Tony, I used to be whse. mgr. and unless you find a local box mfg. who is willing to work with you you will be hard pressed to do better than Uline. I am 1 frugal person and they were the cheapest and had damn good customer service too. Good luck!

eBay is far too expensive for boxes.

Tony, try locally to see if there are places where you could get something.

Some local dime & dollar store may have something.

Read the below thread where we enjoyed a discussion

If you live in a major city do a google search for shipping supplies "your city". I found a great supplier here in Denver that way. Good luck.

http://www.psausa.com/ is a really good one to use especially if your close to the branch.

Before I started going back to school I was selling a ton of items so I found a local manufacturer of boxes who actually took me on as a customer on a low scale.

I'll have to try this next time......When I am getting low on supplies, I keep visiting officemax.com. They always have b1g1 on shipping supplies and i'll stack that with a 20% off coupon. Plus an extra 10% off for using a cashback link/and discover biz card.......eh it works for me

I'm lucky my products all fit in the small flat rate or padded flat rate priority envelopes , so I get them all free

But for fragile stickers , bubble wrap , boxes, and tape I been using threeb on ebay they have great prices , excellent service and fast shipping

I purchases 100 cube boxes 4*4*4 for one item ill sell it fits perfect in there and than I put the cube in the padded envelope

[Dmshark25]

If anyone gets free postage supplies from USPS , start stocking up now because they will be so backed up come the holidays certain items will be hard to get I remember last Christmas,

[TonyAlmeida]

threeb is great

[Dmshark25]

Yea I just got 36 rolls of tape 700ft of bubble wrap, 250 4*4*4 boxes and an awesome tape gun makes things so easy and they are fast

Those officemax coupons always seem to expire so quickly

the hamster?

Did he empty the boxes first or use the cereal as packing filler?

[rsot]

The boxes are empty (cereal + bag) are gone - nice box for shipping

[GreenBean]

aw, cute.

Multi-colored boxes.

He did not buy generic cereal though?

Those boxes are boring.

[rsot]

All kinds of trademarks - colourful and such - sturdy too

If you live in an area where you can actually pick up yourself from U-Line it would be cool. But for me I did the math and I would seriously have to get like a pallet of boxes to get the shipping costs low enough that it works out in my favor.

@vogeltron

Just scored a local supplier here in OZ. Can drop in and load up.

Exciting find
