What is the absolute cheapest way to get bulk bottles?

submitted almost 9 years ago by alex617

I make e-juice for friends and it's starting to add up, I usually buy them from small vendors or ebay for 0.30-0.50 cents a piece. I'm looking to just get a bulk order of around 200-300.

I found a good deal on ecigxpress for 330 30ml glass bottles for only $100USD, but as I live in Australia the shipping costs alone add another $300! I took a look at alibaba but they mostly have PET bottles, I'm looking mostly for glass dripper bottles. Does anyone know a good wholesale method for getting them?

Just bought 100 bottles from fasttech. They're PET and they arrived (Canada) in less than 2 weeks. $2.25/5 bottles, $.388/bottle if you buy more than 50. Free shipping, can't go wrong in my opinion.

Haven't scoured alibaba but I'd be willing to do that too!

I use AliExpress for mine. I usually just order 20 at a time (120ml ink bottles) usually around £10 delivered

The absolute cheapest way is to get a bottle making company to make you a die and make you 10's of thousands of bottles at a time, it would work out to mere cents a bottle.

BUT - you would probably have to pay for the die and you would have to take quite large numbers of bottles to make it worth their while for the run. So cost per bottle would be the cheapest, but you would need some upfront money for the die and the loads of bottles.

2nd option would be to buy from someone that already does this - alibaba and aliexpress are full of these guys, pick one with the longest Alibaba history and best ratings and go for it

www.glassbottleoutlet.com gets mentioned a lot. I was trying to find info about international orders but didnt see anything. While looking for that I read that they price match too which is nice.

Not sure how the shipping is with my local quy but maybe the difference in dollar value might make him cheaper http://www.wtflab.ca/en/12-30-ml

Yep. Get a small group of folks together between Australia and Japan, find a good China manufacturer on Alibaba, if everyone can handle 2k-3k quantity, I imagine they would get down to about ten cents each, or less for pet.

I buy them here for as little as 19cents each. I don't know if they ship to Australia though. https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/G141A

If you are looking for plastic bottles, here is the link. They are 15cents each. LDPE...better than PET bottles. https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/B402

I bought glass bottles from ecigxpress because they had them cheap in low quantities. That is exactly what they are, cheap! The first five I have tried to use have all leaked around the threads at the top when you shake them. I will not buy their bottles again. Luckily I only bought 15 15ml and 10 30ml.
