Most shippers now charge more in the run up to Christmas. We now have to pay an average of £1.50 per parcel more. Hobarts will not, however, be passing this additional cost on to our customers.
Unfortunately, we are unable to do this with items of 1200x600mm where the cost of manual handling has risen dramatically. Charges for UK mainland start at £15.55 for up to 20kg and this increases to £20.50 in remote areas.
The University of Cambridge continue a happy relationship with Hobarts

Hobarts are extremely pleased to continue working with the prestigious University of Cambridge and the Department of Architecture. Helping to accommodate the University with two brand new laser cutters.
The University of Cambridge purchased 2x VLS6.60 – 50 watt laser cutters from Hobarts 3 years ago which have proved invaluable to the Faculty of Architecture & History of Art Department, constantly being used on a daily basis. So much so the University have replaced these lasers with two brand new VLS6.60 – 50 watt lasers, to help cope with the high demands of the students.
The Department of Architecture (in the University of Cambridge) has again purchased two VLS6.60 – 50 Watt Universal Lasers Systems’ laser cutters with dedicated dust extractors from Hobarts. The previous machines were used extensively by undergraduates, graduates and researchers and had given the Department many hours of interrupted use. The machines have proven so popular and reliable with all of the users that there are insufficient hours in the day. If space and funds were unlimited, the Department would be more than happy to acquire additional and possibly larger devices.
Coupled with the excellent levels of service and support and the friendly relationship that has developed, the Department did not hesitate in renewing the relationship with Hobarts.

Hobarts are delighted to continue a close working relationship with the University and wish them well with their new laser cutters.
Cuts very nicely on a cnc with the right end mill. Also cuts very well on a laser, think glassy polished edge. The matt finish is very classy and hard wearing, unlike gloss acrylic that marks way too easily. Personally can't see myself using gloss acrylics again after using this matt option. Very impressed.
Engraves very well and end result looks superb. Thanks to Sally the service was also excellent, and it’s nice to know your custom is genuinely appreciated
