Hey guys!
I've been doing some hunting around the interwebs for 'wholesale' cheap down suppliers. I'm just now getting some responses in from various US sources, and I wanted to post what I've found so far. If there is a thread out there that has information like this already, please direct me that way.
I've already placed an order through ZhongRui Eider Down (They are not selling eiderdown...) out of China through AliExpress (a offshoot company of Alibaba).http://www.aliexpress.com/store/grou...ryId=100000939
I am awaiting shipment of 1 kilograms of 95% white goose down. You can purchase in 250 gram (8.8 oz) increments at $43.70 a piece with free shipping (i imagine the shipping is subject to change). They list the 'Washing degree' at 800+ and the 'fluffy degree' 700+... so I am expecting 700+ fill power material and will be quite happy if it is 800+.
I have recieved responses from Cuddledown and Ronco Furniture.
Cuddledown (cuddledown.com) sells in 1lb increments and sent me these prices:
700 Fill White Duck Down- 1lb: $49.76, 2lbs: $99.52.
700 Fill White Goose Down- 1lb: $101.12, 2lbs: $202.24.
Ronco Furniture (roncofurniture.com) sent me this response:
We do sell 800 fill power 100 % Hungarian Goose Down.
The price for this product would be $95/ lb.
We can handle what ever quantities that you need.
I'm awaiting some more responses (some folks who supply DownTek! I hope they get back to me), and will post as I get them in.
