Aluminium Warehouse now doing more brass sections

[Alan Wood 4Participant @alanwood4]

AW have extended their stock holding of brass sections.   Mostly seem to be CZ121.  Not cheap but then brass has rocketed.

I had need a couple of days ago to order some aluminium plate to replace a piece I’d managed to mess up. I thought I’d ordered it from AW but when I put it in the basket I found they had a minimum charge of £30. Changing the order to two pieces took me marginally over that so I pressed the buy now button only to find that P&P was an extra £24.95!  At this point I withdrew from the transaction.  After consulting my mate Google, I found the site I had actually used before – 1st Choice Metals.  I bought a piece of plate, had it cut to size (for free) and had the choice of them recycling the off-cuts or including them in with my order. Naturally I chose the latter.  P&P £3.95 via Royal Mail. Don’t know whether they deal in brass – I didn’t look.
So, watch out for high postage costs if you can’t pick up from Aluminium Warehouse.

These relatively high carriage charges seem to be intended for commercial buyers of large quantities. Practice varies greatly; a recent £71 purchase from Spa Cycles came FOC.

Maybe time for them to change/modify their company name?
