Just been on the brodex site to buy the 7ft hydra, get to the shipping page and they want £15.30 heavy goods postage for a 3ft pole.

i can make do without it for now, have done for the last 6 months.


i can't remember paying that much postage when i bought my 25ft form them, but i did need it in a hurry.

I ordered 2 poles from them last monday and was charged £15+ for delivery, when i'd paid up the guy then says delivery will be between 7-10 days because you've only ordered the special offer poles They arrived today : and i only live 30 miles from their unit  Strange but don't think i'll be dealing with them much in the future.

The brodex is 4ft closed and 7ft extended. As i need my 25ft about 1ft out (so 7ft) when i do my park homes.

Spend over £45 + vat and get free postage

[Blue Frog Systems]

On gardiners, went through to the checkout

£8 vat + £8 postage ish .... may have added a connector on im not sure

Yeah you are right just seen that £28 + vat sounds like a good deal

[gto]

think i may get one of these and borrow the brush off my spare pole for now.

[gto]

just went to order one and read through the specs again, closed it 2'3" extended in 1.25m so just over 4ft
(the reach of 9ft is including you)
i dont think it will be long enough to get me over flower beds.

Where abouts are you gto ?

I've got the brodex pole your after and would swop for a 4ft clx (bare pole - with hose)

I'll even throw in a brush, plastic angle adaptor & a metal goose neck

[gto]

I live in northamptonshire, a bit far from you.
But if your interested in selling the brodex and can post it let me know. Thanks

Carriage costs can seem expensive, but have you worked out a mile for mile comparison if you were to pick it up yourself?
£15 seems pretty good to me and as it can be put on your business expenses.
Transport companies have overheads too :

i have sent 25kg 3ft x 3ft parcels from my house, picked up by courier for £7.
so £15 is on the hi side for a pole thats less than 2kg.
