Hi Listees!

Does anyone want to split a wholesale box order with me? I need
to purchase some small shipping boxes (no bigger than 6x6") and
I don't want to get gouged on the price. Everywhere I look on
eBay, on Google, Uline, etc - they all want too much per unit,
or they overcharge on shipping. I am *not* going to pay anywhere
near .50 per box when I am buy 100 or more of them. Who do they
think they are fooling? One place wanted over $30 to ship
2 flat bundles of 50 single-wall 6x4x2 boxes! I can ship an
entire telescope, mount and tripod legs for that! Gimme a break.

Is there any place on the web where I can buy 100 small shipping
boxes for less than $50 (shipped) ?

If not, maybe a couple of listees would want to split a larger
wholesale order, so we can get a decent price? Heck, for 50 cents
a box, I'll go out into the woods with an axe, cut down the trees,
and hand-craft them into boxes myself! ;) LOL

(my uncle JC retired from a corrugated box factory, I know what
these cost to make!) - and no, they don't sell directly to the
public unfortunately.

Regards and clear skies,

MikeG
