Ah well, there you go. I need to factor in delivery costs. Thanks anyway. I'll bear it in mind when I eventually get round to ordering some megapots for my Pringles vendors. x

Yes I saw that too. Pretty much the same price as 192g for 70p but personally I'm sick of self-packing Starburst! Plus the increased price of the pots has made a difference.

I order empties from Midland. When you order some decent quantity, works out 8-9p incl. Vat & delivery. They're often short on them, but if you can wait, then there's no problem.

Useful info. Thanks for letting me know. What do they look like- I've only ever dealt with Hurleys with the rid lids or tubz vending and their hinged lids. Do midland make their own and are they compatible with both the Hurleys and tubz vending machines?

Midland ones are OK, slightly more prone to jamming than Hurleys. Very marginally smaller.

Exactly.

I find it helpfull to load pots to the machine upside down. So far no jams this way (about 2 months). Also, sometimes, I find there is a bit less than 300 in a bag. After 12 bags I was about 50-60 filled pots short.
