Where to buy large (2.5l) glass bottles in UK

[Benson112]

Hi All,

I want to pick up some large 2.5l (2500ml) amber glass bottles to store my DIY ingredients in so I just wondered if anyone knows a good place to but them from?

I want something like this: 3 x 2500ml / 2.5l Winchester Pattern Amber Glass Chemistry Laboratory Bottles | eBay

But unfortunately its a little far for me to drive for 3 glass bottles Any ideas anyone? ive had a look (briefly ill admit) on some lab supply sites but the ones ive seen so far arent exactly user friendly

thanks in advance

thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated! Wouldnt expect you to go 15 miles out of your way for me though, im sure there must be somewhere I can order these damn things from! lol.

I dont like storing my things in the flimsy plastic bottles they arrive in so any alternative (glass only) would be better for my peace of mind

Might not be of any use to you, but have you considered wine making Demi johns? I know they don't have screw on tops but I'm not a wine maker so I don't know what might fit. Should be easier to get hold of though.

Or another thought. If your friendly in the local boozer, how some of those large spirit bottles. I know I had one to save my pennies in, it must be at least 2 ltr in size. Can't even remember where it's stored now lol.

How about these.....

And there's a free laser pen with every order (if that floats your boat.)

Interestingly I found that site by doing a Google search using the phrase from your question "(2.5l) glass bottles in UK".
https://www.google.com/search?q=(2....i57j69i60l3&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8
And that link was the last one on the first page of the results.
I just did that search again and the link has suddenly shot up to number one on the page.
Interesting bit of search engine optimisation - something I used to be interested in but aren't really any longer.
Also note that this thread is the third link on the page too.

Edit - What I just wrote is crap - the link has moved up 3 places, not to the top - I think I'm losing my marbles.
