HAND SANITIZER ORDERS

Mississippi River Distilling Company is responding to the coronavirus pandemic by converting our distillery to a hand sanitizer production facility.  We thank you for your overwhelming response to our hand sanitizer production.  We are making as much as we can, as fast as we can.  We have a new ordering system to help us manage the large volume of orders.

Pricing:

1 gallon jug $50 (Available at K&K Hardware in Bettendorf-Click for more info)

Case of four 1 gallon jugs $160 ($40 each)

55 gallon drum $1,925 ($35 per gallon)

Palette configurations:  4 drums (1500#) or 192 gallon jugs (48 cases of four-1490#).

THREE WAYS TO BUY:

1) BULK ORDERS AT THE DISTILLERY

If you want to buy hand sanitizer by the case (four 1 gallon jugs per case) or by the 55 gallon drum, click the button below to go to our online portal.

You will not be invoiced to pay for your order until it is ready for pickup.

At least 24 hours before pickup, you will receive a Paypal invoice with pickup and payment instructions.

This product cannot be shipped via typical ground carriers because of the high alcohol content.

We are offering LTL shipment on order of 9 cases or more or by the 55 gallon drum.

When stock is depleted, the ordering system will show out of stock.

BULK ORDERS FOR THIS BATCH SOLD OUT

We are working to get ingredients for the next batch here.  We hope to have orders open again around April 17.

Fill out the form below to be notified when we are taking orders again.  For those people who submitted an order on the current batch, orders on this batch will be filled by April 15.  Watch your e-mail for notification of a paypal invoice when your order is ready.

2) SINGLE GALLON PURCHASES AT K&K HARDWARE

We are partnering with K&K Hardware in Bettendorf to help handle the large volume of orders.  If you would like less than 1 case (4 gallons) of sanitizer, click the button below to go to their ordering form.  Your order will be fulfilled by K&K, not the distillery.

3) PERSONAL SIZE BOTTLES AT SIMPLY SOOTHING

We are working with SImply Soothing (The Bug Soother People) in Columbus Junction, Iowa to provide smaller size bottles.  They are offering 1.8 oz, 3.6 oz and 7.0 oz bottles.  These smaller bottles are available from the Simply Soothing website.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN CAN I GET IT?

We are filling priority orders for health care, law enforcement, government agencies and large employers out of each batch before releasing the remainder to the online portal.  We are sending hundreds of gallons from each batch to K&K Hardware so there is community availability in the Quad Cities.  We’re also supplying sanitizer to Bug Soother in Columbus Junction, Iowa so they can provide smaller bottles.   If you place an order on our online portal, we will fill it within 1 week.  When stock is depleted, the online portal will not accept orders.  Check back often for new releases.

WHAT IS IT?

The government has approved one very straightforward and basic formula. This will be 80% ethyl alcohol with peroxide, glycerin and water. It is a straight forward institutional style sanitizer solution. This is not a gel and has no fragrance added. It will easily work in a spray bottle as it has a watery consistency.

WHAT IS THE PRICE?

We are selling it for $50 per gallon for single gallons ($0.39 per ounce) or $40 per gallon for orders of 4 gallons or more. ($0.31 per ounce).  We’ve had people ask about the pricing.  We are charging for it.  The reality is that this is keeping us in business at a time when we are otherwise shut down while also filling a community need.  We’re doing all we can to keep the pricing reasonable.  Comparable Purell high alcohol sanitizer is priced at $0.34 an ounce retail (which is sold out).  A local hardware store is working with us as their wholesaler was offering a comparable product for $100 a gallon.

CAN YOU SHIP IT TO ME?

Most orders will need to be picked up at our facility at 303 North Cody Road in LeClaire.  Because of the high alcohol content, this product is flammable.  Therefore, it is not allowed to be shipped by USPS, UPS, FedEx or comparable carriers.  We are working with local LTL trucking companies who will be able to haul this hazardous material via palette load.  The cost for shipping is $100 per palette around Iowa and Illinois.  Minimum shipping quantity is 9 cases or 1 55 gallon drum.  If you are shipping elsewhere, we will provide a shipping quote before you pay.

HOW WILL IT BE DISPENSED?

This will be packaged in bulk one gallon jugs.  There is not a pump attached.  We encourage people to save any dispenser bottles they might have and use this product as a refill.  This product works best in spray bottles.  It will work in a pump, but the spray bottle is more effective and will minimize waste.

WILL YOU MAKE A SMALLER BOTTLE?

We are working with Bug Soother in Columbus Junction, Iowa to provide smaller quantities.  Click here to order 1.8 oz, 3.6 oz or 7 oz bottles on their website.

CAN YOU TAKE MY ORDER?

We are releasing inventory to the website as we have availability.  So check back often for availability.
