I used to buy local, but half the time they would never answer the phone.
One day I tried about 5 times to ring them and then had a look on eeebay.
The last lot off eeebay was about 44 for two rolls of 100m x 1200mm small bubbles.
Inc VAT and delivery.
Quite lot lot less than I was paying.
The only slight niggle is that the bubbles are on the wrong side.
That is, it's wound with the bubbles facing out which makes it slightly
awkward to use.

That's an absolute killer. I like a bargain more than most, but sometimes things are just too awkward...

We get ours from www.globepackaging.co.uk - prices seem comparable to those quoted above. Free delivery if you order around 3 rolls.

I use this https://www.davpack.co.uk/protective-pa ... pc=CDBS-12

It seems expensive but they are 200m rolls so buying 5 rolls of the 1200mm wide is equivalent to £21 for a 100m long rolls. They have the advantage of being about the same size as normal bubble wrap 100m rolls so there is less changing of the rolls. The bubbles are really strong and best of all it tears perfectly straight by hand. :D
