EVA Block Supplier required Urgently

Hi All,

I have tried all of the sponsors and can't find anyone that does EVA blocks.

Mudhole is the only one but they don't stock white blocks.

I have used craft foam but there are just too many issues, which I have already stated in an earlier post.

The only person I know of is Billy V, which I had sent an order through to, but the devastation he and his city has encountered put an end to this. Looking at the images he posted, he has a lot of very urgent matters to attend to first - and I wish him all the best with it.

I need to finish 3 rods by Christmas and I have no more options.

Any leads would be great.

P.S. I have tried some non-sponsors but they haven't responded to me in 4 days - great service.

I am in Australia, so I have to also contend with a few weeks shipping, which is just going to make things even harder.

Thanks,

Richard

Richard,
Since you are in Australia, you might contact one of these suppliers:

they may be able to supply what you need very quickly.

Even if this supplier does not have exactly what you want; they may be in a position to obtain exactly what you want.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for all those links. I have actually tried all of the AUS links, but they only sell in 1 meter x 1 meter sections, at an average cost of $200 a piece.

The Alibaba is usually sold in minimum qty of 500 units.

Harry, I actually sent Billy an order just before the storm moved in, but he was out of town, and as you may have seen in earlier posts, his shop is destroyed.

I received an email from Pat from Rods for Soldiers, who is trying to help me out, which I am very gratefully to.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

Isaiah, Versitex don't have white unfortunately.

Jeff, I find the Merrick Tackle website hard to get my head around.

Harry, Pat from Rods for Soldiers has very kindly been able to help me.

Billy, I don't expect you to do anything else but get your life back on track.

Hopefully I should have what I need in a few weeks.

Thanks to all those how tried to help out.

Richard
