Prusament in the UK?

I'm trying to get my hands on Prusament in the UK, specifically ASA Galaxy Black. Are there any authorised resellers? I'm struggling to find it listed anywhere in the UK, and whilst Prusa shipping is reasonable for the distance involved, it's still a lot relative to the cost of a spool.

 

Cheers.

Best Answer by Dave J:

I know what you are saying, but carriage is based on weight and size, not value.

Delivery from Prusa by Hermes (2-4 days) is £5.36 inc VAT for 1 spool, and £7.42 inc VAT for 6 spools. This is very competitive.

Say I were to get you a spool when I place an order, you would pay £1.24 to get it to the UK (1 of 6 spools), then £3.10 to get it delivered to your address on mainland UK (small parcel under 2Kg), this does not including packing and a trip to the Post Office for me.

At these prices, I can't see anyone stocking Prusament in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, there is no money in it.

I've seen Prusament listed on ebay occasionally, but I think they were one off sales. I don't think there are any UK resellers.

It's fair to say I hadn't appreciated this (more fool me) as I just saw the 10 - 20 euros and was put off when I only wanted a spool of asa. In light of what you've said though that's much more appealing! Thanks
