I'm starting a new project but I cant find anywhere that delivers metal to Kings Lynn at a decent price.  Does anyone know where I can get it.
Ive found www.metals4u.co.uk but are there any more that you could reccommend?

How much  :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
as example I ordered 2 off 40x40 x3 box 7,5m long £36 + vat
compare to your link http://www.metals4u.co.uk/detail.asp?Cat_ID=49&Prd_ID=2301

OUCH

Put your overalls on and walk in local steelstock, ask them to cut it into 3/4 pieces and throw them on the roof  :?

Was yours £36 +vat each, or was that for both???

So metals4u are expensive?  Is that what youre saying?

The problem is, I cant find a steel stcokholders around mine in Norfolk (PE33), otherwise thats what I'd do.  I'd much rather give a local the money than an interweb site.

£36 for 2.

If you cant find a stockholder try a small fabrication workshop, they can tag what you need on their order. They will put a few beers on the price (I would ;) ) but should be cheaper than those prices  ;)

The nearest one over hear is Standley Steel in Wymondham. A bit far over for you maybe.
