Default shops that sell glass sliders?

Anyone know of any shops in birmingham or no further than 20 miles out of birmingham which sell glass sliders?

We really need some for our vivs but we're a bit wary of buying offline so would prefer to it if shops sold them. Would it even be worth asking reptile shops if they sell them?

Thanks in advance for any help

It's just because this is technically my mums computer and she doesn't like shopping online and wouldn't allow me to buy anything off of ebay as she doesn't feel safe doing so.

But yh i'm going to try some hardware stores

Don't you have a mate that you could ask to buy them for you, or go to an internet cafe / library ?

You could spend ages trawling around DIY stores and not finding what you want, or you could just go on eBay on a mate's computer and get exactly what you need right now, there are plenty of reputable traders on there selling viv components.

The viv bits bloke on ebay is the one who i just had my runners, handles, ceramics and hole cutter off.

He even gave me £2.50 refund due to postage not deducting right at checkout which was very honest of him so I would recommend him to anyone.
