    Help, where can I get mail boxes??

    Hi everyone
    I need your advice. I need to locate somewhere I can purchase boxes for sending my CDs and papers out to my trade customers. I have found some boxes that have 'done' for deliveries I have had to send out today but I need to find a supplier that is reliable, and has boxes of different sizes. My papers are 8" x 8". Any ideas would be gratefully received. I have been searching Ebay and googling and pretty much getting nowhere fast!
    Thanks

    Sounds stupid...............but I used to get my cd boxes from the post office when I was sending out Jpegs. They do have a lot of standard size boxes. I can't believe I just advertised the post office! Blleeeuuuuurrgh!

      Hi Anice

      Glad you're getting lots of orders after the NEC - I found that I was so busy catching up on customers orders when we got back that I haven't had time to look through all the catalogues I picked up there yet

      Anyway, back to the question....I use Aid-Pack for most of my postal boxes as they seemed to have the best choice for flatish boxes and not bad prices too (waaaay cheaper than the PO) plus next day delivery - biggest drawback is the p&p charge unless you order over £175 so worth stocking up if you have the space

            Thanks

            Thanks for your replies. Staples is where I picked up the boxes I used for my last orders. They were ok and did the job yesterday but I really need more choice of sizes for future orders.

            Natty Netty, it has been a bit mad since the NEC show, orders coming out of my ears (which I am not complaining about!) I haven't even had time to do my follow ups from the show yet. Thats a job for the next couple of days.. if I get the chance!

            Once again thanks everyone for your help.
