Source for shipping Boxes

I am running out of Amazon boxes and wanted to know where you get boxes to ship items on this site? Looking for boxes to ship scopes, bullets and other smaller items as well as long boxes for firearms.
Any help would be very helpful.
Thanks
 
if you frequent your LGS (local gun store) they often have shipping boxes available that they give away before they break them down....just ask. I get some from ULINE like Butch mentioned, but the downside is that sometimes you have to order them in quantities
 
Look up your local corrugated cardboard manufacturer or wholesale box maker. There is one within nearly every big-ish town or small city.

A lot of them make them for the BIG BIG stores. If you really get specific, you can have them make you a die and get exactly what you want.
 
If you're not opposed to Amazon they have a wide assortment of course and smaller quantities and depending on what sizes (usually smaller) you're after you can often find colored boxes if that's important.
 
U-line sells their boxes in a variety of stores.
Home Depot, Lowes, Wall Mart, Office Supply etc.
 
My daughter has a small (at home) business that ships small items all the time. She put me on to the fact that you can get FREE shipping boxes, envelopes and supplies from the PO directly. I've got boxes of various sizes from them and use the USPS all the time now.
Here's the link:

Unless you have a great volume, somebody somewhere is throwing some away. No need to buy any. Amazon is at my neighbors houses 3-4x a week.

Yeah, I go to a local guy who will custom make any box in any shape I want. Costs a little more than a box from a store but not much. If the LGS does not have boxes that I can ship a firearm in I go to this guy. I always box the factory box with protection around the factory box.
 
Every now and then Amazon drops the price on a cheap plano rifle case to $10. That's not much more than buying an empty carboard box of that size.

For smaller items, I use the USPS Flat Rate boxes, since most of the stuff we sell is kind of heavy anyway.
