    I usually get it cut free of charge but I do know one company who would charge you. However they sell mainly cheapo chinese vinyl anyway

    i would have thought 24inch would be an off the shelf size these days.
    why charging to cut a full roll down when suppliers will sell vinyl by the metre is a bit odd.

    I buy a lot of vinyl at 610mm width which is 24". Its a standard size that most suppliers list in their price list.

    Having said that we have it easy with vinyl as in the window film supply trade we pay for nearly every cut length or roll slitting.

    Seems like they are trying to rip you off to me, name the company to see if they have charged other people on here or just you?
