That doesn't seem overly expensive, but I haven't ordered small flat bar in a while, last I got was 100*6 and that was about 18+vat delivered for 6~m.

If its local? then the delivery is expensive at 4 thousand and twenty pound

£4.20 delivery is pretty cheap,delivery by me at half a mile away is £10.

30x8 flat comes in 6m lengths as standard so are you paying a bit more for 3m lengths?

I'd expect to pay 4-5 quid for a 6m length but we are trade.

If you have been quoted for 3 Mtr lengths its possible they have quoted you for bright mild steel, as stated by Paul, black/hot rolled with be 6 mtr. If it is bright you should check the price as i think you will find that price is per meter and not length. I have not bought any mild for a long while but i cant see that being per length if its bright. Check with them before you hand over any money.




Kind regards,


Scott

Thank you for your replies.
I managed to get 30x6mm black/hot rolled for £8 per 6 mtr
and 10mm bar per 6mtr fo £5 .
They cut it into 3 mtr lengths at no charge. so I could get it in the car,
Thanks again.





Kind regards,

I used these guys a few times. Got my stainless flat bar from them and it was great service and best price I could get compared to up here.

You have to sacrifice a chicken, and dance around a welding bench, singing alleluia, to find out steel prices.
