Where did you see the 10% discount? I can't see it on the site. Or do you know the code??

It's across the site just, if you check the prices you can see everything has (at least) 10% off.

And ordered. Dropped about €300 even with the discount, but oh so much grain, not to mention a mill that I keep promising myself! Don't think I'll need to put in another order for about a year now. :D

An interesting point for the suppliers here though is I was comparing prices, but others showed a lot of items out of stock, so they lose out on orders. Instead of splitting my order, I just got everything in the one place as a result.

If you have an online presence, you have to keep your store front updated or you'll lose a lot of potential customers. That, coupled with an offer like this and fast shipping means a lot.

A point i have made time and again,some here get it some still do not,went on one site the other day(because they had a particular hop i was looking for) and over 50% of the items were out of stock but still displayed and have been like that for a while,i thought fook that and went back to HBC and got sorted. ;D

Yup, also I had a problem with my order and sent in an email. Response within 5 minutes and problem sorted within 10. I have a hard time bringing myself to order from anywhere else if the standard of service stays at that level.
