Where do you get your shipping boxes?

Rob Jenkins Nov 01, 2003 09:01 PM

I've been using the ones sold by reptilepackaging.com, but was wondering what everyone else uses? I also had been getting some real nice ones from my wife's work, but she switched clinics so doesn't get them anymore. Plus, they cost a ton to send UPS, because they were much heavier than these others. Anyone use bulk styrofoam and cut it? How do you cut the foam?

Thanks

Thanks for the website Rob! I don't ship often and the place I was using is almost twice as expensive per box. Anyone else?

I used the 1" moulded styrofoam insulated inserts that slips into a corregated box from www.coldice.com/index.html. Fortunately, they are local and I just go pick them up, but they are about $4.50 each and really sturdy.
