[nickL]

get back to you all soon

nick

[nickL]

ok tasadam

can you give me the number of the wholesaler - i may convince them to sell me some direct or they can at least direct me quickly to the S.A. suppplier

cheers
nick

[optdyl]

will do a hunt around to see if i can get a bunch of people interested

G'day Nick,

I'd be keen for a meter or two.

Give me a yell when you have details!

Cheers

[tasadam]

NickL, PM sent.

As I said earlier,

I had some interest from a member, I have sent a PM but it has not been read yet.
My supplier (in Hobart) has a roll that is being held on to, if anyone is interested in buying it to sell to forum members by the metre, PM me.

That PM has not been read yet, so I am getting the roll myself and it will be available once I have it.

Will update here once available, and will PM members interested as per the last few posts.

[tasadam]

I now have a 30 metre roll of Tyvek, selling per metre. Rather than the 2.7 metre standard width, this roll is 3 metres wide.
This means I will have to work out postage costs on an order by order basis, I don't yet know how much it weighs per metre.
Postage costs will only be whatever the post office charges, no handling fee.

I will be PM'ing these people to confirm they still want some (in order of expression of interest date),
(From a PM) -

and there's any left, I'd love to put in a request for some

You're first...

hi adam
what sort of supplier sells the tyvek as i may be interested in buying some in south australia - will do a hunt around to see if i can get a bunch of people interested
what are the dimensions of a roll and how much are most people usually interested in
cheers
nick

If you didn't buy a roll yourself and still need some, you're second...

nickL if you get some put me down for 7 metres, I will do two tents with it.

You're third...

i would be interested in about 6 meters if it is still up for grabs.... does anyone have the tyvek tape also? Let me know when someone has some spare please...

You're 4th... No Tyvek tape sorry.

G'day Nick,
I'd be keen for a meter or two.
Give me a yell when you have details!
Cheers

You're 5th...

(from a PM) -

I reckon 2 mtrs would be ample.

You're 6th...

Then I will see what I have left.

The price per metre for this roll is $6 plus postage, remember this roll is 3 metres long. Bargain!

[north-north-west]

I'd love some, but atm arranging payment might be a bit awkward.

[tasadam]

I'm just in the process of preparing PM's to send out to outstanding orders. I have weighed the tyvek and it comes in at a whisker under 200 grams per metre.

So for up to 2 metres, the postage to anywhere in Australia via a 500g Parcel Post Satchel is $6
For 3 or more metres it will be $10.30 so long as it fits in a 3kg Parcel Post Satchel.

This makes 2 metres $18 delivered
3 metres $28.30 delivered
4 metres $34.30 delivered.

And at the moment I have over 10 metres left.

[capcam]

Also looking for about 2m with postage to Brisbane.

[bartshaz]

Hi,

I would like 2m, if there's some left.

Thanks,

Shaz

[tasadam]

Also looking for about 2m with postage to Brisbane.

I would like 2m, if there's some left.

PM's sent.

[climberman]

PM sent Adam, if I haven't been too late.

[tasadam]

All tyvek sold, I think. If I have enough left to sell once I've finished cutting I will update here.
Feel free to add expressions of interest, if there is enough interest I could always buy another roll.

[Rick]

Hi Adam, I know I am too late but if you do get enough interest for more I would be after 2m also!

Cheers
Rick

[Moondog55]

I may be interested in 3 meters as well, it may serve as a quick shell fabric for my warm-up parka project

[Rolfe]

Hi, I would be interested in 1-3 metres if you get some more.
Cheers

[tasadam]

Note to self from a PM, so all the expressions of interest are here in this topic...

Was also wondering if you still have any tyvtek left.
a friend was saying he will want 3m too if you are still selling. he's not a member here, so i used this to PM you directly.


thanks

That makes for interest in 11 metres and there is 30 metres in a roll...
Keep them coming, it might happen - either by me or another member.
I cannot buy the Tyvek wholesale any more, but I have a number of contacts that I might be able to get it through locally.

[Moondog55]

Why not the ability to purchase wholesale?? I have an ABN I am happy for you to use ( My name of course ) if that would help.
What weight is this particular Tyvek again??
Have you seen anything about the new reflective Tyvek/ It has one side with shiny reflective aluminium on it
Regards
TedM

[recurveron]

Interested in 2m , if you get another order together.

[tasadam]

Expressions of interest so far...
Last updated 22nd September 2010
Ninjapuppet's friend - 3 metres
Rick - 2 metres
Moondog55 - 3 metres
Rolfe - up to 3 metres
recurveron - 3 metres (confirmed interest)
stgill - 2 metres
Area54 - 3 metres or thereabouts, nothing too exact.......
ausrandoman - 3 metres
bazl - 3 metres

I think that's it, let me know here if you want some too (or if you're no longer interested).
That's 26 metres... I'm currently trying to get the time to call into the local Tyvek suppliers & see what I can work out.

[Moondog55]

Better count me out, They are building a house next door and I have been promised the window cut=outs, that will be good enough for my experiment

[Rick]

Just confirming Adam that I will definitely want 2m!

Thanks
Rick

[tasadam]

From a PM

Tasadam

If you're still looking to offload some Tyvek, you can put me down for 2 metres. Just let me know how much and how to get it to you.

Added to the list.

3000mm length for me please.

[ausrandoman]

Another 3 metres here, please.

[recurveron]

Still interested in 2m
