+DizzleJizzle Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 What shops seem to be the most popular as far as buying geocaching equipment, primarily containers and unique cache containers such as fence post caches? I'm looking at www.cachesupply.com and they have some pretty good containers and good prices on them, but the looks of the site don't seem very professional and make me question its legitimacy. Anyone else ever shop from there? Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 People actually buy pre-made cache containers? Quote Link to comment
+Elminster7781 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 While I don't know specifically about that site, a quick look around it shows its prices are bit higher then most places. The only online place I've used for caching supplies is geogearstore.com. I've ordered from there 3 times and never had any problems. Quote Link to comment

+The VanDucks Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 We've ordered a lot of geocaching supplies, stickers, log books, TB tags, etc. from GPSCity.com, and been pleased with the fast delivery and good prices. We buy swag from Oriental Trading Company's web site; but we make most of our cache containers, or paint lock 'n' lock boxes that I buy at our Harris Teeter grocery store. Quote Link to comment

I have shopped there only one time, but the process went very smoothly. Quote Link to comment
+Segerguy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 A good source for containers is.....garage sales, Army surplus stores and Thrift stores like The Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. You would be surprised at what you can turn into a cool container with a little imagination.

+brodiebunch Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Target for lock-n-locks. Walmart for camo duct tape Other caches for swag (that I have traded) or a Dollar store. Groundspeak for the other stuff, since they are close by. Quote Link to comment
CacheNCarryMA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 armysurplus.net for ammo cans The Container Store for a wide variety of different shapes Your local grocery store for Rubbermaid screwtop containers Quote Link to comment
