I ordered 6mtr lengths of pipe, but Flocon have asked if I can have them cut to 3mtr, why?
Unfortunately, courier companies are becoming less inclined to carry 6mtr lengths of pipe and tube. Subsequently, delivering 6 mtr lengths can cause significant delays to your order.
3mtr lengths however, can be packaged via pallet and couriered within a reasonable time frame.
