Shipping boxes what company do you use?

[ModernHermine]

Ok I am breaking down to buy boxes. It will save customers money if the box is the appropriate size and me from driving around in a truck trying to find appropriate size boxes. I think the Dollar store employees are getting annoyed by my request for used boxes anyway. And everyone is buying machines to crush the box on site!!! So sad.

I have no issue re-using boxes for fabric and non-breakables if they still look new.

Maybe I am nuts but I hate seeing gross beat-up boxes arriving at my doorstep with a pampers ad on the side?

I thought if the box was nice enough they could re-use it again?

I was looking for white shipping boxes anyone know a good company?

I saw Uline it seems to be the cheapest any tips? Plus the boxes at Walmart are all tall and deep not short and wide?

Then I figure I would have to raise my prices about a 1.50 each?

Uline.com. No tips -- they're great :) And you'll get your boxes in about 1-2 days.

I of all the irony use Staples. and no I"m not realated to the guy who invented staples. lol. Trust me I would have hit him up sooo long ago. lol

My store has a good selection of plain white and natural boxes with all different shapes and sizes. Mine come in a package of 8 and there like 9 dollars so there a little over a dollar a piece. But I like that its consistant, if I print out labels by paypal then I know how much it weighs etc.

I reuse boxes too as long as they are in good shape. My mom orders a lot of books, So if the box is still in good condition and the approprate size I will use it.

Hmmmm I was going to do it then the shipping seemed like it was so much...Then I thought the gas to go get boxes 3x a week is probably the same thing and then the stress of finding the perfect fitting box.....

Maybe I will order today?

I'll cast my vote for Uline. They've been great to me ... fast shipping, great products, fantastic customer support ... not to mention their rock-bottom pricing.

I've used Uline.com to ship rare books. They provide great service and good prices.

Now that I ship gift tags, cards, and photography, I use flat mailers that I purchased on Amazon.

Yeah if I could get boxes in very good condition I will. But with glass I just can't do it. I don't want broken items? I went to staples last night the larger brown boxes were 5.99-3.99 YIKES...At walmart same box is only $.40-$1.78

Looks like Uline is getting get reviews here...off to shop

Uline is who I use when I am not shipping USPS priority :O) Their boxes are a good quality and have excellent customer service!

[ModernHermine]

It pains me to use money from a recent sale to buy boxes..LOL

but it also pains me to not have the right box....I guess it will pay for itself in shipping charges.... at some point..


Thank you already ordered!!
