Simple BOC question

[gordon stephenson]

Not done much due to health (or lack of) lately, just about ready to start doing a little, 20ltr Y bottle from BOC, Do we still get a better price being on the hobby deal? Cheers, Gordon,

the collection charge makes it a lot more expensive if you only have one cylinder (or change them individually), that way the pureshield is £66 a cylinder and agroshield £52 a cylinder (both plus vat). it wasnt so long ago that this was introduced, but it may make rent free more attractive as the idea with BOC was you had low cylinder charges if you use alot.

thought that was though the post....Ive a had a look through my junk post and that explains why I didnt find it... it was an email.

If there's any possibility that you're not going to use more than one cylinder a year then I think there are better deals around. After donkeys yrs with BOC I did the sums on a bottle and a half/Yr added in the fact that my local depot closed (nearest BOĆ now 90min round trip) and swapped from BOC to SGS who have 2 suppliers within 20mins,one on the way to the workshop. Worth having a look around. You get a little less gas with SGS but it worked out better for me.
