I buy stuff from China but as Justin said these chinease suppliyers are not that cheap and not worth the hassel for some items . Slates are hevy and shipping cost a bit so perfer a UK suppliyer . Thanks for the input .
Just to clarify, I seem to remember it was 'cheaper' getting them shipped into UK than buying in the UK, what I meant was it was still cheaper doing it yourself but you need to use sea shipping rather than air to keep costs down.

As a happy medium the freight trains from China are a happy medium cost wise and a lot quicker than the ship, even more so when you factor in the huge problems at sea freight terminals recently

Thanks Justin for the clarificaton I miss read you . I agree with you if you find the correct suppliyer it works out cheaper ..I have used train before Simon and it works out cheaper and quicker but last time it took 6 weeks may be due to Covid . Ive got a quote for 1000 slates sea shipping cost about $1300 and also spoked to Nail Bothers and they seems to be not bad really for bulk orders . Desided to buy from them as I need them quick .

Paul I know the bad guys they are from Wembly and I hate them for what they have done for many ppl .Thanks again ..

Sadly it is a common occurrence. Work really hard on either becoming an official licensee or create your own designs only to have some low life tea leaf come and steal from you. Even had them on here defending their actions and boast about passing the "trade" on to other family members.

I’ve heard about them never bothered to buy or even look at their website .

Anyway I’ve bought a big qty from Nail brothers , so quick delivery seems to be quality products and quick and professional on replying to emails etc . So far the best ppl I dealt with in regards to pricess and service wise .Thanks for refereeing them to me .

Formerly Wembley next to that big market. The counterfeiters moved to Watford.
