I've been checking HeartlandVapes for the 100x 30ml bottle package, but they're always out of stock when I check. Are there any other places to get them at this price ($38.49 shipped to be exact)?
LDPE?
You can do 500 for under $100 and I think sometimes there are coupons: http://www.ecigexpress.com/wholesale-e-cig/wholesale-e-liquid-bottles/30ml-childproof-dropper-bottle-ldpe-500-wholesale.html
How is the quality of these bottles? Would you feel okay selling them in a B&M?
I hate choosing a new vendor for bottles because I always find something wrong with them. My last order of 3000 10mL bottles were fine, but the dropper tops hole was way too small so you would have to squeeze super hard just to get a single drop. So I had to take like a full day and use a sharp rod to poke holes in all of them.
Then I tried 30mL Amber Glass bottles which worked wonderfully, but they leaked like crazy unless they were sitting on a table or something. No transporting them.
I haven't tried them, unfortunately.
For retail purposes you need to call a bottle distributor direct and discuss your concerns and get a guarantee of specs. You will pay 10% more but you'll not have to deal with making droppers wider!
Ugh that is a nightmare.
Yeah I checked out Container and Packaging most recently and I see that they offer a sample to be sent first. That seems like a really good idea.
It also seems like the same bottles from Heartland Vapes, and the price is pretty good too. Probably going to get a sample of the 15mL and 30mL.
And yeah, those droppers were a nightmare haha.
Ive only bought bottles from these guys, super cheap and they're not far from me so i get them in 2 days after order. Great quality and never once had an issue with leaking or faulty droppers. Liked them enough i ordered 500 LDPE, bought about 50 glass first run and they're great! Fine point tips on the LDPE which is nice for drippers or tanks. Only problem is they have a major stocking issue, i ordered 500 so i didnt have to wait anymore, waited about 2-3 months for them to stock those bottles, but they sent them out the next day with free shipping!
You probably have just been getting there at unlucky times. They usually manage to keep stock, and they've got the best quality LDPE bottles for that pricepoint IMO.
www.usplastics.com the shipping is like..10.76 but the bottles are cheap enough you may be able to get 100 for less than 27 bucks
$53 + shipping for 100 bottles it looks like. Yikes. Normally that's not a bad price, but I'm trying to see how much I can cut costs.
Based on my math and the prices I paid for my materials, I'm at 61 cents/10ml plus the bottle at 64 cents ($2.47 for a 30ml bottle). I'm hoping to find the bottles at Heartland's price and lower it to about 37 cents per bottle ($2.20 for a 30ml bottle).
Ebay is the cheapest I've been able to fine them. I think on my last order it was $26 shipped for 100 30ml and $22 for 100 15ml bottles
Good quality? If so, could you provide the username?
"Wisetiatan" and my mistake $25 for 100 15ml and $34 for 100 30ml. It's still been the best price I could find. Only other way would be to order a case from China which I don't have the space for even though I sell my juice on the side. And yes they are good IMO. I switched to these over glass due to the droppers leaking on me.
I bought some at:

Do not buy HearlandVapes bottles. I recently purchased around 50 and all the folks I sell juice to have complained to me that the childproof caps leak. I have problems with them leaking on a daily basis and get juice all over my hands just touching them. There's no reason for a childproof cap if the liquid very easily ends up on the outside of the bottle anyway.
I'll never buy bottles from them again.
I got 100 30ml, and 50 10ml clear PET bottles with dropper, and cap for $70 w/shipping. Comes out to about 47 cents each. That's a little high, but that's standard for PET, and I love them. The clear bottle, dropper and cap are all top notch.

What's PET?
Its a type of plastic, stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a form of polyester according to the interwebs. I like that they're strong and clear. I just keep them in a dark place until ready to use to avoid light damage.
