Other European beer crates...Store your homebrew in style!

[FuelshopMcgee]

So I realized just how much I love these things while living in Europe. They are awesome for storing your homebrewed beer and travelling with them. I have several of these and can get access to many more if people have a desire for them. Not trying to make a killing off of these but I do have to pay a deposit on them (and drive to Belgium to pick up the good ones).

Anyways I'm thinking 20 bucks + shipping for these guys. They are pretty light and shouldn't be much to ship.

Let me know if anyone has any interest in these!

If you're particular about a certain brand (german or belgian) I'll see what I can do for you but no promises!

Dumb question: if you're paying a deposit on something and then selling it without returning/buying it, isn't that stealing?

I might be interested if you can ship to the USA and shipping is not too much.
What size bottles are they made for, half-liter?
How much to ship to Zip Code 19805?
Thanks

No..not at all! It's a fee you pay every time you buy the beer to cover the cost of the crate. You're basically buying the crate everytime you buy a rack of beer. Think of it like when you rent a tool from autozone. They charge you the price of the tool as If you're buying it and if you choose to keep it, then it's yours . I've had some of these crates for 6 years...no polizei here yet!

Oh, ok, so it's not a "deposit" as in, when you return it, you get it back.

 

[FuelshopMcgee]

It's not a contractual obligation when buying these crates to return them in any way. When you bring one back in you just end up exchanging it... I kind of see what you guys are getting at, however this is not a nefarious deal going on here

 

[FuelshopMcgee]

And yes USA shipping is not a problem, and no it should not be expensive. I will post up a quote tomorrow after I get to the post office

Deposit is like water jugs from bj's wholesale. They charge u a $6 fee but when I bring it back they give me a new full one and I just pay for the water. Like .05 on a soda can. You pay the deposit and when u bring them back u get the money

 

[FuelshopMcgee]

I leave for the uk soon and just thought some homebrewers might get some use out of these as I did. And to answer a question from above there are different sizes, some fit regular 12 oz bottles some will fit 22 oz bottles. If there is a reference let me know.

Well let me know and I'll send some your way

 

[HopSong]

FSM.. let us know the cost of shipping a few. I could get my son to send a few somewhere down the line.. I guess you guys never hooked up on base. He lives about 20 min from base.

 

[kathomas11]

FSM where are you? We probably know the same people.

Okay so a quote for one of the guys interested came out to $8.70 for priority. These things should outlive all of us (perhaps not as cool as the old antique wooden ones) like this one I have on ebay (sorry for the upside down pic)
But at least they will take a beating.

 

[riconek]

I can get it for about 5$ or so in Europe but shipping kills it.
Where did you find 8 $ shipping?

 

[b-boy]

I'm interested in 2 of these. I'd like them for 22oz bombers. Can I get a quote to 14068 in the US?

So dropped by the post office today. These can be shipped w/out a box basically just wrapping them in plastic wrap and slapping a To and From.

B-boy they will end up being $11 a piece for shipping. That is for parcel (4 weeks) Priority will be $15 a piece.

Hmm...I really like these and I was looking at building my own. The shipping kinda kills it for me though.

Anyway they could be wrapped as one item to bring down the shipping price, or are they too big for that?

 

[FuelshopMcgee]

They are pretty large and I think even just strapping two of them together is not going to help the price at all unfortunately.

 

[rskelhorn]

Hi, can you get a quote to X1A3X5 ?

Interested in a few of these.

 

[FuelshopMcgee]

Shipping to Canada is going to be considerably more expensive prob not worth it to be honest

OK - Thanks for looking into this. I'm still on the fence. I'll let you know.

 

[b-boy]

Just bought 2 of these.
