Found this source for 4 packs today
If you use 4 packs to sell seedlings this might be helpful.
http://mcconkeyco.com/collections/cl...eid=3e6c4669ad 804 True 1020 Insert (Case of 150) for $24.50. This looks like a good price. I wish I could figure out how to post the picture. Barb |

That looks way too good to be true.
For 1 thing I've never seen a "case" of any kind of inserts in a 150. They are always 100 or 50. For another thing, the price was too good even at the old price of 44.62, let alone 24.50. Even if they are a discontinued size as I think they are. With the price of oil right now flats and inserts are high. I just got a case of 100 1801s on Wednesday from my local supplier and it was $71. As much as I like a deal, something about that just doesn't seem right. Carol |

I believe they manufacture their own products. I just received a case of 4 inch deep pots and only paid $80.86 for a case of 1375 pots. They were light weight but serve my needs. They were stamped McConkey on the bottom. I suppose they can determine a case to be whatever size if they are manufacturing and not just distributing. I was very happy with my purchase and now receive notifications of specials via e mail so thought I would pass it on.

It looks like shipping depends how close they are to you. They are located in Washington state. I ordered a large box of 4 inch deep pots containing 1375 pots and paid 23.00 shipping on $80.00 and that was a heavy box. But this does seem high on 4 packs. Sorry I should not of posted without a disclaimer depending on where you live. A case of 150 with shipping is $54.00 for me and a case of 100 with shipping is $70.00 at Greenhouse Mega Store.

and greenhousemega store has switched manufactures to T O plastics, which are flimsy and sometimes very oily. unlike the inserts from landmark plastics they used to sell, which were good quality.

If you live my direction or within driving distance and like a nce country drive to or through Amish country... There is a supplier in Fredricksburg Ohio that is Amish owned (so no phone or internet...sorry, you have to write for a catalog) But their dillen inserts run 45.95 per 100 case. sizes 1201, 1206, 806, 1204, 1203,804, 1202 and 1801's. Lightweight flats are 21.95/50 and heavy duty flats are 87.50/100. This is the 10 1/2 x 21" size, not the true 10x20
yoders produce 9599 S. Applecreek Rd Fredricksburg, Oh 44627

Nolt's is still the cheapest I have been able to find most of my supplies:
http://www.noltsproducesupplies.net/ Prices and skus are usually identical for Nolt's Midwest produce supplies in Iowa. They always have good shipping rates, are honest and fast. Amish as well. |
