![]() 670 forum posts 53 photos | Many thanks indeed for taking the time to reply. I had previously tried to contact Schoeller Bleckman and Aircraft Materials UK Ltd, neither of whom have returned my emails. I can understand if they don't do prototype quantities. They are in the business of selling metals though, so you'd think they would at least get back to me to find out how much I need. |

2742 forum posts 39 photos | Hello Carl, Sadly many businesses are spammed out with email and have given up trying to salvage any gold from the dross. If they have a reply service through their website that will usually get attention, but as has been said, the direct approach is the one to use Another possible supplier is one I've used with success www.metals4U.co.uk with these people you can order on line or by phone and they will cater for smaller orders.

![]() 670 forum posts 53 photos | Hello Gents, Thank you for all your replies. The two companies I tried to contact had email reply dervices in their contact pages. I'd say that 90% of the firms I've got in touch with in the past (not just for metals) have got back to me in this way. I take your point about spam though. However you'd think if they have an email reply service with a standard form to fill in then that should obviate the problem? Oh well. Thanks again for all the replies. I will look into tw metals. |
