Quick delivery, some potatoes a bit small
Delivery was quick and packaging good. But disappointed in the size of the seeds potatoes. Some were very small, so I’m concerned whether I’ll get a decent crop. I’ll only know once they have grown!

Thanks for your comments and I'm sorry that you are disappointed with the size of some tubers. The size depends on many things such as the variety and also our overall harvest.
Expectations vary as to what a seed potato should look like and some people like large ones and cut them up, and some request the smallest possible. Potatoes are a natural product and so variation is to be expected.
Expectations and what we offer can be different and we are as transparent as we can be about the size and the variation of size that you can expect in your order.
To manage the different expectations, we have a tab on each variety under the blurb and also a section in our FAQ explaining the size and the variation of sizes of tubers in our nets with pictures. https://www.potatohouse.co.uk/faq/ We ask at checkout if this information has been read.
We have over 90 varieties of seed potato and they are in 4 different net sizes, we do not have the capacity to also grade by size, and if we did, this would push the overall price up.
We have many bloggers who take pics of their chitting potatoes and the different sizes - see here for one example.
https://www.facebook.com/robsallotmentcom/posts/pfbid02ybXfMaxcJZF4Ce5CncB7oQ5RBNxNXfUaDaR2A6ezxexChgUtHQkCXx9qigQ3Dc89l
We sell our potatoes as 35mm+ and the legal limit in the UK is 25mm. We are trialling one variety this year on the small size of 25-35mm and this has gone down very well with customers. https://www.potatohouse.co.uk/product/charlotte/
We are human though, and mistakes can happen. If you think that some of your potatoes are under 35mm, please take a pic with them alongside a ruler and we'll take a look for you. Please send to amy@potatohouse.co.uk
You have a great selection there and I hope you get a nice potato patch - we're here for any questions.
They will all be chitting away nicely by now and we are looking forward to updates. Please tag us on social media if you use that.

The seed potatoes are in absolutely prime condition - and this is when delivered in late February! I can see they're going to provide a wonderful crop.

Thank you for commenting on the quality, it is something we are very proud of!
Our seed potatoes are kept in cold storage and bagged up close to dispatch so are in perfect condition even much later in the season than this! Garden centres will have their potatoes bagged up in December and stored in warmer conditions and so will be beginning to sprout now.
We're here for questions so please let us know how you get on over the season.

We are quite proud of the delivery service we offer to our customers and always appreciate it when someone takes the time to comment on it! We think we are the only company to allow you to pick the week required instead of the month.
There are huge variances in the weather in the UK and so we want each customer to get their potatoes for when they are ready to chit.
Have a great growing season - keep us updated.
Seed potatoes arrived on date requested…
Updated review: Seed potatoes arrived on date requested well packed in environmentally friendly packaging. Disappointing that one of the seed potatoes is damaged given there’s only 6 in each pack
Got a lovely response from Amy at Potato House. Very good customer service hence updated to 5 stars - to err is human it’s how you respond to it that matters.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for mentioning the packaging and the fact that the order arrived when you requested. We are proud to offer the delayed delivery service for the week that our customers ask for, rather than the month like most companies.
However, I am a bit confused with your comment "only 5 in each pack"I have had a look at your order and you ordered the Sarpo Pack which is 5 different varieties, each with 6 tubers. So you should have 30 tubers in your order.
It is disappointing that you haven't contacted us to let us know about the damaged tuber. We aim for 100% of our orders to leave us in perfect condition.
We are dealing with fresh produce and transport and so, unfortunately, a tiny percentage of orders will not arrive in perfect condition. As you don't mention whether the tuber was damaged in transit or prior to that, I can't comment too much about it.
We always look into these orders - however we do need you to tell us about this! I have had a look at your order and note that you haven't contacted us about any issue.
We can't put this right until we hear about what has gone wrong. We need to know what your problem is.
Please drop a note with some pictures explaining your issue and we will look into it for you. amy@potatohouse.co.uk
Thank you

Sarpo Axona seed potatoes…
I tried the Sarpo Axona seed potatoes last year and they were much better than varieties purchased from mainstream suppliers. They produced really healthy potatoes, disease free tubers and a good crop which stored well. I was so impressed I am trying the Sarpo variety pack this year plus some top up Axonas to see if there are all as good. Overall a quality specialist supplier - Support them and you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for your lovely words. We put a lot of our varieties to trials across the UK and when we say blight-resistant, we really mean it and it is not a marketing ploy!

Thank you for highlighting these points.
For any other customers reading this - please note that the bonus net was an early autumn offer we had. If you ordered before the end of October you got this wee thank you! It was extremely popular and we may well do something like that next year.
I hope you get a great potato patch.
Great all round service
Great choice of varieties. I really appreciate being able to buy a small quantity and to time delivery to start chitting.
