Title: Powder coated enclosures in or to Europe?
Post by: Rockhorst on May 16, 2015, 11:30:44 PM
A few years ago, Ben Coles and Stevie1556 offered some powder coated enclosures shipped from the UK. Major saving compared to PPP international shipping (to the Netherlands for 10 boxes, including taxes and the abismal state of the Euro, it totals at about $25 per enclosure which is ludicrous). I'm having a hard time reaching Steve. Banzai and similar companies offer boxes, but only in very basic colors. Also, the Banzai ones are 'bulk' which means they are full of dings and splotches. I've tried that once, totally not acceptable.

Soooooo...the question is...anyone know a good supplier with reasonable shipping and a nice choice of colors? Or should I just start saving $300 for some boxes.

Maybe its cheaper to get some bare enclosures and look for a place that does powder coating instead?

Are you from the Netherlands too? I'm from Nijmegen.
