Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style

I am now offering a professional tumbling service for anyone who is interested with the digger Ry touch. As you can see from the picture below (my most recent bottles fresh from the tumbler) I can turn the most nasty stained bottles sparkling mint. You can now take pride in displaying your hard earned dug bottles on your top shelve in minty fresh condition.  I will be adding some before and after pictures to show the difference but as of now I do not have any because I have been to excited to get the bottles clean. I can tumble bottles up to 5 inches in diameter safely all the way down to one inch in diameter. Round, square, rectangle, it doesn’t matter.

Prices for forum members are currently:

12.50 – Round bottles that need just a polish (Fast speed)
15.00 – Square, Rectangle, Fragile bottles that need just a polish (slow speed)
22.50 – Round bottles that need a light Cut and Polished (fast speed)
32.50 - Round bottles that need Cut twice then polished (fast speed) Only for very badly etched bottles
25.00 - Square, Rectangle, Fragile Bottles light Cut and Polished (Slow Speed)
35.00 - Square, Rectangle, Fragile Bottles that need Cut twice then polished (Slow speed) Only for Very badly etched bottles
5.00  - extra for pontil bottles & ground top jars/bottles
Very large bottles that must go in a 6 inch canister will be 5 dollars extra per step
Shipping to and from will also be in addition to the above prices.
(Large orders will receive a discount)

Jan 1st 2010 price change –

There will be a $1.50 increase per bottle for orders of 5 or less bottles. Orders of 6 or more bottles will have no increased charge


Please note – I have tumbled many large orders for local diggers and many bottles of my own with great results. However I can not take responsibility for bottles that may be damaged through shipping or through the tumbling process. I have yet to break a bottle during tumbling, even those pontils with the flaired thin lips! But in a worse case scenario, a bottle does break I am now offering optional insurance, see details below.

Now offering optional tumbling insurance –

For those that need a little extra protection in their investment, I am now offering tumbling insurance. If you choose to add my insurance option and a bottle breaks completely or sever damage occurs in my possession, I will personally pay for it up to the cost you declared. Examples covered – bottle breaks in the tumbler, I drop a bottle and its severely damaged or breaks, canister explodes breaking bottle inside.  Exceptions - Damages not covered – cracks, flakes, potstone radiations. Some bottles are extremely stained and hide small cracks/potstone radiations and flakes that are unseen until tumbled. Also I may turn down any bottle for extra insurance at my discretion before I tumble. Examples of bottles that would not qualify for the insurance option would be bottles with existing cracks or radiating pot stones.

Prices for tumbling insurance will be 10% of declared value.
Example
50 dollar insurance – 5.00
200 dollar insurance – 20.00


Also I would strongly suggest that you insure all bottles both ways (to me and from me) through the mail.

If you would like, I can send you pictures of your bottles through email to show you the finial result before you bottle is mailed back.

Thank you and happy Digging!

Digger Ry

Looks great Ryan. I have stuff I'd love to get done but it's that pesky shippin'. I just can't justify $15 two way plus the cost (which if I could drop them off would be bargain) to tumble a $40-50 dollar bottle. Good luck with yor venture though.

Tony, No prob it will be done by the end of the week

Eric, I can understand that. Best bet for you and anyone else is to send a bunch at one time, from what prices I have noticed when people send me there bottles are about 5-6 dollars for one bottle one way, and about 11 dollars for 4 bottles one way, I even had someone send me 10 bottles in one box and the price was about 18 dollars one way. Sending a larger amount brings down the overal cost alot. If that is not feasable, I would definitly try to find someone local who tumbles, once you get some cleaned its a whole differnt world :)

take care all
Digger Ry
