What are your hours of operation?
We have Customer Service Representatives available from 7 AM to 5 PM EST Monday through Friday. We can be reached through this site 24/7, as well as by FAX or E-Mail anytime.
Do you sell less than case quantities?
For bottles, cans and jars, we do not. However, we do sell less than case quantities on pails and drums. For closures, you can certainly buy less than a case, and we will match quantities of containers and closures.
What is your delivery charge?

What is a gross?
A gross is an industry standard term for 144 or 12 dozen bottles, and is commonly used in pricing glass containers.
Can I get samples sent to me?
Absolutely! If there are some items you are interested in, or if you need to do compatibility testing we would be happy to send samples to you free of charge.
Do you include caps with your bottles/jars?
The bottles and jars that we sell do not normally come with caps attached or included. Due to the wide variety of caps and dispensing closures available, it is more practical to match a particular cap or closure to a specific application.
Do you ship outside your delivery area?
Certainly! We utilize UPS, DHL, FedEx and a variety of LTL carriers for shipments outside our delivery area. We aggressively negotiate with our carriers for the best discounts to keep your costs in check.
What form of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit cards, and of course cash. If you would like to apply for an open account, please download a
credit application and return it to us. Our open account terms are 1% - 10/Net 30 days.
Do you have a price list?
Due to the rapid cost fluctuations in the products we sell, we do not publish a price list. Most of the products we sell are very sensitive to changes in energy pricing. Plastic containers and closures are based on oil while glass and metal are energy intensive to produce. Our Customer Service personnel will be happy to provide up to date pricing on any items you are interested in. We offer price discounts for larger quantity purchases.
Are you a manufacturer?
No, we do not manufacture the products we sell. We are a Wholesale Distributor representing several hundred manufacturers in several different product lines.
Why should I buy from a Distributor or Wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy direct from the Manufacturer?
As a Distributor, we represent several hundred Manufacturers. Many of them only sell through Distributors, and virtually all have high minimum purchasing quantities. Additionally, we act as an extension of your purchasing staff, searching for the containers and closures you require. We also carry an extensive standing inventory which insulates our customers from long lead times from manufacturers. In short, we make your business more efficient, and save you money.
What color is flint glass?
