I Really Need Glass Scintillation Vials!
Does anyone know where I can get glass preferably borosilicate scintillation vials in the UK. I can't seem to find anywhere apart from companies that
only ship to business addresses
Does anyone have any and are willing to sell them to me. I would buy it from Dr. Bob but unfortunately the shipping from the US to the UK is insane!
Thanks,

It is not that bad if the weight and size is not great. I buy stuff on ebay from the UK often and my only complaint is it takes 6 times longer than
from China. Have no idea why customs holds something from the UK so much longer than from China that one has long been a mystery to me.

Go to some small business and ask if you can have your stuff shipped there, offer them 5bucks or whatever per package.
thats what I do I have my packages shipped to an address in the US the I go pick them up.

that seems like a good idea.
would they really let you ship stuff to them? Any ideas for any businesses that I could use?

I'm going to have to advise against that...seriously, just order them from Ampulla, Rapid or another UK-based company. Less fuss, and potentially less
trouble.
