I was told the wintecs one isn't crush proof????

Let me know if I'm wrong,.. it is a great price,... although I've heard rave reviews about Gardiner's new microbore recently.

Hi Guys

Just to confirm our price is £44 (not £63) + VAT + Delivery for 100 metres.  We have this specially manufactured to our exact specification.

We've had one reel of this last for nearly 5 years (is that a record?)!

Hi Marcus

Sorry about that - I thought both prices quoted were before VAT and Delivery.  Wintecs is £36.25 in total then? Bargain!

Hi Bazzy1999

Yes, you are absolutely right.

wintecs is free delivery if over £30 (Alex are you taking note  ;D)

so £36.25 plus VAT = £45.29 Delivered

Well if it's the right quality, then it's a bit of a bargain.  If we offered free delivery then the children would have no shoes to wear to school  :)

So will we get free deliveries when the kids up and leave? Or will you be keeping it to pay for the world cruise?  ;D

You only get what you pay for lads,... I doubt very much that the wintecs one is the same quality!

that comment can be true in alot of ways, but.. (there is a but..)
not in others: some people make money from this day in day out. An example go to your local diy place 2x2 timber £4 a  length go to another outlet the same thing could be £2.50 so the same thing, so it is not always you get what you pay for. This is simple a fact on a item that you can buy from anywhere... Some have to charge more to cover costs they have, some just make a load of money on a low selling item. Window cleaning services on the other hand is a totally different kettle of fish with the service you can or cannot get.

Hi NWH

You're right, I don't make a penny out of microbore!  If you're interested (but I'm sure you're not - it is Sunday morning!) I've copied the following topic:

http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=41994.msg334034#msg334034

However, if the company started losing money by giving away free delivery as well as the smallest profit margins in the business, ultimately I would lose money.  So don't go suggesting free delivery to Kirsty!  ;)

Don't you just love Wintecs "click to enlarge" pics, it opens a new window but with the same size pic ::)
So where it says "PVC braided yellow microbore 20bar" the pic looks like a few rolls of black and grey twin and earth electrical wire....useless :P
