Aluminium supply

Does it have to be by post?

Look in yellow pages for a local stockholder, most will deliver and quite often take credit cards. I use AAlco solent who will also cut blanks to my requirements which can save a lot of home workshop time. I think AAlco have quite a few branches around the country. Mind you I have had to reject some 0.5mm Ally sheet twice recently cos they could not pack it properly so it stayed flat, undented and unscratched in transit. For small quantities you could try the metal supermarket franchise chain but they are seriously expensive and not sure if they deliver.

I think that may vary between branches. Our local one (Coventry) was considerably cheaper than a local steel stockholders, and had the material two days quicker (which was actually more important than the price). Just goes to prove it's always worth getting a couple of quotes.
