Default Lead dumbell eyes

Hi all
Can anybody tell me where I can get some lead dumbell eyes in MICRO size.
I have found a couple of places but they want £2-£5 p&p.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks Gaz

Try Celtic Fly Craft. I think they're doing free P+P at the moment !

Do you not consider £2 reasonable for the effort? Or more particularly the effort you save yourself? It's a bargain versus getting in the car and farking about looking for them!

Hi
no I don't find £2 unreasonable for postage & packing and have myself spent double that. But when I am only after 1 pkt of eyes at a cost of maybe £ 1.50
I cant justify paying double sometimes treble that for the postage.
If I cant find postage free, I will wait until I need to order more materials and order them at the same time.
I was just after Lead eyes for this weekend if I could get them.

Thanks Gaz
