navenjohnson Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Has the price of glass gone up? I had quotes for the Tennessee 750ml bottle in 2016 around $1.35-1.40/ unit. I have gotten a quote now for $1.67/unit. Am I missing something or is that just where we are now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Glassworks Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 In the last year or so, we have seen roughly 20% increase on the glass that we have manufactured in china. That said, if you are able to purchase a full container load, we could offer this bottle for about $1.30, depending on delivery location. sales@fusion-glassworks.com www.fusion-glassworks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Lol, we just saw an 18% price jump on glass. And we order by the container. Remember that savings you scored on lower FET? FTW MAGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, all glass suppliers in the world are at maximum capacity. Some glass plants are increasing their pricing for some bottles because they are picking and choosing their clients.
