New shipment of prepackaged chilldust by Hess Pumice USA. Much higher costs of repackaged chilldust from USA but I have kept prices almost same as before
I actually got only 904 kg of chilldust imported as the boxes, vacuum bags take up volume and weight too. I’ve to pay for these plus labour cost of packaging before shipment. Plus Sg GST 9% tax and forwarding agent and delivery agent. Even to unload from lorry has cost. Bring into shop also chargeable. Really absurd.
Sometimes what you see elsewhere their selling price is actually lower than my cost price. May also be imported from Taobao etc. May not even be chilldust as told by Hess pumice. Perhaps in future I just get the 11.26 kg packs in for sale instead. Hope it’s win win

“Available commercial dust comparison, 2021.
-Blue Cloud - from the Blue Cloud mine in California (now defunct) is still for sale in very limited quantities, Tiffany's Chinchillas sells it.
-Sweet PDZ is a Zeolite and can be picked up at most farm stores. It comes in granular and powdered. I prefer granular myself.
-Fuller's Earth based - I am seeing a lot of these right now, they mix this clay base with a little sand or something else. It is harmless but really dries out the ears and feet.
-Blue Sparkle - silicate based and sparkly! This dust is one of the oldest and has been around and in use 70+ years. It can be purchased in bulk in 50lb bags.
-Chill Dust - Ground pumice from the Hess Pumice mine in Idaho. It can be purchased from their website or from the mine in 50-500 pound bags.
