Right gunna get some materials in for the weekend just a quick q:
One place can do TYPE1 40mm, he said its not MOT type1 so any ideal what it is and if it would be any use?

Heres the delivered prices for 1 jumbo bag of MOT Type1:
<span style='font-family:Courier'>Meakins 40.08 (Type 1 40mm not MOT)
Travis Perkins 45.74 via an ebay chap
Buildbase 54.65
Travis Perkins 55.93
Jewson 57.60
Wickes 61.83
SIG Express 62.00
Keyline 62.68</span>

What sort of prices are you chaps paying? I realise 1 or 2 bags isnt going to qualify for much discount. lol. If the ebay chap can do it for 45 quid using his TP trade discount I think I'll have to see how much I can haggle it down to from them direct

They all came back with prices higher than the BMs as its such a small qty.

I think I'll have to go with the ebay guy unless it is ok to use 40mm scalpings from Meakins?

Being delivered tomorrow

let the barrow run commence

where those prices plus vat or not?

my travis account says, inc the vat

MOT TYPE 1 BULK BAG (938251)
Minimum weight for this product is 855.00 kg per Bag Â£33.81 BG

sucks to be retail

Thanks GB

They were inc VAT and I rolled in delivery which was a tenner from TP, sure does suck to be retail.

I guess the ebay chap has the same discount as you so he's just throwing a fiver on there to get himself some extra cash. A fairly easy way to go about it if you have the trade discount I guess?

GB lives oop north
zzr matt lives in the south east
that explains an awful lot in price difference
I have 4.6 tonnes of type1 MOT being delivered tomorrow and that is costing me Â£124 +VAT
you are paying more for the haulage than anything matt

It's off website so anywhere in uk, but most is fuel we are in a big quarrying area so can get it lot cheaper.
