Royal Mail they use

cheers, arrived about half an hour after I posted, the mailman had passed the house at 11am so I figured delivery was going to remain a mystery.
Typical, stalked the postie for a different delivery which didn't turn up and the PVA arrived when I was in the shed rolling some bait. The neighbour had taken it in.

I'd emailed CC for details and got no reply

Any idea which carrier Carp Craze use?
I ordered last week, the tracking details offer nothing besides 'on its way'.
Not particularly impressed , kinda expect something more for the Godiva delivery charge that Shopify chucks on at the basket.

Per other comments it depends on the pellets. In the winter I tend to use low oil Coppens pellets from the pet shop and I make a load of these up before each session. In the summer I use much oilier pellets so tend to make them up on the bank as otherwise the oil sinks into the mesh and impacts the dissolve rate, I also find it causes the mesh to tighten significantly, which can be a good thing but will then rip if left for too long (I've made a bait box full of them in the past and forgot about them for a few months)

I do enough to get going , then do the rest as I go. I can do them so quickly now, it's not worth them going saggy by doing a load, imho.

I typically use crushed boilies etc but I guess the same applies

Will depend on how much oil is in the pellets you use

Slightly unrelated to the topic in a way, but does anyone mass tie PVA mesh baits? Does it have an effect on the PVA over time? Or does it still tend to dissolve the same

I won a match and got a huge load of castaway PVA. Took me 3 years to get through but I was really impressed with it

Esp for me for mesh and Korda for solid bags. Never found anything better then these two and have tried a huge amount.

I find that a lot of PVA leaves a really nasty taste in your mouth then they melt

Also use the Gardner slow melt solid bags for when I'm fishing in Thailand.

Esp for me. Best stuff I've used by far, use the mesh all the time.

Agreed. Even in these temps the mesh dissolves pretty quickly.
Great value for money imo on bulk deals.

Bags either Korda or Bank Tackle ( although not used these in super cold weather yet) PVA nuggets either from work so not a clue or Early learning centre multicoloured jobbies.
