One of the things I appreciate most about buying shipping boxes wholesale is that I don’t have to worry about running out of boxes in the middle of the packing process. I have moved houses and states, and yes, even countries, multiple times, and I start getting cotton-mouth and heavy-breathing when my boxes start getting low. Somehow we never leave ourselves enough time to get done what we need to get done.
Most of that is because it’s just plain inconvenient to pack up your house! I mean, you still have to live there and function every single minute up until you actually officially move out. So we don’t really think we are as far behind as we are until, well…we are! I hate that feeling. I mean, it just really sucks. Somehow it always makes my bones hurt, and it makes me feel like giving up. It makes me feel like the amazing adventure that is about to come, that I am actually living through, is just plain ruining my life.
I remember those times of stashing boxes for weeks in advance, for asking all of my friends to save any boxes (as a side note, shoe boxes and coffee maker boxes never really do any good. Can you imagine packing a whole house in super small boxes? Talk about nightmare!). Finally, when everyone was completely wrung dry, I would start buying them. At the Uhaul store I was absolutely appalled to see their prices. You would think that they would offer shipping boxes wholesale…not so much. Even in my desperate state I left with zero boxes, and that is not a good feeling for the mover. I wound up finding decent prices and decent sizes at Lowes.
The problem, though, was that I wound up going back multiple times, and spent about twenty bucks. Don’t think that’s a big deal? If I had just taken myself to PackagingSupplies.com (if I had even known about it), I could have gotten an entire bundle of twenty-five for the same price. I even went to Wal-Mart and bought a few extra plastic totes! I could have avoided all of that stress (So. Much. Stress.)
just by being ahead of the game and ordering the shipping boxes wholesale from PackagingSupplies.com. Now that’s where it’s at! Don’t believe me? I dare you to try it. I triple dog dare you.
I mention all of this because you can start by saving with some cheap cardboard boxes. Please don’t misunderstand: I didn’t say crappy cardboard boxes, I said cheap cardboard boxes. At PackagingSupplies.com they actually offer products of amazing quality at amazing prices. This is a company that knows all about competitive marketing and sales. I mean, where else can you buy a bundle of fifty boxes for less than twenty bucks? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
immediately going on and on and it took me a full fifteen minutes to get her to realize that I couldn’t hear her, because apparently the speaker had been smudged over with mustard. If you have ever tried to have a conversation through mustard, or a condiment of any kind, then you know that one person winds up not being able to understand a single thing. Once I had gotten my great-aunt to settle down and finish her sandwich, I was able to get to the bottom of things. Apparently she was very concerned because she had to order some custom shipping boxes but one of her dogs had run away and turned up in South Dakota. She absolutely needed to go and retrieve her retriever, but she absolutely needed to restock her custom shipping boxes. She would be far behind in orders if she waited until she got back. Could I, would I, please place the order for her?
Wouldn’t want people just tossing these babies around, now would we? Which is exactly what people do when there aren’t instructions printed largely, and clearly, on the item. Not that I blame them. It would be rather tiresome, if not impossible, to handle each and every package as if it carried…well, hazardous material. I could try to explain how the hazardous shipping containers are different from your standard cardboard shipping boxes, but I don’t think that I can.
