Cami Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I just got some pricing from Reikes Glass Co.. and their prices are quite expensive... I thought they were supposed to be a large distributor, if so why are they charging so much for their jars. I found the same glass jar 8 1/2 oz Crisa smooth sided for .25 cents less from Green Leaf Candle Supplies...Does anyone have a better or cheaper supplier for Libbey Glassware??? By the time you add fright on these simple jars they are more than apothocary which are larger and include lids..... hmmmmm Thanks for any info....Cami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reese Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Were you quoted wholesale or resale prices? I buy all my glassware from Reikes. I don't have to pay shipping as my DH work near there and he picks the order up for me. Reikes does have a min on wholesale buying which is $250.00. So when I do place an order I always buy alot to meet the min dollar amount and enough so I only need to order about twice a year. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks Reese for the info.. Yes I was quoted wholesale... I think they have some of the jars confused and that is why the pricing was different.. I am going to call tomorrow and see what quantity discounts they offer....

David Fields Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I assume you are talking about Reikes in Dallas. Reikes has different tiers of pricing. Talk with Tom Moore there. He will get you the best pricing that he can. Tell him I sent you.David Fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have always bought my containers from Riekes in Dallas. I am in town nowand called them and the orders now come out of California. I was not able topick up the 24 dozen cases while I was in town. Tom Moore is great to work with and will give you a good deal.Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I contacted them, they gave me a phone # and name of a local rep. I'm in CA and the phone # was in the Long Beach, CA area. I've also noticed several times that suppliers have them cheaper, but I'm sure it's the volume they are buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Light Mama Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Try the Jar Store...they are online and it seems you can buy a case at a time and the lids come with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks also for the referral David... I'll be sure to let him know and hopefully he'll pass on some savings your way... I appreciate it and will let you know what I find out.....Thanks!Cami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live in Dallas and was able to pick up all my supplies. I'm on vacation in Texas right now and tried to do a pick up. If they had had the jars in stock they woule have let me pick them up. The lady told me they had changed their ordering process and now all orders are placed through California. She gave me an estimated shipping cost from California to Georgia and it wasn't all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
