I've just noticed that Xpres (probably under pressure) has re-opened for online orders only. I don't believe the DSF discount works online but who cares as I would rather have certain stock and lose a few quid.

I had heard that Ralawise will open after Easter again. Slowly things will get back to normal.

Will that depend on the lockdown ending by then? I haven't heared anything from the Govt. that suggests we will be allowed out anytime soon.
With 80% of the wages being paid by the govt., I can't see there being enough trade to warrent opening.

Shouldnt think so. Lockdown will probably stay in place until end of April at the earliest.

The gov keep saying that you should work if you can - either from home, or if you can't, and can safely work from preemies you should. I would assume a lot of sublimaters work from home, so will want to keep going. If self employed you are allowed to keep trading and claim your 80%

Looks like Ralawise are only 'partially' open - direct shipments from some suppliers, not from their own warehouses. Min quantities and spend 'may apply'.

Probably OK if you need quantity of a line, but no good if you need a range of single items from several brands.
