From the experienced folks here I would appreciate if you have any tips on packaging GLASS Tabasco bottles for mailing overseas.

I figure the cardboard box is standard. But how have you wrapped or padded the glass bottles?

Has anyone here been on the end of a glass bottle shipment and got it intact?

I shipped Tabasco to Norway, I just wrapped them in lots of bubble wrap.
Those bottles are pretty tough!

This is what I did as well. Reports from the recipients indicate they all arrived intact.

Is it my imagination, or, are some Earth'ers so desparate for Tabasco, that they would worry about it? I'll send 10 MRE Tabasco's and 2 Green ones', to Anywhere in the world, Fedex, for $500 US. If it's that important!

Those little bottles are very though, and don't really need anything more then a cardboard box.. Due to their light weight, and small cylinder form, with thick glass.. their very.. very though..


But why all that effort if you can buy tobasco in the european supermarkets?

yes, even in my lone area of Brittany you can find it in any supermarket or grocery!

we have tabasco here in norway to,but not al the fancy ones.
like the chipotle and so on,but i got them already from dirtbag
the chipotle flavor is lovly in tomato beans meals,bbq and so on....

cheers ken

Well, if they mean that much, maybe I should stop throwing them in the garbage. For real US Gov't. Hot sauce, Baumer Foods, aka, Bruce Foods, Louisiana, current and long term contractor for mess hall hot sauce, can't get any better.

Ken, Tabasco makes a 1 gallon bottle of chipotle.....
I think the glass is thinner though!

I think they should be fine. If they can ship them from the plant to the middle east and have them survive, it should be fine.
