Joey,

The 12 bottle boxes were picked up off Ebay.   An Ebay dealer in Florida either commissioned or somehow acquired a bunch (hundreds) of contemporary IPBs that are being sold.  It appears these bottles were shipped over in the 12 compartment boxes.  Not having any use for the boxes once the bottles are sold, the dealer was then offering the boxes on Ebay.  They are used and some have depressed padding due to long term bottle storage, but they functioning just fine for my bottles and were only costing $20/box or a little less, depending on the bids at the time.

In the last week or so, one of the Chinese Ebay dealers was offering up I believe 10 bottle (5X2) boxes.
