After some assistance if anyone can help.

Does anyone know of a company with stocks of Disposable powder free nitrile gloves Cat 3, non sterile in L & XL where they are not an absolute rip off?

Been let down by regular supplier and others who claim they have and then unable to supply or waiting for container to arrive or our order gets reallocated to NHS (fair enough) or people charging 3-5 times normal prices and Im getting fed up having the same conversation every day.

Looking for 10-20000 but would take smaller quantities.

If anyone knows of anywhere to try I’d appreciate a message.

Also struggling to get some Honeywell supervisor browguards if anyone knows a source?



Cheers

To jump on this if thats ok, a lot of my customers are preparing to get ready for work and are all asking for PPE.

We supply gloves which we are being allocated a small % of each container that comes in from the supplier but it's less than we used to sell per month before all of this kicked off now everyone wants 10 x the amount.

If anyone knows (might be the million dollar question) of a good source that has stock for gloves, masks, and hand sanitisers please let me know!

has nitrile glove production been affected in Malaysia? I.e. Units exported?

I've been told because of the social distancing factories are working at 50% in Malaysia currently so just can't keep up with the demand.

Plus a 30% price increase!

I have a supplier producing a mountain of masks, though I don't hold any stock. Generally the minimum order is pretty big (100,000 with payment up front and delivery possible within 14 days) but just in case, how many masks do you need?

I could do with 5000 masks and 100,000 gloves (not boxes) ideally!

Can't match that need but I need PP2s and Tyvek suits for my warehouse guys

Really struggling to find someone who has them in stock now and our regular guys have none and other companies won't take on new customers.

I probably can't help for those quantities, but I'll bear you in mind if a 'spare' box ends up in my garage!

Just seen this thread - if anyone finds a good face mask supplier please let me know.
My wife runs a hair salon and theres no way she can re-open without them.
2 months ago a box of 50 facemasks was around £4-5 plus VAT. Now you're looking at £50 a box. That's one hell of an increase.

Currently trying to get quote from companies on Alibaba in China though we'd be nervous in terms of paying to an unknown entity with likely little or no come back.

Same with nitrile gloves, with the public etc buying them, it stops people who actually need them for thier bread and butter.

Its a nightmare, I buy 1000 nitrile gloves at a time for my business the strong ones and prices have pretty much tripled or more in many places and very little stock anywhere.

I'd suggest something but someone would undoubtedly cry butthurt to the mods

Stupid situation here - I didn't clamour to buy masks when our beloved leaders who are never wrong declared them unnecessaryscratchchin and have no idea where I could obtain them now - but since this pantomine began I've been into the homes of several people requiring urgent electrical repair who are isolating and some grade of vulnerable due to age/post op, and I'm unable to offer them the apparent safety/reassurance of wearing a mask.

Then you see twazzocks driving their enclosed cars with masks on. I hope to god my own suspicions that we're colossally overreacting is correct.

What's the cheapest price people are finding for N95 masks?

Quantities of 500 masks at a time?

Can't find them at all in that quantity, best we've found is 50 for £42 frown
