Deli cups? who has the best prices?

 

[Leopardbreeder]

^^ I was getting ready to post something like this, too. I had a family friend look for me because she owns a restaurant (3 actually). She said she can only get 1,000 cases for $50. That isn't expensive, but I don't need 1k. Unless I see some.

Its more like at lest $50 per 500 depending on brand and size, $14 per 100

I use restuarant quality deli cups because UPS and FEd x will not take the paper thin deli cups, they have to be thicker an withstand a small amount of weight and not crush instantly due to the possibility of a boxes getting smashed, the insulation helps some but these cups are what they required me to have since they do not crush so easy.

So I use these (about 1/3 down on page) and I can buy 1 or 100, and I burn the holes myself. They are thick enough that my 7 year old can put one under each foot and they don.t collapse.

HEY! Thats cheap then, maybe I will get a case. It was $50 for 1k

 

[dragonflyreptiles]

well that depends on what deli cup it is, is that an 8 ouce deli cup or a small condiment cup? you can get those 2-4 ouce condiment cups that restuarants use for about $25-30 for a case of 1250 without lids then th lids cose $25-30 per 1250 and they would not work for shipping leos.

8 oz. clear deli-cups

 

[dragonflyreptiles]

is that with the lids, they lids usually cost as much as the cups.

 

[dragonflyreptiles]

If it is, you need to buy them and do the holes and start selling them

deli cups

You may also want to try your local Costco, Sams Club or BJ's if you live near one and have or can get a membership. They are fairly cheap there.

 

[Leopardbreeder]

Sams club doesn't carry them. They have portion cups (the little 2-4 oz things), but any I have been to (about 8 or 9 all over the country, AZ, PA, NJ, NY, NV, TX.) I haven't checked BJ's (Haha can't help but laugh at that). I had someone check a Costco for me, and nothing showed up there.
