Europarts absorbent granules.

Post by Eric Williams »

Hi all, any body acquired and used the above granules as alternative to Tesco cat litter ? Thanks. Not everybody uses this material. Can anyone suggest a compost without it ? Thanks

Not from Europarts but from a similar motor factots. It was dusty but exactly the same grain size and consistency.

Yes it is just the same.

Trying to buy some on eBay the other day and it seems a lot more expensive than last time (£8, iirc).

Seems it is all nearly double that, but I did manage to get some for less, but a different brand.

Europarts online is probably cheapest now - why didn't I look there..... :oops:, but you might need to order more than one bag if you want to try and get free postage.

Europarts absorbent granules
exactly the same stuff I have used it for a few years now.
Last time click n collect was cheaper but check if there are any vouchers on line for free delivery or discount, sometimes it helps to register on the site.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Try to get it with a voucher code. Euro Car Parts have them almost every week, although the current one doesn't seem to help with the granules.

Not sure what they're doing with delivery charges at the moment. Standard delivery used to be free for just about everything and same day free for over £15 (or less?), which always seemed crazy to me. Now they are charging £3.95 for standard delivery and £1.95 for same day, both free over £15. Strange.

Hi Patrick,yes I believe that's the one mentioned on this forum some time ago. Perhaps Tina can verify it via the picture if possible ? Thanks all.

Yes, that's the one.
I used some last year and have just restocked - free delivery if you order 2 bags. No discount with a discount code.
Same day free delivery (for my postcode anyway) arrived the next day...

Amazing service, I ordered 3 bags of this yesterday from Eurocarparts at about 8:30pm, and they were delivered at 9:45 this morning! £8.59 per bag, free delivery.

Now where can I get some JI No 3 on the same timescale....? Saw some today, 5 bags 25 litres each, and they wanted £79.95. Sheer profiteering.
