ECOMMERCE

This question is directed to those who ship physical products. I have products I sell online that are fragile and prepackaged. The packaging the products came in are not secure enough to ship through the mail and I am getting many damaged products. Does anyone know the best place to purchase boxes from? I am looking for larger boxes than the ones I have so I can bubble wrap the crap out of the product. The local place I went to for boxes charges a lot and any personalized or customer boxes they have to order. I figure it would be cheaper if I just order them and skip the middle man. Where do businesses order their boxes with personalized logos on them?

I appreciate your help in advance.

  I know others will pop up with their suggestions. Here in Hawaii i go to a local store since shipping to the islands negates any cost savings.
  
  uline is the big one but a lot buy from eBay sellers as well.
  
  As for your logo, can you get a a plain box and a big ass stamp with your logo? It might be cheaper and easier versus the minimum order sizes for logo'ed boxes.
  
  Also, check some of the fulfillment companies and see if they will brand your boxes if you use them for fulfillment.
  
  Thanks

  thanks for the responses. I will check out Uline. I have looked on ebay but the boxes I have found look pretty thin.

I second Uline. As a little "bonus" they give you free stuff if you spend enough on an order:

I used to get all kinds of cool stuff from them when I fulfilled orders myself! Hope this helps!
