  • recommended supplier ‘trade’ prices for 3D & internal LE

    Posted by David Rogers on July 11, 2011 at 9:31 am

    Just had a quote back from one of the suppliers in the drop down list.

    3 letters – 470mm high – SANSERIF FONT – (50-80 returns) attached image.

    £740 +VAT

    Delivery – £340 +VAT (LOL)

    Now I don’t mind paying a reasonable sum for each letter, but £250 EACH at ‘trade’ prices is a joke and if you can’t wrap up a few letters well enough to send by courier.

    So – anyone used a quality supplier who’s a little more reasonable in their prices.

    Fabricut, Applelec etc… lots on the toolbar….

    i would imagine the delivery is wrong, but the price of the letters may just reflect on how they have to be illuminated. e.g. front lit & halo lit. metal letters, powder coated to colour spec, size of returns, how its to be fitted etc etc

    no matter how "we" may guess the costs, we don’t manufacture.

    personally, use your emailing system to your advantage.
    send out the same email once, but put multiple carbon copy addresses in it and they will all come back with prices.
