Try your local drinks supplier for the clubs and pubs in your area that's where I get my gas from if they are willing to swap your bottle you only have to pay for the gas.

BOC - Bunch Of Cunts

As you said they don't open on Weekends are expensive, the only reason I stay with them is because I got a discount put on my account through 16v mini club, but that offer has closed to new entries now.

I dont suppose you have a Bedford Battery branch round your area, they are about £70 for lifetime bottle hire and refills are cheaper than BOC

I seriously doubt it!

Interesting....

I've just looked up the prices for those nearest to me who display the prices online and the L11 size cylinder - which is pretty much the same size as a BOC "x" size - are about £150 initial purchase and £40 for subsequent exchanges.

They do a smaller cylinder (just under half the size) which is presumably cheaper, but no-one near me keeps that one.

I can't find my latest BOC price list but I've just been direct debited for my yearly rental at £109, BUT, that is for a BOC "Y" size (twice the capacity) and BOC don't list their prices online so I'll have to have a hunt around for the list they send me every year, or ring them up to make a real comparison.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

The albee looks ok very long term 6+ years, others are cheaper for bottle rental but they are 3 or 5 years not lifetime like the albee

http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=591078

just sign up an account on here (just incase they didn’t ask me for a username but they

might)

Okay... This is still going. I just got off the phone from them (21 Jan 2013)

The deal is for the Y size (20L) cylinder and it's ArgoLite MIG welding gas.

The rental is £35.80 per year.

Refills are £24.52 (+1.92 enviroment charge).

These prices are PLUS VAT @ 20%

There is NO handling fee.

I phoned 0800 587 5868 which is their sales line. I said:

"Hi, I'm a member of Volkszone and I hear you have a welding gas offer"..

They knew exactly what I meant and put me through to accounts to set it up. They

took all my details over the phone, did a quick credit check and I'm now waiting for the

email to come through so I can print off, sign and send back. Then they will give me an

account number so I can collect my gas.

You can pay direct debit, monthly or annually.

You can pay when you collect the gas.

Within 15 minutes, I have had the email, scanned and returned it and they called me

back with my account number ready to take to my BOC stockists.

All done in an hour
