Anyone in or near Chester

As said, looking for a member in or near Chester, am looking to bid on some gas fuel cells but cannot be posted, so hoping we can relay them via members, no hurry at all, bidding does not end for six days anyway, and plenty of time after that, Rick

Smack in the centre of Chester.
Where in Chester are they?

I can start the chain.

I also travel around the northwest, North Wales and Shropshire with work, so connecting with others should be easy enough.

Is there a reason that they can't be posted? OK I can understand from a supplier, but by the time it is placed in a deep cardboard box, and labelled inappropriately and packed with a few empty coke bottles ...

Wet lead acid batteries are shipped, so too are lithium batteries, caustic etc

Just a thought.

I have to admit I have not checked it out with other shippers, I tend to use myhermes and they will not ship, these are gas canisters with butane in them so I can understand unwillingness, Rick

I had a quick look too, most of the majors look unwilling.
You certainly need to correctly label the goods, if an incident happened, and if this was discovered, it would have serious repercussions.

Amazon are able to ship packs of 12 camping gas cannisters, etc, but "individuals" are treated with more restriction.
