Fittings Prices.

I was off the reservation today, doing some work through a recommendation, ran out of 15mm end feed elbows. Long story but tool station gave me 2 packets of straight conns instead of 1 bag st conns and 1 bag elbows.
Anyway the bloke behind counter says good price that 6.25+vat for 25, aye right I said not thinking too much. So 7.50 inc vs the 5.56 inc at tool station. Robbed again.

Plumbcentre, I do.n't use. They've priced themselves right out of the market imo

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i mostly use toolstation, occasionally screwfix and city plumbing

Plumbcenter take the p*ss with the price they charge for just about everything :****:

I've just started using SPS. They beat plumb center hollow on fittings prices and are pretty much on a par with plumbfix with the advantage of being local so no need to wait around for delivery or drive to Eastbourne to collect.
