I got mine from my LFS, but you can get them from almost anywhere.
I have used this company for plants and bulbs. They also sell tabs.

There are lots of companies on line that sell this sort of thing. Even if you find a brand you like you could always check out Amazon etc. for price comparison.
Hope that helps.  :)

With eBay, all buying I do is done so carefully. I check out their feedback score and positive percentage and read a few of the feedbacks. It is usually pretty easy to see if they are a trusted seller. Too many people fall foul of just buying the cheapest/best deal without looking at the sellers credentials. I bought root tabs from a reputable seller and I have no complaints with the 20 tabs I bought for a few quid (can't remember the exact amount).

Hi paddy
Unfortunately having a good reviews status doesn't prove a thing !  I bought a laptop battery from someone who had a 98 percent feedback rating. When they sent me the wrong battery I wrote to them and explained it didn't fit and was not what I ordered . They never replied once and I had to go through e bay to get my money back !
Also there are many people that claim to be in the uk but are based in China and the item takes a month to get here and is poor quality !
I wouldnt risk something for pets I'm afraid nor anything edible for myself .
You never know .
Be careful
Allison

I must be quite lucky with Ebay, but I won't buy from anyone with less than 99.5% feedback and I always check the seller's location before buying to make sure they are UK resident.
The only hiccup I've had was with the eSHa Exit a couple of months ago but as the company were moving premises at the time I think I was sent packs from the back of the shelf that someone had opened.
The only other problems have been non-deliveries which were refunded immediately by the seller.

As Sue says, luck is a lot to do with both good and bad eBay experiences. I can barely remember any issues I've had as a buyer, but I have had some fraught times as a seller... There are a minority of people out there who try to use any slight discrepancy to dispute a sale in the hope they will get it even cheaper or even for free!

Everyone is different and you are quite right to stick to what you trust, Ally. I agree with edible goods... Don't think I've ever bought food online. Although I order my weekly vegetables delivery via Facebook messenger but that doesn't really count  :rotfl:
