it's where I bought my aluminium vinyl from, not received it yet but he has good feedback and a reasonable rating so should be OK.

He has various materials in his store currently suitable for making trim from.


no connection

anyone for

Dark Blue or Burgundy Vinyl Naugahyde Leather or Forest Green Bonded Leather ?

hi hammer...
what does he charge for postage ?


givemethebighammer - 25/7/04 at 09:45 AM

he has just charged me $44 for shipping 8 yards x 56 inches of vinyl material via airmail. But 8 yards has to weigh a bit ...

Material only cost $4.46 !!!!


he did say he could ship via normal parcels service as this was cheaper but it could take 3 - 6 weeks to arrive compared to 4 - 10 days for airmail.

oh well.....
it's still only, what, about 25 quid....cheap enough for 8 yards of it....

I've been vaguely looking for silver grey vinyl....more like keeping my eyes open for it..

cool....at least you've found what you wanted...thats half the battle...

wonder how long it will take to appear....week or so i would suppose...

cheers

We'll see, stuff may not even be exactly what I think but at £25 I could always resell it on ebay and get at least half that back.

Like I said before 8 yards is way more than I need so others will be welcome to the stuff left over, I will only probably only want the cost of the postage.
