I only ever buy seeds from certain companies on eBay, 99p, most times post free, sometimes a free packet if you order five or more. Never had a problem with germination.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I would report to Amazon the seller @alexemmersonuk they are useless in banning seller most of the time but they're taking advantage of people and selling fake seeds. When you multiply £2.99 per hundreds of orders it all adds up. eBay is terrible too and they rarely act when I've reported them.
I think that they look like "love in a mist" (nigella seeds). If they are they will grow quickly and will be identified by feathery foliage. It would be safer to buy seeds from a supermarket, garden centre or Wilko in future!
@pyra88 Yes I really do fancy tulips! I'm going to have to look at Suttons or someone as reliable and see what actual colour choices I have. I am really not a fan of yellows / reds / oranges.... Pinks will do though, so I'll have a look! Thanks!
If you order now, most places will deliver later in the year, right about when you've to plant them.
Also, if you sign up to newsletters from lots of nurseries and suppliers, they sometimes send you discount codes to entice you to buy something the first time. Not always, though.

Also Farmer Gracy, there's a discount code on the GW website somewhere for them.
