    Try the usual Lee Valley Sanding - Lee Valley Tools - Woodworking Tools, Gardening Tools, Hardware Supplies they always have a fantatstic service and various delivery options. Problem with sandpaper is it's heavy in bulk so may push up your postage. I had around 5kg posted UPS from Lee Valley that arrived in 4 days which came to $150 just for postage, though still saved me $300 after all costs if i was to buy the exact same gear in Perth so well worth it!

    Compare the Lee Valley prices with The Sandpaperman's on line prices. I think you'll find that in this case, buying locally is less expensive.

    Is a couple of dollars perceived saving while sending good aussie dollars offshore worth screwing over those good suppliers trying to eke out a living here in Oz?
    Here is another down to earth guy with a good range who supports local woodworkers.
    Why not give Michael a go?
    Here is the link to his sandpaper pages

    Arry has asked us a question and not our opinion, I think we should respect his choice. Lets not open up this can of worms, each to their own
