Hi All,

New guy here. Curious about sourcing boxes. Uline? Grocery store empties?

USPS flat rate boxes seem way too expensive.

Any input is much appriceated.

Thanks----

USPS Flat Rate boxes are completely free.

Any other box is fine. Sometimes I reuse boxes from Amazon or Chewy etc.

Although the Flat Rate boxes may be free the seller must still pay for the shipping charge which is why these boxes at the post office can have a charge.

I am aware of that.

I had assumed that the OP was inquiring about obtaining free boxes to use to ship items.

Hi @josat_4

You can buy packs of shipping boxes right here on eBay or reuse boxes that are in good condition.
