Pirate Water Bottles

JD yes in terms of showing how 108 is warmer. On my screen the 102 is still warmer than on the swatchbook, on the swatchbook it is still colder, and more 'acid' lemon.

Wouldn't worry about it though - just compared my swatchbook to my LG pirate top, and to my eyes it looks more like 102 than 108 anyway!

I'd say it was a near enough match for our purposes!

cake - looks like the bottles are around 80g.  so i think with packaging & delivery note we'll be over 100g.  how does that affect the costs?

thanks for your help

I don't like black bottles. You can't see the black fungus growing in them when they are dirty...

I just weighed a 750ml bottle (High 5 type from Vitruvian) @ 88gms so providing the packaging was minimal it should come in under 100gms for posting.

jeez, i'm turning into lance armstrong weighing bottles. 

depending on the bottle with packaging it's just over or just under 100g.  think it's best to assume it'll be over.

Note:

Everyone has asked for 2 or 4  bottles so the cost will normally be for posting 2 or 4 bottles at the same time.

ie < 250gms.

Postage will £1.28 first or £1.08 second class asuming the bottles arn't really heavy or full of gin and 100g or under. 

I was suprised that a single buff was over the limit so I think a bottle would be........multiple purchases will be cheaper but its easier to keep the price per item the same..............I might be persuaded to get a couple more if there are spares.........

although in general I would prefer yellow on black....for pirate things it has to be black on yellow.

Total at 78, only 422 more needed to meet that minimum order....

I thought min order was 150, but CBA to read through thread again

Edit : Was arsed.  Think it's 150 for black cap, 500 for yellow, but happy to be corrected

I've been told to ask for more than I originally did. Bad wife.

I would think as long as JD sucks the air out of all the bottles before posting them, that they will be light enough. But I also think a large chunk will be deliverable in person - between FLM, various sportifs and the like?

Probably, I expect he has a few kicking around that his daughter uses!!

Maybe we can get JD to fill them with helium and then the postage will be really cheap! And it will be more fun receiving them

*advance warning - geek alert*

It was proven on Brainiac that filling something with helium does not affect the price to the extent of offsetting the purchasing of the canister of helium

*geekiness completed*

i can look at delivery options but to avoid ball ache i would prefer just posting them off unless money is an issue.  anyway, we can see.
