Two Best Ways to Buy in Fargo
Buy in Bulk Online (Best for 10+ drums)
Price: $7 per drum
Where: RePackify website
How it works: You request a quote online. They calculate shipping costs based on how many drums you want.
Best for: Businesses, farms, or groups buying together
Buy from Local Sellers (Best for 1-5 drums)
Price: $25 per drum
Where: Private sellers in West Fargo area
How it works: You call or text the seller. Meet them to pick up drums.
Best for: Home users who need just a few drums
What to Check Before You Buy
Look for cracks or holes: Run your hand along the drum surface. No cracks means no leaks.
Smell the inside: If it smells like chemicals, you'll need to clean it thoroughly before using it for water.
Check the lid: Make sure it closes tight. A loose lid means spills.
Ask what was stored in it: Food-grade drums (held things like corn syrup) are safest. Chemical drums need more cleaning.
Real Example: What One Fargo Buyer Did
Sarah from Fargo needed 3 drums for rainwater collection. She first looked at new drums - $180 total. Then she found a local seller charging $25 each. She spent $75 total and saved $105.
She checked each drum for cracks, cleaned them with soap and water, and now collects 165 gallons of rainwater for her garden.
Quick Price Comparison
1-2 drums: Buy local for $25 each
3-9 drums: Compare local ($25 each) vs bulk ($7 + shipping)
10+ drums: Buy bulk online for $7 each
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't skip the smell test: Chemical odors mean extra cleaning work.
Don't forget about transportation: A 55-gallon drum weighs 40+ pounds empty. Bring help or a truck.
Don't assume food-grade: Ask the seller what was stored in the drum before.
