cenmed is changing their prices; What's another good place to get petri dishes?

I ordered a case of 500 3 section petri dishes 4-5 days ago from cenmed and got a call on monday that they can't fill that order for at least another 3-4 weeks and the price will be significantly higher. He wouldn't give me an exact number, but I asked if it would be around $120-140 and he said that was about right. That sucks because I was really looking forward to getting my first agar attempt under my belt by next week. Now I'm wondering if there are any other places that sell 3-section plastic petri dishes for around $80 like cenmed did. I don't mind paying a little extra money, but it's kinda disappointing to almost double the price of petri dishes. The guy said the single section dishes would be the same price so i might just order a couple cases of those, but i'd still like to get the 3 section dishes as well. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I got a dozen plain glass ones from Edmund Scientific. They had all kinds, it's worth checking to see if they have what you want.

wow. i did do a search, i actually searched around google and whatnot for about an hour and I actually went to that site. I must've just punched in the wrong quantity because I thought they wanted around $140 for 500. Anyway, It's much appreciated. Thanks guys!

the guy is scamming you, a small storefront in a stripmall, he's probably having it dropshipped from another company, the strip is shared with several other places like brothers electronics, a few notes... there's no address on the website to send a purchase order, not even a P.O. Box, the new prices arent reflected on the site nor is there a notice of them being sold out... either hold him to the price or cancel the order

I'm curious: why would one want a 3 section petri dish to begin with? I can't figure out the advantage over a regular one.

For strain isolations, you can't beat the three section dishes. You're only letting the mycelium grow for a few days before making the next transfer, so you can to three times the amount of work on each dish. The four section dishes are great too. I don't even order the plain dishes anymore. RR
