 Low Price Packaging Shipping Supplies Are Essential

For Antiques-Collectables-Art. "Cheap, cheap, cheap", Save money, build your business!

Low Price Packaging Shipping Supplies

Low price packaging shipping supplies can save you a fortune over time. As dealers on eBay and other sites we're often asked by folks "where do you buy your boxes, bubble wrap, tape and material."

We do a lot of shipping, we go through dozens of rolls of bubble wrap and bags of packing peanuts pretty regularly and have for decades. As a result, we've spent a fair bit of time finding ways to cut costs by finding the least expensive packaging material possible.  A roll of bubble wrap from one supplier can cost $65 plus delivery and other vendors sell exactly the same type for $35 with FREE SHIPPING. How this is possible is due to many factors, not the least of which is how good one supplier is over another in negotiating volume discounts and how much they actually buy.

What prices are when it comes to packaging, the rule is:  The more your supplier buys, the cheaper he/she can sell it. Pretty simple

Low Price Packaging Shipping Supplies, The Basic Things You Can Really Save Money On

Essential Shipping Supplies: Bubble Wrap, Wrapping Paper, Packing Tape, Boxes (inner and outer), Tape Gun, Digital Scales, Box Reducer (a must have)

As much as we like eBay for many things, we've found AMAZON is pretty much unbeatable on price for items with FREE shipping. This seems to hold true even when compared to eBay it

Ship smarter, save money

ems offering Free Shipping. I cannot emphasize the importance of  FREE Shipping enough, while the cost per box for example might be slightly higher (often not), when you add in typical shipping charges you save a small fortune. This is especially true for larger orders as most box companies, including Uline, use FREIGHT carriers which can add as much as a dollar to the cost of each box.

 

 

If you Ship Via USPS, Remember they offer MANY Free Boxes

The USPS offers a decent variety of FREE boxes for shipping via Priority and Express mail services. Be sure to check them out. Even if you do not use the USPS for

shipping, their FREE boxes make dandy "inner" boxes in many cases for those of you who always :double box". USPS boxes however cannot be used as outer boxes for UPS, Fed-Ex etc.. They deliver for free! Click here to visit the USPS Box Center

While Low price packaging shipping supplies is always nice, getting some for free is even better. Its always about keeping your overhead DOWN. Shipping expenses is a big part of it.
