240 sounds a bit steep for hardox. I have only bought 1 sq m, 5mm off Gary for around 100 pounds including P&P.
What about 4mm I heard its cheaper? Or must you use 3.2?
Im curious as in a few months time I will be ordering some hardox.

I believe the £120 p+p is for 1 sq meter of floor area on the back of a flat bed lorry.

jl steel want £65+vat p+p per pallet size order.
You can get up to 1250 X 1250 on a pallet.
the 4mm hardox is £91 + vat for 1250 x 1250
or £61 + vat for 1000 x 1000.
they said i can have more than 1 sheet on a pallet per order if anyone else requires some.
the reason i did want 3.2 was last year i got 1mt sq from gilbert grimm, 4mm is 31.4kgs per mt sq and puts my weight over !

i bought 4 sheets of 1000mm by 500mm from Abba commercials and it cost me £210. they were good enough to wrap it and post it which cost around £20 if i remember. Which is nice

JL dont deal with 3.2mm

Sounds like hardox has dropped since I last bought some

I have just spoken to gilbert and yes abbacomm is the place to go for 3.2mm, he says thats what iron awe 5+6 are made off and he has no probs.
It looks a bit more expencive but 4mm is to heavy
and to tough !!
I will call them tomorrow at work and let you all know the costs, I might ask them to cut and bend my flipper plate to save me time as I want to test at leicester in 3 weeks.
