Alternate Uk Tool Supplier To Tandy Leather Factory?

[YogiBear]

I'm wondering if there are any other suppliers for various tools and rivets ect than tandy? As i find there 10% of item cost shipping appalling and would like an alternative but after hours of searching have come up with nothing, also if any leatherworkers in the UK are selling tools then i would be happy to make an offer, Thanks

I have never been disappointed with anything I've bought from them, and their shipping is very reasonable

Call Roy Fisher at your Tandy store and ask him about the shipping - ordering on the web forces them to be generous with the shipping, but most Tandy stores in the US charges actual shipping on web order - mostly less than what you see on your initial order.
