Buying chemistry apparatus online
I am quite new here so I'm unsure wether there is already another topic like this somewhere else but I couldn't find one, anyway I've been looking for
websites that sell chemistry apparatus and reagents to amateurs in the UK the best I've found so far is some sellers on amazon but I'm still unable to
find either a good balance or gas burner on there. any others I've found only seem to sell to schools or professionals.
I was wondering if anybody knew any better places to get chemistry apparatus online any contribution would be helpful.

Does Elemental Scientific ship to the UK? I looked on their site, but couldn't find any information on the subject.

I've heard really good stuff about laboy and I'd buy glassware from their site or their ebay store after looking at shipping details. Yes, it's
imported, but the value is worth it from what everyone says about them. Quality varies a lot among other china suppliers.
I think http://www.thelabwarehouse.com/ is/was an offshoot of A J Cope, a long established company in the UK. They stock a lot of lab stuff but the
prices are lab prices and the big equipment simply isn't affordable for an amateur. Things can be difficult to find and may be called something odd.
They have Pyrex brand quickfit glassware too but it's deep in the catalogue. I'd buy burners, aspirators ("Water jet filter pump") that sort of
thing, from them.
I've not ordered from either before, but these are people I plan to buy from.
Reagents are a different story, there are a few UK companies that sell to anyone, but what they stock tends to be very disappointing and a bit random.
Importing from the euro zone is probably the best way to source obscure reagents.

I can't believe I overlooked eBay, for some reason I never thought about it. I will definitely give eBay sellers a closer look. The lab warehouse
seems good as does laboy and elemental scientific although I couldn't find anything on shipping to the UK either.
Thanks for the suggestions so far

Obviously because you didn't try. Asking for spoon-feeding is not a good way to introduce yourself. [closed]
