Angie W Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was wondering where everyone gets their glass from. Has anyone orderd directly from Anchor Hocking or Libbey? How difficult is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricktomei Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ahhh...I'm on that adventure right now. Ordering from a manufacturer can be really expensive. Not the cost each. But, you may have to order by the pallet.So far, I have discovered a company called Fairway Glass. They cater to smaller orders. I requested some samples and they were delivered in 2 days. Unfortunately, I cannot use their jars. The quality is outstanding. It's the fitment for my application that keeps me from buying.So, I found another possibility. They are called The Jar Store. They also own Decor Trends. I just called them a few days ago for samples. So, I don't know if they are good or not. Last year, I had problems with the fitments. They promised me, they changed manufacturers. That's a good thing. Besides, samples are free and I will test them to make sure wll before i buy.Another place you could shop is a restaurant supply warehouse. Beer mugs, coffee cups, Irish Coffee Mugs and a bunch of other glasswares. I had beer mugs and Irish Coffee mugs coming out of my ears. They sold quickly. I don't remember how much I paid for them. But, it was a deal I could NOT refuse. They were either Anchor or Libby. I forgot. You can shop at a Dollar Store. But, you are taking a chance. You don't know who made them. You don't know if there is enough silica in the glass to keep it from shattering. Above all, you don't want a certified letter coming from someone's lawyer. I hope this helps.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth-VT Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You can order direct from Anchor Hocking with only a 25 case minimum. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
