U.K. Soap Bases HELP!

[PurpleMolly]

Hi everyone. We have a new soaper on our Melt & Pour Soap Crafters facebook page who is looking to start off by buying small amounts of bases from craft/hobby stores. She has asked whether any of us have any experience with Hobby Craft Spa soap bases ... as we're in Australia (largely) we don't have the experience to offer her advice or an opinion. Our first suggestion was to buy from Bramble Berry but she doesn't want to buy online as she is initially looking at small amounts to see if she likes it.
Is there anyone on the forum who may be able to help with some shopping advice?
Thanks in advance!
