    Hi all

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there is anywhere in the midlands (oxford-shire witney) where you can buy blank sublimation printables.
    I am living in Ireland and there is no where to buy blanks,My parents are going to see family members in Witney on Wednesday and they were going to see if they can get me some blanks as i am doing a bit of sublimation printing.
    Or is it all buy on line.
    Maby you cant just go into a place and buy these things…Can you??
    Sorry if it is a stupid question.But if anybody knows you lot will.
    Thanks a million in advanced.
    Louise 🙂

    Not sure if there is a place in the Midlands, but most of the big players will have a physical store where you can see, feel, touch, get advice on all the sublimation blanks. There are places around Bournemouth, Anglesey, Derby, Norfolk and other parts.

    Have you contacted xpres, novachrome, listawood or any other suppliers yet? what kind of carriage charges are they quoting you?

    Hi
    I have got a box of mugs from a company and it cost an extra £4.00 for ordering the box of mugs and another £8.50 for delivery and then vat on top of that.So it worked out expensive enough in the end.
    And that was only for 1 box of 36 mugs.
    Then i had to put the sterling into their bank account and the charge from this side was crazy.
    I got charged the rate (which was fine) and then got charges a fee also.
    So in the end it cost me around 75 euros.

    Presumably you are in Southern Ireland if you are paying in Euros. The cost of getting goods is going to be expensive, but the cost of delivery will lower, as a percentage of your order, as you buy more items. Most companies should take card payments from you. Delivery costs vary, but you should be able to get 3 cases of mugs delivered into Southern Ireland for less than £30 (ex vat). I know some courier companies will take up to 50kg in one package to Europe so get the mugs packed up well and add some other items as well to maximise the weight/ courier cost balance.
