Shipping Supplies Boxes Poly Mailer Suppliers that except PayPal

[nate]

With all the years of experience collected here at this forum I thought It may be helpful to compile a list of Shipping Supply Suppliers that except PP outside of EB.

I use EcoSwift.com for quality poly Mailers in bulk. Most of their prices are cheaper than anything you can find on ebay and have free shipping on most mailers.

You can literally buy a years worth of poly mailers with bubbles for the price of a two weeks supply if your buying them from Walmart.

If someone would post a box supplier who's total costs are cheaper than anything they've found on EB and who excepts PP I would appreciate it. It seems shipping charges are the killer when buying boxes in bulk.

Sunuku.com is the cheapest supplier you're going to find for bubble mailers, without importing container loads from China. They accept Paypal and they are an actual manufacturer, so their prices blow ecoswift out of the water.

Just read the bit about boxes. I might have to actually BUY a shipping box 4 or 5 times per year for huge orders, and in those cases I got to walmart and pay $1.50 for a 24"x24"x18". I ship about 15-20 boxes per day and use USPS Priority boxes. They are free and you can get all the way up to a 12x12x8 from USPS.com. I stashed a bunch of regional rate C boxes before they did away with them at the beginning of the year and they are like 12x16x12 or some big size like that.

This was helpful, I have also been looking for cheaper shipping supplies.
Thanks

Boxes are expensive to ship when buying in bulk. I go through 100 14x10x6's every couple months. The only way I've found to beat Walmart prices is to buy 100 at a time off ebay. But you cant do that for every size you need on hand. The 14x10x6 is the main size box I use. They actually cost a cent or so more than buying single boxes from Walmart but I cut a few ounces using the 14x10x6 over the closest size Walmart has so in the long run save money on shipping. Some times an ounce can be the difference of 5 or more dollars.

I'm starting to think the only way to get a good price on boxes in bulk is to find a local distributor and pick them up locally.

Have you even looked at the selection on USPS.com? They are 100% free and they have at least 20 different sizes. Other couriers also give away free boxes.

12x12x6 Large FRB = 864 cubic inches
14x10x6 = 840 cubic inches

Not much of a difference, lol. Plus you can cover up the part that says "large flat rate box" and ship it with cubic or weight rates.

Im' confused... I just looked at USPS.com... It seems to good to be true. There has to be a catch... It can be that easy... Can it? All those size boxes are free? I even logged in and went to the check out to see what shipping would be with my zip and it said Sub Total=$0 Shipping=$0 Total=$0

I know flat rate wont work, too expensive. From what I can tell Priority Mail Express is more than reg Priority. But the boxes that only say Priority Mail should be good. Going to order some and see how it goes.

I order free Priority Mail bubble mailers and use them for bubble wrap for my items...then I put my item in a another bubble mailer:

You can use Priority boxes for any Priority shipment. I use Medium Flat Rate boxes almost daily, but most of the time it's cheaper to ship them by weight so I just put a Priority mail sticker over the part that says "medium flat rate box" and it goes right through.

The only catch with USPS supplies is you have to use Priority boxes for Priority mail. But since anything over 1lb has to be shipped Priority anyway, it's not much of a catch.
