Container group buy

I'm looking into placing a group order for woozy bottles for hot sauce and the like. If you've checked on Amazon or eBay you know how ridiculous the pricing and shipping can be. ($25-$32/dozen shipped)
I'm looking at
www.containerandpackaging.com as they have what I'm looking for, but they also have a $50 minimum order.
If anyone wants to piggy back on this please let me know. I plan to order in a few weeks. They also have 32 oz non-static plastic containers that would work well for specialty grains etc.

As an alternative, here's the place where I ordered the bottles we used for the Xmas yeast giveaway. No minimum order.
http://www.specialtybottle.com/saucebottlesmi.aspx
Woozy 5oz - case (doz) price w/shipping is $22.24. but 2 cases is only $34.88. Note: this price includes the cap. And, they have the dispensing inserts for $0.09 each.
I'd be interested in a case (12) of the woozy 1.7 oz bottles w/caps.

Snooze, you lose, sometimes!
Specialty bottle is still a better deal.
Found another vendor that seems decent:
http://www.fillmorecontainer.com/Hot-Sa ... -P100.aspx
Dozen 5oz woozy, with inserts and caps - $5.43, but the kicker is always shipping - another $12.46 - UPS. But still, $17.89 a case shipped, is still better than Amazon for 6 bottles & free shipping.

At the we-missed-it price, the Amazon deal was the best, at 1.27 per bottle shipped. Specialty Bottle comes to 1.54 per bottle. Of course with the new price, they're an awful 2.75 each from Amazon.
So the question is, was the old price a mistake, or is it worth waiting to see if they go on sale again.

Fillmore is down to $3.99 /doz. 3 cases plus caps and lids is $33.14. I'm placing an order shortly.
Tony, a case of 18 - 1.7oz Woozy bottles is like $35. You still want?

I'm really happy with Fillmore. Shipping was reasonable and quick. 3 bottles of hot sauce and 3 bottles of Worcestershire in the fridge.
I gave 6 bottles of the hot sauce to my workmates and have received excellent reviews. The 5 ounce size is perfect for that.
