Any UK builders want diecast aluminium enclosures?

[amckinley100]

Hi all - in the never ending quest for inexpensive but durable enclosures, i have been browsing the internet, and in general, prices are cut if you order a large quantity of a given item.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone who would want to go in on an order with me - the item i am intending to order is:

Eddystone diecast enclosure 29830PSLA
Dimensions 120mmx95mmx38mm (external.  Essentially the same as the hammond 1590BB)

The price for this is £4.02 per unit provided I order more than 20 boxes.  I'd have to add on delivery to your address also.  Are there any takers?  Let me know and i'll PM you more details

Cheers guys - together we keep this hobby cheaper!

(PS, for comparison, the 1590BB is 119mmX94mmX30mm, so there is slightly more room in the eddystone case, plus the hammond costs £5.66 when ordering more than 20 boxes!)

Oh, and the prices include the VAT...  unless anyone has a way to get round this

I'll take that as a "no" then.....

It's still not too late, but i'd be looking to place an order sometime next week.

Cheers

How much is 4pounds in €? About 1.5?

My supplier (www.conrad.de) sells both eddy's and hammonds for about 5-7€.

Sorry but I've got a pile!  I'm thinking of going over to plastic for my own stuff too.  Out of interest who's the supplier, ESR?

Two questions to answer!

£4 is about EUR6.50...

The supplier is Farnell www.farnell.com- they seem to have a lot of good stuff - and it appears that the quoted price includes delivery by UPS - i've ordered hammond boxes from them before (about £7.50 for the 1590BB and £14 for the 1590DD), and the service was quite good.

Having said that, you never realise if service is good until you have a problem!  That really sorts the men from the boys when it comes to customer service!

Cheers
