Hi All

Looking for suppliers of 70m2 INdian Sandstone and my local suppliers charge £410 a 17m2 pack !!!

I then came across these people on Ebay -

They work out a lot cheaper but whats the quality like ? The feedback seems ok.

Any thoughts on this peeps

Cheers

I also found this company along with a few others on ebay when I was looking a little while back.
Like you I found I was asking myself the same questions.
Is it rubbish or are you buying the same stuff that other independant companies have but they have to charge more because of their operating costs and profit expectations.
The only way is if you're lucky enough to get a first hand recommendation. Asking on here is a start, just hope you're lucky.
From what I can gather the pro's have built relationships with their suppliers and wouldn't want to chance ebay.
After all the cost is eventually filters down to the customer and I suppose you're better off the customers paying extra and being satisfied rather them getting a cheaper job but with a inferior finish.

Sorry that doesn't answer your question but here's some more reading.
