I'm having trouble finding companies that don't charge an arm and a leg for shipping. I've purchased boxes from Uline and once it's all said and done I end up paying a few cents more per box for shipping than the actual cost of the box itself, so it more than doubles the total cost.
I'm looking for boxes, protective edges or corners and so one.
Please let me know what experiences you've had in the past, ideas of actions to take or companies I should look into.
Thanks In Advance
