    Would you share your source and state whether your price included delivery?

    Hello Lup, I made a mess of my first post so I edited it. I hope that it helps now.

    Price did not include delivery.

    I am new to casting so I just started a Google search till I got a few places to call. Some of them were not interested in dealing with me because my orders would be to small. I have experience, through business in sourcing product. It takes alot of patience at first, but remember that there are firms out there who would be delighted to get your business. Just got to find them.

    I am going to round up a couple of pals here in western Canada to go together on an order when I find the
    "perfect" wholesale supplier. I am looking for 1/3 to 1/2 the price of conventional lead suppliers. I may not get that but I will have some fun trying.

    We will have to order at least 1/2 ton at a time. but that should be easy for small group 2-6 guys.

    Hi Lup. I did share my source and location and I also explained how anyone in any country could find their own Industrial Wholesale supply. Trust me it's not hard. (If I can do it...) Good hunting. Brian

    Hi Brian ...

    I spotted this old thread ... I live near you (Greater Vancouver) and I'm certainly interested in going in on a group purchase of lead. I tried to send you a PM...but your current settings don't allow me to do so. Send me a PM if you read this and are still interested in something like that.

    I had posted earlier in this thread probably about 5 yrs ago now. I have a buddy that works in radiation construction for hospitals and clinics, plus a buddy that gets to tear them down.
