26 Mar 2020: COVID19: We are now closed due to lack of courier services

24 Mar 2020: Covid19: Yes we are open but ensure you read our Covid19 Impact page before considering placing an order

15/Mar/2020 Local Pickup is no longer an option

1/Feb/2020: Due to the current situation in China we have halted all restocking activities for now, so we may run low/out on more products than usual over the next few months.  (We have plenty of 2020, 2040, 2060, 2080 extrusion)
