I can get a 24x12x12 box for $0.75 cents.
uline is 1.05
while china quote is around $0.5 USD.
But for $0.25 is for peace of mind.
Also I can get plastic pallet for 1/3 of what uline is offering.
Check with your local supplier.
Tell your beautiful wife to haggle the price. You look too much like mafia, haha.
Do you know you can haggle price with uline also? even shipping.
