AOZITA 24 Pcs Glass Spice Jars with Labels - 4oz Empty Square Spice Bottles Containers, Condiment Pot, Shaker Lids and Airtight Metal Caps - Silicone Collapsible Funnel

The spice bottles arrived in pristine condition with no breakage, residue(s) or smell(s). They were shipped in sturdy cardboard outer packaging with a cardboard divider system inside. I purchased this set for my 20 basic homemade (non-pork) sausage making spices and herbs. After receiving these, I am going to order six more cases to put the rest of our spices and herbs in.I like to leave the plastic sprinkle/pour covers on for the sake of giving the metal caps a better seal with the bottles since there are no gaskets. This will help keep the spices fresher longer. It only takes about 1/10th of a second to pull the plastic cover off and snap back on. Small inconvenience for a non-shaker and a non-sprinkler.The 4 oz. bottles are large enough to accommodate probably 98% of the herbs and spices bought at the local supermarket and online. The exception are the bulk purchases that come in larger bottles or pouches. After filling bottles from bulk spices, I store the surplus in a cool dark pantry in Food Saver sealed pouches.The problem is that few of us buy all of our herbs and spices from the same processer. And each one of them seems to have their own shapes and sizes. This can make shelf storage disorganized and bulky even with a spice rack. These 4 oz. bottles are a uniform solution that only enhance shelf storage and make finding the right spice quickly a real snap. The uniformity also sooths OCD.I found the included labels to be virtually worthless. White lettering on a clear background is cool and a favorite of mine. But when the list only includes about 1/2 of the labels needed it becomes a funky chaotic mess to use white letter and black dot labels (half of which have to be handwritten). The "Toothpick" spice label was an odd touch. You cannot have a Sweet Basil label, but you can have a Toothpick label. I digress. They should include only the white letter labels, or only black dot labels, with every known herb/spice. I just view the label sets as extra package padding and threw them out. I would still pay the $19.99 for 24 4 oz. spice jars which is a fairly standard rate unless you are a large processor buying your bottles in bulk.My solution was to use my Avery labels and online templates to create my own labels and to keep a uniform look. For me, personally, the white lettering makes it ten times easier to locate the spice I need. This, too, has a great calming effect for folks with OCD.The collapsable funnel is an appreciated cute touch but highly impractical if you are filling multiple spice jars during the same sitting. One would need to rinse out the funnel after each spice and let it dry. Fingers and thumb around the top of the bottle is the best funnel because it can be rinsed and dried in a seconds. Never cross contaminate spices until you are ready to mix them in your recipe.Practical thoughts:Whenever one purchases food storage items, an average person of rational reasoning and plain basic common sense would be smart enough to use warm soapy water and a hot water rinse to clean contaminates out of the product. This will clean out shop residue, shop odors, and human cross contamination The same can be said of clothing that has been tried on by how many unbathed or non-hand washing customers in a store.Broken bottles are not a product fault unless it can be demonstrated that there were deficiencies in the manufacturing. This is more likely a shipping issue. From the packaging, i would say to get broken bottles the box would have to be dropped from about ten to fifteen feet off the ground or fallen out of a delivery truck at about 45 miles an hour.

I was very pleased when my AOZITA spice organizing system came right on time, but when I opened the box I was BEDAZZLED, EXCITED, and AMAZED! This kit contains every item needed to get my spices neatly organized and beautiful. Plus, everything that comes with this system is top quality, so it will last for many years. The space saving square shaped bottles are made from clear, thick glass and have pretty silver metal easy to remove, yet well fitting, lids. Although the little funnel is the perfect size to assist in filling the bottles, I recommend using a tray or cookie sheet as the “filling station.” AOZITA has made labeling the spice bottles a breeze by providing THREE types of labels to choose from: perfectly sized black circles printed in white with every spice you’ve ever heard of (and quite a few I haven’t); plain black circles if you choose to write your own (YES, the kit comes with its own chalk pen!); and, should you prefer a vertical look, the third set of labels are clear with a larger print.I am so happy with this purchase that I can’t wait to get started organizing and beautifying, so…bye!

First, always wash stuff you buy before you use it. That's common sense. 2. If stuff breaks, it's a shipping issue; not a product issue. 3. Too many labels? That's a first. Rust? I've not experienced rust but WD-40 will take care of that.This is my third order of these fantastic jars and I've never received a broken one. The funnel is so-so. I just cup my left hand around the mouth of the jar to create a funnel and pour the spice into the jar with my right hand. The labels are FAB. YOU. LUSS. If you cook, and I mean really cook, you'll be happy to have your Garam Masala and Sazon and Gumbo File labels.A couple of tips; if you're going to put the label on the lid, close the jar first so that when you place your label, it will be aligned with the front of the jar. If you buy a second set, you'll receive the same set of labels which you can then use to put on the FRONT of the jar. Now that I've received another set (one set was a gift and I didn't keep the labels), I can affix labels to the front of the jar to make them easier to spot in the drawer without having to lift a jar.Each jar comes with a plastic lid that is a shaker/pourer and I seldom use those as I'm more about spooning or pouring spices into my hand. However, I have kept all those discs right inside the cap of each spice jar. I hope this makes sense.I've always received this in a sturdy cardboard box with a corrugated cardboard insert that separates jars from one another; the funnel was in the center space in a plastic bag.This set included some new labels I hadn't received before in the style of block lettering. You won't get a complete set of spices (as you do with the round, black labels) but they're nice enough and there's no reason you can't use them in some way. Mine will go into a scrapbook or greeting cards I make with a food motif.I've give clients a set of two or four jars filled with herbs or spices I think they may enjoy. I had my "business card" printed in a circle that I affix to the back of the jar, label the front of the jar, tie raffia with my business card attached, and it's a big hit. Think outside the box with these; they're quite elegant and modern looking and the quality of the glass is heavy.I'll keep buying these until I run out of spices to store or clients with whom to share.UPDATE: I figured out the funnel! It's fantastic!!! Put funnel in jar, pour spice into the funnel, and squeeze the funnel back and forth. Everything will go straight into that jar and none of it will stick to the silicone. I am now hooked on silicone funnels!

I love it!!! Great quality. Pleasantly surprised by the options for labeling. Size is exact. I am planning to buy more 👍🏼 worth the money

Great spice bottles! My spices are finally organized, and I can see what I actually have! These were packed with care and none arrived broken. Also it came with shaker/ pour spout lids, a funnel, labels, and a chalk marker to write your own spices on. I chose to use my own labels.
