Just received my parcel of 250 7mm 1 gallon Mylar bags, picked them up for £53 and with free delivery not a bad price at all, they were out of oxygen absorbers though but I will pick these up from ebay. Got them from the LDS, I like the fact they are the 7mm ones as well

Can you give me some advice please?

I've found 100 10 x 16, 4.3 mil, Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for £67 inc p+p.

Is this a good price?? Anyone recommend anywhere else or things I should check before parting with my pennies??

Thanks

It's from the LDS church they can be ordered on line and paid for by credit card. Here is the link they are the thick 7mm ones as well not the 4mm type on ebay

Cavealaska, I'd be interested to know the size of the bags as I find it hard to visualise what a '1-gallon' bag might be ? Is it an 8"x8" bag or something like that ? Just like to know to make comparisons easier if you don't mind :)

A gallon is about 4.5 ltrs, 1 ltr is 10cm X 10cm X 10cm, 20cm X 20cm X 20cm is 8ltrs

Hope that helps

Moved these posts to a new thread as the previous one is specifically for the group buy.

They have oxygen absorbers back in too now altho the currency rate isn't as good! Think I'll be ordering some on payday!

Make sure you go onto the UK link when you order, from the box of Mylar bags I ordered it would appear that they are shipped from within the UK and not from the US, they do not have the quickest postal service but the price for the bags is good and if you don't want the full 250 I am sure someone on here will buy some off you.
