| Last fall when I received my backordered plants from Bluestone, there were a whole bunch of coupons enclosed. I filed them away until now not thinking they wouldn't save me much in the future. They did.
My order for 17 plants came to $168.15
For a total of: $108.59 for 17 plants or an average of $6.39 per plant Oh yes, I also will be receiving a bonus plant of their choice and because I had a coupon for free shipping on my next order, $108.59 is all I pay. That's pretty darned good IMO. Kevin Kevin |

| I would say so. |

| I have to agree. I have none of the special coupons you have mentioned, but I have so far booked some great deals from Bluestone just by using the 15% off early ordering discount code and watching their rotating 50% off specials. The shipping is among the cheapest of any mail order company I have seen. I am excited about the larger sized plants and I am very willing to give the new biodegradable pots a chance, especially since they are ultimately better for the environment. It is a shame that people are posting such negative reviews of Bluestone on the Garden WD just because they have changed their business model. If you are careful, Bluestone is still very much on the inexpensive side compared to all other *reputable* mail order companies. |

| Is anyone aware of the next time of year that Bluestone runs another sale? Of course I kept putting off placing my order, and now the 15% off coupon time is over. I only want to purchase 3 plants but I like to find a bargain if I can. Linda |

| Linda I don't have a 15% coupon. On the back of my catalog is a coupon code for the discount and it's good until Feb 8. You might want to check your catalog if you have one. Kevin |

| Linda, I think they usually - or, should I say they USED TO - have a sale in summer, after most people have bought their spring stuff. Not sure what they have planned now. I haven't placed an order yet, but I plan to. Sheesh, hard to believe it's almos February! I guess I need to get myself in gear and place an order to take advantage of the early discount and the coupons. Dee |
|
| Kevin, I just checked my catalog and my Expiration Date for the discount is the same as the card they sent me after my catalog arrived - January 25th. Darn. I'm going to keep watching this forum and hopefully someone will post again when Bluestone is having another sale. Thanks to both you and Dee for your responces. |
|
| I have done this with all the online nurseries that I have used..... Put your order together...call them and ask if you place an order what discount will they offer you today? I have gotten a bigger discount and/or free plants. It never hurts to ask all they can say is NO or you might get a deal. |
|
| I received an email earlier today from Bluestone that says, "Early Order Discount Expires February 15th, 2012" so perhaps the date has been extended? As Marquest said, it certainly doesn't hurt to ask. |
