I'm going to order pints, mailers, boxes, and more from Walter E. Nelson by Friday morning. They seem to be a less offensive company politically than Uline and more affordable when accounting for Uline's astronomical shipping prices.
If you'd like to benefit from sharing transport costs, email Todd directly with your questions and order by Friday.
Below is the pricing on the things we're likely to order. Give him a call if you're curious about other items. They seem to have most things Uline has.
