Ordering garlic bulbs

Would like to get some hardnecks planted before the frost so they can get some roots established.
Can anyone recommend an online supplier? Suttons have some but delivery is £7!

Dobies do them but they are expensive, £9 for just 2 bulbs plus p&p. I've been searching for weeks and still can't find any reasonable ones.

@OldTinHat - checked and their hardnecks are sold out I think.

@donkeydo - I’m
always amazed at how expensive the bulb for growing are. I understand that you shouldn’t plant the supermarket ones as they are not treated. Wondering what the treating involves and whether you can diy (in some way)?

Marshalls is selling 6 bulbs of 3 different hardnecks for £11 at the moment. Shipping would be £6.

@Trouvere - thanks for this. Sounds the best deal so far!

If you can get to your local garden center (not the big chain ones) they normally stock Taylor bulbs in for 2.99 for 2!
