Replacement (external) timber window sill

I'm trying to source a replacement sill for a sash window, but it's proving a bit trickier than I thought to find something "off the shelf" cut with a suitable profile.

This sort of thing: https://www.builderdepot.co.uk/70mm-x-145mm-hardwood-meranti-box-sill

but from somewhere which is either Edinburgh-ish or will deliver for reasonable price. Nothing in the obvious DIY sheds, Travis Perkins has something which is almost right but is out of stock anyway.

Am I missing anywhere which doesn't have an obvious web presence?

    Something with "reasonable" prices :D

    Personally am sick of looking and not finding unless bespoke and that's when prices go crazy!!

    So much to read, so little time.

    It was more the reasonably-priced delivery I was talking about (I found somewhere in London willing to deliver but for a price suggesting they'd be making a special journey just with my bit of wood...).
