Whaleys

[zed]

I was wondering about getting some scrim from Whaleys, I know Lyn has and I think Judith has, do either of you know what the postage was for it (50m)?
thanks

I think it was about £15 zed, it depends on which delivery option you choose. It should be on their website though.

I tried to find it, but they said it'd be shown at checkout. Once VAT and postage is added, it's not looking anything like the price per metre quoted

Sorry Zed, been a while since we bought scrim. You're right. There's no info on postage is there? Only thing would be to email or phone them.

[zed]

Yeah. I suppose £15 isn't much for the weight, but i don't know the weight, so don't know id to add something to make it more worthwhile or if I'd go over
More thinking, I think.

Hi Zed,

Just found the Whaleys Invoice, dated Jan 2013



50 m natural cotton scrim  £37.00
Carriage                          13.30 I think this was the basic charge which was for a 5 - 8 day delivery time
VAT                                10,06

TOTAL                             £60.36





The carriage and VAT do push the price up to around £1.20/metre, but it still compares very favourably with other suppliers who seem to charge around £2,30/metre plus carriage for the same stuff.

Thanks, Judith

Yeah, I googled for other suppliers and saw it was almost double. Except some builder's merchants who have 100m rolls, only about 10cm wide though, but only £4.99. If that is the exact same thing, I might try that since I only use small piece at the moment anyway.

Zed, if you don't want a full roll I could mail you some of mine, either at cost or as an exchange. Postage shouldn't be too expensive as it's very lightweight fabric.

Thanks a lot, Judith, that sounds good. I'll PM you
