Pg and Vg costs and expiry

[clairea]

Is £4.86,per litre for vg and £5.99 for mpg again 1 litre good value or is there anywhere cheaper? For 1 litre sizes

anyone know the shelf life of vg I have a litre bottle kicking around my soap stockroom but haven't used it In about 4 years looks ok not sure to use or not.

I just bought 5 litres of VG from Classikool, £24.99 and free shipping

they do smaller sizes.

5 litres is £18.99 not sure on shipping costs ok shipping makes it £24.47 or you can collect for free if you live near by

Weirdly, I used to live a couple of minutes walk away.

The address on their website is a chartered accountant's office so probably best to call them first!


Edit:
Buried in a load of gobbledegook in Customer Service is the mailing address: P O Box 145, Carmarthen, SA31 9DR
So maybe I didn't live around the corner from them, after all.

tbh, I find it easiest to order and buy Boots vg online, (£1.39 for 200ml bottle) and collect in store as my local small branch is just up the road. I've collected 7 200ml bottles today and paid £9.73

[Greg]

I went via ebay so shipping factored in I guess and I live a LOT of corners away

no idea on shelf life but I wouldn't risk it...not for the sake of a couple of £

I use either classikool or boots whatever takes my fancy at the time

Yes, that address (Leigh-on-Sea) is actually the accountants office.
Maybe it's their company's registered office / auditor / book-keeper...

I think we are at crossed purposes Ceedee 

It's a different company the company i was looking at is in Halstead in Essex its a manufacturer someone i used when I mailing soap and beauty products.

Is it definitely pharmaceutical grade? clairea I know there are different grades, food or cosmetic grades are lower percentage - and I always search out pharma grade as its the most pure, its best to err on the safer side rather than save a few pennies

Are you sure, it all looks like food grade to me.

Is food grade an issue, I have no idea but I always get pharma grade.

[clairea]

They claim it's suitable but have emailed to ask if pharmaceutical or food grade
