I wonder if anyone happens to know if EPE foam sheets are sold in Christchurch? Any colour is ok.

Normally I get them from Auckland, but the shipping for 7 large sheets was nearly $300 a couple of years ago, and I imagine it's even higher now, so I thought it'd be good to check again for alternatives.

A quick Google throws up Para Rubber.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Thanks! Apologies I should have said I saw them too. They offer 120cm x 120cm x 2.5cm for $153.98, but to compare with Auckland I can get nearly double the size for under $100 (120cm x 230cm x 2.5cm for $96.28). Just of course then there's the freight :D Probably bringing them from Auckland will still work out the best, but thought I'd check here too in case there's any local businesses that happen to do it and perhaps they don't really advertise online.

Have you tried Para for pricing of the sheet sizes you require? They may do better pricing for full sheets without any cutting charges added on.

Also, LEP Plastics, Award, and Mulford in Christchurch might be worth a try.

Yes it would have been good if you had given more info in your OP. 😀
