Undertrays
Guys an update: I rang Hampsons. They may still have some left, but don't have staff time to go digging to see if/how many they have.
The lady I spoke to is going to try and get someone to go and look, but no guarantees. Maybe one for the future to be followed up, but may not help me in my short term need. Does anyone have any nos units? or a very good condition used one? Thanks Andrew

We spoke to them about these - the problem we had was actually finding a courier to get them from us to our customers (which is the problem with scuttle panels too).
If anyone in another industry has a suggestion for a large-item courier we can use I'm all ears and we'd likely be able to secure a deal for production of these - it's just getting them out which seems to be the issue. So far we've spoken to APC, Caribou, TNT and FedEx - all unwilling to carry something this large but very thin.

A large cardboard box much like the ones used to ship LP records through the mail would be the way to ship these. They could probably be sourced out of the far east along with the trays (Assuming that's where they come from).
As for shippers??? Where I am (Canada) something that size would have to ship via truck freight. That said I had a car lift delivered by UPS. I thought the poor driver was going to blow a gasket getting the cartons off the truck.

It would be great if you could take all of Hampson's remaining stock as that might motivate them to start looking! Simon

My wife recently had something delivered from her work that was thin and fragile, the shipper had put some thin wooden board either side of it. The material was very poor qaulity but it served its purpose and is probably cheap.
I think it came via TNT. |

Has anyone spoke to Hamptons regarding collection? They probably can’t be bothered shipping individual items if low value, but may sell them if collected?
