[...] I am carrying a water bottle with me. I prefer a bottle like the Klean Kanteen . I used to use a Sigg bottle but after the BPA fiasco I went through last year, I’ve ditched that and gone with a brand [...]

I love Mason jars! We have a ton of them from canning veggies. I like drinking out of them around the house. I could even knit myself a huggie! Thanks for the idea!

Green smoothie love!! I’ll have to look into the Polar Bottle sport bottles. Thanks for the recommendation!

I think I am going to send them back. Why not?

The way I understood it is that I have to foot the postage. I think they should cover the shipping but I guess they aren’t.

Ask them if they will cover your postage. It never hurts to ask. (:
If they do, then you really have come out on top on the financial side.

Alternatively, if the whole thing is just too frustrating, may I recommend the following:

It’s not as pretty as a Sigg bottle—but it TOTALLY works. Especially if you get the regular mason jar lid. If you are worried about breakage, a huggie works well.

Admittedly, I don’t do a lot of activities that make me worry about breakage, so this works for me. But if you are out and about, being athletic with bicycles and hiking, replacing your Sigg is a good idea.

I hear good things about Klean Kanteen, but I am reticent to drink out of aluminum because it sets the fillings in my teeth on edge. Ug.

Hi! I thought the shipping label they included would cover the return postage? I understand that you mistrust the company now and may not want the new bottles anyway.

For me it’s a no brainer. The empty bottles weigh next to nothing and should fit easily in one of the USPS priority boxes. Postage will probably be about $5-6. That’s a lot less than buying brand new bottles. I’m sure SIGG after getting egg on its face is going to make sure they’re BPA free.

Personally though I like Polar Bottle sport bottles. As someone who consumes a lot of green smoothies, I’ve found it keeps it cooler longer than anything else I’ve tried at a reasonable price (about $10 for 24oz bottle).
