Are we missing a Ball jar that you love? Unfortunately, we can’t carry every single jar from Ball and here’s why:
- Ball’s entire line is not available to us through our supplier. Some of them are ear-marked for non-USA markets.
- Some items would be duplicates of what we carry in a more economical and/or more versatile version.
Sometimes we are able to bring items in as a special order, but there is usually a minimum quantity expected in order to do so and a greater lead time. If there is a particular item that you’re interested in, feel free to ask by emailing info@filmorecontainer.com with the details.
