I can't fault their products or service - top class, but it beats me how any of you can afford to feed birds at the prices charged by any of the mail order companies. As it is, buying in bulk locally from either pet shops or farm supplies, I spend in excess of £20 a week, but everything on CJ's price list is usually double what I pay, it's not a critism, just I am gobsmacked, you must be rich people!

I just looked at their website. I bought 20kg of sunflower hearts last week from a local pet shop - not known for its cheapness. They seem to match the "premium" quality on the web site as there are no black or non-hulled seeds there. I paid £20-00; the web site price was £34-00 + pp! I was rather taken aback.songbird said:I can't fault their products or service - top class, but it beats me how any of you can afford to feed birds at the prices charged by any of the mail order companies.

I also think the prices are quite expensive, BUT in my experience, you get what you pay for.
I did a little test a while back, and ordered some birdfood from another supplier. It was much cheaper, and guess what, the birds left most of it. So to my mind it's a false economy. I pay more, but there is no waste at all.

Try to find a local mill or supplier specializing in bird food. I am sure you will find it much cheaper. I am fortunate that Vine House Farm (who advertise in the birding magazines) is not far from me, and also the local mill stocks bird food. Collecting from them is much cheaper than having it delivered

I have found that I get the best quality from those who produce the feeds, for they are far more specialized in all departments. I have also found that the smaller supplier always beat the big boys not just on price but also quality and service. Those who live in South Lincs are very fortunate with two suppliers within three miles of each other, and I'm sure like me they have made very big savings by trying both. I ended up saving £20 pounds on three bags
