Default Can you believe it -- aluminum unavailable in NZL!

Owch! Those are *crazy* prices -- and that's before freight!

The last sheet I bought (8' x 4') was just NZ$130 (which is US$70 at
today's rates).



McMaster is not the place for metals you would buy from a metals supplier. But McMaster
is a place where you can get about everything. I don't think Mcmaster will export to
anyone other than long existing customers now. It just wasn't worth the hassle.

I'd check US metal sales firms like metalexpress and others to see if they are willing to
do the export paperwork. That is the real problem.

What is your target size you need? What would it cost to ship it to you? Maybe someone
would be willing to help you out.
