Spice bottles source

Where is everybody getting their bottles for their spice concoction. I tried to order 100 bottles for liquid and the reducer and here is the price I got quoted for shipping:

AYFKM!!
I could buy cases of tobasco and relable them for this price. Pretty much the same thing for spice powder shakers. Am I doomed to selling product in seal-a-meal packaging or is there a vendor that actually cares about shipping price for their items?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
 
Forgot to add, I'm in Hawaii so I expect a little increase in shipping price but I know the large flat rate boxes can ship in a fraction of the cost.
 
Have you tried reaching out to one of the brewing companies like Kona or Maui to see if they can bring them in with their shipments.  I dont recall if Maui had bottled beer last time I was there.  That night I only remember that my scotch on the rocks was $2 more than neat at the Ritz Carlton :)  I had to order a free glass of ice water, hold the water and a neat scotch.
