Post subject:  Share purchase of plumbing fittings - Brisbane members

I am going to be making an order with http://www.wetearth.com.au/start.asp for some bits an pieces for my system extension. Their prices are great compared to B and the pumbing shops, the only downside is the shipping cost, which to Brisbane is a flat $17. Not much has to be purchased to recoup the $17 through savings.

As the next Brisbane AP meet in coming up in mid January, I thought it might be worthwhile seeing if any other Brisbane people were interested in getting some stuff from this mob, in which case we could go a combined order and split the postage.

Let me know if you are interested, and then we can talk about what you need etc.

they are definately good prices. Wish I had have known about that site prior to spending $500 on fittings for system 1. Just another excuse to do system 2 I reckon!

I knew about it but still bought lots of overpriced stuff from B and the like. The challenge of buying online like this is you need to be sure of what you want, so planning becomes crucial - something I am not good at.

Those prices are very cheap F&F - but the place I am speaking of is a bit cheaper.

Did you get your stuff from a shop that has a full range of fittings?

Hi vb, only prob I have with "wetearth" is as you said, there fittings etc are labelled cat(xx) so never bothered with them as it is too easy to order the wrong item

I think I have been able to work it all out from the pics and descriptions. I reckon I have at least one of most pieces here - so they look pretty familiar :lol:
