We were thinking about buying a higher quantity and selling them locally. If we shipped a larger number, the shipping costs come down.
The price per can is $219 before shipping.The shipping costs are insane however. To ship ONE trashcan, the cost averages $200. So, to purchase a bearicuda, the cost is ~$400.
Would you be interested in purchasing one of these locally?
I think we are going to try to DIY ours. Our current system has worked, but this summer, a big boy pulled up the front corner and tore it open. Hubby has machine shop and welding equipment. We may just try to put the steel band around and steel and locks at front corners and see how that goes first.
I put my garbage out in the morning, not a big deal, when the bears are out. If I had to put it out the night before I might spend more to secure it. My neighbors always put it out the night before and end up once or twice a year cleaning up the mess. Get up by 7 once a week .
the bear ripped our can wide open 15 minutes after we put the cans out last week. We have steel inserts and carabiner locking system (see <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="

yeah.... and the kicker is they usually don't get here before 1:30, but they have come in morning a couple of times. They won't come back if you don't have your trash out by 7, so we have to put it out. They are locked, but it only takes once.
