Wetplatesupplies.com is closing

Wetplatesupplies.com is closing.

Today I am announcing the very sad news in that wetplatesupplies.com will be closing its doors. The past year has seen a marked decline in sales due to the Covid pandemic and as such I’ve had to go and find myself other employment to make ends meet. This linked with supply issues and huge delays from our suppliers has meant that I’ve had to make the difficult decision to put more focus into the other side of my chemical business and my ‘day job’.

We realise that for you, as a user of our chemistry, it may make it more difficult to get hold of your supplies from now on, but if anyone out there is interested in investing and taking on wetplatesupplies.com as a going concern then please contact me as soon as possible.

I will be reducing prices on the website in steps until all stock is sold off, we will not be getting new stock in so if you’re after something then please get it at the earliest convenient time as many of the items we sell may not be available easily from any other suppliers. I will also be listing some more items as I find them when sorting through our stock so, please keep an eye on the website and on our Facebook page where I will update as often as I can. If there is sufficient demand however, I may take pre orders for aluminium plates and silver nitrate for delivery once everything else is sold off as I realise that these items may be on your shopping lists.

It's been amazing to meet and chat to so many of you over the years and hopefully I'll be able to meet up with more of you in the future..

I saw this in my emails today. Such a shame but we all have to do what's best for ourselves. The best of luck to him in whatever he chooses to get in to.

The was a post either here or another forum a year or so ago that the company was for sale.

Has anyone tried ordering recently? I checked with Kevin in December and tried to place an order two weeks ago but a computer issue prevented me from completing the purchase. I called but go response and sent an email likewise. I have tried calling again but still no response. I hope all is well.

I got some inkjet paper from him a couple of weeks ago but no answer to an email I sent him last week.

The site shows a lot of the stock is gone, maybe he's just taking a break from selling off the rest.

It is a shame but hopefully he's enjoyed his time running the business and is ready for the next adventure.
