Where I Get My Shipping Supplies & Packing Materials for Ebay & Amazon Orders
Posted by admin in Ecommerce Friday, 28 October 2011 22:01 9 Comments
I utilize several different sources for my shipping supplies: www.usps.com – FREE Prioirty Mail boxes and envelopes www.uline.com – boxes for Parcel Post or international orders www.overstock.com – bubble mailers and boxes Sam’s Club – bubble mailers, tape and bubble wrap Staples – packing tape www.nashvillewraps.com – recycled packing paper When shopping online, I go through one of two shopping portals: www.ebates.com (cash back) or www.mypoints.com (gift cards).
Very helpful. Thank you for the info.
One of my favorite sources for smaller boxes is Ace Hardware; they get a lot of stuff shipped to them in small boxes or boxes inside boxes. If the boxes have a lot of text on the outside, I just turn them inside out.
The employees are really nice about letting me raid their recycle bins and loading dock.
I get my boxes only two sizes I currently use from ebay seller UBOXES.. they are in my area and once I buy they are here the next day… also get from the post office.. gonna look into those bubble wrap ones… could use them! thanks for the video
@denia72 I hope you start doing videos, too! Would love to see what you are finding in Canada!
@ounitproductions I can definitely recommend Uline as a great source – the more you buy, the cheaper the boxes are; but you can get smaller quantities from them.
Very, very helpful resource tips! Thanks so much for sharing
I get A LOT of boxes from the Post Office…. and here it’s only about 80 cents at Wal-Mart for their 16x16x9 boxes, which I use a whole lot of. They work well for many of the items I ship. I usually get my packaging tape at Staples, my kraft paper at either Wal-Mart or Staples, and Bubble Wrap at Staples. looking to cut costs so thanks for some of the advice… I’ve been thinking about Uline for a while now….
FREE boxes from your Post Office, OMG that’s Fantastic. Here in Canada the Post office charges for everything and it’s not cheap! I use Uline for all my shipping supplies.They are right around the corner so I can pick-up anytime. .05 a box you cant go wrong. Thanks for sharing! I think Ill start doing some videos too and share my Canadian Finds, LOL
I order the priority boxes from the post office also. I tend to use boxes and bubble wrap from work. We get a lot of packages shipped to our office so I use them mainly! I ship my clothing in tyvek bags I get on ebay. And the bubble envelopes I usually buy at the dollar store or walmart!
