Default Cheapest site for shipping supplies

Ive been purchasing boxes from Uline.com for the past couple orders. I thought they were the cheapest but i found out that shippingsupply.com is much cheaper. Anyone know a site thats cheaper than them?

Ebay is by far the cheapest. I did use papermart.com for awhile though.

Well for example. On shippingsupply.com 1000 of the #1 padded mailers is $189.50 plus shipping which according to the site would be $118.50 to my house. That would be $308 delivered. I can get the same thing on Ebay for $179 with free shipping.

I guess it depends on what you buy. I was only looking at boxes. And shipping seems free on them. $28 for a 100 boxes free shipping sounds like a REALLY good deal to me.

I first started off with Walmart boxes (.69) per box. Found Uline.com (.37) I think? per box. Shipping supplies seems to be cheaper!! :o Then again, Uline warehouse is like 15 minutes from my house (: I'll look into this site ;D

So, for 200 8x8x4 here is my results

Shipping Supplies:
57.36 for boxes + 48.30 for shipping = 105.66
Uline:
76.00 for boxes + 29.10 for shipping = 105.10

Not sure the shipping speed for Shipping Supplies, but with Uline, I get it the next day.

They do give out free boxes but that is only for Priority Mail which is the most expensive way to ship a item with the USPS. So depending on what you sell most of the time it isn't the most cost effective route to go.

If you look locally - you can get even lower prices. Look around on craigslist or on kijiji. I found a supplier who was selling it for 50% cheaper than uline. In Canada's its especially harder to find cheap shipping supplies - due to expensive shipping costs.

Loophole, when I ordered from them they had free shipping and there warehouse is in NY. Or at least that is where it came from when I ordered it. The shipping is super fast to depending on what you order, usually 3-5 business days.
