I am having one hell of a time attempting to order a few 5 gallon pails of juice concentrate for a project. Every manufacturer I reached out to has a minimum order quantity of a whole pallet. At length I finally found someone who agreed to ship me a pail, but they wanted to charge $500 for refrigerated shipping, which I don’t need, and is 5x more than the pail itself costs.
So at length i’m resorting to asking here: is there anyone who regularly orders these sorts of products in large quantities, who would be open to taking payment for a split shipment? For instance, anyone making soda/juice type products, or all natural gummies?
Not so much that I don’t need it as that it would not be a workable solution going forward, and that it needs to be brought to room temperature anyway.
Practically speaking, what would be best is if it could simply be freighted with same day shipping, or if close enough, picked up personally by hand.
Have you tried PacGourmet? I used them quite a bit when I was making edibles consistently. The account manager I had was also able to source me some odds and ends that they don’t advertise on their website, so it may be worthwhile to reach out to them and see if they can help.
You could buy puree then add water later to thin it. That would solve your transporting issue at least. Plus puree tastes better than concentrate and less worry about water content in gummies.
Not sure what exactly your looking for, but this place is in Michigan and looks like non refrigerated shipping. They have a range of fruit juices and no minimum order that I saw. Not the normal standard flavors necessarily though.
The product description for this one in particular states that it can be stored in 70° F safely for 180 days. @MagisterChemist not sure what fruit in particular you’re looking for.
