more like sheer volume of complaints!


I must confess that I did go to the Complaint section when my order passed the 90 limit and still I had received nothing, I feel certain that others have done the same, and of course by Doing so, you bring about Extra attention to this seller.

there`s no way I was going to be ripped off for nearly 60 quid though!

EDIT: and while I`m at it, as this thread seems to be getting a little derailed, Back to topic... I read about on here that a Nitric acid source was needed so a small contribution: http://www.growell.c...Management.html (it`s the second from the bottom), they also do an 81% Phosphoric acid too.
Please don`t abuse this service though, that way we can ALL enjoy it for a long time :)

Sorry to butt in, but does anybody know what's happened to Inoxia? They are not answering emails and their phone number is unobtainable...

I live 30miles from guildford, and we barely got any rain, let a lone powercuts or flooding. I know Steve has fallen out of contact before, but it was resolved quickly.

To put this into perspective, IMO there is quite a difference between someone mailing charcoal powder (which is a flammable solid) in the mail, and someone mailing Nitrobenzene in a glass container housed in a jiffy bag. The first may technically be flaunting the regs but wouldn't concern me atall, but the second is most definitely putting people at serious risk. I also seriously doubt that a single individual 'sticking their oar in' could've lead to this guy being banned, more like sheer volume of complaints!


I agree, posting benzene and other highly toxic and dangerous chemicals is not on.

I was considering buying some aluminium powder, magnalium and some fuse off of hobbychem. Anyone comment on the quality of the products and the delivery time. They also say that age verification might be required, how did you do this?

Also, 888malc still seems to be trading to me... search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfrtsZ0QQsassZ888malc

I have used hobbychem numerous times, all extreemly satisfactorially.
The Al and Mg/Al is excellent although it is REALLY expensive. Also, it is shipped illegaly...
Hope this helps!

Regards,

Mike

I can supply the magnalium now and I think its cheaper than hobbychem. I will also be able to supply the aluminium soon too.

Have a look at my page linked to my signature and send me a mesage from the web page saying what u want.

Oh my god! No way, thats asking for trouble, I guess he posts via Royal mail. I think I feel an email coming on explaining this is quite serious, if one of our postal workers got some of this on them and ingested it, well dont bear to think! Thanks for the heads up.
