hungrych Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Where do you guys get your packing stuff? I don't have any from stuff I've gotten, which is what I normally use, and the post office is way too expensive for the tiny amount of stuff you get.

GPH Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I usually reuse boxes that I receive, but I had to go to Staples (called Bureau En Gros here) once to buy a big box and bubble wrap. Prices were decent from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 what do you need? A bunch of bubble wrap I guess; also some boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'll try out wal-mart and kinkos since they're close to each other, and staples if that doesn't work. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'd look for a packing store, they're often cheaper than you think and can come in very handy if UPS/FedEx/USPS decides to drop kick your package during delivery. Having someone who gives them thousands of dollars a year in business helps in getting claims settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asr Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 You should be able to get free boxes at a supermarket or other similar large store, just ask if they have overstock. You could also try a local business that you know ships or receives a lot. IT/IS companies receive boxes routinely (like from Dell for example, or other OEM hardware vendors) that can work great. For packing tape, foam peanuts, or bubble wrap, I've always used Office Depot or OfficeMax. They have boxes too but the selection is pretty limited.

If you don't mind using USPS (Priority), they deliver the flat-rate boxes to your house for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
