Lower quality as in for spreading uniformity ? But same analysis as nitram ?

Yes and yes.

Blue bag is a premium product , apparently .

If they don't sort out my credit note soon I will show some pictures of their premium product.

Dodgy gear? Lumpy?

To be fair it came out at £215 (blue bag an) pay Jan, don’t know why you wouldn’t have just ordered itt and been done with it. At the end of the day you know how much you are going to need so just get on and book it.

because many farmers thought it could only drop from that price (based on no evidence, just gut feeling), same with urea at £210, however with china seemingly producing circa 50% less urea and Iranian sanctions taking them out the picture for N is a very firm market this year.

No but I'm wanting to get it sorted out.

It's not going to drop in price.

Frontier texted me today to say (frighten me) that all prices going up at end of week.
They usually do at month end ........ key issue is by how much.

Genuine question, how should a merchant convey imminent price rises?

If/When I send a text out to inform people, get the usual just trying to frighten response off some, yet if we didn't and the market went up would be accused of not giving warning. I guess there is no one job fits all.

But considering the messages have been that its going up for nearly the last £100/t you'd have thought it would be useful information, even if you choose not to act on it?

Did they give you a current price? I have never dealt with them but gave me prices for nitram and double to today seemed a lot to me!

No I haven’t received the price yet, guess after responding to the text that will be tomorrow.

Well good job I didn’t let Frontier frighten me into an order. Other quotes were £8-10 per tonne cheaper

They might have been but the sentiment/message was still correct.

Once you give a consistent steer to your customers, both when it’s going up and going down, as a customer I would consider it very useful information.
Some people never want to believe bad news.

I basically told my fert merchant to bugger off. As I was fed up of constantly being told prices being withdrawn and going up at end of week.

I know if they're going up by posts on here and phone him up when I want to order some. I won't get annoyed when price has risen and he hasn't told me.

Came to a understanding.

As above. Get plenty phone calls saying price is about to rise, you should buy now. Don't recall many many calls saying price has just dropped, do you want to do anything?
