Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230 545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Thanks Tony/Shaun! Col - now on The List Got the order, thanks, will go out to you Monday by 1st class post. I deal with Firstaidforsport, they are decent folk, and probably slightly cheaper than me, but I think the Vulkan tape is a bit better. Tony's had both (the first roll I sent you was Mueller, and then the subsequent ones have been Vulkan) so can maybe comment.

99.8 340/220/335 895 Member 1002, 1560 posts	It's personal preference of course, but I disagree. The width Buzz sells is too narrow, in my opinion, and, at £3 a roll, a bit over-priced.

Both good quality. 2 major reasons I'd order from Buzz though 1)his delivery and customer service is second to none, that includes dealings I've had with any internet company not just strength related set ups. 2)he puts back into the sport at every opportunity which to me swings it every time.

Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230 545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	I'm also really good looking! Col_Austin said: I meant no offence by the way Buzz. Too late... No, it's fine, it's good to get feedback. I checked the price if buying a roll of 25mm tape including postage on firstaidsport and it comes to £4.03. Mine is £4.62, so not that much difference. With things like this, I know they import directly. I get mine from UK distributors/suppliers, so the costing is higher. Margin is decent percentage-wise, but when taking into account paypal fees, time packing and shipping the order, and packaging supplies (all of which I don't charge for) it's just not worth it to sell for less. I'm not trying to explain myself or the way I operate, but I think it's good to have transparency in these things. I can get the 38mm tape, but figure the 25mm stuff is the better to stock out of the two, and I don't really sell enough to make it worthwhile stocking both. I don't think anyway.
