Just wondering if anyone here buys boxes to ship their bears........and knows of a good place to order them in regards to price and quality. I need boxes that will fit my larger bears, 16-20 inches, and enough room for a good 4 inches of packing material around them. Usually, I try to recycle and use boxes I already have, but lately I'm not having enough so am really scrounging for them. bear_wacko   Any ideas anyone? :pray:

Hi.  I buy boxes from a company called Uline.  They have just about every size you can imagine and have same day shipping if you order by 6:00 p.m.   You can go to www.uline.com and see what all they have.

I've used ULine too and they are great!  For shipping within the US I use the free Priority Boxes.  If one box is not big enough, I tape 2 together!

I get my boxes from USPS... but Uline is a good place to order from as well!

You can also get nice shipping boxes from Wal-mart, they are in the stationary department next to the other shipping supplies. Mom and I get most of our boxes from Staples, they usually have the sizes/quantity that we need. Uline is also a great place to get boxes from.

:hug: Thanks everyone!  I did go ahead and order the size I need from Uline.........price wasn't too bad, although I almost choked at the shipping. bear_tongue  But, I figure I will be saving on not having to use the brown package paper and so much of the packaging tape. bear_thumb It should all average out......


Wish we had a Staples close by and a Super Walmart.  Our little Walmart doesn't have much for boxes.......all too small.  But......we are getting a Super Walmart soon, so I will check for them there later!  I do get my smaller boxes from USPS too though.........it's great these boxes are free! bear_thumb
