Title: Meth, KOH and IPA collection from Dave @ Basic Chemicals
Post by: Tony on September 17, 2014, 08:15:22 PM
Just back from visiting Dave and co, very friendly and helpful - loaded up the Largo for me, didn't need to lift a finger, and gave me a free container for the KOH.  Fantastic customer service!

I collected it in 16x 20l HDPE containers at 56ppl which is more expensive than in 205l drums - had to do so in order to meet the ADR small load exemption.

About £110 per 205 incl delivery

£90 obo for 205 @ Trinity.

Delivery is £45 for 1 or 2 drums but if you can collect it's a bargain. Getting 2 delivered is the same price as Basic. They will usually negotiate if you call them direct so they don't have to pay ebay fees.

In all fairness Dave will deliver to me for free because I'm near a big customer of his.  But because my drive is a crazy slope, it's not possible to accept 205l drums.  I've done it before and it required two people to move one drum and even then it was hard work and a bit risky.  I was getting them delivered to work instead where they have a forklift, but I'v been banned from doing that by the company.
