Supplies
Anchor Box
Company has a no-frills website. They have some of the best prices on
the shipping supplies I use.
Interesting that their boxes (since they are a box company) are more
expensive than what I found at Associated Bag. They also require a minimum
order of $25.00
Associated
Bag. This catalog company that deals mostly with . . .
- you guessed it, bags.
Poly bags for packing all sorts of things. They also have a lot of
shipping supplies to choose from. They have a good no-frills website that
is easy to use and pretty good prices.
Of all the places I checked, they have some of the lowest prices second
only to Anchor Box listed above.
