Pocster Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Ok , I can’t find any timber left on my site ( cls or similar for stud ) Wickes have some but no delivery - can’t collect in a smart car ! Looked online - but struggling to find any suppliers operating and with national delivery . Anyone found a source ?? Edited April 8, 2020 by pocster
vivienz Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Do you know anyone with a Bradfords trade account? They're still delivering, but not sure what quantities. 1

Pocster Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 ‘Dug up’ some metal stud - will use and mix with what timber I have for additional strength where required

They have an ebay operation here: http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/Ron-Currie-and-Sons-Ltd which may have a different price structure, but that online shop is currently not operating.

Will over order to about 100 quids worth -delivery £50 . I’ll just do it . Will recoup the extra delivery cost when I sell my walk on glazing ?
Pocster Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 It is me isn’t it ! Can you believe it ! My builders merchants just called me !! Said they plan to open Thursday next week . Though only 3 in the store at a time . I asked him what stock was like , he said not great . I hope everyone is happy that I’ve bought expensive timber and all your BM’s will be open !
JFDIY Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. (Not sure I've said that to the right person.......might get misconstrued ) 1

Oz07 Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I'm short of all skirting and arc after a cancelled delivery when merchants shut down after coronavirus. I could have got it all somewhere else for 30% extra. Was initially a no brainer. Then I thought why overpay to give myself a few days work when most others are in the same boat. 30% extra of everything to finish a place off adds up.
