    Wickes do 400x400 ones for £2.08 (delivery on top) - they aren't that thick but if price is really an issue they may be worth a look.

    B&Q are doing a special offer on a 'once it's gone, it's gone' deal on paving slabs, starting 31st May and whilst stocks last. 400 x 400 "Riven" paving slabs for £1 each.

    HTH

    have you got a Travis Perkins Fencing/landscape specialist centre near you?

    i went there and got them to agree a fairly substantial discount, which my local store then honoured. I got them to quote for the patio and the block paving for the drive, but ended up only getting the slabs.

    Bri , you mean DO CONSIDER EBAY DISCOUNT SUPPLIERS , or DONT use them ?

    I mean't just don't forget to try ebay, ie, count them out because many seem to simply factor product from major builders merchants, often at far greater discounts than you can get direct from your local yard.;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    I've also heard they're cack. Thin and brittle. There's often a reason things are sold very cheap...

    i went for 175 marshalls smooth richmond @ £459.99 and was given free delivery as well even though my postal code was out of area ,very pleased , considering the same slabs were at TP for loads as per first post

    have you had your slabs yet?

    when you rang up how flexible were they with delivery dates?

    I want some block paving and am going to order over the weekend so will be speaking to them next week
