Where can we source excess or surplus bottle inventory, and how do members share unused stock?

Members occasionally offer surplus packaging stock to the community at no cost, covering only shipping. One member (ELLC) offered approximately 550 pieces of Vetro Elite Chiara 70cl bottles with cork mouth, stored at InBond in Stockton, available FOC with buyer covering freight. The stock was split across 2 partial pallets that could not be consolidated to a single pallet. Members interested in sourcing excess inventory should monitor community channels and reach out directly to those advertising surplus stock. This approach works best when your bottle specification matches what's available from departing brands.
