For you guys out there that are with boc, I've also heard they've come good with their prices because of bunnings but they aren't changing them for anyone with current bottle hire unless you ring and ask. I'll definitely be ringing the buggers, they've been over charging for years.
Yep they signed me up on a "D Plan", which is $165 for a D size argon cyl for 12 months with a free refill. but after you use your 2 cyl's it's roughly $165 for another cyl of argon.
Now all the practice welding I did and the 5 ss flange sections I've done, i've used up pretty much all of the 2 cyl's in the d plan. So as BOC want another 160ish for another d cyl or they reckon $168 for an E cylinder plus the rental, I'm not sure if I just ditch BOC now and go grab the bunnings cyl...
edit: Oh yeah bunnings cyls are a $200 deposit thats kept by them for the whole time you have their cyl; and its a swap and go for each refil for $99. Oh and when you first start and pay your $200 you still pay $99 for the first cyl of gas.
