jayhawk22 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just curious what the color of the 850 ct. Double Bubble box is that are flaking again. I am wanting to buy some gum from Sams & want to know what boxes to avoid. I had trouble the first time with the light colored green box. Concord sent me a pallet of replacements that the boxes were a darker shade of green. I have heard that the problem is happening again & I don't want to deal with it. Thank you in advance.

caserri Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I had flaking/staleness issues with the yellow boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaletail116 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 How long before they usually begin flaking? Should Sam's be avoided for gumball purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawk22 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just recently caserri? I have been buying Oak Leaf from Five Star. In my opinion it is a much higher quality gum than Concords. You can't beat the convenience of running to Sams though when you run short of gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I had dubble bubble but got tired of flaking all over,, so switched to oak leaf nerds hopping for great results with these since they don't seem to flake much and look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I got a price list from Allstar Vending. They have 850 count Nerd's gumballs for $27.50 a box. I've never ordered from them so I don't know how they are with freight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooldini Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 TJking wants 29.15 a case. Some of there gums seemed high to me but mostly they did have some cheaper gum but if shipping is bad its not worth it unless your buying alot of items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawk22 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah you definitely want to fill up a pallet. The last time I ordered the freight charge was the same for 500 lbs & 1000 lbs. So I just doubled my order & still paid $192 in freight! The percentage for the freight charge was actually very low. I just watch their monthly specials & they have locked me in around $16 a case for Oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrantha Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I keep it simple. I stick with SAMS....M&M's Mike&Ikes and skittles. I bought one box of gumballs and have used very little of it. My locations are places where there are 50 or more employees and the adults don't buy many of them. So I have a box of Double Bubble Gum balls and no customers for it. I have had the box now for 1 1/2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
