I am having trouble finding shipping boxes in my area. I found one company but can not always meet the minimum purchase. Also, how can I find more local wholesales for theme items such as sports or city themes? Thanks for any help? Happy New Year |

Uline is a great source for shipping boxes. There's no mimimum, and they ship out very quickly. They ship out same day, if you order before 6:00 p.m. I always receive my boxes in record time. It only takes a day or two before I get my boxes. They have branches all over the U.S. 800-295-5510 www.uline.com Happy New Year to you and everyone!!

I agree with Sherrill. Uline is a great source for shipping boxes. Also, if you happen to be located near one of their locations, you can go pick up your order. -rena

Thank you, I will look them up! What about shipping charges. I noticed when I went to papermart.com the shipping would cost me more or the same as the boxes. |

I love the free shipping with Uline! It saves me a lot of money. They have a Georgia location too - I can order today before 6pm and I get it the next day. Sherry One Great Gift Dropship www.onegreatgiftdropship.com

But, if you are a residential location, they add an additional $30.00 fee. Still a lot cheaper than regular UPS shipping. Lea |

My location is considered residential and they have never charged me a $30 fee. My studio is on my personal property but not in my home. Sherry One Great Gift Dropship www.onegreatgiftdropship.com

You can buy cartons at Masterman's in Auburn, MA, but since that's an hour's drive for you, I don't know whether or not it would be worth it. |

Thanks for the tip!! I have been known to drive an hour for crazy reasons - boxes might not be that bad. I do have this one place in Danvers that I can use - but they don't always have things in stock. They don't require a min. but sometimes that do not get back to you either. |
