bottles-jars Bottles, caps and some....

[NorwegianChili]

Hello and thanks for the hours of good reading you all have provided. I´ve been looking  around for empty bottles for the use of my chili sauce. As the demand from friends an special shops starts to come and this is really a hobby of mine, does anyone know a good supplier of empty bottles in various sizes with caps and all? I live in Norway, so it does not really matter where from as long as they ship it
 
Growing chilis in northern europe is demanding, but really cool as I can provide my self with all the chilies you cant buy fresh from the shops. And 90% of all the hotsauces and chili sauces from overseas vendors have way too much e stuff in them. I like it natural, and I like it hot. My Marugas are starting to produce pods these days, and if the summer is good I´ll manage some nice riped pods from it.

Hello and thanks for a prompt reply. The listed suppliers do not ship overseas, only Canada! I have a postforward address in New Jersey that is possible to use, but I would like to find one that ships directly to reduce wait time.

3 suppliers I know of are-
 
Specialty Bottle in Seattle, WA
Freund Container
Container&Packaging Supply.
 
I don't know if they ship overseas.  I think Cont&Pkg Supply has one of those "instant Chat" features on their website.  Also, I think there's a Chilliheads group on Facebook that is mostly UK people.  If you can find that group, I bet someone there can give you some help.
 
When you find a supplier, if you can, order extra caps.  If you're sharing with family and friends, you can get the bottles back and re-use the bottles, but do not re-use the caps.  Having extra caps will keep you going for a while.
 
If you're interested in black shrink bands, shoot me a PM.

Ikea is not happening Im surprised you fond that swedish site tho! Its about 3 times as expensive as the us sites, so I guess I need to use the mail forward address in NJ. Thanks for the effort guys. 

 

[salsalady]

I didn't find it....I posted on Facebook saying someone in Norway wanted bottles, that was one of the replies I received.

thanks steve5000. But the shipping cost from our neighbor "UK" is always twice or three times as from the US ! God knows why. I have ended up buying large quantities of fishing gear and it was WAY cheaper to fly my self to London to collect at post restante than to ship it!  

 

[Steve5000]

transport can be expensive in UK.  I remember during Euro 96 it was cheaper to fly from North East UK to Amsterdam then fly in to London than it was to get a train from the North East direct to London!
