Fired up myself the computer and will chat to Amazon customer support - I paid with a gift voucher, will that make any difference?

Complain to Amazon, you did not receive what what advertised and based on the price were ripped off.

Stinkytoe · 15/02/2019 18:36

No, they’ll just refund to you account so you’ll have a balance on amazon

WinterHeatWave · 15/02/2019 18:37

I think they have sent you this

PickAChew · 15/02/2019 18:37

The description is ambiguous, what you got and what the picture is are different, the dimensions might be correct, though.

ronswansonstache · 15/02/2019 18:37

I've literally ordered this and got 6 individual packets!

I recently ordered one thing and was sent another.

Complained.

They asked was there anything wrong with the product.

I pointed out that it wasn't what I ordered.

They told me to distribute amongst friends, and they would refund me 35%.

I said 'no', and demanded original item to be sent.

They said 4-6 weeks.

Am still waiting...

I would expect a random selection of 4 of the 6 shown.

SoupDragon · 15/02/2019 18:39

One of the reviews says "Only one out of the six packets of seeds grew"

So, six.

SneakyGremlins · 15/02/2019 18:47

Noelor is doing his/her best to help get me a refund Grin

I searched for the item and don't think it's misleading at all, it's definitely for 6 packets, and the item you received has a totally different packet. I searched for 'de Ree seeds' and they were the first and second results, sold by different sellers. Unless it's possible you clicked on the wrong link and ordered the wrong item, I would say you have been sent the incorrect item - check your order history to make sure that you actually ordered what you think you did, and if so, complain to Amazon. Fwiw, I think the listing for 6 packets is completely unambiguous, buyers should receive 6 packets.

Aridane · 15/02/2019 18:51

OP - they've simply made a mistake and sent you the wrong item - see the link posted by winter

Crystalintheeyes · 15/02/2019 18:54

I would of said 4 packs. Random selection

SneakyGremlins · 15/02/2019 18:54

I definitely ordered the six packets!

Result from Amazon:

"I have successfully processed a full refund of £3.70 to your gift card balance and it will reflect on your account within 24 hours. Rest assured, that this is just the maximum time and you may expect it earlier, within hours.
Due to the nature of the item, please feel free to dispose, donate or keep the item that you have received."

They've also filed a complaint with the seller even though I didn't ask them to, but I have a refund!

The same packet is on sale for £1.75!

ChesterGreySideboard · 15/02/2019 18:57

That is shit and misleading.

They can’t send you the wrong thing then refuse refunds.

However, how much did you pay? Can you be arsed to argue it?

Mammajay · 15/02/2019 18:58

Good for you. It says selection of 6 so you should have received 6.

ChesterGreySideboard · 15/02/2019 18:59

Sorry, missed the update.

That is well over the odds for seeds.
Might I suggest you try eBay instead.

Squigglesworth · 15/02/2019 19:00

It is absolutely a listing of six different types of seeds-- and yes, it's not even all the same plants!! Completely unsatisfactory. I hope you have luck with the refund!

SneakyGremlins · 15/02/2019 19:01

I had a gift voucher that's why I went on Amazon!

I'll stick to buying flower seeds... Never had an issue with those!

OP posts:
MrsSteveMcDonald · 15/02/2019 19:02

I know you have your refund now but I also read that as 6 packets. The 4 means that they sell a variety of seed packs and this is selection number 4.

Renster · 15/02/2019 19:03

I would’ve expected one big packet, with 6 little packets (one of each herb) inside, from the price.
But what you got were seed discs!!!!!
Honestly, the cheek of some people!
Glad it worked out. 😃

LoudJazzHands · 15/02/2019 19:03

I think the 4 is the "part number".
There are different herb collections with different herbs and the OP chose collection number 4. I would expect to receive 6 packets of seeds from collection number 4.

TwoleftUggs · 15/02/2019 19:04

I don’t know why people are saying you should only get 4 packets. It says collection 4, which is 6 packets of seeds. Sellers sometimes have various options, which are listed under a drop down, maybe collections 1,2 and 3 have different selections of herbs etc, but you should definitely have got the 6 seeds mentioned in the listing for option 4! They’ve just sent the wrong one I reckon.

importantkath · 15/02/2019 19:06

Great result
