ToughButterCup Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 £17.64 for a 6m length of rebar - £2.64 per meter? Or am I being a skin-flint? signed Outraged of Lancaster.
MikeSharp01 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Just checked with my last order: 100 x H12 x 6m was £5.82 ex VAT per bar delivered. So I guess you are paying quite a bit over the odds.
Barney12 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 95p per linear metre + vat when I did the workshop base. But that was a year or more ago.
ToughButterCup Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks folks.... It worked. The power of 'Tinernet discussion groups. More than halved the price I was about to be charged 3
jamiehamy Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Sorry, I was in a traffic jam when I posted this. Just to agree that for some reason online prices for Rebar are crazy - I'm not sure why that is because there can't be much money to be had from DIYers paying an inflated price for it as they will rarely buy in any real quantity and no commercial entity will ever pay that price so why bother having it for sale online so expensive? I just ordered rebar for our walls, worked out at £0.62p/m inc VAT and that includes free delivery (50nos. 12mm@6m and 140nos.10mm@3m)
Pete Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Got 12 linear metres of 12mm rebar today from TP's and when I asked how much he said £39.96, my response minus expletives was it was steel not gold I wanted. Sorry he said your discount has not been applied, £14.00 including vat was my bill. I hate having to query every item and I feel really sorry for people who do not have an account.
ToughButterCup Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Quick update: my builder casually said " 'S OK lad, there's a load o' rebah lyin' 'round in 't yard. Help thee sen. Tek 't Landy 'n fetch it". It was a pleasure: driving a lovely Disco 4 - with reversing cameras - was smug-making. (OK, it isn't an Audi Allroad Quattro, but Hell it's better than my 1988 Landy TDI) But I simply had to re-tune his radio to Radio 4 on all the pre-sets. . Well what else is there to do while waiting for the lights to change? So, I'm giving him some (some, not all, I'm not daft) of our over-ordered rebar mesh in exchange. Overall cost? Say £50. Well down from over £1000. A few more cost savings like that would be just the ticket. 1
