? Where is the best place to purchase shipping boxes.
Okay, here's the deal. I'm starting to sell off a bunch of my Statues, Maquettes and busts. But I don't have the right box sizes that I need to ship them in..I have gone to UPS and their price is around 5.30 for a 12x12x9...Way too much money for that...I've also gone to Staples....Home Depot has 12x12x12 boxes for only 0.67 but the outside of the boxed is spammed with there freakin Home Depot Logo's...

I'm looking for some good prices on boxes and the Ideal box size that I'm looking for is 12x10x10 or maybe a little smaller...

Any suggestions or advice on where to go?

Oh! By the way this is what I have up for sale on ebay right now and with alot more to come...

If I were you I'd go to your local liquor store. You can find tons of boxes there and they are free or you can check out craigslist in the free section ( lots of people just want to get rid of boxes)

PLus you can pay through paypal and get a discount. Buy a scale on ebay, a $20 investment will pay for itself real quick.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

USPS is where i get all my smaller boxes.

Large boxes i find around my job, family etc... I got people looking for me on boxes, so when they get some they just drop it off at my parents for me. Nice to have a big family.

When i need a large one and need it sturdy i hit staples sometimes. They have large ones at a ok prices.
