Bubble wrap

[ga_open_box_llc]

Looking for reasonably price bubble wrap. We could order from uline and just do a 30 day net, but there a $60 freight fee, due to the size. I've looked all over the place, and usually people complain about the quality on the cheaper stuff. Just see if perhaps anyone has some recommendations before I just decide to go with uline. They aren't really too pricy,  but with the cost of shipping it breaks down to be about 9 cent a square foor, but we would have to order in bulk. It's not a huge deal, just don't see a sense in buying so much at once, if I could get the same price per foot somewhere else and not have to buy 8 huge rolls at once just to get the discount pricing.

I don’t know what your needs are but if you live close to a Walmart, they sell 12in x 100ft bubble wrap for under $20.00 you can get it yourself or they deliver same day or there’s 2-3 day shipping as well.

You can get 12" x 700' for under $40 shipped right here on ebay. It's a 'bit' thinner, but even if you used twice as much, like getting 12" x 350' for under $40. Nobody can touch that.

Unfortunately that wouldn't be very cost effective due to the cost per square and the amount.  We typically will go though about 1 or 2 of those 750 ft small bubble rolls in about a month or less, depending on how may auctions we end up running. So the $20, 100ft roll may last a week or less. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Since i didn’t know what your needs were I just through that out there. 
Hope you find what your looking for.

Yea, I looked at those and was considering them, just was on the fence due to the reviews on the product,  but it does end up evening out in the end, due to the free shipping.

When i bought bubble wrap, I bought it at Sam's Club. 

I don't belong to Costco, so , not sure about them.

I've seen it in Home Depot &/or Lowes.

I didn't when think about this.  Thanks! I actually get 20% coupons from them periodically,  and completely forgot I have some.

I've bought and used it for 12 years, over 22000 items wrapped and NOT 1 was a problem. 

At .06c a sheet, I actually don't use 1 'extra' piece than I did when buying some products that were 2x as much and maybe a 'bit' thicker; but, bubbles is bubbles so may the 'thicker' is just a was of money?

I also put some things in a 'bubble envelope' .

I sell sharp metal, when only 1 item, not a big deal, but 50% of my orders consist of 2 or more items and they have to be protected FROM each other or they will damage/scratch. Again; been using for ages and not an issue.

Been using those 4X175 discount rolls for the last 2 years. Noticeably lesser quality, but just as effective. Admittedly, I might use an extra sheet or two once in awhile, but certainly not enough to warrant spending twice as much.....

No issues with damage and saving a good percentage on bubble wrap costs.....

U-Haul has bubble wrap !!

[ga_open_box_llc]

Yeah, I had been using some from a guy that had some from uline,  but had been stored for awhile, so it wasn't the best, but it worked. He had only charged me about $10 per roll a big 700ft roll for the small bubble and the 250ft of 1/2 bubble, it was a steal and bought it all. It made sense to buy it, but now going to uline and seeing the total amount off $350 for 8 rolls, it was a shocker. The price per square foot is about 9 cent, but dont see the sense in buying so much,  if I'm able to buy as a I use it and get around the same price. Glad I was able to get some seller opinions on the value,  because now it seems to be something thay wouldn't hurt to try out. Thanks for the input, it really helps.

I've bought from a number of suppliers and now use this one, it's a quality wrap and ships quick.

I sell a lot of glass, china, and pottery. This is 18" wide, I use it sideways, I cut across the width.

I've been able to cut down on the use of peanuts and foam which cost more.

For any common packaging item, it is rarely available at the lowest price at Uline. Especially if you have to pay for shipping.

There are some great suppliers on Ebay, like Valuemailers to consider for packaging supplies. The Boxery  is also good. Several of these suppliers also sell on other marketplaces, so sometimes because of the way the marketplaces work, one might have a slightly better deal.

Home Depot offers competitively priced, quality bubble wrap.

In many cities there are local suppliers who deliver for free and offer very attractive prices/
