no handling charge and excluding VAT...no minimum usage too. What will my invoice show that i already have,nt told youAny fee on collection (handling charge)?
Minimum annual usage?
Plus or inc. vat?
That's about the same-ish rental as on volkzone for pureshield (not argoshield) but refill is well under half price. Seeing as 'the deal' is already discounted from standard price anyway, I hope you can see why it's being questioned. How about a scan of the invoice with personal details blacked? anyone can type some numbers
...you either believe or not,either way with the greatest respect i could,nt give a rats a$$$e.Iff your looking for the same deal then PM me your number or email and ile give you the local reps details and you can hammer a deal with him like i had too

Are there any 90 degree adapters that allow a side entry reg to be used on a bottle with a straight up valve? Reason I ask is I'm looking at a welder that comes with a flow meter reg but it's side valve and I don't really want to spend 20 quid on a new reg if I can spend a fiver on an adapter to make the free reg fit the bottle

depends on your bar pressure guage on your co2 but in line with safety id rather buy a new valve
i wouldnt use it as rather get a proper regulator

It is a proper argon reg, but it's a side valve one. All I am looking for it a 90 degree elbow

Well, I am happy with 40 odd quid rental and 30 odd quid refills, a bottle should last me a while

ah ok mate i see what you mean,If I wanted to see the normal price I can look at my own invoice
Thing is, when I spoke to BOC direct and referred to the thread(/s) stating things like £8 refills for argoshield they said those prices were only possible for relatively high volume users (or those that have many different gases supplied - and yes, I know they did actually read the threads because they quoted sections of posts to me on the phone).
What I was after was something a bit more 'substantial' to use as a bargaining chip with them
TBH the price im paying now is fantastic and way better value than hobby bottles etc.
