10,000 bottle caps for $25

[MaxStout]

G.W. Kent (a new HBT sponsor) has 26mm crown caps (yellow, green, and red) for $24.95/10,000. Regularly $214.95. That works out to about 36 cents for 144; usually about 10x that elsewhere.

I couldn't possibly use that many, but maybe some club or group of brewers might be interested. Perhaps a brew store, like @Bobby_M would want to grab some at that price and repackage for resale.

Good lord.

I'm tempted, as I'm nearing the end of a medium flat-rate box I purchased



15 years ago.

Did you see the shipping cost? $239 for Ground. I think I'll pass.

No, I didn't see that. I thought there had to be a catch.

It's really not even that bulky of a box. I think the last time I special ordered for a customer, it was about a 14" cube and UPS ground should cost about $45.

$239 shipping for that seems hinky. A way to advertise a "low price" up front and get you on the back end with P&H. Bottle caps weigh maybe a few grams each. Times 10,000, and that's maybe 20-30kg. No way that's $239 shipping unless it's going overnight air or the like.

I was probably 25% sarcastic in my post. I checked and shipping 300 miles was *only* $93 for 50lbs.
Still not a bad price, but I don't need to put a case of bottle caps into my will.

For the shipping costs, you can buy some kegs and a regulator.

For comparison.. 320 red caps x30 = ~10,000 red caps is ~$230 from williams with free or flat rate shipping

Would be great if they were champagne caps.
