55 Gallon Drums

I have just received the final bid information on the water drums from Containers, Here's how it breaks down:

• For an order of only 25 barrels, the cost is higher because it requires shipping ground with an external carrier (like UPS). So, for 25 barrels it's $67 per barrel, which includes tax and shipping, but is super pricey.

However, Containers, Unltd., sends shipments to Fresno regularly on their own big freight truck, so if we order more than the 25 we don't have to pay for the external shipping. So...the price goes down if we order more and ship it on their truck. I am determined to do it this way, so if there is not enough interest from our ward then I will open it up to others who might be interested.

• If we get an order of at least 50 barrels, the cost is only $48.50 per barrel, which includes tax and shipping.
• If we get an order of at least 75 barrels, the cost is $45.50 per barrel, which includes tax and shipping.
• Thus, the more barrels we order, the more the price decreases.

This is a good price. The cheapest I have been able to find these elsewhere is $60 per barrel + taxes & shipping = ouch. Several people have recently told me they were only able to find new drums in the last year for about $69 a piece. So, even the higher rate of $48.50 is an excellent buy.

 

If you are interested, please let me know. I will be sending around a sign up sheet during Primary, RS, & Priesthood this Sunday. Or, I will place a sign-up sheet on the Peachwood Ward bulletin board (under food storage info) if you do not get a chance to sign up during RS or priesthood.

 

Additionally, if you did not already get your water filters, please contact me so we can arrange for you to pick them up!!

 

Best wishes for happy storing!
