I think both suppliers have done choc beans in the past.
Just think they were a poor seller due to cheap chocolate flavour.

I tried self packing them myself and they were a really poor seller

I am also a little wary of stocking them as a call-out for a jam caused by this would be unacceptable. I am siding towards no reorder at present which would be a shame as they would obviously be a popular line. Can nobody source them loose? even when I self packed similar chocolate beans they sold well and I am bemused why nobody at the main suppliers has done anything similar before.

Ordered 1 box of smarties to see how they go, opened it up and the lids are all raised up waiting to be jammed. Will be sending them back next week. I even emptied contents into the pot but looks very sparse in the tub especially with no stickers. So overall this is going to be a disaster I think.

Hi Lee, Do yours have the tubz vending stickers on the top or are they just plain and unstickered?

They are the unstickered tubz vending, are the labeled ones better?
