Cylinder Delivery

by OO7 on 25/01/2012

I’ve given myself the task of delivering 23 x V Size to 23 locations over the next 2 days.

This is not usually my style as I’d rather sub it out to BOC. The client wants the cylinders for 3 months and I don’t want to pay rental on filling kits – so DIY.

Once I get to the first drop each location is only 3 – 4 miles apart so @ £35 a delivery I can live with that.

Also….. I might collect a few part fulls at the end of the contract.

On the subject of cylinders – has anybody got any AP empties – I need 3, probably best to email me direct on this.

    Hi Dave
    Not spoken for yonks! I have empty 20l cylinder not sure who’s twist knob on top purple head?
    Watched your video arch making this morning. Have just joined facebook!! Thought it might help with the business. Years behind.
    Your gas price is cheap although I use N20′s.
    Are you going to the Spring Fair it would be nice to meet up for a drink.

    Hey Liz

    Great to hear from you and thanks for posting.

    I don’t know what a 201 cylinder is? – I’m after N10, N20 N30. I was lucky enough to pick one up today so now I’m only 2 out.

    The price quoted in the article of £35+vat is just the delivery price (not the cylinder price).

    I don’t usually bother with the Spring Fair – but this year it might be different. As the High Street struggles and certain shop chains have built up massive depts with people like Amsan….. it’s possible Amscan might be interested in talking to the small guys (like they did 10 years ago).

    I found in the past they were looking over your shoulder not really interested in you or your small turnover, they wanted to talk to Birthdays or ASDA. It might be different this year?

    Cheers David
