Cheap steel?
Mansfield - 27/2/06 at 08:33 PM

I asked this question of www.bettermetalstores.com

Could you give me a price on 30m 1"x1"x1/16" SHS ERW mild steel?

And a seperate price for that delivered (about 10 miles) Mansfield?

And they replied:

£1.20 per metre, + £5 delivery + VAT

Is that right, or too good to be true. I have bought from these guys before and can vouch for their service - even for very small bits.

My local place is £6.50 for a 5.something metre length with free delivery on anything over a tenner.

They also do CDS, good for your bones.

I got my metal from these, their only in Alfreton.
I'm in Mansfield too and had to double check the price with him, cheapest in our area!
