Try direct plastics.
What size do you need?
Get mine from Amari plastics.
im looking for 20mm (seems to be the popular one) in anything bigger than a4 size as its going to form the majority of the chassis of my robot and i dont own a welder and the only local one wanted a small fortune to do what i wanted in steel box section and i have to work out of my living room and i dont think the carpets are fireproof and apparently all you need to work hdpe is a jigsaw and a drill feel free to call me foolish and correct me
£5 a kilo and a P&P of £25.
This P&P is up to 40 kg, and a max size of 990*500. (inculding packaging)
Sending over smaller or lighter packages won't change P&P a lot.
how many kilos is 3 sheets of 500x500 ??Quote:

£33 doesn't seem too bad for 500*500*20mm
3* 500x500*20=14.5 kg.
3 sheets of 500*500 with Direct Plastics are £81.54, P&P free.
Is £5.6 per kilo.
thanks very muchly everyone
