If Ashbys is easy for you to get to then as far as I know they are ok then I would use them. Obviously with the internet it is now much easier to get products but it is also good to build up a relationship with a local supplier.

Personally I live about 6 miles from Chemspec Head Office so I go there as it is far easier to just bob in rather than have to buy on the internet. You can also bend there ear over problems/new products etc.

I'm pretty much out in the sticks so its mostly on-line mail order for purchases. I have used a number of suppliers and in all honesty wouldnt say any of the people I have dealt with are slow to deliver and 99/100 its next day.

However, there are variations on prices, delivery charges and minimum order quantities for free delivery, so keep an eye out for bottom line.

Post by: Eddie Conroy on May 23, 2007, 10:26:05 pm: I like dealing with Ashby's and use some of their Chemicals, They also stock a good range of Prochem and Stapro products amongst others. You also can get very good advice whilst there. However I do not want to pay carriage on my small one off needs and I am not disciplined enough to order in £100 amounts which I believe avoids the carriage charge.
So if I am going to their Dartford office for equipment needs / repair I will buy chemicals from there. If not I use a local supplier who gives me a 15 % discount.
