It's that time again! Another group buy for the twist-cap "Bombies-style" bottles.
Here's the link for the first one in case you missed it.
Here's a shoutout a kind redditor gave me after the buy :)
Info: The bottles and another of each size, empty.
30ml, 60ml, and 120ml sizes available. If you guys are interested in other sizes let me know. There are no 15ml twist-cap styles but there are a number of 15ml options. All bottles are LDPE.
Prices (without shipping)
-
30ml $0.60
-
60ml $0.75
-
120ml $0.80
Actual shipping depends on the quantity ordered and the USPS zone you live in. A few bottles will be ~$2-4, larger packages will have to go Priority for ~$9-15. I prefer to split up larger orders into multiple packages to take advantage of USPS First Class. It saves a ton in shipping. If you'd like a quote on shipping I feel pretty confident guesstimating it based off all the shipping I had to do last time :)
The order form can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tHa6raEXGPlRCZtu0NuyQI9Bif0dw7geDOcnz2aTGvc/viewform
If you guys have any questions feel free to post up! Just like last time you don't actually pay until I have the bottles in hand so when you receive the invoice your package should ship within a day or so of paying!
EDIT: I'm terribly sorry but something has come up and I have to head out of town on the 21st and won't return until the 28th. I'm going to have to delay the group buy a bit :(
EDIT FOR THE EDIT 7/16: I placed the order yesterday. I'm REALLY hoping they get here before I have to fly out on Tuesday. If not, my sincerest apologies for the delay. If you don't want to wait, feel free to cancel the invoice when it's sent. I'll eat the costs, it never hurts to have extra bottles on hand :P
Sorry to be that guy, but.. Any chance you would let someone use Google Wallet? I don't have, or want, a PayPal account.
Totally understand if you're not cool with it.
Where can I buy these directly?
Right here buddy, I don't know the price on shipping but its 15¢ cheaper on the group buy for 30 ml https://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin42.html
I'm slightly confused.

Why would you do this group buy just to pay more?
Edit: Format / ONLY BENEFICIAL IF BUYING SMALL QUANTITY, Price is higher even though goal is to buy in bulk for a cheaper price.
Ya, it's aimed at small quantity. The majority of the orders are 10-50 bottles. Also, buying quantity yields no price breaks, actually a few of the case options (1500, etc) are actually more expensive per unit. The benefit of the group buy is to spread the shipping cost along a lot of bottles and avoid people wanting a few bottles to have to shell out $20 for s/h.
Why does this only happen directly before payday :/
There's no rush on payment. After a few days I'll place the order (probably Monday-Tuesday) and when the bottles arrive (I always get one box next-day, and the rest in a week, not sure what's up with that) I send out invoices. As they're paid I ship. After ~2 weeks I'll contact people that asked me after-the-fact about getting them bottles from the people ended up not paying.
I've never ordered these what's the lead time look on these usually??
After I place the order they ship in 1-2 days. They ship in multiple shipments, and I have always gotten one box (~250-400 bottles) next day, with the rest about 5-7 days later. I'll probably order on Monday or Tuesday so I'll probably get them in and send out invoices around the 20th.
Are these child proof? (please say no!)
Edit to add: have never ordered bombies juice before, but really like the look of these bottles
They aren't. I haven't found a child-proof option that I like. Personally I believe it's the parents' obligation to keep such things away from children. Call me crazy but I believe in personal responsibility!
rough shipping estimate on 10x~30ml 10x~60ml 5x~120ml? also an approximate time you'll be officially taking payments?
This was in a previous thread and I'm sorry but my search efforts are failing but can you link where I can buy the shrink-wrap for these bottles? My company is still at friends / family level and unfortunately one of those friends lives in Wisconsin, while we're based in Colorado.
I just don't trust the bottles to not unscrew a little during shipment and leak.
Vouching for /u/redbic. I completely missed the invoice he sent me, but he was generous enough to get my order together from leftovers from Rd. 2 and some extras from Rd. 3. Very prompt shipment and a pleasure to do business with.
However, and this has nothing to do with OP, I'm having issues with my 120's leaking like crazy from the top. The 60's are perfect, but the 120's can't leave the house.
Can I get these delivered in Europe ? :)
I just received my order yesterday and finally got the chance to try them out today. So far I've only tested a couple 30ml bottles but I've not encountered any leaking. I can't attest to the 120ml bottles leaking but I'm not too worried about those as they will only be used for storing bulk juice made and transferring to the smaller bottles.
These kind of bottles are great and I wish I had gotten some earlier but didn't want to bulk order for just myself. I was mainly interested in them because I was tired of having to deal with a juice bottle's cap while dripping... one less thing to have to hold or set down. Thanks again to OP!!!
/u/redbic did a wonderful job in shipping times and keeping me up to date on the process. This is the first time I've been part of a group buy and I honestly expected the process to take much longer.
I think I correctly placed an order through the form a couple of days ago, just wanted to see if I had missed out on the buy. Let me know!
You did miss the deadline but quite a few people didn't pay for their orders. PM me Wednesday, I'll be home and I can go through everything and see what I have left.
