Zebra Billy group buy

[AJB]

Hi

I know this is a cop out, I don’t have the time or contacts to do this, but I wondered if anyone had considered doing a Zebra Billy group buy? I’m sure there would be a lot of interest.

having just done one for kelly kettles (last few days......) i volunteer NOT to run it
i've learned my lesson.

I am sure if you do a search through the threads there was a posting of a really cheap Uk supplier. Their prices make a group buy a waste of time. I got one from them and it was a few £ only. I think their prices might have gone up but they would still be hard to beat.


Oh and the rule is if you think of a group buy you have to run it

Made this about a year ago - didn't checked if the prices are still the same, but it gives you an idea. I know the Woodlore prices have changed (same price for a 14 or a 16cm billy)

I'm with John (MagiKelly) regarding the groupbuy, though if one is started I'm definately in with 1 or 2 (depending if my mate is interested).

Yes I saw that and I rang Stockpots – they had put their prises up at the time I rang due to the demand!

Woodlore look good until you include their new shipping rates!

Yes, for that money I'd want Ray to walk the darned thing round to my house by 10am the next day



Stockpots looks like the best plan - best bet is to phone 'em

I found the zebra site on google but they say as yet that they don't sell online outside of Thailand and no details of the UK importer but they make some other http://www.zebra-head.com/en/product/lstProductGroup.asp?subcategoryid=0000000006 nice kit for camping

Hi,

try http://www.culinox.co.uk they appear quite good, I'm not sure about postage as I haven't used them myself. Hope this helps mate, they also have the billy tea pot which looks nice.

looks the best bet at the moment - just wish i'd ordered from there when all sizes were a tenner!

cullinox look the answer but curiously they are a trading arm of stockpots who don't charge postage

I fancy the 10cm cup with lid, although I wonder if the lid of my 10cm Billy would fit it.

Also if you add the mug and lid to your cart the price shows us as £12.99 not £7.99. If you add the mug without the lid the price shows up as £- so that seems like a bargain

If anyone chooses to run a group buy, please PM me as I have some info that I do not want to post as it could cause the importer to meltdown if everyone calls him asking for trade prices.

I'm contemplating buying myself a Zebra Billy, as my current billy can is a bit battered these days.

Question is - what size to go for?

A quick look at the Zebra homepage gives me capacities and sizes:

10cm = 700ml
12cm = 1.4l
14cm = 2l
16cm = 3l

(all pots are approx 2cm taller than their diameter - e.g 10cm pot is 11.8cm tall).

I reckon that the 12cm one would probably suit me best, as I'll mostly be cooking for myself, but occasionally for 2 folk - but I was looking for people's own experiences - did you buy the 16 but never use it more than half-full? Did you buy the 10cm and wish you'd gone a wee bit bigger - any comments gratefully accepted

 

[MagiKelly]

I have a 10cm which is okay for solo but can be a bit small. I also have the 12cm and 14 cm I go when they were on special offer but I have never really used them. In fact i think the 14cm is still in the box. I think you would probably be best with the 12cm one but as always it is a balance between size and convenience.

If you are going to be at a meet up soon you can have a look at mine and we can probably agree a deal as well.

Looks like http://www.culinox.co.uk are out of most of their billy tins now.

Rang me up to cancel my order as they were totally out of 14cm tins
