Packing Stuff?

[hungrych]

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.

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.

what do you need?

A bunch of bubble wrap I guess; also some boxes.

I'll try out wal-mart and kinkos since they're close to each other, and staples if that doesn't work. Thanks guys!

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.

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.
