How good or safe is this www.pyrosupplies.moonfruit.co.uk/ site? looks pretty good but a lot of the chemicals are dear.

Safe i'd say as you get the item next day pretty much as i did and as someone else commented there delivery is rapid! Find the chemicals else where if price is high but after this i trust them!!!

In terms of how 'safe' that site is, I don't see any privacy policy and they obviously flaunt postal regs, both of which could get you into trouble to some degree. Other than that I think they're reliable in terms of delivery. Might pick up a few of those pumps actually.

How do they flaunt postal regs?

Some reasons above as to why its best not to name your suppliers, tut tut tut! people always presume the worst!

It is extremely difficult, in order to technically send fuse, it needs to be an ADR licenced carrier, in order to have an account with an ADR licenced carrier, they like you to be sending more than 3000 parcels a year or something ridiculous, and even if you do, it still works out at something like �25 postage per package, meaning in order to actually buy/sell visco the legal way, you need to order bloody thousands of metres to make it worthwhile.

Now the O.P. has got his fuse,might it not be as well to delete this thread?
I know we are all safe and sane, but suppliers may come under unwanted scrutiny,
I don't like this situation but discretion being the better part....
Only takes one "THINK OF THE CHILDREN"
We all know the deal.

You dont actually have to be an ADR registered driver to transport 1.1G. Once the weight of goods being transported are 50kg or above it is neccecery.

Buisnes Post, TNT, DHL, ANC, UPS all will delivery Class 1.1 expolisves! Not extras needed!

I just had Fed Ex come friday and grab a bottle of R1150 Etheleen for HVAC (my other hobby, cash in hand job) which is highly flamable, @ 320 BAR, expolisve too.

I nor anyone else here has said how this fuse is delivered! You saw it on top of a jiffi bag and naturaly like most forum memebers jump on the bandwagon that it come via RM. I'll tell you now, it didn't!! Stick that in your pipe, smoke it and choke!

Sorry for an assy reply but there is a limit, the hobby is hard enough in the UK, your only going to make it harder!

ADR rules apply at 50kilos for 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Then for 1.4 its 500kilos before ADR rules apply

50 kilos of NEQ of fuse is a lot for one user! 499 kilos NEQ would need a fork lift!

Royal Mail forbids any flammable material. Several couriers and parcel carriers handle 1.x to regs and delivery services.
