It is much easier to contact Roger and Sue via the telephone. E-mails do take a while to get answered and therefore I recommend phoning them if you require a fast response. Their telephone number is on the web page.

My order arrived on Wednesday and was accompanied by a nice note.

Ha!

so I will get my drops soon :D

Last year my order from Ivycroft was sent in my holiday and so I wasn`t home and so the parcel went back to England,went to Holland,back to England and finally arrived with me after weeks.
The bulbs were still in very good condition,there was a nice note with it and I received very large bulbs,with little ones attatched.

No need to say I am very pleased with their service and due to these parcel-problems I mailed Roger several times and always got a quick and very friendly reply.

Holy moly, Brian, don't tell me you peruse REAL bulb catalogues as well?  I know you have other plants in your garden, but I had no idea you were a real person.... only thought of you as a bearded figment of my imagination ::)

Glad to hear all is sorted out, Rob, and not at all surprised that you found it a pleasure to speak to Roger. He is very pleasant to deal with, most obliging and helpful.

Now, he had better post on my snowdrops quickly or I will be on the phone to him!

Oh, good, Loes, you will be pleased by that.  Can I be very inquisitive and ask what you chose?

Maggi

as my money-to-spend is limited I only bought 3 bulbs(and believe me that`s not cheap)
Trym,gracilis Yamanlar and Hill Poë.(and to complete the amount of pounds that I sent,2 Atkinsii)
and I got 3 Galatea which was from a earlier order and could not be delivered then.

Yesterday I planted them with care.
