pence) x 3 items = 87 pence discount
  • Total discount for all 6 items is £1.83
  • Total to pay on this order after the discount has been calculated is £7.41 (2 pence difference)
  • Actual percentage discount received = 19.97%

Due to the constraints in our shopping cart platform we are unable to guarantee the full amount of the discount percentage on offer. Customers using a percentage off discount offer should expect the total payment value after the % discount to be incorrect by a few pennies due to this calculation process which is unfortunately a process out of our control.
