Tiny, Robust and Cheap
The media could not be loaded. So yes the images can make these little bottles appear a lot bigger in photos, but I guess it can be hard if you are just taking photos of the bottles and have no reference items, however there is enough information that if they end up too small, it isn't the sellers fault, I don't believe it to be a case of purposely misleading but more a case of our own perception of things and not having and understanding of or not checking the sizing beforehand.Not that that bit is out of they way.I only received them now, so not had much time to test them,Timeline:Ordered: Wednesday 2nd March 2022 at 23:47Dispatched: Thursday 3 Mar 2022, 09:27amEstimated to arrive by Monday 7th MarchArrived: Saturday 5th March 2022 around 13:00 via Royal MailTo start the postal lady handed them over hesitantly telling me in horror she thought I had broken glass in the box as it rattled a lot, so she was so relieved when I said they are little bottles and her worry turned to a humoursess smile.The Packaging:A brown cardboard box, plain, with a Royal Mail 48 shipping labelInside a sticker receipt invoice label with tiny writting.No padding, but the bottles appear sturdy and strong, no signs of damage to box or content.Minimal space wastage, box almost full to the top with some space. So packaging size is spot on and no wastage from excessive packaging.Opened the box and took the photos included for size refference. I have small hands I am a 5ft female, also for reference an advanced FireTV remote. So hopefully this gives a good idea of size for those like myself that struggle with numbers including sizes. I have discalculia so can't tell the difference between 5cm and 50cm I can't memorise numbers, sizes accurately, so hoping these photos and references help you.I immediately screwed a top on in two random parts, bottle and cap with a perfect, easy, tight fit.Took another bottle and cap at random and filled partially with water to allow better visibility of contents in the bottle, as a full bottle could look the same as an empty bottle.In the video included I briefly give it some hard handling with the water contents by hitting it on my bedside table, a few drops and taps. Liquid appears to be well contained and no cracks. Might seem silly but some plastic bottles are so fragile they would break or show cracking, this however felt sturdy throughout and no signs of weakness.I have had it sat upside down with the liquid for 30 minutes and no leaks, the lid and table are completely dry.When standing upright the base appears level, an issue with some cheaper ones that looked the same were reviews that they wouldn't stand up properly, These however seem to have a nice sturdy flat base. They are however tiny bottles so would be easy to knock over, but that is general effects of gravitational forces and slim tall item that is small and light, and not any products defects.If I encounter any issues I will do my best to update this review, but as far as tiny sample bottles go. If for liquid samples, little beads, small items like a couple of pandora beads maybe, they appear sturdy and well constructed.And for the price they work out very cheap per item, I paid £11.99 (£9.99 + £2.00 VAT)Divide that with 100 items and that comes to about £0.10 + £0.02 VAT = £0.12 total per bottle.I hope this review or any of its contents were helpful, please press the helpful bottle if it was.I was in no way paid or sponsored to do this review.

Very good value
Bought these for my geocaching hobby. Keep the log sheet nice and dry and also ideal for inner containers.

Perfect for aquarists to use for water parameter testing.
I was actually going to review these items anyway, but the auto-email came through before I got round to it.I ordered these to supplement/replace the glass ones that came with a Master Test Kit and these are better in so many ways...1) They're a fraction of the cost of replacement/additional branded tubes.2) They're available in batches of 20, 40 or 100 rather than the 4 that come with the test kit (handy for MTS).3) They're wider and therefore more stable when stood on end and being plastic rather than glass, they're also more durable (I've already had one of the original glass tubes topple and break).4) The screw cap is much more secure than the crappy push-on caps that leak during the Nitrate test shake.5) They're clearly marked with graduation lines, the second from top being the 5 ml level; which then leaves ample space left to add the necessary amount of reagent(s).p.s. I've carried out the same tests simultaneously in these and the glass tubes and saw no difference in the results in glass / plastic.

Good value - no leaks
Bought these for storing one dose of 5ml liquid medicine for the bedside and for travel.Despite originally receiving the wrong item, the company quickly sent out the correct item.The container is perfect, the cap is secure, no leakage, and easily cleaned. Will buy again when needed.

Cheap but watch out for cracked tubes.
Out of the 2 packs bought, there were 2 with cracked bodies which were unusable as leaked. The type of packing used would have been ok had the tubes been of a non brittle type of plastic These are the brittle and fragile type so if they are packed together without padding and in a jiffy type bag will break if dropped. Obviously mine gad been and the two tubes took the strain.The price and tubes that were un cracked was fine.

Perfect and secure
These tubes do what they say on the tin.I use them to send out liquids is baking boxes. I should have ordered a bigger size really but these still do the job. Ver secure scre top lid and thick enough not to worry about them cracking in the post.Would buy again.
