East Coast US/Canada suppliers

Post by Stephen Richard »

I am looking for a glass and supplies distributor located on the east coast of the US or Canada who can/is able to export glass and supplies to the UK. Are there any suggestions?

Steve- your very simple query is dripping with frustration! There are several distributors that I deal with (or know about) but you'll have to contact them for overseas shipping info: Bendheim, Sunshine, Rainbow, Hollander. Does location in the US matter that much when it comes to UK shipping?

the ones Marty mentioned are good and I've also used Art Glass House in Fl to go overseas. depends on how much you want and when. Prices can vary a lot. Finding the right consolidater/broker that can put it in their container is the real quest.

Thanks Marty for your suggestions. The difference between East and West coast seems to be about 50% more in transport costs. So, it does have some relevance, but as you suggest maybe not prime relevance.

And Yes, Marty.
One of those you mention is one I have been using for a while, but now is less satisfactory. So, I am on the hunt for a different one.
