Any one know where to buy Sodium salicylate, cant find it on google UK, Thanks

[treefingers]

I too am also looking for some sodium salicylate/benzoate sources and would be greateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. So far all I have found have been cosmetic websites where the prices are in the realms of £5-10 per 50g which seems extortionate.

As far as I can figure, benzoates are available because of thier widespread use as a food preservative. Sodium Salicylate is only used as a precursor chemical in pharmaceutical industry ( i.e. multi ton lots ), pyro is the only small quantity use I have heard of.

It is exportable from the U.S., so you could order it up from Skylighter or Firefox, etc.

Thanks I was unaware that firefox could ship to the UK. I've just made a large order.

Camlab sell it, google it.

Not finely milled but makes good whistles when you mill it down.

Well, whatever you do, don't order from KETEN.
He stole me and he seems to be cool about it, he plays dead etc.

Me too, every time I've asked them I've got the same 'Sorry, we can't...'.
Do they really ship to the U.K.?!

They should be able to ship anything that isn't classed as Hazardous... Even hazardous items can be shipped internationally, but it costs a small fortune. Whether or not they can be bothered with the extra hassle is another question altogether : )

That's just the thing though, all they said they could ship was paper/plastic products and no chemicals.

Treefingers, if you don't mind me asking, what did you buy?

Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Salicylate, Red gum Charcoal. I checked and each are listed as green status and are not under ORM-D so i'm assuming they will come through. Saying that I havn't got a conformation for my order yet.

well i put in another order in before christmas and got the usual no replies after i paid, i phoned the guy up (his English is pretty good) and he appologised for the delay and i recieved 2 emails from him on the 21st and 23rd dec with photos of the parcel and tracking info

i think the trick is to just keep phoning this guy till he sends it

I dont suppose anyone has his phone number. I cant find it on his website.

I am fed-up with being ignored by this guy and his site is still being updated, so he must be around!

[Nostromo]

Well you're not the only one who is getting aggrevated. It's like 4 months ago now that he would send my package. I have phoned him a couple times now as he doesn't reply to my mails anymore. He now told me (a week ago now) that he would send it with the regular mail because GLS does not ship small packages anymore. Guess what, nothing showed up, and no email, no call.. nothing. I seriously don't understand this guy. I'll phone him again on monday, or maybe even tomorrow. This is seriously taking the piss

[chris17]

I can't understand this guys actions either. I've ordered from him once, and it took a very long time with quite a few threatening letters before I received my order. It was actually only when I thretened him with a law suit he decided to reply to my messages and eventually send my order. However, when I infomed him that that I got wrong chems in the order, he replaced them quite decently free of charge.
A month ago I requested a quote on a new order. At the same time I asked him to explain why he was acting the way he does. I couldn't get a straight answer this time either. He was just saying something about him being scammed or other bs.

You dont happen to have his phone number do you? I think he has taken it off his website.

If enough people keep relentlessly hasseling him, he might get the message.
