Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

I need boxes 18x14x6 and I just can't find anything.. Even kraft bubbled enveloppe would do the trick.. I just can't find antyhing. Where do you guys find your shipping materials? I'm shipping briefcases

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

You can google and see if you guys have Uline company in Canada. They have all sorts of shipping supplies...

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

Yes, uline is most likely the cheapest you will find for Canada. They do ground delivery for any amount for flat $40. I am not sure where you are located but to Vancouver, BC they deliver from Seattle, WA in 1-2 days.

Uline always looks so expensive here.

I've been getting my bubble mailers on Amazon, but every time I have to start from scratch, the mailer market is very volatile.

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

Try THREERB on eBay for bubble mailers. He ships very fast and is among the cheapest sellers. He is located in NY, so I'm reasonably sure he ships to Canada, but I don't know what the shipping cost is.

For boxes, I use PKGING.COM - they have low prices and fast shipping AND will print your logo on the boxes for cheap, even when you just order 100 boxes! But the thing I like most about them is they are fairly close to me, so I can always pick up if I need to.

So how much money are you saving by picking the item up compared to shipping cost. Thanks for the post I need a decent guy when I'm in a jam and need polymailers quick. I get pissed when people bull**** you and want to drop ship it and expect you to wait :doh:

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

USPS>com gives you free bublle mailes...5.70 to ship. And you can also turn them inside out and put a poly bag over them to ship.

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

hahah at turnig them inside out that's a good one. Can yoiu still order those in bundles off the website. I remember I had 25 bundles of 25 sent to me for hat boxes 7x7x6,I originally ment to order just one bundle which was 25 I ended up giving some back to the post office they never carry there so people did apperciate them.

They come in boxes of 100 padded envelopes, I'll usually get 500 at a time , sometimes USPS,ships them quick but other times they take forever, so I always have a nice stock, I ship all Priority mail

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

Are the padded ones flat rate? Last time I ordered from them they never sent me anything that was awhile ago I mine as well order a bunch of them

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

Yes the padded are flat rate

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

I search craigslist for people giving away moving boxes, I get bubble mailers/tape from Amazon, and packing paper/material/bubble wrap from craigslist or the local Goodwill Outlet store.

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

It isn't so much saved by being able to pick up - they just charge what UPS charges them - but in a pinch it is nice to know I can get them quickly.

And THREERB is not a drop-shipper, his stuff almost always goes out the same day or the next day. I've been using him for years.

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

USPS has a variety of box sizes available for free if you use priority mail. Look through their catalog, there is a 16x13x3 box 1095 that is close to what you need.

I use 18x16x4 also, bought them from a seller on ebay, pack of 25 at a time.

Re: Where do you guys find your shipping supplies?
 

I second Jeff.

THREERB is great, I use him for everything (packing tape, envelopes, bubble wrap, etc etc)
