I don't know if this is the right place to be doing this but if any vendors are interested I have a large quantity of Tampertainer bottles I'm looking to sell.. They comes with the secure snap on air-tight lids with a pull-off seal so might be ideal for shipping pills or even other stuff like weed.. They are brand new unused bottles so could even be labeled and capsules used giving the appearance of an innocent health supplement. Excess space can be filled with cotton wool to stop any rattle.
Picture: http://www.cambriancontainers.com/images/productimages/RTT30_31JCW.jpg
Size is 30ml capacity - dimensions 47mm (height-overall) x 39mm (width)... 31mm (bottle neck width)... there is a 22mm height for label across the bottle.
Easily small enough to fit through letterbox/postboxes, yet these bottles will comfortably hold about 20 large size capsules and up to 30+ pills.
I have around 400 of these bottles and looking for 40p a bottle. I will do free delivery by courier if someone buys the whole lot, else it will be by Royal Mail based on weight.. Might be expensive to ship them overseas so probably only useful to UK vendors, but happy to ship smaller quantities Airmail if some vendors want to try a few..
Obviously it goes without saying...same precautions apply as normal SR trading and I won't store buyers details. Bitcoins payment is welcome.

That sounds like it'd be pretty useful for shipping items, assuming the size of the packaging wouldn't have to change too much...

I can fit three of them side by side in a small jiffy bag no problem. I think these containers might be ideal for shipping smelly stuff.. I've just got some smelly weed so will do a test with a container bottle then report back shortly to see if there is any smell.

Just done the smell test put in about 1g of C99 weed and put the sealed lid on.
It's a really tight fit you have to push the lid on with a lot of pressure and once its on you can't remove it by hand you need to wrench it off with a flat head screwdriver if you want to see what's inside without breaking the seal and opening the lid.
Although it's not completely airtight as I previously thought (there are two pin-sized holes where the seal begins and ends - so no good for holding liquids) there is no smell noticeable at all from the weed. It's totally contained with the lid is on. Another good benefit is that you can't see through these opaque if you hold them up to sunlight or a bright lamp.. I noticed on my weed purchase that could be a problem with normal vac sealing and jiffy bags.. if you hold it up to a bright light you can see the shape of the weed easily.
I reckon you could get at least 10-15g of weed into one of these containers if you cut it up into smaller pieces.

A great packaging method. Never had any pills seized when shipped in similar containers.
