Cheapest source of linear rails and bearings in the UK?

[Mad Professor]

I buy most of my parts from Chai, as of yet I have not had any fees.

It's a bit hit and miss with the fees. Unfortunately mine don't tend to miss nowadays. The VAT is in a way fair enough, but I object to paying Fedex £10 handling fee for a no doubt automated system and a letter...

I got mine from chai late last year and paid £17 pounds in Fedex charges BUT compared to buying the stuff in the UK, saved well over 50%. I've only had one dealing with chai but he was very responsive, changed the order for me and I got the stuff within 2 weeks, all straight and delivered ok. He was recommended by the folks on the forum here and I'm glad I listened to them!

I think they assume that when you have paid a few times you must be a buisness and may be on their system as such so will mostly get charged, why dont you see if you can get it sent to a friends house and see if they miss it.
