Where to get shipping boxes?

[edd_jedi]

I have just listed a load of video games on eBay and don't have enough boxes to post them all out in. I need boxes that are approx 10 x 6 x 4 inches, so quite small. The cheapest I can find on eBay is £15 for 10 which seems ridiculous! Is there anywhere better to buy them from?

i use these guys £15 for 50 boxes, although these were 9x6x6

Grocery stores throw these away as well as many retail stores...reuse....be cheap...save a tree.

Exactly, that's why I'm loathed to pay £1+ for boxes that must cost fractions of pence to make. I usually have enough left over from my own purchases, annoyingly I threw a load away a few months ago.

I use wer.online on ebay. Buy 100s of boxes from them. The white die cut ones are the best because there's no glueing/taping etc needed they just fold together. (i do sellotape them sealed for security)

Works out at 65p a box if you buy 50. Seems like a lot to buy but they're always handy to have around.

When it comes to packing materials I try and re-use all my old boxes, most can be unfolded and refolded inside out making them look nice and new.

Use old boxes from work, the one's A4 paper comes in are very good.

Sorry if this is useless info,
