Shipping in and out of the UK to the EU has become so protracted, complicated and unreliable that it is simply not worth the hassle and inevitable losses to smaller traders like myself, I am not in the least bit surprised to read David's comments above.
My comments are about A7s but I could also have helped Reckkers with his Haggis, in the past.
When I went to the steel stockist in the UK I was told that he had ordered 30 different sections of steel,only 3 available and delivery on the others was then 6-8 weeks.
The other thing he told me there was quotas on steel being brought into the UK.If these were exceeded he had to pay a 25% tarrif to the UK government to release steel from the dock,anyone know if this is true?
He also said the price of some steel had doubled in price.
