I've already advised him that sending things like Nitrobenzene and Dichromates through the post is putting people at risk. The fact he's still listing them and still using the Royal Mail suggests he isn't concerned.

[RangerOfFire]

I wouldn't be too concerned if I knew that he packed things properly, but I know for a fact that he doesn't.

I ordered some iron oxide and aluminium from him about 4 months ago and it arrived in a very thin plastic bag (the type you'd get free from Tesco ) inside a regular brown envelope.

So how is this guy still trading on eBay?????

[Caramanos2000]

I think that gives us a bad name. I mean I ordered from skylighter and getting the chemicals out was like opening a safe lol. Thats a good thing though.

Still no response from Inoxia! As a new customer, I sent them their customer agreement form and a copy of my driving licence for age verification last Wednesday. No response. I have sent about five emails - no reply. Their telephone number comes back as 'can't connect your call'.

Is anyone else having problems with Inoxia? Have they gone bust?

I'm a bit spooked by sending my driving licence details to someone I don't know who then doesn't even reply.

Maybe email's playing up......

I had an order confirmation email yesterday.
Haven't been asked for the age verification thing, mind you, I didn't order any chems just some dextrin and some safety equipment.
Will try calling them in the morning and see if I get through.
I am sure the guy who runs it is a regular on here so hopefully all will be good.

Tried PMing him, his inbox is full and he hasnt been on the forum for 10 days now.

I know they are above board as I have talked to the owner to become a member of this site.
Just a worry when not a lot happens and no one knows why.

Hello all, sorry for being slow about things at the moment, I'll try to explain why.
Although Inoxia itself, with all the chemicals, stock, packaging etc is kept in our premesis outside of Guildford, I do all the admin side (Processing orders, taking phone calls etc) of things from home. We recently got screwed over by our landlord for being a bit indecisive about moving house, so he let it out to a different group. Because this all happened a bit late the new house we've got doesn't start until 10th August. In the meantime, all my stuff is boxed up and at my parents house, where I'm staying for the 2 month gap. Also there's not enough room for me to live and run the office side of Inoxia so everything has gone a bit to pot. The mobile phone I use as the contact for Inoxia ran out of battery and to be honest I just havn't done anything with it, because all my stuff is so spread out, if I answer a call I doubt I'll be able to answer any question withough rooting through boxes for about 15 minutes.
On the plus side, I've settled down to a routine and orders are going out once a week as usual (Packaged Saturday, posted Monday and / or Tuesday), and if you don't get your order within 10 of placing it something has gone wrong.
Currently there is only one order being held back because of low stock (Shellac, which, as of Wednesday we now have 25kg). There are two orders that paid by cheque waiting to clear (one of which did a round trip with Royal mail because it didn't have a stamp), the rest of the unposted orders were either placed after Friday of last week or are missing a customer agreement and proof of age. If this still doesn't describe your order, something really has gone awry, so please email me with your order number and I'll start rooting through boxes.

Thanks for setting everyone straight.
I know moving can be very stressful without having to worry about anything else.
I was the guy on the phone btw.

Now then a quick question. I have most chemicals that I want in my collection now. But there are a few that seem a little difficult to source in the UK in small quantities.

So my question is have any of you ordered things such as ferrotitanium or titanium powders from Skylighter for delivery to the UK. I know that the cost of shipping is quite high, but if it is a reasonable sized order then it is not to bad.

Now for my second question is there any issue with importing the non hazardous chemicals that skylighter will ship here i.e. are they likely to get siezed by customs and a nasty letter sent?.

I have ordered Ti etc from Skylighter in the past with no problems other than a considerable hole in my wallet.

As I said Finaly got my order from keten, but there are a couple of other items I would like to order from him but the website is down. Does anyone have any information as to what is going on with him?
