Can you let me know what basic charged per drum / delivery?

I did not call them.

Julian it is best to talk to Dave in person about deliveries, as he can sometimes (if you're prepared to wait) piggy back delivery on the back of a major order to a company local to you, and thus give excellent prices including delivery. But quoting them on the forum wouldn't necessarily be representative of his usual prices, if you see what I mean.

Dave is a very helpful chap - he's definitely "one of us" and gives a monkeys about us little guys, can't recommend him enough!

I agree Tony its a more personal service than spread sheets in exel.
I remember one of our members a while back wouldn't telephone Dave cos he thought emails were the proper way to do business.
I like Dave at Basic Chemicals he does business in the old fashioned way.

Can you tell me your per-drum price please?

I just called basic, but Dave was not in, and noone else could tell me the price.

Probably a bit irrelevent as Bonnymanns have not had any for a while, but curious as to what was crazy about their pricing?
Bought an IBC from them in february to try and get costs down and it was £419 all told. 41.9ppl

julianf · « **Reply #11 on:** July 25, 2013, 06:35:00 PM »

The price was not great to start with, and then they wanted an IBC 'deposit' - which is fair enough.
But, my understanding of 'deposit' is that you get the cash back at the end. Alas, their understanding is different, as they apply a fixed 'depreciation' charge of aprox 1/3rd of the deposit (IIRC). So, effectivly, there's the price, but then you have to add on 1/3rd of the deposit cost also.

In the other companies i called up, some had single trip ibcs, some had reusable ones, and deposits etc. but none of the others had this sort of additional charge.

Can't agree more about Dave - very personable, great prices - what more can you want.
