Any shoe shippers here?
 

Got lucky and came across a kid selling his collection of shoes he collected over the years. Needless to say i got a really good deal. Now I got a huge collection of shoes that i plan to sell. Now the thing is to find the cheapest way to ship them.

I found usps shoe boxes but these are a bit bigger and won't fit in the boxes they provide. Any suggestions?

I have bought new shoes off pallets and they would not fit in theose shoe boxes so I ordered a roll of kraft heavy duty paper. Wrapped the box and added the label.

PKGING - Cardboard Boxes, Packaging Supplies, Shipping Supplies, Packaging Materials, Poly Bags

This is the cheapest place I have found for boxes in a variety of sizes.

Awesome share Jeff.

Thanks

U-Line might have the right size box you need also.

Some retail stores also throw out boxes by the loads when customers dont want them. Nice to use for shipping.

Thanks for the suggestions and posts guys. Here is something that i found. It's an awesome trick for those who ship smaller sized shoe boxes. I doubt this will work for the shoe size boxes i have to ship but i'll give it a try and report back tomorrow. Here is the video:

What if some buyer got annoyed that the shoes turned up in a wrongly labelled box?

Seriously, I have friends who keep ALL their shoes in the original boxes. It is part of the shoe buying fetish. Shoes & box must match.

:doh:

Depending on the weight, the USPS is the way to go. Have you tried pricing with UPS or Fedex?

You might be able to find boxes online that will fit your exact needs, then get quotes from usps.com

It can also depend on distance. Sometimes, UPS can be the best option. Shipping software like Endicia can tell you what your cheapest shipping option is.

Uline.com has all sized boxes at great prices

There can be haters, true - that youtube video it is then along with U-line exploration.

Shipped a few shoes before in different boxes - hasnt been an issue but I hear your idea
