Lads (and lasses), help me out here!
I thought the zebra billies would be back on the market by mid-July. It seems not.
Can anyone help me to find zebra billys that I can buy just now?
Thanks for any help.

Well the site allows you to go through to the payment screen, so hopefully that indicates they have some in stock:rolleyes:

That's no guarantee - very few shopping cart systems have a live stock feature, and those that do aren't usually kept up to date by vendors. I'd give Roger a call if I were you.

From what I have heard Zebra Billies will become harder to find in the future due to some restrictions/stipulations that are being made, so people will be rather unwilling to import them.

That's a fair comment.

Why do you need this brand, there are other, very good options (and a lot cheaper) around. No offence to Zebra can users, but I think they are over priced for what they are, the're nothing to write home about at the end of the day

I've been using this set up for over 30 years without problem

sundog want $41 to post 2 billys to the UK !

Dont think so.

The shipping on items from the UK to the US are outrageous too. I think it is because of some tariff agreements, I sent a small package that was heavy to a friend in the UK and it was over $100 to mail.

I use a stainless biscuit tin with two holes drilled in sides and a bent coat hanger wire as a handle. Tolal cost £4. Works dam well. Mine has the same capacity as a zebra and has withstood fire, flame and general neglect.

Have a look at the link below or just visit charity shops, its the kind of thing that gets thrown out after 5 years for not being shinny enough!

I'm all for making stuff yourself, but to me the Zebra's aren't actually an expensive item of kit - not in the grand scheme of things.
Not worth paying daft shipping for maybe, but UK RRP isn't going to break the bank - I can't even get a couple of Pizzas for less than that round these parts!
